SHORTAGE OF PAPER
MATERIAL

Your attention is called to the
fact that there is a serious short
age of raw material for the man
ufacture Of paper including rags
and old papers. The collecting
and saving of Rags and Old Pa
pers would greatly better exist
ing conditions for the American
Paper Manufacturers.
Something like $1,000 tons OF
different kinds of paper and pa
per board are manufactured
every day in the United States
and a large portion of this, after
it has served it's purpose. could
be used over again in some class
of paper A large part of it. how
ever, is either burned or other
wise wasted. This. of course,
has to be replaced by new ma
terials. In the early history Of
the paper industry publicity was
given to the importance of saw
ing rags. 1t is of scarcely less
importance now. The attention
of the public is called to this in
the hope that practical results
may flow from it, A little atten-
tion to the saving of rags and
old papers will mean genuine
relief to our paper industry and
a diminishing drain upon our
sources of supply Of new ma
terials.
An adequate supply of rags and
old paper is of vital Importance
to all branches of the paper in
dustry.
WILL YOU HELP?
Then save your rags and old
paper.

The result in Maine is a democratic

there is nothing to fear for the general
result. We did lose progressives. who
1iocked back to the republican party.
However that is to be expected in n
rock-ribbed republican state like Maine.
In New York and Ohio it viii be different.
In those states the progressive party will
flock in much greater proportion to the
democrats.
Secretary Daniels said that democrats
had not expected to win Maine, and also
declared that the figures showed that
when national issues were in considera-
ton republicans voted with the demo-
Gratis.
This is shown he said, ''by the fact
that Milliken, republican candidate for
governor. got 1900 votes; and the two
republican candidates for senator got
about seven thousand apiece less. This
shows that where local issues were in
the problem the republicans voted solidly.
but that on national matters seven thous-

result, and if the democrats had carried
Maine that would have ended the entire

, A reunited republican party was re-

his satisfaction at the result of the
Maine election. He predicts further dis
appointments in store for the deme
Gratis in November through the fact C
a reunited republican party through
out the nation.
Il Spent twenty-five days in Maine
during the campaign said Mr.. Camp,
conducting organization work for the
National Republican League. and the
results from yesterdays election is no
great surprise. It did not take long for
me to observe on my trip through the
state that there existed reunited re-
publican parry, and that. of course.
meant republican success.
Straight Ticket Vote.
The defeat of Representative McGil-
licuddy and Senator johnson was due.
in my judgment, largely to the success
of the effort of the campaign managers
in getting ont a large republican vote
that voted the ticket straight all the
way through, regardless of friendships
here and there for candidates of the op-
posite party. Much work was done by
the National Republican League in its
Maine campaign to have all members OF
its clubs realize their duty in voting
their ticket straight, a matter of
republican principle and loyalty to their
party's candidates.
II never could understand how the
democrats ever got the idea that they
could carry Maine Any one who was
qualified to make political observd-
tion could easily note that the pro-
gressives were largely united with the
republicans. The progressives did not
hesitate to say where they stood politi-
cally. Yet the democrats had their best
| speaking talent and most expert cam
paign managers in the Pine Tree state.
! with the earnest belief they would be
successful.
Sees Further Disappointment.
There are further dsappointments in
store for the democrats in the many
| other state republican victories that will
come in November through the fact of a
reunited republican party throughout the
nation. No better indication of the po-
litical trend can be had than the show
ing made in the Maine election yester-
day consisting of the individual political
conviction of variety of population, in
cluding the farmer. the lumberman, the
fisherman, the merchantmen. the ship
builder the manufacturer. the mill and
factory hand and the laboring man
The state of Maine has thrived un-
der republican administration and the

Sees Election of Mr. Wilson.

Senator Thomas ] Walsh. manager of
the western democratic campaign head
quarters, gave out the following state
ment today on the Maine election:
THE returns from Maine presage the
election of Woodrow Wilson in Novem-
ber While that state has gone re-
publican by about 1900, it was car
ried by that party by plurality of
approximately $4,000 in 1910; $1,000 in
1908, and the combined republican and
progressive vote in 1912 exceeded the
democratic vote by Approximately
$4,000
another comparison affords still
greater encoura cement TO the triumph
of Wilson. Sills, who has lost in the
race for the senatorship, has 10,2O0
votes more than We're cast for Wilson
in 1912"

Vice President Thomas R. Marshall,

vorable for the democrats.
"If any republicans get any comfort
out of such a small majority as they
got in Maine yesterday, I say well
come" he said. II expected the demo-
Gratis to be beaten. The returns show
that some progressives have gone back
to the republicans, OF course, but 1t
also showed that many had not.

STATES ATTORNEY
To the Voters and Citizens
of LamOille County

AS the Republican Committee of John
son, Vermont, we are pleased to present
the name of w. E. Tracy as a Republican
candidate for the Office of States At
torney.
In presenting the name of Mr.. Tracy,
we do so approaching fully the response
bilty of the office and the duties to be
performed, and it is with equal confidence
that we realize that if Mr.. Tracy is elect
ed, that all duties pertaining to the office
of States Attorney will be strictly
guarded.
We feel that the town of Johnson being
the only other town in the county except
Morrisville which is asking for the office
of States Attorney, that we have right
to presume that the people of IKE county
will respect it's wishes, owing to the fact
that Morrisville and the present incum-
bent of the office has already had this
office for four consecutive terms, eight
years, and that it is only fair when some
other town presents a candidate for this
same office, and one who is qualified in
every respect to perform its duties, that
its wishes should be respected.
We are confident that Mr.. Tracy has
practically the unanimous support of the
voters in Johnson, and that this conf
dence and support by Mr.. Tracy's home
town ought to assure the voters of the
county that they can fully rely on the
faithful performance of all the duties per-
tanning thereto, should the county elect
him to this office.
We therefor ask your support for Mr..
Tracy at the Direct Primary September
18th, 1916.
Dated at Johnson, this 18th day of
August, 1916.
