some other Illinois democrat After a
very hard fight. perhaps the hardest
conducted in any state, we succeeded
in landing Illinois back in the demo
cratic column. after a lapse of 20 years,
and we are prouder of that accomplish
ment than anything else outside of the
election Of Mr. Wilson.
Whether or not Illinois is given a
place in the cabinet, I do hope to see
Irving Shuman, the assistant secre tary
OF the national committee, who did most
efficient work at the western headQuar-
tiers, selected as controller OF the cur
rency. Former presidents have gone
to Illinois for men to I'LL this position.
and among those who have been Sc
lected are Mr.. Eckels and Mr. Dawes,
both Of whom did honor to the state.
and am confident that Mr.. Shuman is
equally well equipped to I'LL the posi-
ton. believe that Illinois democ-
rscy will be back of him and will give
him loyal support
IL - nv pOSc4Oie a pESoeul 40 say
what will be the result OF the senator
ial contest There will be two vacan-
cies. one ocoasioned by the retirement
of Senator Cullom. and one caused by
the removal of Senator Lorimer. The
democrats have q majority OF the
house, but lack four on joint ballot 1t
will be necessary. therefore, for some
compromise. and just how it viii be
worked out no one can say al the pres
ent time. l believe, however. that
can safely predict that We will elect
one democratic senator. and since We
have more members in the legislature
than any other party. think We are en-.
titled to the long term. 1t is not i'm,
probable. also, that we may get both
senators"

KENNEBEC.
U-iTCHFIELD.

The West Kennebec District Sunday
schools met in convention at the Bap-
list church, South Litchfeld. Tues
day, with an all-day session. On ac-
count of the rain not many from out
of town We're in attendance, but a
goodly number of the local school was
present, and what the meetings lack
ed in numbers was made up in en-
thusiasm.
The meeting was called to order at
II o'clock, by Rev L. II. Clark of
Gardiner. After a most excellent
praise service. Brother Clark read a
part of the 23rd Chapter of Luke and
made some appropriate remarks. At
noon a Picnic dinner was served in
the church. At lao the meeting was
called to order and Brother Lapham
favored the audience with solo, az
ter which time there was sermon
by Rev. l. IL. Clark, from the text.
Draw Nigh TO God and He Will
Draw to You" James Tvs, followed
by a social service. The church was
decorated very prettily with crepe
paper and potted plants. On motion
