Inc Gazetes editorial writer, in assuming that Mondays election
in Name is conclusive OF the result in the nation nex November
shows very little knowledge OF the political history OF Maine.
The state is strongly Republican and always has been. From 1872
to 1912 the ten Republican candidates tor president OF the United States
received in Maine majortes ranging from SSoS to 4557 yer the candi-
dates OF three other parties; the governors from 1890 to 1910 we're Re

Wilson, 5l,ll3; Roosevelt, 4S495; Taft, 2oS45.
What has been a be again, and it is more than possible that Viii
o will lead over Hughes in that stronghold of epubicanism.
Candidate Hughes n his Maine campaign speeches followed his
previous tactics OF o saying a word about state matters in any form
and studousy avoided mention OF any Of the state candidates, although
senatorial and congressional representatives broadly limited their wish
to have him urge their claims upon the voters.
He injected the eght-hour issue into the campaign and Republican
leaders and state candidates spent the last hours before election explain
ing they we're OF i'll sympathy with the views OF their presidential a

There has never been in Washington a more truly representative
congress, says the New York World, than the Sxtytourth, now adj
journed, whether measured by the extent and character OF its labors or
by the manner in which it has responded to the needs and spirit OF the
times. 1t has accomplished more work OF lasting value o the country
than any dozen congresses since the Cvil. war, except its immediate pred
ecessor, the Sixty third.

party since last December.
The Child Labor law and the Federal Workmens Compensation law
are progressive legislation OF the best kind. The Rural Credits law sup

have long needed. The Government Shipping Board is designed to aid

William L. IIugh,on, president of the kEslkar branch in Los Ang-
les had the following to say in a recent interview in the Herald:
In these days of weird and wonderful mental. tests the motor ar
stands ot as a great developer Of intellect.
Il am firmly convinced that driving a motorc ar has a strong tend
cncy to make ones mind more ninlDe, and that it brings about a COrrela-
ton between the mind and the muscles that is equa1ed by very few de
vices Of man and surpassed by none. Driving brings intoa action muscles
which are ordinarily slow and awkward when called upon in cmergen-
cics."
fughson contends that to the average person who is not an eNpr-
fenced driver some of the simplest tricks of driving are exceedingly
mysterious, while the person who is at home behind the wheel does
them a. easily a. he takes a drink of water.

SOMETHING HUGHES MIGHT USE

Rather than play to the prejudiced few, the hyphenates and the
militant sufragsts, how much more decorous, more decent and manly
would it be for Candidate Hughes % express himself as did President
Wilson in his 1etter of acceptance when he said:
Il neither seek the favor O fear the displeasure ofth hat small ele-
ment amongst us which puts loyalty ITO any foreign power betore loyalty
to the United States"
Such sentiment as that quoted would accord more with the dignity
court of the United States than the querulous stuff that Hughes now
confines himself to.
A peculiar thing about this ar is that while some of the beigerents
lever lose a trench, yet they recaptre quite a number-St. Louis Star.

WIRELESS PLANT HERE
TIME WILL BE GOTTEN TWICE
DAILY FROM GOVERNMENT
STATION.

A wireless telegraph plant, which
will be strong enough to exchange
messages with wireless stations on
either the Atlantic or Pacific coast,
will, it is expected, be in operation in
Madison by next Friday.
The wireless apparatus is being in
stalled by z. F. Sears, the jeweler,
on top of the building on Egan aye
nue. occupied Jointly by Mr.. Sears
and j. C. Schultz. The work of equip
ping the plant is being done by
Hienie Koehler. The principal object
of installing the wireless is to obtain
the correct time each day from the
United States naval observatory at
Arlington. W. Va. The time will also
be gotten from the government sta
ton at Springfield, Ill, at which
point the government also has a time
sending station. The time will be
received in Madison at 10 and IL
o'clock, direct from the wireless sta
tions.
A plan is on foot TO permit the
high school to use the Sears aerial.
1t is the intention to start a our in
wireless telegraphy at the high school
i'm the near future. A wire will be
extended from the Sears apparatus to
the high. where Instruments will be
installed. One thousand feet of cop
per wire is used i'm the aerial. u
will be of sufficient capacity to send
or receive a message about 5000
miles.
