Republican congressman at Washing

Eversman of the National Republican
Congressional Committee have begun a
vigorous campaign to wrest control OF
the House of Representatives from the
free traders. Maine will send solid
panub,ican delegation to the lower
branch in 1914 and in 1916 will help repu-
date the present administration by elect
ing a Republican President.

saving the taxpayers OF Maine some
money by making the banks pay for the

THE chairman then introduced Gen.

royalty received as he rose to speak.
The old battle Scared hero is used to

We didn't know that Newton New
kirk was down in Thorndike, and,
therefore believe the following dis
patch from that town to be reliable:
There's a farmers telephone line
which strings together five or six
miles of farms down the valley of the
Passagassawaukeg river. On single
line there are II telephones. Natur-
ally the line is continually in use, but
so accustomed have the subscribers
become to having others on the line at
the same time that two couples can
converse at the same time without a
bit of trouble.
Last week feat that is believed to
be record in telephone achievement
without any prearranged plan was
accomplished on this line, when six
people carried on a perfectly intelligi-
BILE and satisfactory conversation at
the same time.

to be there.
GETTING right down to the foun-
dation-it all depends on the
pitchers. This years team IS 60
ing to be Just the sort Of a defen-
sive aggregation in fielding that Bill
Smith likes. The infleld will be
tight as new shoes and the outfield
as nearly hit-proof as an outfield
becomes. All Bill Smith needs in
the way of hitters is a couple of
dependable men. He seems to have
sluggers in Harry Bailey and Wally
Smith. and, of course, Whitley AL
perman is a reliable whacker.
The catching stan is altogether
after Smiths own heart-brainy
and experienced.
It's all up to the pitchers. If Bill
Smith ever made a big showing
without superlatively good pitchers
nobody remembers when it was.
If the Cracker hurting staff this
year measures well above the aver
age-look out for a good fight for
the rag.
But will it?
Bill thinks 1t will.
The fans think so.
And, personally, we are rather of
