Maine ELECTION
FULL OF INTEREST
STATE SURELY REPUBLICAN,
BUT SIZE OF PLURALITY WILL
INDICATE INROADS MADE BY
DEMOCRATS.

Augusta, Me, Sept. 12-The ell
eCtions in Maine, including the
choice of representatives. in con-
gress will be held Monday. The cam
raign closes today with rousing
| meetings in every nook and corner
of the state. There is admittedly
| some anxiety among the Republic
| cans over the outcome. and CORE
spending pleasant expectations on
the part of the Democrats No Re-
publican, however, is willing to ad
| nit that there is the slightest
chance for the Democrats to carry
the state. From their viewpoint it
is only a question of large or a
small Republican plurality.
The Republican nomine for gov
ernor is Bert M. Fernald of West
Poland, a wealthy Gamer and bust
rtss man. He has served in both
branches of the legislature with
distinction and is one of the most
popular members of the party
The Democrats have nominated as
| their candidate for governor o.
diah Gardner Of Rockland, for sew
eral Years head of the State Grange
Mr.. Gardner Is particularly popular
among the farmers. His nomination
is considered wise move on t.
part Of the Democrats, for the rec
ord Of the past years has shown
! their weakness to be in the rural
districts. Mr.. Gardner is the first
farmer who has ever been named
for the governorship.
The one big issue of the state
campaign is prohibition. Shall tho
rrohibitary amendment which has
been in force since 1888. be re.
| submitted to the voters? The Re-
publicans say no. The Democrats
say yes. The Republicans argue
that the temperance question was
taken out Of politics when the am
endment was adopted. that the state
has been unprecedented1y prosper
Gus during the outlawry of the sd
loon. and that there is no good red-
son for allowing the electors to pass
OH the question again. The Demo-
Gratis say that there Is large
amount of drunkenness in Maine,
that the savings bank deposits make
a poor showing in comparison with
those of other states, that prohibit
+icu is a mere political football and
that no harm can come from re:
fsubmfssion, because II the state ia
EstiIT in favor Of prohibition 1t will
HAYS che opportunity to say 30 at
the nils again. s:
One other local issue Of consid-
cradle Interest is that OF state xp.
| prof. rfat,ons. TIE Democrats COM
plain That the e. pense Of running
tire state unde; Republican rule has
more than doubled in the past few
years The Republicans reply that
I this expense Of the appropriations
account IL justified.
The only congressional fight OF
much Interest IS that i'm the Third
district. represented by Edwin c.
BurIefgh. who has been in the house
since the Fifty-first congress- In
the last election his plurality was
but 1900 and this year the Demo.
Gratis have centered their efforts
| upon his defeat.

A. famous pianist. while strolling in
the country. came upon an inviting
tavern. Being thirsty. he entered, and
ordered a glass of beer, AS he was
about to raise the glass OF refreshing
beverage to his lips he spied a piano
in the next room. Releasing his glass
without touching its contents, the
artist stepped into the piano room, sat
down before his favorite instrument
and. being in the mood, began TO pour
out his feelings in soul-stirring melody.
Just as he was In the midst Of his
Inspiration, a gruff voice in his ear
stopped him abruptly. Looking up In
surprise and indignation. the pianist
beheld the bartender standing over
him with a glass Of beer in his hand.

THIN PEOPLE
OF Bennington, Try This.

Weigh yourself. Take Vinol a while
Weigh yourself again. The gain In
flesh, strength and appetite will be
better arguments for Vinol than all we
can say.
This is because Vinol contains in a
concentrated form all the medicinal
elements Of cod liver oil taken from
fresh Gods livers, but 1t is a better
body builder and strength creator
than cod liver oil or emulsions because
the useless, indigestible and nauseat-
ing oil has been eliminated and pep
tomato of iron added.
Vinol creates an appetite, streng-
thens every organ in the body, tones
up the digestive organs, makes rich,
red blood and firm, healthy flesh.
As body builder and strength ere.
ator for old people, weak women, del
icate children, and after sickness and
for pulmonary troubles, Vinol is rec
commended by over 5000 of the leading
druggists of the United States.
So sure are we of what Vinol will do
that we refund money to those who
try Vinol and are not benefited w.

DO not wash oilcloth or linoleum In

DO aot cut heavy cord or cardboard
with scissors. for 1t will spread the

Sponges should always be hung by

Every coffee cot should occasionally
