The speaker declared that the size of
the meeting was an indication of the
great interest shown, He said that he
had visited every county in the State
and many of the towns and cities and
had found marked sentiment in fla
vor of returning the Republican party
to power in Maine.
II don't know as we need any speech
es to return the Republican party to
power in Maine; it's in the air" said
the speaker.
ut is u wonderful thing to know
that so early as May. the voters are
interested and are already beginning
to talk of Republican success in Sep

Mr.. Haines declared that the most
complete justification of the direct pri :
mary and corrupt practices acts would
be the size of the vote cast at the pri-
mary election in June. IF We get 40
ner cent. of the normal Republican
vote the primary law will have been
justified ITSELF

Very Queer.

Verify, politics make strange
bed fellows, but the strangest
thing we have heard of is the
alliance etweenthe Bull Moosers
and the Socialists up in Craw-
ford county. The Bull Moosers
up there voted for the Roosevelt
electors, Stubs and Capper, and
then jumped over into the Social.
ist column and voted the balance
of the ticket, electing every So
cialist in Crawford county except
one.
It Is the queerest mix.up of
bed fellows we have ever heard
of.
One night last week the lead
ing Republicans and leading
Democrats of the city of Pitts
held a little executive session
and formed a combination for
next springs city election. The
Socialists, Democrats and kepub-
licans each have approximately
eight hundred votes in Pitts.
burg, and to keep the Socialists
from carrying the city in April
it is necessary to combine against
them.
In this county there is already
a growing sentiment that the
Republicans and Democrats must
form a combination before an
other county campaign rolls
around. In Ross township, how
ever, the combined Republican
and Democratic vote would equal
only half the Socialist vote.
Verify the Socialists are get
ting strong in Southeast Kansas.
