Republicans Are The Victors

Portland, Me-, Sept. S.-Speaker
John A. Peters, republican, of Ellsworth,
was chosen to fill the vacancy in the
Third congressional district today by a
plurality of 553 over Mayor William A.
Pattangall, democrat. of Waterville,
with Edward NJ. Lawrence of Lubec, a
poor third in the race.
The returns in this special election
from all but small island plantation
gave Peters 15,106, Pattangall 14,553
and Lawrence 9, 467.
The vote for presidenc in November
was: Wilson 1882, Roosevelt 1926,
Taft Z, 1853.
The Third district last November
gave President Wilson plurality of
., 3h9 over Taft and 1850 over Roosevelt
The progressive vote showed falling
off of about so per cent from that given
Colonel Roosevelt last November. On
the other hand the Peters vote was 10S
per cent greater than the Taft vote
while the Pattangall and Wilson vote
showed very little variation.
The election made necessary by the
death of Forrest Goodwin. the republican
representative from that district, was
fought out on national issues, with
speakers of national prominence stump
ing the district for the republ can, pro
gressive and democratic candidates
The voters responded TO the appeal in
larger numbers than voted at the last
presidential election. Republican leaders
were jubilant tonight over their success

1T is a well-established and salutary

rule does not depend upon reason tech,

public policy. 1t has its foundation in
the very constitution of our nature for

Beautiful Young Life Ended

1 am thinking today OF that heavenly land
Just beyond the river OF time.
And there comes To me strains from the
angelic band
With its music so rare and sublime.
As we listen, wonder again and again.
OF the gift OF that Savior to me-
OF a home in that land free from trouble and
glad home through Eternity.
Anna Mamie Dewitt, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Dewitt, was born
December LIST. 1891. in Dedham, Iowa,
and has lived there an her life, except
ing five years of her childhood spent in
Gray, Iowa. She departed this life
September 3, 1913, aged 81 years and
months.
She was married August 30, 1911, to
Earl j. Edwards, of Audubon county,
and Dedham has been her home still.
They were very happy together which
makes their separation the more sad.
Mrs Edwards leaves to mourn her
loss, beside her husband and parents,
two brothers and five sisters. The
brothers and sisters are: Mrs A. T.
Orr and Homer Dewitt of North Dako-
Ia, Mrs. John Lewis of Minnesota, Mrs.
frankie Gluckstadt, Roscoe, Marvel
and Cleo Dewitt of Dedham Besides
these she leaves host of relatives and
friends who feel keenly the loss of a
good neighbor and sincere friend.

the Dedham M. e. church by the pastor,
Rev. Z. r. Stroud, and ihterment made
In the Dedham cemetery. The floral
offerings were many and select. The
hereft husband and relatives have the
deep sympathy of the entire community
in this their sad hour of life.

Spencer Pleads Guilty

Last week the Or Jekyll and Mr..
| Hyde" of Audubon admitted through
the columns of his newspaper that the
recent charges made against him for
collecting money in open violation of
the state law while Mayor of the town,
was correct.
| He seeks TO excuse himself for the
offense by saying he was urged under
great pressure by the best citizens yof
the town to accept the office of Mayor,
that he accepted the office at "a great
sacrifice to himself Such a fiimsy
story cannot be accepted in the face Of
the fact that at meeting of the city
council few years ago, that body re-
fused to allow his bills and informed
him that the action would be contrary
to law. He is then reported to have
said: Il will resign as Mayor, for the
city printing is of more value to me
than the $50 salary.
So il was matter of dollars and
cents to him instead of his loyalty and
love for the community that he con-
sented to serve? He wanted both the
mayorship and the city printing re-
CARELESS of the law. In an opinion
given by judge OF the supreme court
in a similar case he pertinently said:
"The compensation is fixed by Code,
and II Is exclusive of any other. Ii
cannot be increased either by direct
payment or indirectly through the
medium of profits on sales of goods.
II any officer feels that he Is not
properly compensated for the SER
vices required of him, there Is no
law to prevent him from resiguing."
The ex.mayor has the unmitigated
gall to ask: What of it?" Harry Thaw
shot and killed Stanford White, thereby
violating law. What of itY" The
better citizens of the town" must be
mighty proud of the man who will ask
that question when he has openly and
knowingly violated a state law Just as
much as Harry Thaw violated the law
in his own case. 1t is not joking mat
ter. Instead it is an offense that lead
ing attorneys say is indictable by the
grand jury, and is punishable by fine
and imprisonment under the statutes
of Iowa. Spencer may be able TO make
himself believe that it was CLEARLY
technical violation, just as Thaw tried
to make himself believe that his killing
OF White was clearly brainstorm.'
What OF itg" What can the youth of
the community think of man who as
chief executive of Audubon enforced
the law rigidly on others and when
himself guilty of an open violation of
the law enquiries: What of it?"
Spencer again says, that he gave value
received for the amount of money col
lected. We grant that such is the
case. He may be honest in rendering
his bills and he may be equally as honest
in violating law that ne knew to be
on tie statue books. 1t is interesting

in affirming case appealed to the

Returns From Goods Buying Trip

Mrs. Flo Freeman returned to Audu-
bon Friday after ten days goods buy
ing trip to Chicago. While at the
wholesale houses she purchased a most
magnificent line of new materials for
fall. She was able to secure something
extraordinary for the millinery depart
ment at the Wilson q Freeman store,
and that store has now on display some
of the very latest creations in fallmilli-
merry. The ladies of this vicinity will
be able to purchase the same styles
right here in Audubon at less figure
than they could get the same in the
large cities. The prices are such that
all can have the fastest patterns at a
very reasonable figure Miss Turner is
again employed in the millinery de-
partment. Her services in the past
have been very acceptable. and thisfall
the patrons of the Wilson Il Freeman
store will be given the same courteous
treatment.
