News from Somerset county, where
Congressman Peters put in tn e
greater part of last week, indicate
that his vote will be materially in
creased over last year. Some of the
most prominent Lawrence men of a
year ago are now working for the re-
publican ticket. In Skowhegau a
prominent Lawrence man of last
September has become so interested
in the success of the republicans that
he is busy each day talking with his
farmer friends. An interesting
feature of the present campaign is
that a large number of the French
Americans are going to vote the re-
publican ticket this fall. They tell
this to their friends, and give as their
reasons that the tariff has affected
business so in Skowhegan that they
are done voting the democratic ticket.

One of the greatest obstacles to the
enforcement of the short lobster law
has been the fact that while the
Maine law places the limit at ten and
one half inches, the Massachusetts law
allows the sale Of Holsters nine and
one-half inches long. Massachusetts,
will not change its law to correspond
with the Maine law, so it is probable
that determined effort will be made
in the next legislature to reduce the
legal length of Holsters in Maine to
nine and one-half inches.

Great Britain, France and Russia

emergency shipping bill that would
have admitted foreign ships to compe-
tition with our own ships in the coast
wise trade. But whom did Senator
johnson stand with in this fight? He
voted with the republicans and not
with the southern democrats, and for
repudiating his own party to this ex-
tent he is to be commended.
1t would be just as consistent now,
because few democrats voted with
the republicans, to give credit for
saving our coastwise trade to the
democrats, as to lay the defeat OF pre-
vious republican legislation for the
upbuilding of our merchant marine to
the republicans because few repub-
licans voted with the democrats.

The democrats never forget to play
politics. An order demanding the re-
turn of the northern congressman,
now that the southern congressmen's
primaries are concluded, is an illustra-
ton of the kind of politics they play.
In the South the democratic nomi-
nation is equivalent to an election, so
that southern congressman only have
to consider that phase of their cam
paign.-Portldnd Express.

Prepare Your Case

In one OF the rural school districts
of prosperous state meeting OF
citizens was recently called to con-
slider raising the teachers pay.
Teacher had been getting the mum.
ficent salary OF S35 q month for a
seven-months' term. Some OF the
folks thought that Il was worth more
than this TO have the 80 children of
the neighborhood carefully and sym
pathetically trained. The school. d.
rectors agreed to obey the will Of The
majority.
When the meeting came to order it
soon appeared that the opposition to
better paid teaching came from two
well-to-do farmers, who argued that
taxes were already high enough.
Ordinarily such q plea would have
gained good deal Of support among
citizens hard pressed by the struggle
to live.
This time It was met by a quick.
witted chap who figured to decimal
how much the proposed Increase
would raise the two wealthy farmers
tax bills-a matter of very few
cents.
III these gentlemen are the only
ones who feel that $35 month Is all
they can AFFORD to pay for q compe-
tent teacher, will gladly be one Of
20 persons" he said, ito pay q penny
extra and thus lift the awful burden
from their embarrassed shoulders"
A smile encircled the meeting; the
two remonstrants looked foolish, the

vote-and carried unanimously.
You can win a good cause before
almost any honest jury II you take
brains and pains to prepare your
case.

Life Guards.

The Life Guards are two regiments
of cavalry forming part of the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart
is proud of them. Not only the Kings
household, but yours, ours, every
body's should have its life guards.
The need of them is especially great
when the greatest foes of life diseases,
find allies in the very elements of
colds, influenza, catarrh, the grip, and
pneumonia do in the stormy month of
March. The best way that we know
of to guard against these diseases is to
strengthen the system with Hoods
Sarsaparilla-the greatest of all life
guards. 1t removes the conditions in
which these diseases make their most
successful attack. gives vigor and tone
to all the vital organs and functions.
and imparts a genial warmth to the
blood. Remember the weaker the sys-
tenn the greater the exposure to dis
ease. Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the
system strong.-Ady.

ATTACK THEORY
OF THE STATE
Time of Murder of Mary
Phagan, an Atlanta, Ga,
Factory Girl, for Which
Leo M. Frank Is Under
Death S e n t e n C e, May
Cause New Trial

Atlanta, Ga, March 13.--An afidavit
further attacking the theory of the state
as to the time and place Mary Phagan
was killed was made public here today
by counsel for Leo NJ. Frank of Brook
Ign. n. Y, under deathe sentence for the
factory girls murder
Mrs j. B. Simmons, the afiant, alleges
that she heard a woman screanI in the
National pencil factory between and Z
o'clock on the afternoon of April Is. 1919
two hours later than the time the state
contends the murder occurred The aft
davit further declares that the scream
came from the factory basement, not
from the third floor of the building. where
the state charged that Mary Phagan was
killed.
Mrs Simmons alleges that she reported
the incident to local authorities more
than two weeks before the indictment of
Frank, but that she was not subpoenaed
to appear either before the grand jury or
at the trial.
At the trial of Frank the state sought
to establish that Mary Phagan was killed
on the third floor of the factory near
the office of the accused superintendent
few minutes past noon.
The affidavit of Mrs. Simmons, 1t Is ex-
pected, will be included in the extraor-
binary motion for new trial. April Il
is the date for the prisoners execution.

1t has been definitely decided that
the yacht Irolita. owned by Mr.. Clarke
and in command of Captain Snow. will
leave City Island for Bath on April
%, bringing along the picked crew OF
the sloop. The motor boat Zfpalong
also owned by Mr.. Clarke, will accom-
pany the Irolita as an auxiliary. Com
ing at this early date, the crew will
have an excellent opportunity for
studying the lines of the new craft be-
fore launching. They also will see the
entire rigging. 1t is probable that the
mast will be stepped immediately after
the launching, on the same tide if pos
sible. A special train for Boston will
bring dozen members of the syn

watch the launching. A large contin-
gent from the Boston Yacht Club, OF
which Designer George Owen is q
member, also will come to Bath at that
time.
