He broke of, and there was a blank
of silence, In which he turned with
almost a sigh. Then Katharine saw
him reach the bench with q single

The campaign for the election OF

swing. Attention Is to be paid at first
TO Maine, where the election is to be
held In September. There is one Dem
ocrat In congress from Maine. 1t Is
reported that the Democratic con-
gressional committee does not hope to
gain any additional districts, and that

The Republican campaign commit
Zee is enthusiastic and aggressive,

tive OF attack and defense.
When voters ask Democratic speak
ers whether a platform plank is an

When farmers ask Democratic
speakers about the rapidly increasing
imports OF foodstuffs. amounting at

When merchants ask Democratic
speakers why the Democratic party
enacts a law creating commission to
spy out the private business of every
arm in the country. on the presump-
ton that they are lawbreakers. what
will the spellbinders say?
When idle laborers ask Democratic
speakers to furnish them work, will 1t
be furnished. or will the laborers get
an explanation of the reason why fac

II the Democratic spellbinders can
convince the farmers that free farm
