DEMOCRATS ALERT.

Congressman Peters Arouses Republi-
cans to Activity.
Congressman John A. Peters, one of the
speakers at the banquet given to Col.
Frederic H. Parkhurst in Bangor recently,
said:
The democratic party, through its ma
tional leaders, is preparing for the greatest
ssdrive" in Maine next fall that political
history will ever record. An evidence Of
this is shown by The appointment OF Judge
Ingraham, OF Portland, as assistant secre-
tary OF war-an appointment undoubtedly
inspired by the approaching Maine cleo
ton, and which would have been most
unlikely at any other time, however able
In his own field Judge Ingraham may be-.
These are halcyon days for any demo-
crat in Washington who comes from the
State OF Maine. Witness the honors re-
Gently bestowed upon Senator johnson
and Representative McGilIicuddy-hoDors
to which their short service, admittedly
bright men though they are, would not
have entitled them to under ordinary cir
cumstances. The President himself recog-
nixss the situation that every
thing possibis must be done for Maine,
and 10 acting accordingly.
The democrats, said Mr.. Peters, have NO
hope Of carrying the first, third, or fourth
Maine districts. They do hope to retain
Senator johnson and Representative
McGillicuddy; and il, in addition, they
can elect . governor, the result will be
heralded across the country - . great
democratic victory. Hence, the whole inn
pact of the democratic force in this country
win b directed into Maine next fall;
and hence, therefore, the republicans must
stand shoulder to shoulder, and bs headed
by the strongest candidate available, II
they are to Withstand the onslaught.
