by going West. he will stay In the

The Develop Maine Movement is
working out these comparisons all Of
the time in an endeavor to show the

SENATOR BORAH, Rep. M0NDELL
And REP. ROGERS Will join IN
THE maine REPUBLICAN CAMP lCN

Men big in the affairs of the nation
will be heard in the State Of Maine
during the present political campaign.
The Republican State committee has
received assurances from some of the
leaders in Congress that they will
come to the Pine Tree State and use
their every effort to help elect the Re-
publican ticket here. In addition to
same of those already mentioned are
Senator Borah, Congressman Mann
and Congressman Rogers. Anyone
who has followed the proceedings OF
the National Legislature knows the
calibre of these statesmen, that they
are among the best known in the
country.
William E. Borah is the senior sena-
tor from Idaho, and stands a most ex-
cellent chance of becoming the Presi-
dent of the United States. He is re-
garded everywhere as one Of the
strongest possibilities in the Republic
can party.
The gentleman from Idaho is the
greatest and broadcast progressive Re
publican in the u. s.. Senate today.
He Is one of the leaders of that body
and one of the master minds. As an
orator, he is regarded as one of the
greatest in Congress today. Maine
voters will have a good chance to
Judge of his abilities in the campaign
for he will speak in many parts of the
State, and is sure to be heard by some
of the biggest audiences that ever
turned out to political rallies.
The rise of Senator Borah in the
councils of the Republican party has
been rapid. Eight years ago, he was
devoting his time almost wholly to the
practice of law. In January, 1907, he
was elected to the u. S. Senate and
since his advent there he has risen to
a Presidential possibility. 1t is men
of the Borah type, real progressives,
who are at the head of the Republican
party today. men who stand for the
welfare of the people and who are con-
stantly looking after the interests of
the great mass Of the public.He be-
lieves, with others. that the Repubi-
can party Is the best instrument for
good government and prosperity there
IS in the country. This is one of the
many facts the great western orator
will impress upon the people of
Maine.
Senator Borah, In addition to being
one of the leaders of the Senate, holds
membership on some of the most i'm
portant committees in that body.
Among these may be mentioned the
committee on foreign relations, the
committee on inter oceanic canals and
the judiciary committee. That he is
closely in touch with the governmental

Second to Mann in House Leadership
Second only to James r. Mann him
self in the leadership of the Republic
can party in the House of Representa-
tives is Frank Wheeler Mondell, con-
pressman- at large from Wyoming. He
is now serving his ninth term as a
representative in the National Legis-
lature and during the many years he
has been in Congress he has naturally
become one of the recognized leaders
of the body. He is a ready debater, an
experienced statesman and brilliant
speaker.
1t has been said that Congressman
Mondell represents more territory than
any other man in Congress for he Is
the only representative from the State
of Wyoming. But even aside from
that fact and the prominent position
he holds as second only to Leader
Mann, there are other things for
which he is noted
Frank w. Mondell is a self made
man. He was born IN st. Louis Nov.
6, 1860, but was left an orphan before
he was six years old. Then he began
to strike out for himself. He attended
the local district schools, engaged in
mercantile pursuits, stock raising, min
ing and railway construction in vari
Gus western states and territories and
then settled in wyoming. He took an
active part in the establishment and
building of the town of Newcastle and
the development of the Cambria mines
He was elected mayor of the place
when it became a city and held the
office for seven years. After filling
other state offices. he was elected to
the 54th Congress, again to the 56th
and has been a member of every Con-
gress since that time. Among the
committees of which he is now a
member is the all-important one on
appropriations.
John Jacob Rogers. congressman
from the fifth or Lowell district Of
Massachusetts,, was elected to the
House of Representatives as a success
scr to Col. Butler Amos. He promises
to fill very worthily the shoes of his
distinguished predecessor. Congress
man Rogers is a young lawyer, one of
the youngest members of the House.
for he was born Aug. IS, 1881. He
graduated from Harvard with the de-
gree of A. B. in 1904 and from the
Harvard Graduate school in 1906 with
the degree of A. NJ. In 1907, he re-
ceived the degree of LIB. from the
Harvard Law school.

recitation by little Dottie Shugg, who is
about 5 years old:
PA bosses Ma and my brothers all boss
But I'll get even with them vet;
For when I grow big. big girl
I'll be an English Suffragette."
AT the close of the verse little Dottie
unfurled Votes for Women pennant
and swung it gracefully above her head,
| then turned and to the music of an in
spring march proceeded to circle around
the large stage AS she passed the first
wing two girls fell in behind-also
bearing Votes for Women" flags held
| high above their heads On the next
round two boys bearing American flags
fell In behind to support their coming
fellow citizens" On the next round a
somewhat larger girl fell in behind bear
ing a Kennebec Journal flag After a
few rounds of the march little Dottie led
her supporters gracefully to the front of
the stage. where they formed a tableau,
which was greeted with storms of ap-
plause
AS little Dottie is very small for her
ago and not only recited her piece but led
all the revolutions of the march without
missing a word or a movement, she was
enthusiastically applauded and encored.
