ROOSEVELT. REpuBLICAN

The speech of Theodore Roose-
welt in the Maine campaign was en-
tirely typical of that energetic pub
licist. Whatever he does he carries
on with all his heart. When he re-
VOTED in 1912 because of dis
agreement over procedure he did it
so hard that he took 100000
votes with him. When the 1916 Re-
publican convention was held, a
session without a charge of any I'M
fairness or of any effort to obtain
more than the expressed will of the
party, it nominated Hughes and Mr..
Roosevelt promptly declared that
he was for the nominee and since
then has worked with all his might
for Republican victory His efforts
in the campaign will be one of the
most important forces behind
Hughes. Roosevelt probably wants
nothing from the administration
he has now more than any admins
tration can give him-and he is
evidently working for the success
of Republicanism because he be-
lieves that it is through the Repub-
lican party under Hughes, whom no
boss bass ever been able to control,
that the nation will have the larg
est possible growth and the develop
ment that comes from wise, eff
cient and helpful Americanism.
Roosevelt was powerful as a Pro-
gressiye; he is powerful as a Re-
publican. Roosevelt says what he
thinks and he is adding strength to
the cause of better government and
efficient Americanism.

Georgia N. Howard-We cannot
dispute the fact that our children,
in the high school especially, are
working under the greatest diff
culties. They cannot possibly get
best results under present condi-
tions. Our boys and girls are de-
pendent upon us for the best foun-
dation which we can provide on

We have no right, by anything we
do or neglect, to deprive them of

PARTNERS AND ADAMsoN LAW

The Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union of America,
holding its national convention at
New Orleans. adopted resolutions,
Wednesday. condemning the Adam
son eight hour law. This organiza-
ton is said, in the telegraphic re-
port of the action, to represent g.
100000 farmers. That is about to-
tai number of farmers in the Unit
ed States, and one may be disposed
TO doubt that this order is quite so
universally representative. But
however that may be. the conyen-
tion was an important and truly
representative body of farmers, and
the adoption of such resolutions is
profoundly significant Of the atti-
tude of the farmer toward the pus-
Unanimous surrender of the Amer
lean congress. The president OF the
Texas Farmers Union. II. n. Pope,
said, the other day, that the pass
age of the Adamson law was the
most humiliating experience this
government has ever endured.

high school building in Abilene for
the following reasons: First, it
rests upon us as a moral obligation,
seeing this is a town for homes.
Second, the social interests, in a
place growing like this, demand it.
Third, it is a good business from a
financial point of view.
G. R. Baer-I favor the bond is
sue to build a new high school be-
cause more room is needed to do
good work, both in the Garfield
building and high school When /
was principal at Garfield several
years ago, the building was entirely
too crowded for good work (the
basement rooms should not be used
at ALL, and | know the conditions
have not improved since then. The
present high school building will be
ideal for junior high school, so
let Abilene put up a new, thorough
ly modern high school building that
will keep pace with the rest of its
achievements.

cratic prosperity is due to war, while
Republican prosperity grows out of
the normal and peaceful industries
of the people, it is a prosperity that
abides. When the articles
of peace are concluded in Europe,
the places where Democratic pros
perity has prevailed will wear a
changed aspect; the orders for
powder, dynamite, she'll and shrap-
mel will cease and the golden cur
rents which have been flowing
hither for these weary and tragic
months will cease. The industrial
world will hesitate then and inquire.
What of the future. No man of ra-
tional judgment fails to see that
when the thousands of men who
were withdrawn from the avenues
of peace are returned to the indus
trial field, they will enter the lists
for industrial supremacy to meet
the tax burdens which the country
puts upon them, or to provide for
their individual households. How
will this, under the Democratic pol
icy, affect labor and capital?

THE MAINE RESULT

The overwhelming republican
majority in Maine is good indica-
ton OF what the nation will do In
November. The biggest guns of the
administration including the presi-
dents son-in-law, have been cam
paigning in Maine for weeks and
the state certainly had a full
knowledge OF the issues.
Maine has always been considered
a barometer Of November. Back in
the Harrison-C Cleveland campaign 1t
went Republican by $4,000, fore
telling Harrison's election. Four
years later the Republican majority
was only 10000, indicating change
of sentiment Cleveland was elect
ed. In the first and second McKin-
ley Bryan campaigns 1t gave Repub-
lican majorities Of $4,000 and 3d.
600, pointing to Overwhelming vic
tory for Mckinley. Similar results
came in the Rooseyelt-Parker cam
paign. In the Taft-Bryan fight the
liquor question complicated matters
and the Republicans had only 1000
majority but Taft carried it by 81
600.
In 1912 the Taft-Rooseyelt-W Will
son campaign, when the party quar-
rel resulted in the election of Will
son as president, although he re-
ceived in the aggregate 100000 less
in the popular vote throughout the
country than did Bryan, his prede-
cessor on the Democratic ticket four
years before, Maine, notwithstand-
ing this confusion of votes, still
maintained her reputation as an
oracle. Although there was no split
that year on the gubernatorial can
didate, the followers of Roosevelt
and Taft both uniting in September
on Haines, the Republican, he car
ried the state by only little more
than 1000, an unmistakable indica-
tion of the election Of President
Wilson.
In 1914 Curtis, Democratic can
didate for governor, was elected by
1000 over Haines, Republican. Gard
ner, Progressive, received $4,000
votes. Smith, Dem, was elected
senator by 10000.
This year the Democrats conf
IDENTIFY claimed the state by 5000 to
5000 and realized that change in
the opposite direction meant an in
dex to the nations probable action
in November.
The result shows a Republican
victory of 1880, election of two
u. S. senators, a full congressional
delegation and governor, with Pro-
gressives of two years ago voting
the Republican ticket solid.
1t is just one more indication of
what will happen in November.
