WILSON AND NOM
 NEE HUGHES TO PARTICIPATE
ELECTION ON SEPT. II
Leaders of Both Parties Look on This Contest as of Importance as PoIit- teal Index-RooseveIt to Make an Address.

Portland, Me, August 13.-The present week will see the opening of the speech making acmpaign among
 Maine voters in preparation for the there will be no test of strength be- tween democrats and republicans in other states prior to November ', leaders of both parties look on this contest as of importance as a polit- teal index.
 Wilson and Hughes to Stump.
 Both President Wilson and Former Justice Hughes are expected to plead for thei rOwn support as candidates. Former President Roosevelt will de- liver at least one address in behalf of MT. Hughes.
 Although the progressive party will have no candidates in the field, the trend of individual progressive senti- ment is regarded as the most inter esting factor in the situation, with leaders on both sides protesting con fidence that they will obtain the bulk of these votes. Until the progressive republican split of 1912 the state was rated as republican and notwithstand- ing a democratic victory for governor and legislature in 1910, which was ac- counted for largely by a fight over local issues, party managers were ac- custOmed to scan the returns mainly to determine the size of the republican plurality
 Republicans Won Four Years Ago.
 Four years ago the republicans were successful in the vote for governor at the September election, but the margin was small and in the following No vember the state went for Wilson for president with Colonel Roosevelt as second choice. In 1914 Governor William T. Haines. republican, was de- feated for reelection by Oakley c. Curtis, democrat, with a progressive candidate also in the field The progressive vote in that year was a little over one-third that returned for i Roosevelt two years before. In addition to the state officers and ! congressman, two United States sen ators are to be chosen this year for the first time in the state by direct vote.

Uncle Sans treatment of soldiers
when they go into trouble always did
remind one of the Scrouge & Marley
outfit that Dickens spoke of so often.
1t does seem as though that merely
because a man is willing to fight for
his country, he should be handicapped
without supplies and decent outfit to
help do the work, merely because
each red-tapist hasn't had time to
find more red tape to properly prevent
his efficiency. If it was proposition
of fighting for ones country it would
be different, but up to date it seems
to be question of fighting the differ
ent magnificent rolls of red tape, in
order that the rules and regulations
may be properly complied with ac-
cording to the rules laid down by the
people who are In power in the war
Office, just the same as is done in the
land office. When the average recruit is
bent on fighting for his country he
may discover eventually that he is in
reality bucking up against some
cheap clerk in the office of the Secre-
tary of War. In many instances he
will find that he is not only attempt
ing to fight for his country but that
it is necessary for him to fight just
as hard against some knot-headed
clerk in the war Office, in order to be
in position to help his country out.
