following statement, today. regarding
the Maine election;
we are. of course, disappointed that
Maine did not go Democratic. this
year, but it was too much to expect.
1t is a Republican state and the re-
suit will be determined wholly by To-
cal issues and conditions. Maine is
neither barometer nor a thermom-
eter of the national election. This is
proven by the fact that in, the first
Cleveland campaign it went Republi-
can by more than 10000 majority, and
in the third Cleveland campaign by
more than 1900 majority, and yet the
Democrats won in November. The
election is n Democratic victory in one
sense that the Republican majority in
the state has been reduced to the pitt
full figure of $500. It seems certain that
Wilson and Marshall will carry the
State. in November"

Mrs. Persons believes that the idea
of growing the trademark of the rail-

obtained by covering that portion of

The covered portion remains white.
After it ripens the paper is removed
