The Secretary of State and Mrs. Bryan
yesterday afternoon inaugurated the
short series of brilliant entertainments
planned in honor Of the Homecoming
of the Secretary Of the Treasury and his
bride. .-,
That the bride is the daughter Of the
President and the wedding just month
in the past made the occasion all the
more interesting. There were few re-
srets to the eight hundred or more In
vitations to a garden party that In point
of attraction and interest has been equal
ed only at the White House.
The entire southwest corner Of the ex-
tensive garden of Calumet Place was for
the afternoon screened by canvas, over
which grew rambler roses and honey
suckle, while as a special background for
the hosts and the guests Of honor was
arranged a large screen of crimson roses
and white llacs.
The seclusion of this outdoor reception
room was heightened by a giant box tree
which cut of the view of the approach
ing guests until almost in the presence
of the hosts. Here for nearly three hours
Mr. and Mrs. McAdoo received the good
wishes of hundreds Of friends. The Sec
retary of State received with Mrs. Bryan,
and was apparently in the happiest Of
moods Mrs. Bryan wore a demi-toilet
of mauye chiffon and did not wear hat.
trousseau gowns, a satin and tulle demi-
toilet in her favorite blue, with a real
garden party hat of lace roses. Mr.. Nc
Adoo following the example Of his dis
tinsuished father-in-law, Is dressing for
warm weather. He looked much ycurccT
than his accredited years, in VII
ftting suit of white duck with Norfolk
Jacket. He wore a long soft scarf, the
exact shade of his brides blue gown.
The Marine Band played throughout
the afternoon, being stationed close to
the house, midway between the receiving
party and the long pergola In the north
east corner Of the garden. where was
laid one Of the best-appointed tea tables
in the history of Washington garden par
ties. There were also small tables at
different points from which refreshments
were served.
The vice President and Mrs. Marshall
were among the guests who came early
and STAYED late. This was the request
of the hostess to Mrs. Marshall ana the
ladies of the Cabinet. all of whom con-
tributed greatly to the pleasure OF the
afternoon. Other apparent assistants
were Mrs. Osborne. Mrs. Lansing. ana
Mrs. John Skelton Williams.
The President. accompanied by mrs.
Francis B. Sayre, and little Miss Sallie
McAdoo, came late in the afternoon. The
President wore the smart white hannels
introduced at the White House party OF q
week ago, and appeared much rested BY
his short water trip. Mrs. sayre. looking
very well, wore q dull pink one-piece
gown with large leghorn hat.
Other particularly distinguished guests
were the French Ambassador and Nine
Jusserand, Nine. Riano. wife Of the
Spanish Ambassador: the Swiss Minister,
the Peruvian Minister and Nine Pezet

It can be authoritatively stated that,
Notwithstanding the alarming increase
in the price of drugs on account of the
European war, that old reliable medi-
cine. DR.. True's Elixir, will not be in
creased in price.
Perhaps nowhere has the scourge of
the war been more keenly felt in this
country than on drug prices. This is a
natural consequence since many of the
drugs used in making medicines are
imported and since the first of Au-
gust these importations have totally
stopped Prices quickly advanced.
Some have been doubled, others have
risen five hundred, eight hundred and
even a thousand per cent. In a list of
ten common drugs, all largely used in
compounding medicines, the prices
have advanced on an average of over
500 per cent.

True's elixir, has been hard hit. 1t is a
fact that nearly every ingredient used

but they have determined that on no
account will the Elixir be advanced
in price. This will be welcome news

sold by dealers generally at the same

WILL APLURALITY VOTE ELECT THE
STATE OFFICERS FOR next Z YEARS

Is 1t necessary that candidates for
Executive Councillor, attorney gener-
al, secretary of State, commissioner
Of agriculture and State treasurer re-
ceive a majority of the votes cast in
joint convention Of the Legislature
in order to be elected? The Constitu-
ton of Maine has no such provision
and after the Constitution is out of
the way the Legislature can do al
most anything. What is to prevent
the Democratic plurality in the joint
convention from offering its candidates
and having them declared elected IL
they receive 81 votes each, as against
81 for the Republicans and four for
the Progressives?
This question has been raised and
no one around the State House has
yet been found who can point to a
single line of type to uphold the gen.
eral idea that the officers mentioned
must have a majority of all the votes
cast in order to be elected. There may
be some court decision or it may have
been the custom so long that it has the
force of law but the Constitution APP
parently contains no bar to election
by the party having a plurality
What the Prosressives Want
Various reports of the big Democrat
ice conference have been given out by
friendly and unfriendly newspaper
correspondents, but no authoritative
statement has been issued by anyone
as yet. All that anyone had to base
his report on was the rumors which
filed the air that day <and have con-
tinued to fill the air ever since.
The rumor that has to do with the
alleged demands made upon the DEM
ocrats by the Progressives as the
price Of their votes, is that the Pro-
gressives want to name the secretary
of State and the attorney general and
be given assurance by Governor elect
Curtis that he will recognize the Pro-
gressive party as the minority party
in appointing to the numerous boards
and commissions where the law re-
quires that minority party be recog-
nized.
II such q trade were carried through
the four Progressives in the Legisla-
ture would surely be in clover. They
would name men for two of the best
Offices in the State and would be sure
of them. Then they would have the
pleasure of being themselves, or seeing
their friends appointed to remunera-
two and honorable offices during the
next two years. incidentally some OF
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-10-26

these offices carry considerable power
with them.
1t is understood that the offer has
been made Through various channels
80 that nobody's fingers will be burn
ed) that the four Progressives will
vote with the Democrats for all State
Offices to be elected by the conven-
ticn, If they can have the reward de-
scribed That is what will satisfy
them 1t satisfies some Democrats and
don't satisfy others. To accept this
offer means that Hon. W. r. Pattan-
gall, who was entitled to a second
term as attorney general, according
to party usage. would have no chance
to recuperate from the substantial ex-
penditure of time and money that ne
has put into two campaigns for Con-
gress. 1t also means that Hon. Elmer
E. Newbert of Augusta, most promi
nent candidate for State treasurer,
would have to content himself with
running Augusta and his real estate
business, for the man slated for Sec
rotary Of State by the Democrats
would be shifted into the race for the
treasurership. The theory behind all
this IL that Kennebec county has had
so much in previous years and did so
little for the Democratic candidate in
the campaign that it can be sacrificed
best Of all.
Another Trade Reported
There Is another trade reported. 1t is
that the Progressives be given the priv
ilege of naming the State treasurer, Sec
rotary of State, commissioner of agricul-
ture and attorney general, and that they
in return help the Democrats elect an
executive council. This would bring woe
to the hearts of several active candidates
for these Jobs, but Goyernor-elect Oakley
C. Curtis of Portland is boss and what
ever meets with his approval goes"
whether the other Democrats in the State
like it or not He wants council of the
same political persuasion as himself and
intends to get 1t.
That "Conference"
No one who was not in attendance upon
the conference of Democratic candidates
for Office members-elect of the Legisla-
ture, friends, neighbors and hangers-on.
knows just what took place. Some of
those who did attend are wondering just
what happened. They know that they
came to Augusta and got all famed up
shaking bonds with candidates for office
who wanted to make a good impression.
