A 1915 Thought.

If you think you are beaten you are,
If you think you dare notyou don't,
If you'd like to win, but you think you
can't.
It's almost cinch YOU won't
If YOU think you'll lose you're lost,
For out of the world we find
Success begins with fellows will;
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed you are;
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself be-
fore
You can ever win prize,
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins,
Is the one who thinks he can.

Washinuton Party Dies.

The Washington party state COM
mittee in Harrisburg, Pa, voted not
to organize. This action was a mo-
ton by William Finn and was taken
after a tumultuous debate of two
hours in which Finn was hotly
assailed and charges of using the
steam roller were made.
TIE vote was % TO II and ends the
Washington party organization. The
plan is to replace it by progressive
league which will be for Hughes, but
which will not be part Of the Republi-
can party. Clifford Pinchot ANA State
Treasurer Young proposed the new
leaguo in an effort to overcome the
i'll feeling engendered.
Mr.. Young's declaration that while
he was not a Republican and did not
want to be so considered, was follow
ed by a declaration by George Holmes
that he and his friends were for
Hughes. Finn said frankly that he
was going to vote the Republican
ticket.
State Treasurer Young introduced a
resolution endorsing Hughes as fol-
lows:
"Resolved that the Washington
party of Pennsylvania concurs in the
action Of the Progressive national COM
mittee and endorse Charles E. Hughes
for president of the United States"
