OF course, the red white and blue predominates

produced in cardboard and paper with such real
istic effect that the candy counters in the large
department stores seem to have changed their
usual stock for a supply Of fireworks.
There are most natural looking packages Of
frecrackers with the usual Chinese paper covers
and glaring red posters. The contents are red
candy sticks for all the world like the real fire
cracker. There are candy boxes in the form Of
Roman candles, pinwheels, large cannon crackers

occasion. Grape paper Is used for greater va

pretty and fanciful little devices are on hand,
mostly in red, white and blue.
Red paper forts hold up warlike little cannons
keeping guard over the supply Of candy stored

LEGISLATIVE
APPROPRIATIONS.


One Of the main arguments that
The Republicans and PrOgressiyes
are using in the present campaign
is that the Democrats controlled
the 1918 legislature and apprOpri-
ated more money than the 1911
legislature. They claim that a
violation of the Democratic par
tvs pledge to reduce the expen-
ditures of the state. A glance at
the figures for these two years
will show the faIlacy of this argu-
ment.
The legislature of 1918 appro-
prialed SS,SS6,135.H and in 1911
they appropriated SS,S75,SS4.O1.
The bald statement then, that the
1913 appropriations exceeded the
1911 ones is correct, but it has to
be qualified to state the true facts.
There were four reasons why
the 1913 legislature had to make a
larger appropriation: First, to
take care of the deficiencies left
by the 1911 legislature; second, to
complete buildings begun by the
19ll legislature; third, to replace
the buildings destroyed by fire
since the adjournment of the 1911
legislature; and, fourth, to take
care of the new projects demanded
by progressive and growing
commonwealth.
The 1913 legislature had to
make a deficiency appropriation
of S115,818.41 and a deficiency
building appropriation of $780,
800. This makes a total of $318,-
318.41, which should have been
appropriated by the 1911 legisla-
ture, that had to be taken care, of
, by the 1918 legislature. If this
amount were added to the 1911
appropriation, as it should be, the
total would be: appropriations,
1911, $S,6S4,2O2,42, and 1918, 49,
517,816.76.
These are the figures as they
are on file at the StatehOuSe, and
It does not take a mathematician
to see why the 1913 appropriation
exceeded the 1911 one.
In addition to this, the 1913 leg
iSlature appropriated $4,000 for
fire losses and $631,O21,29 more
than its predecessor for education
al purposes; but it reduced the ap-
preparations in all other depart
mentS of the state government.
The contention of the oppoSi-
zion is based on figures and the
figures themselves show that what
seems to be a strong argument is
in fact no argument at all, but ar

Did YOU Rear from Maine?

DIO you near lIOiil mdh1cI
One of our earliest political re-
collections is that Maine went
hell bent for Governor Kent" and
that as goes Maine SO goes the
Union.
Well. "Maine went" again the
other day.
Two years ago the Republicans
and PrOgresSiveS fused in Maine
on a state ticket just as they did
in Kansas. This year they ran
separate tickets. The Democratic
candidate for governor received
approximately 11,OOO more votes
this year than did Woodrow Will
son two years ago. The Republi-
can-PrOgreSsive fusion candidate
of two years ago was a candidate
for reelection. This time he was
on the Republican ticket alone and
polled $4,000 less votes than he
received two years ago.
Compared with the vote for Taft
and Roosevelt two years ago the
Republicans gained at the expense
OF the PrOgreSsiveS. The combin-
ed vote of the two elements shows
a gain of about 5 per cent over the
combined vote of two years ago,
while the Democratic gain over
the Wilson vote was % per cent.
Ii Maine is an index of the SEN
timent of the country, then Gov
ernor Hodges and his associates
on the state ticket will not onlv
win easily but their total vote will
exceed the totals cast for their op-
ponentS both Republican and Pro-
greSSive.
The Maine election shows that
the people Of that rock-ribbed Re-
publican state approve of Wood
row Wilson and his policies. They
endorse the tariff legislation, the
currency legislation, the antitrust
legislation, and the watchful wait
ing Mexican policy.
AS goes Maine so goes the
Union." and Kansas will be there
in November with her endorse
ment good and strong.
