an assured fact insofar as the Stetson
company is concerned. This famous
dramatic organization appears at the
Oregon theater tonight in an entirely

this reason, Manager Washburn Sc

Atlantic City, n. john Risley
had thirst for liquor that was equal
to a mania.
Better lock me in room and take
my clothes away from me- he sug-
gested to relatives.
The suggestion was carried out, but
being prisoner did not quench Ris-
ley's thirst. 1t became so great that
he went mad. He climbed out of a
window to a porch roof, dropped to
the ground and started racing through
the streets of Atlantic City.
AS the scantiy attired figure DASH
ed through the western section the re-
port was circulated that a wild maa
was at large. Those who saw Risley
sought safety in their homes behind
locked doors and windows.
The police We're informed. They
saw the white figure scampering first
in one street and then in another. 1t
was raining hard, but water could not
slack the sort of thirst Risley had, and
the more he thirsted the more fleet of
foot he proved. The police, distanced,
saw the fugitive plunge into a pool Of
water and apparently disappear. Then
they gave up the chase.
Passengers on a train bound for
this city saw what they believed to be
a dead man stuck in a quagmire be-
side the tracks. 1t was Risley. He
was barely breathing when he was
got ashore, but quickly revived iL

applied. He was still having, how
ever, and his relatives decided the
proper place for such place as he
possessed was Philadelphia institu-

LONG TIME GOING EAST.
Californian Takes Twenty-Seven Years
to Cross Continent.

Dobbs Ferry, n. UT took Walter
Clark twenty-seven years to cross the
continent from Eureka, Cal, to this
place, and he did not walk, either.
He left California in 1885 to visit
a cousin here, but stopped in Salt
Lake City, and liked the town so we'll
that he stayed there seven years.
Then he journeyed as far as Wichita,
Kan, and remained there until 1903,
when he moved on to Saginaw, Mich.
He stayed there until few weeks
ago.
When Clark reached this place he
found his cousin had moved to Mont
pelier, Vermont, five years ago, so
he has not finished his trip yet.

This is campaign of picturesque
language. Such terms as liar. pick
pocket, thief. blackmailer and boodler
are very common among both the Re-
publicans and the Bull Moose people.
In South Carolina the Democratic fac

This just serves to add to the gaiety
of the occasion and it may be inferred
that these politicians, apart from being

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 10, 1919.
The Election
In Maine.

The recent state election in Maine,
where the combined efforts of the Re-
publicans and the third party people
only succeeded In defeating the Demo-
cratic state ticket by a meager 1000
votes, clearly indicates the final and
overwhelming downfall Of the Repub-
lican party in November. The early
election in Maine was even more of a
political barometer than that in YER
mont.
In the Green Mountain state each of
the three parties had full ticket and
it was a fair and equal trial of
strength. It was somewhat different
in the Pine Tree state, where the Re-
publicans and the Progressives united
with the single purpose of defeating
the Democratic l.~---inees. And then
they almost failed. After this at the
White House and at Beverly, the tu-
multi and the shouting dies. It is prac-
tically all over but the shouting.
If this state election means any
thing. it means that Wilson and Mar
shall viii as surely carry Maine 4
November as the sun is to rise on cleo
ton day. The Roosevelt sentiment is
somewhat strong in Maine. Perhaps
1t is stronger than the standpat Re-
publican sentiment. In this election
the Roosevelt party united with the
Republicans. horse, foot and dragons.
to prevent the election of Democratic
state ticket and of solid Democratic
congressional delegation.
At the November election, each of
tho three parties will have a full
ticket in the field and even If the Bull
Moose people should only get beg
carly few thousand votes-a mere
handfull-the triumph of Wilson and
Marshall will be sure and complete.
At this time and at this distance it
looks as II President Taft will only
states.
New England is returning to its
ancient moorings, to use somewhat
trite expression. That section has
profted more than any other by the
wicked and unjust system of protec-
ton, but 1t has been the favored few,
the wealthy manufacturer. who has
profited and the New England wage
Garner. the New England farmer an
the New England tradesman has in all
these years been robbed just as have
the mass of the people in all sections
of the country.
The New England voter has been
awakened out Of a Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep Of a half century and he can no
longer be depended on by his vote to
swell the plethorous Golfers of the ia
vored interests. The shipping interests
of New England are beginning to
realize that the Republican policy has
driven the ships Of America from the
seas and they win cast their votes and
ii.auence with the party of equal rights
and even justice.
The Pensacola Journal some time
ago predicted that President Taft
would carry Vermont and Utah and so
far nothing has happened to place any
other state in that column for a GER
tainty.
