BOWDOlN- BATES.

Brunswick. Me-, Nov. 1.-tSpeciaD.--
Tha students of Bowdoin showed that
they have great confidence that they
will win out in the football game with
Bates, tomorrow, in rally held. this
evening, in Memorial hall. If Bowdoin
defeats Bates, tomorrow, the White
will stand d chance of tying the cham
pionship. The game, last Saturday, at
Lewiston between Bates and Maine
showed that these two teams are
evenly matched. Bowdoin men, there
fore, feel that victory over Bates,
tomorrow, and a defeat of Colby eth
err by Maine or Bates are all that is
needed to place Bowdoin at the top
Of the list. The applause given the
speakers at the rally, last night. and
the general feeling showed that in
spite of the defeat, last Saturday. at
Brunswick by Colby, Bowdoin still has
good chance.
During the last week. Coach Ber-
gin has been busy remedying the
weaknesses shown in the last game

Washington, Nov AT the White

of education which the Republican
party is conducting would bring the
people to a clear understanding of
their own interest in Republican sue
cess, this year.
4 am sure that every man whose
judgment is not controlled by his pre-
judiee now realizes that this is a cam
paign between the Republican and
Democratic parties. 1t is apparent that
the Third party movement has not
gained Roadway as national force,
and that again the alternative is pre-
scented to the American people either
to support the protective policy OF
the party in power CT to turn over the
government to those who are commit
tee to repeat the experiment which
resulted in a commercial explosion
when last it was tried.

Those who live in a rarified atmos-
phere have wider range of vision
than those whose homes are In the
lowiands. But the people of Colorado
do not need their vantage of altitude
to see that Democratic victory means
the striking down of great industry
which has been luilt up In their state.
II does not require profound knowl-
edge of the principles of political econ

derstand that the placing of sugar on
