An election held in the district in
the State of Maine, formerly repre-
sented by James G. Blaine, last Mon
day placed the first emphatic con-
demnation of the American people at
the ballot box upon the present
Democratic administrator tariff
policy. II was a special election held
to fill vacancy, and the administra-
ton sent Secretary Bryan, Speaker
Clark and other heavy weights there
to canvass the district, and the re-
suit was avlarger vote than was cast
at the last presidential election.
The plurality for the Republican can
didate was something like one thous-
and over the Democratic nominee,
while a Progressive candidate unn-
ing on a Protective tariff platform,
received something over six thousand
votes. Thus showing a protective tar
III majority OF over seven thousand.
Had the Democrats succeeded, the
election would have been hailed in
administration circles as an endorse
ment of the present tariff bill. The
news dispatches say that President
Wilson remained up untG after mid
night TO hear the returns Monday
night and that he was keenly disap-
pointed. There are other keen disap-
pointments in store for him when the
American people have an opportunity
to express themselves on his tariff
bill

from being returned.

ChickasGa has at last awakened to
the fact that she has not been repre-
scented in contributing funds for the
erection OF the Oklahoma building at
the Panama Exposition to be held at
San Francisco in 1915. This fact has
been overlooked heretofore by so
many other urgent demands. but the
time has arrived when Chickasha will
take her place with the Oklahoma
boosters and feel proud that she is
numbered with the others in 1915. A
plan is on foot among the educational
people and also other organizations to
cooperate in raising funds for this
purpose.
One of the leaders in educatiopal
work in the city, Mrs. Olin Brashear.
has been in communication with Mrs.
Fred Suitcn, one Of the commissioners
Of the Oklahoma Panama Exposition,
and also leader IN educational and
club work in Oklahoma City and ef-
forts are being made to work out this
worthy enterprise at an early date

ate in making this event a success. as
it will mean much in getting Okla
