To Civic League
Partisan Division Of Anthem
ocrais Means Liquor Victory

Waterville. Me, April 17.-(SpeciaD.
REV. w. F. Berry, superintendent OF
sthe Civic League Of Maine, during the
representation of his report at the an
snual meeting of the league held Fri
sdaV morning in the First Baptist
schurch, came out in an unquallfled
endorsement of the administration OF
sGoyernor William T. Haines. After
Covering in some detail the work OF
the Civic League, DR.. Berry said:
az am greatly concerned for the
spresent political outlook The real Is
.sue in Maine is not party, but prohi-
sbition and law enforcement. me
democratic party in its platform mas
declared for re-submission and local
option and license in the larger towns
and cities.
"a partisan division of the Anti
Democratic forces will probably mean
Democratic success in September, fol-
lowed by re-submission and possible
license and local option. What in
view of this is the duty of the good
law enforcement and national prohibit
ton? Ought he to ask who wants to
be Governor? What party wants SUI
premacy, or is it his duty to ask
what does the common good of the
people of Maine, the cause of law en-
forcement, demand? Who does the
cause of national and worldwide pro-
ahibition demand in the election next
September
9 TT is prophesled by the saloons
that Mr.. Haines would be defeated in
the next election because of his stand
in removing multiplying sheriffs. Ought
good citizens who believe in prohibit
'tion and law enforcement help fulfil
this prophecy in the coming election?
Or. ought such citizens unite with
other like minded citizens for the re-
election of the man who made such
sheriffs as Stevens, Graham and DIV
er possible. and so prevent re-sub-
mission in Maine?"
Dr. Berry's remarks were all liber-
ally appiauded.
He reported that the present flnan-
eiai standing of the league was but
S1o0 in debt, to that of several hundred

Burned by MiIitants

Great Yarmouth, Eng, April H.
The theatre on the great recreation
pier here was destroyed today by a
fire caused by the explosion of bomb
left under seat by militant Suffra-

The explosion, which occurred at 4
o'clock, awoke the inhabitants of
Great Yarmouth and few moments
later the theater at the end of the
pier burst into flames. 1t was rebuilt
recently at a cost of 100000.
The usual suffrage literature was
found strewn along the pier and on
the beach and it was assumed that
Suffragettes had attended last nights
performance in the theater and when
they left, placed a bomb with slow
fuse attached under one of the seats.

Carefully prepared reports which
have come In from the Republican
state and district chairmen indicate
that Progressives are returning to the
Republican fold in great numbers.
Most of these letters say that while
a great number of former Republic
cans, who were Progressives Temporal
riiy, are announcing their return to
the party, the greater number of re-
turns are unannounced and will be
shown only in the polls taken short
ly before election and. perhaps, not
until election day itself. Not only the
leaders, but the entire rank and file
of the Republican party are apparent
ly inspired by the results in New Jer-
sey. 1t has increased the Republican
fighting spirit all over the country
and promises to show surprising re-
suits in every state"
This bulletin voices the very gen
eral Republican sentiment in Wash

Taft carried only two states in 1912,
those Vermont and Utah, and that
Roosevelt had a considerably larger
popular vote than Taft, the figures Of

before our going to press to give de-
tailed account of this interesting feature
in the holiday program.
AS mentioned in our brief account last
week, the entertainment was well at
tended and although the Principal was
disappointed in several matters in the
program, she expresses herself as well
gratified by the evident appreciation of
the numbers given and the work of the
pupils who were able to be present. The
class of music pupils from Cleveland was
unable to take part in the program as
expected, much to the regret OF their
teacher.
The announcement was made that the
Academy would regularly hold these
entertainments from time to time, OPEN
ing the school for public examination.
The next following dates on which en-
tertainments are to be held are the 23rd

recent convention of the Federation Mt
Orlando. had much of worth to say on
her topic. and as a result 1T is general
feeling in the Club that steps will soon be
taken to enter the Federation.
A report from the members represent
ing the Civic at the recent conference of
Merchants with the club delegates. which
was arranged by President Dewey at the
Board of Trade Rooms. was discussed
1t is believed that the presentation of the
woman's side of the arguments for keep
ing Punta Gorda's trade in Punta Gorda
changes in conditions.
1t was decided to abandon the School
Association, the work heretofore being
considered by that organization will here
after be undertaken by the Civic. This
action was decided upon since 1t became
apparent that the same women formed
both organizations and could be saved by
the Civic including the school matters in
its program.
report on the sales of the bead chains,
which the club have in hand, was made.
Mrs Meadow secured some very lovely
details and useful information concern
ing bead and chain work when in New
York, and has some ideas to work out
that ought to make the Punta Gcrda
chains famous when once seen.-PRES.
