 Her father protested, but Miss AIbee said. You took mother up 395 feet one afternoon, and I'm going to beat her record"
 So the girl took her place in the little bosn's chair alongside the me- chanic and was hoisted to the very iop of the tower, where she sat while he did his work. From the ground she looked like a mere speck against the sky.

WILL NR. WILSON 7
 WIN IN MAINE?
i-c,owinq Accounts of Situation Civ Ten by Governor-Elect Trough
 Arkansas Campaign to Open
 a7 About Sept. f5:

.C.lLittle Rock, Aug. 3i.-Dr C. H, BF6ugh writes from Maine, where '.Be has been delivering series of addresses for the National Demo
 cratic ticket, that the campaign
 which has been conducted in that state by a number of speakers is
 making a most favorable impress sion. He predicts that the National ticket will run far ahead of the state ticket. and that there are strong indications that Maine may go to Woodrow Wilson with the same degree of enthusiasm which tradition says it went for Gov. Kent.
 The campaign in Arkansas for the state and national ticket will open about September i5, and for the en- suing eight weeks will be prose- cuted vigorously. The campaign will be in charge of State Chairman ]. w. House, Secretary c. c. Calvert and Assistant Secretary T. J. Ter ral. all of whom have won the Vic- toria Cross and any other available honor on the field of conflict in Ar kansas politics.
 Speakers are volunteering for the campaign, and Dr. c. H. Brough, nominee for governor, will be the generalissimo of the forces that look upon with distrust and point with pride" Senators Clarke and Robinson and the seven Representa- tives have been invited to return and take part in the campaign. Their friends at |. home would be glad to see some of them again, and after their arduous, continuous service in saving the country up there at the head of Pennsylvania avenue it should be relief to them to get back among their constitu- ents for a while. Who knows what breaches in fences they might find in urgent need of repair?
 Speakers will go principally to the counties where the Republicans have developed opposition, and the campaign will therefore probably be opened in the counties of Madi- son, Hot Springs. Carroll. Searcy, Crawford and Newton.
 Smead Powell already running for the Senate, former Governor Don- aghey, who may run. Associate Jus tiee w. F. Kirby. who will be a can- didate in 1919 for Senator Clarke's place Governor Hays, who has ad- vised the public that he is in the probability column, and Hon. Steph- enson Brundidge, who is always a possibility. are among those who will be invited to enact the role of spell-binder.
