Wilsonian in all their policies.
The Republicans will be completely graft

local Maine issues have played very little
part in the campaign. For the most part

President Wilson was assailed for alleged
changes of mind" on preparedness, child
labor. woman suffrage and Mexico.
Democracy's spellbinders adopted the
slogan, Peace with honor and prosperity -

heavy fire for his alleged unfrlendliness to
labor.
Local orators for the Republicans laid
considerable stress on what they said was

POLL PERRITT IS
THE COVELESKIE
OF 1916 SEASON
Lanky Right-Hander Rose
in His Might and Struck
Phils Telling Blow

For eight years John James McGraw has
viewed the Phillies with the same kindly
expression worn by cannihal hungry for
missionary Ia carte II was in 1908 that
the osseous Merkle avoided second In a
memorable encounter between the Giants
ana Mr. Frank Chances troupe Of champion
Cubs. The result OF this ivory-tinted neg
hgence was TO throw baseballdom into con.
yulsions and New York into tie with the
Chicago team at the close of the season
me play-on resulted in sending the Cubs
into the worlds series and the Giants into
lugubrious finale 10 their seasons work
But-and here comes the role of McGraw
as the villain in the melodrama, who has
oeen nursing his wrath to keep IL warm
ana pining and thirsting for r-r.r-revenge.
About Coveleskie
The Phillies owned young southpaw
at that time, Coveleskie of name. This
young man had been a minor. and he owned
soupbone that was strategicaliy con-
structed for crimping immigrants from Man
haitian. Covie pitched against the Giants
three times in five days beat them In all
the contests and pitched McGraw's men out
OF the bright burgee. Up to that time Covie
had performed in no such notable manner
and after II was over the young David
went to the minors. He may be readily
recognized now as the stellar twirler of
the Detroit Tigers, with something like
twenty -one victories and nine defeats tabled
u MS record.
Coveleskie's triumphs were as gall and
wormwood to the Napoleon OF Coogan's
Blum. lie vowed vengeance on the Phils
but because Of the habit that the Quakers
had OF lingering about sixth and seventh
place John James never had chance to
apply the harpoon. Now the Phls have
their head and are battling for the flag
They crushed Brooklyn under ruthless heels
and stamped the supne frame of the
Braves.
Another Richmond
But New York has been a dolefuI stay
for the Phlls. Not only have the Giants
clambered upon us three straight games.
but another Coveleskie has arisen to give
McGraw an outlet for his pent-up ven-
geance and the Philles a sickenlng pain
stage OF fame is Poll Perritt He won a
double-header Saturday a feat which has
not been duplicated since the days of Joe
McGinnty putting a terrific aperture in
pennant honors. Now, Perritt says he Is
going right back at the Moranmen today,
and should he win and Brooklyn trim Stall
ings' Slippers, there would be cerise
trimmings to our outlook for the champion
ship pennant
Those chortles of glee that are hurting
this way are not the smiles or Happy Chick
Evans. They are the guffaws OF McGraw,
as he figures that Perritt may perform a
Coveleske, and his revenge will be COM
plete.

that his opponent could not possibly get
out on his next shot.
But Dyer. by a wonder pitch, dropped
the ball within twelve feet of the cup. You

kid, In place Of being disconcerted, never
even waited until the applause had died
away. Without an instants delay he
stepped up to his ball, hit IL firmly and

on the woman suffrage question, and
criticism of Charles f. Hughes's dccla-

Miss Gordon said:
mfr. Wilson's reaftlrmation of his
belief in woman suffrage, but leaving
to the States the right TO define their
electorate. will appeal to every candid
mind as the action OF a statesman i'm
contradiction to Mr.. Hughes as a poll
tcian in his advocacy of Federal
amendment.

gress may send the amendment to it's

men voters will not be caught when

amendment as Short cut to woman
suffrage"
