Woodrow Wilson today declared him.
self satisfied with the outcome of the
gubernatorial election in Maine.
Il think the results are very satis-
factory indeed" he said, based on the
results of both four years ago and two
years ago. Two years ago the Repub-
licans were divided but this time they
were united. That makes a great diff
ference. In 1904, as remember, Re-
publican governor was elected by 25,-
900 and President Taft's majority was
about 10000"
Governor Wilson added that the es-
sential thing to consider was that
while the Republicans in Maine had
gotten together, the Democrats had
more than held their own, reducing Re-
publican pluralities extensively. He
thought also that the vote in Maine
showed the same drift as it did in
Vermont. namely, that the Democrats
were not losing, but gaining votes in
states ordinarily Republican.
The governor came here on behalf
Of the state to attend the ninth ma
tional encampment Of the United
Spanish War Veterans. He was ac-
companied by his military staff. He

West Hammond, ILL.,. Sept. lot
takes a lot of moral courage for one
young woman, almost single handed,
to start out to clean up big town.
Yet that is exactly what Miss Virginia
Brooks has begun to do with West
Hammond. Miss Brooks, as you may
know is a strenuous young reformer,
likewise a suffragist, and withal a per-
son who has ideals and backbone and
determination enough to compel their
realization.
West Hammond is in southern Cook
county Not long ago Miss Brooks
went over to Chicago. which happens
to be the county seat. and told County
Judge Owens "a few things about her
town. More especially did she tell him
about Justice of the Peace Frank
Green, Of West Hammond, and Justice
Charles Wittenburg, of Burnham, a
nearby village. After listening to her
story, Judge Owens issued subpoenas
for the appearance in his court of the
two men.
When the justices were hailed into
court Miss Brooks was there and told
such an amazing story about their Of
fetal conduct that Judge Owens
straightaway authorized the fling Of
informations against them, charging
them with malfeasance in office, neg
ect of duty, extortion and several other
offenses.

Nolan had nothing to say to the

Invitations have been sent by Sec
retary and Manager Lillard, of the
Fair Association, to President Taft, ex-
President Roosevelt, Governor Wood

O'Neal of Alabama, to attend the PEN

An invitation was sent some time

of this state, to attend the fair, this
invitation having been accepted.
1t would be a great honor should
either of the three candidates for the
presidency accept the invitation and
attend the fair and thousands of Wis
itors who might not otherwise visit
here would be brought to Pensac cola as
a result Of the acceptance of any OF
the three.
The invitations have just been for
warded and no replies have as yet been
received to any of them.
Besides these distinguished persons
a number of other prominent officials
have been invited to the fair and II is
certain that some of them will be here.

orderly houses Of West Hammond
have been raided," Miss Brooks told
the judge, "the inmates have pleaded
guilty and have been fined 81 and
costs, the costs amounting to 81. But
when it came to the owners Of the
house, Justice Green has dismissed
them without any fine. He said there
was no evidence to prove that the
house was used for immoral purposes,
although the girl inmate had just
p.1lded guilty"
Miss Brooks said that Justice Green
had collected many fines which had
never been turned over to the county,
which statement was substantiated by
Assistant County Attorney johnson.
She made many other charges. all of
them grave.
The case against the justices will
come up again about the middle of
this month. In the meantime Miss
Brooks is busy gathering evidence.
Miss Brooks did not feel that her
duties were over when she had got
the justices into not water. Through
her efforts Judge Owens and County
Attorney Johnson have been induced
to call to account all the city officials
of West Hammond and the village
authorities of Burnham. There are
likely to be some startling revelations.
Miss Brooks says she is trying to
make West Hammond a decent place
in which to live. 1t looks as If she
might succeed.

M'ADoo SAYS 1T Is a
VICTORY IN ONE SENSE

New York. Sept. 1o.--William G.
McAdoo, acting chairman Of the DEM
ocratic national committee, made the
foil owing statement today regarding
the Maine election:
I'VE are, of course, dis 2ppointed that
Maine did not go Democratic this year.
but it was too much to expect. 1t is
a Republican state and the result was
d. Jrmined wholly by local issues and
conditions. Maine is neither ba-
rometer nor a thermometer of the ma
tional election. This is proven by the
fat that in the first Cleveland cam
paign it went Republican by more
than $4,000 majority and in the third
Cleveland campaign by more than a.
600 majority and yet the Democrats
won in November. The election is a
Democratic victory in one sense, that
the Republican majority in the state
has been reduced to the pitiful figure
of $500. 1t seems certain that Wilson
and Marshall will carry the state in
November"

Washington. Sept. 1o.-The United
States government today granted the
Madero government permission to
move twelve hundred Mexican troops
through United States territory to at
tack rebels in Sonora. The officials
here learned also Of the repulse and
retreat from the border of Rebel Lead
er Salazar. The local government is
apparently gratif1ed to note that the
scene of Mexican hostilities Is appar-
emily being removed from the border.
Mexican troops will be entrained at
Ell Paso and transported to Nogales.
Arizona. Arms will be sealed in ex-
press cars so they can pass through
United States territory unarmed.
REBELS DRIVEN OFF.
Mexican rebels under General Sala-
zar. who began late yesterday a con-
certed attack upon the town Of Dim
aga, opposite Preside, Tex, were
driven off by the federals and are now
rstreating southwesterly in the direc-
ton of San Bardinardo, according to a
dispatch received at the war depart
ment from Gen. e. z. Steever at Ell
Paso.
In the battle resulting from the at
tdck Oh ln6 r6D6IS, the IeO6fal IOTCSS
occupying the city lost four men
killed and a number of horses. The
loss sustained by the rebel forces, If
any, was not ascertained. The mayor
Of Ojinaga crossed the river after the
skirmish and reported to Captain
Adams, in charge of the American pa,
troll. that the federal force was thor 4
oughly loyal and was capable of hold s
ii.g the town against the further rebel
attack.
eneral Steever reported that the
supposed American shot in the hip
late yesterday by a stray bullet that
crossed the border into the town of
Preside. Tex, was in fact a Mexican
citizen.
The activity of Salazar in his re-
peated raids across tie border, and his
threatened reprisal on Americans gave
grave concern to the American Of
icials. His withdrawal has simplified
matters, but the American patrol will
keep close watch on his movements
In his retreat from Ojinaga he has $50
men and three field guns.
Company I of the signal corps has
arrived at Preside from Fort D. A
Russell and has begun arrangements
for system Of intelligence along the
line of the border guards.
