September afternoon to go to these
towns to hear the Governor talk.
There was no stimulated enthusiasm
about these meetings. Plain. hard facts
was what they wanted and what the
Governor gave them in his short
speeches. They We're pleased with him
ard with what he had to say. The
town committee men in every instance
told him that the country was wide
awake and that the vote in ArOostoOk
this year would be larger by many
hundreds over the Republican vote
of two years ago. Then Gov. Feranld
was an unknown quantity, but today
they know him and believe in him.

Those who have been over the State
claim that there is no more question
about the Republican victory on Sept.

on that day. 1t is only a question of
the size of tie plurality and you can
find men everywhere who estimate
that the Governors plurality this year

figures to back up their views. The
Republican campaign managers in the
counties where the Governor has been

Peculiar Accident

SANTA ANA, May Mrs. Egbert
II. Smith Of Los Angeles lost her life
in peculiar accident near here last
night Mrs. Smith was visiting at the
home OF c. F. Campbell.
Before retiring last night she went
into the bathroom and the family be-
lieved that after her bath she had gone
TO her apartment. When she was called
for breakfast today it was found that
