Mr.. Peters and the Tariff Bill.

Perhaps you. kind reader, have at
tended rally this year, where the
speaker has declared that Hon. John
"A. Peters did not vote against the
Underwood tariff bill. We are re-
liably informed that such statements
have been made to belittle Mr.. Peters
in the eyes of his friends and admir-
ers. We hear that it has worked and
that men have been disappointed
when told that in public
We are told that one speaker in
particular. has used that argument to
discredit Mr.. Peters record; that be-
fore once audience he asked IL there
were man in the house who had
voted for Mr.. Peters. man arose
and said that he had voted for Peters
The speaker is said to have asked him
If he knew that Mr.. Peters did not
vote against the Underwood tariff bill
when it was before Congress. The
reply was that the voter did not know
it. and the gentleman was manifestly
discounted when assured by the
speaker that such was the truth.
This Progressive orator on the
stump was correct in his declaration.
Mr.. Peters did not vote against the
Underwood bill nor was he even
paired against it. The reason is SIM
ple--the Underwood bill was passed
before Mr.. Peters became a member
of Congress.
But what do you think of a public
speaker or writer who will adopt such
Pethods to discredit an opponent?

A Call to Duty.

The political battle just closing in
Maine Is one worthy of the best heart
and brains of the people. From a
national standpoint the question at
stake is whether the State of Maine
shall endorse the present administra-
ton at Washington or shall send a
message to the Nation that the citi-
zenship of this commonwealth serves
warning that 1t and the nation at
large by a great majority, do not want
any tinkering with the tariff or with
business; that we want safe and sane
legislation to rule again at Washing
ton.
The Republicans of Maine are con-
fdent, this morning. They know that
a vast majority of the people of
Maine and of the nation do not be-
Heve in the Wilson administration.
They know that the Democrats have
shown an incapacity to manage the
affairs of the nation. They know
that the Democratic tariff closed the
mills throwing from one to two mil
lions of workers out of EMPLOYMENT:
that just now a great European war
is opening the mills. And back of all
this we realize that the great political
question is whether a majority of the
people will SO vote as to make effec-
tive their ballots.
The only doubt in Maine, or else
where in the North. is whether there
will be enough persons still cIinging
to an old grievance (Which in every
sense was and is largely personal. and
is entirely personal at presently so
vote that they will nullify the real
desire of the State today and of the
Nation in November-in a word.
whether the Progressive voter of 1912
is patriotic or prejudiced Upon this
depends the vital outcome of today's
balloting. If We are to restore the
Nation to sanity and solvency 1t must
come through the Republican party.
That party is the one agency in the
Nation that has the constructive abil-
ity to restore prosperity The Re-
publican party is the one means of
routing the forces of incompetency.
The Republican party appeals to
those opposed to Democratic rule with
its bankruptcy of National welfare, to
Join 1t in the battle for right economic
and political legislation.
Common welfare does not ask how
or for whom you voted in 1912. That
is past history. We are facing the
future; we are looking forward not
backward. The Republican who
temporarily left the ranks two wears
ago, for causes which he though suf-
hcient, may or may not have been
mistaken, but the people say to him
today that those causes whether wise
or unwise no longer exist.
The duty Of the hour requires
union of patriotic citizens for a ma
triotic duty. 1t is no time to dwell
in anger or pique; personal ambi-
tions and quarrels should give away
to the larger duty to the Nation. This
campaign is on a broad gagged track.
II liz time for all patriots to unite for
harmony. TO present a united front to
the common enemy.
National patriotism and good horse
sense demand this from all those citi-
zens who oppose Democratic rule

ache" is said to be due to the retention OF
urea in the system. Often Ii is stated that
a poor condition of the blood is a cause of
these headaches, or that 1t Is q nervous
condition; and in certain cases, no doubt
this is true.
Where treatment is demanded, 1T is more
for the pain than anything else, and DR..
A. F. Schellschmtdt of louisville. has
found Anti-kamnia Tablets to give prompt
and satisfactory relief. Rest should be
insisted upon" he says, and the patient
should go to bed, darken the room, and all
the attendants and family should be as
quiet as possible. An emetic Will some
times shorten the attack. The bowels should
be kept open with 'Actoids"; hot bath and
a thorough rundown with q coarse towel,
often give grateful relief. Two Anti-kamnia
Tablets when the first signs appear, will
usually prevent the attack. During an at
tack, one tablet every hour or two will
shorten the attack and relieve the usual
nausea and vomiting These tablets may
be obtained at all druggists. Ask for A K
Tablets. They are also unexcelled for ner-
vous headaches, neuralgia and all pains.
