MAINE DEMOCRATS ACTIVE.
Began Campaign at Bangor, Me-, With
Several Addresses.

Bangor, Me, July 25.-Democracy be,
gan a big drive in eastern Maine here

Guiding a sprinkling of women and con-
siderable enthusiasm was manifested,
especially at mention of President Will
son and his policies.
Prof. George Chase of the University
of Maine presided and introduced Mr.,
Pierce as the first speaker He said that
the Democratic party could no longer
be accused of being the party of criti-
cism, it could now proudly point to its
record and of the men it had placed at
the forefront in our land. The fact that
the party was and has been imbued by
the highest deals had been responsible
for its never failing to put in an APP
pearance at every Maine election; no
matter how severely it had been beaten
the time before.
Prof. Sills, who was nominated for
United States senator to-day to succeed
Senator Burleigh devoted himself to
high praise of the Wilson administra-
ton, quoting the German who is al
legged to have said that the submarines
of Germany had been caught in net
of President ilson's notes Prof. Sills
said that these notes would yet be high
ly regarded in the annals of our country.

PROTECTION OF BUSINESS
From Operations of the British Trade

Washington, July 24.-Protection. OF
American business houses named in a
commercial blacklist prepared by Great
Britain is looked for in vigorous action
/ by the United States.

explanations come from London in reply
TO informal inquiries by American Am

Officials see complications in the re

concerted action along the lines Of the
British trading with the enemy act
That would increase difficulties of the
business concerns and would extend d.
plomatic interchanges.
Great Britain's blacklist was discussed
at length at yesterdays cabinet meeting,
but afterward Acting Secretary OF State
Polk said there would be no immediate
announcement on the subject
1t was said that the president and his
advisers were studying treaties with
Great Britain involved in the question.
While it is understood that it has been

Vermont Proud of Page

Vermont is proud of her dis
tinguished son, but not more so
than the hide and leather fra
ternity, who feel that to-day
Senator Page combines that abil-
ity and enterprise which easily
places him in the front rank of
those connected with the great
hide and leather business of the
country.
That Vermont fails to recog-
nize the standing of Senator
Page in the business world we
do not believe. That she will
fail to appreciate the fact that
no man stands higher in the
National Senate as an able, hon
orable. high-minded worker
than Carroll S. Page is in our
judgment entirely improbable.

Elected United States Senator
His Work for the Cause of Ed
ucatiOn

1t is, however, to the cause of
education that Mr.. Page has de-
voted his time and energies dur
ing the past six years. The So
called Page Vocational Educa-
tional Bill is the only bill relat-
ing to vocational education that
ever passed either House of Con-
gress. This bill passed the Sem
ate January %, 1913, but was
defeated by a Democratic House.
In 1913 that part of the bill
which pertains to college extern
sion work, and is now doing such
an immense amount of good to
the agricultural interests of the
country, was passed. The bal
ance of the bill is now before
Congress in both Houses, and is
known as the Smith-Hughes
Bill. Senator Smith, in speaking
in the Senate recently, practi.
cally said that while the bill bore
his name the public were indebt-
ed to Senator Page for it.

His Political Activities

Mr.. Page became early in life
actively identified with the Re
publican party. In 1872 he was
placed upon the State Commit
tee, a position he retained until
he resigned in 1889 when he ran
for Governor. From 1885 to
1889 he was chairman, and il
was under his administration of
affairs that the State gave the
largest Republican majority ev-
er given up to that time.
Elected United States Senator
In 1908 Mr.. Page was elected
to the United States Senate.
Within a few months after he
entered the Senate he became an
acknowledged authority on mat
tiers pertaining to hides and
leather. His speech in June,
1909, is looked upon as an au-
thoritative statement on that in
dustry, and was circulated in
large numbers throughout the

Started With Less Than S400

The people of Vermont have
just been celebrating the 125th
anniversary of Vermont's adj
mission to the Union, un-
der the auspices of the
Greater Vermont Association.
Vermont is anxious to convince
the world that the Green Noun
tain State is a good place in
which to achieve success. If she
wishes to prove the fact by a
living example, she need go no
further than to her illustrious
son who is so highly thought Of
by the hide and leather trade of
the country, Carroll S. Page.
Here is a man who started
with less than $500 cash capital,
but with a supply of courage,
persistency and enterprise which
enabled him to overcome the
handicap of his location lin a
country village. He has achieved
a success so notable in the raw
calf skin trade that the father
of the late Governor Guild said
that he was as we'll known in
Europe as in America as an i'm
portant factor in the hide trade.
His Success as Banker
He has made a success in
banking almost equally notable.
After four years service as bank
examiner, he established in his
little home village of only 423 |
population a bank which has to-
day more than 100000 assets,
and is said to be the largest bank
in the world in any country vii !

MANY ARE AFTER HANDS
JOB

Atlanta, Ga, October To-
Suggestions of four or five names
have been made to Gov. Harris,
according to announcement by
Private Secretary F. X. Jones, for
appointment to fill the place made
vacant on the Wesier and Allan
tIc commission by the death Sat
urday night of Hon. Judson L.
Hand, of Pelham. In addition to
these, Mr.. Jones says, the govern
or has before him the list of forty
ave names made up last fall when
the commission itself was called
upon TO fill the vacancy caused by
ahe declination of Hon. Fuller Z.
AallaWay to serve.
Under the provisions of the
act creating the commission, in
event of any one of the members
selected by the legislature declin-
ing 10 serve, that vacancy was to
nave been filled by the remaining
members of the commission,
which was done. Thereafter, any
vacancies caused by death or res
Ignation are, under the act, to be
Rlled by appointment by the gov
nor, This, therefore, puts the
elece OF a successor to Mr..
land up to Governor Harris.
No intiination is made as to
when the vacancy probably will
be filled, and at this time it APP
pears that there is no particular
rush, inasmuch as the next meet
sng OF the commission will be held
on Dec. 9. That meeting, how
ever, will be an important one, at
which offers win be received in
response to the invitation of the
commission for bids for lease of
the property and for proposals to
extend the road to the sea.

WHICH WILL THE PUBLIC
BELIEVE?

Liquor organizations, through
liberal purchase of advertising
space in newspapers which have
not yet freed themselves from
liquor domination, are trying to
fool the public into believing that
prohibition is a failure from every
point of view. Especially are they
attacking the law in the newer
prohibition states, even, i'll their
desperation, quoting 2l-year-old
newspaper articles, to bolster up
their arguments. Their mis-state-
ments, however, are so fragrant
that they are over-reaching them
selves. The advertisement claim
ing increase of arrests" in Den
yer, for example, is fatty con-
tradicted by the facts as set forth
by Denver officials. Mayor Speer
is well known as a friend of the
vets, yet, says the Denver Ex-
press, he has been startled at
prohibitions effect in decreasing
crime" Safety Manager Bailey
Quoting further from the Ex-
press) said "that he had been
convinced of prohibitions bene-
fits through the jail reports. The
county Jail used to house from 20C
to $50 prisoners daily; it now
houses one-third that number

NEW YORK FACES A COAL
FAMINE

New York, October 16.-A
shortage OF coal is in prospect for
the city this winter, according to
the dealers, who declare their bins
arc being depleted; their ship
unents delayed and that the out
look for immediate or eventual
relief is poor. Failure to receive
the usual amount of coal is attri-
buted to scarcity OF labor at the
mines and lack OF cars for trans
poTtation, the latter OF which is
said be most serious, due to the
movement OF war munitions and
yDfaaer freight for export. The
enormous foreign trade is also
blamed for the shortage, which,
1T rs stated exists in other sec
tons ct the country as well as
here.
Prices to New York household
sers for stove and nut coal vary
from 81 to SIS. Dealers declare
that, with favorable weather, the
price will reach So before Thanks
giyIng and that 50 coal is not too
high TO expect at Christmas. A
cold winter7will send prices high
