national election.
Primary resuIts, - said Mr.. su4b-
erland, speaking Of the national sit-
uauon, properly analysed, iiryaria-
bly, shed good deal of light ON polit-
ical conditions that affect elections.
There Is only one conclusion to be
drawn from primary results in gem
eral, in the period since the national
conventions. That is, that the RE-
puolicans are substantially reunited
are not.
One Of the best indications that
they are not, and that, too. in the
presidents own state, is the nomi..
nation Of Senator MARITIME. Six years
ago Wilson, as governor, forced the
party to accept MARITIME, even IL it
didn't like the Idea. But Mr.. Wilson
as president, was not so potent in
authority. In spite of the fact that
he gave his support to Judge Wescott
as against Senator MARITIME, the state
Democracy, though no prouder of
MARITIME than ever, seized the oppor-
tunity to indicate Its Independence
OF presidential control. All indica-
tons point to the fact that the diyis-
ion in the Democratic party Is today
approximately the same that prevail
ed in the Republican party four years
ago. Then there was Taft and a
Roosevelt faction. Today there Is a
Wilson and an anti-wilson element OF
Democrats, and wherever they get the
chance the anti-Wilson Democrats
give just such a demonstration or
their ability to. fout their present
leader as in the New Jersey election

HOW THE DEMOCRATS
ARE CUTTING DOWN
THE COST OF LIVING.

FAIRMoNT. Sept. 2s.-An
advance in the price OF bread
in Fairmont will take effect
Monday morning In all of the
retail stores OF the city and
the ordinary iive-cent loaf of
Wards bread will henceforth
cost the consumer six cents.
The local bakers are also con-
templating a raise in price Of
their commodity since the last
advance in the Wholesale price
Of flour was made and CON
eerted action will likely be made
next week.
Although there, is no local
organization among the bakers
yet each one Is now waiting for
one Of the others to take THE
initiative in the movement to
raise the price. Several Of the
local bakers thus stated their
position today. The prices at
which the materials used In
making bread are now sold
make It losing proposition to
sell the ordinary nine-ounce
loaf for five cents.
