Oakland, Me, Aug. 19.-tSpeeiaD. -
The second boom of the cannon in the
Grd District Republican campaign was
held in Oakland, Tuesday evening, and
a loud one it was, too. Pretty little Me-
mortal hall was well filed with men
and women who came to hear Former
Governor VIM. r. Cobb and Hon. John
\. Peters tell in their own, plain, good
way what the Republican party stands
for, today. and why it should receive
the hearty, sincere and earnest sup
port of every loyal American.
There were but five vacant seats in
the auditorium when Col. a. w. Dyer
of Oakland opened the meeting with
a few appropriate remarks, indroduc-
ing Former Governor Cobb.
The former Executive, who is so well
known to every citizen of Maine. was
greeted with warm welcome. He spoke
chiefly along the lines of what former
Republican statesmen had done and he
was candid in admitting that mistakes
had been made and that there might

Washington, Aug. l9.-Democratlc men,

tomorrow night, to discuss the situation
which has arisen through the appoint

the late Senator Johnston of Alabama.
Friends of Mr.. Clayton, who upheld

authority from the Legislature have ask

been made for caucus, tonight. but, late
today. those interested asked that 1t be

1t was believed, today, that Mr.. Clay

A Washington Chapter for Maine Voters to Read
Carefully and Consider Before Voting.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 19.-(Spee-
iaD.-A stirring up of interest has oc-
CURED here within the last few days
over the campaign for electing Con-
gresham in the Third Maine dis
trict. The coming of ex-Gov. F. w.
Plaisted resulted in many interviews
with prominent Democrats, who were
besought to travel into the Kennebee
valley and help the Democratic party
out of its predicament. 1t begins to
look as though the tariff bill will not
have been voted upon in the Senate
by the day the late Representative
Goodwin's successor is elected. The
Democrats are aware it would be al
awful black eye for them if the his
toric Third should give them a re-
verse at such juncture. Washing
ton knows well that Republicans are
forcing the issue in the Thurd dis
trict on tariff. 1t is also we'll under
stood that Republican victory on
September s would be interpreted as
rebuke to the tariff bill. which has
been framed with such particular dis
regard for Maine people
The Senate Democrats are having
all the trouble with tariff that they
can stand any way Death and de-
lection have reduced their always
narrow majority well down to the
vanishing point. A hard. stern re-
buke from the voters of the Third
district might even encourage some
wavering Democratic Senator (there
are two or three of them) to with
hold his support from the bill and
might easily lead to great Democrat
ic embarrassment.
1t will make next to no difference.
as far as general conditions in the
House of Representative are con-
cerned, whether w. r. Pattangall is

stay at home. The Democratic major

a Democratic vote more there is Of
little consequence. It is the moral in
fluence upon the country and upon the
administration that will count.
Therefore it is that the Democrats
of the Third district have been di-
recting appeals to high men in SEN
ate and House to come up and help
them. The situation has been can
yassed very thoroughly. a Connect
cut Democrat was found to go to the
White House offices and ask President
Wilson if he would not please write
letter to Mr.. Pattangall, expressing
his interest in the latter's campaign
and President Wilson did. Just why
some of the Maine Democrats did not
go and ask him themselves is not
clearly understood but they went
around the next day and expressed
their gratitude. Homer S. Cummings
of Connecticut, member of the Ma
tional Committee, who made the re-
quest of the President, had been down
to Washington talking things ovet.
and there had been some conferences
among members of the Democratic
national committee here about the Sc
rious situation in the Third Maine
district and the necessity of doing
something to help along if it could
possibly be done. So it is that "Patt''

Mrs. Hanan Gives

Believing that nothing will be heard
from her stolen jewels for many
months at least, Mrs. John Fl. Hanan
prepared. today. to close "Shore
Acres her summer home and go to
Europe. While she still hopes for the
return of the jewelry, estimated to be
worth s150.000, she shares the belief OF
the head of the detective agency, who
has the case. that it will probably be
more than year before trace OF
them can be found.
1t is the detectives theory that the
thief will not attempt to pawn he val
uables until interest in the mysterious
robbery has subsidized. Mrs. Hanan
will accompany her husband, whom
physicians have advised to go abroad
for his health. They will sail from
New York, on Saturday.

Academy Moisture viii cause trouble.
If the batteries are located in box On

purpose than 10 make them win the 800

the National from being broken-rumors
which are strengthened i'm their effect by
the fact that Aitken is a National en-
ploye and that the Peugeot team did fail
in the attempt-both Goux and Zucarrelli.
the drivers OF the foreign outfit, and Ait
ken say that this is absurd. inasmuch IS
the French car went as fast as IL could
all the way.
To make better time was impossible, for
the simple reason that neither the tires
nor the driver could have stood the
strain, az was clearly shown both by the
manner in which the Peugeot shed cas-
ings and fatigue overmanned Goux. He
had to drink bottle after bottle of cham
payne to keep going during the early
period OF the race. Charles Faroux. con-
sulting engineer OF the Peugeot, says his
car did its best
The Peugeot cars were worked on at
the National factories. This company,
through its general manager. George VI.
Dickson. offered to help any or all OF the
race entrants. Eight teams accepted the
Nationals assistance. a tribute to the true
craftsmanship OF the National crowd.
The Nationals record Of 1872 miles an
hour, made last year. was not broken by
Goux. whose average was 1872.
Not content with helping 20 win the
5G0-mile race for the Peugeot drivers,
Aiken now purposes TO journey to France
TO try 10 capture the Grand Prix for them
also. His trip will be made at the urgent
invitation OF both Goux and Zucarreln

any other man, how much Aitken really
did for them. At present Johnny. there
