statement OF Champ Clark. Democratic
speaker of the House, a statement as
honest and truthful as the sophistical
distortions OF Chairman Vance McCor-
mick, Josephus Daniels and other illus
trious Democrats are the reverse. Sem
Rtor Yardaman of Mississippi appears

Maine Aitermatll.-The one out
standing result in Maine, and II be-
comes the more evident as more de-
tailed information Is received, is that
the Progressiyes have returned to the
Republican party in such numbers as
tto insure the election of Mr.. Hughes
OF Republican Senate and n Republi-
can House II the same percentage of
return is maintained throughout the
country. The Democratic contentious
that Mr.. Wilson would be reelected
have all along been based on their be-
lief that the Progressives Of 1912 would
split and that a considerable percent
age would vote the Democratic ticket.
OF course on no other ground could
they predict a Democratic victory. be-
cause in 1912 Mr.. Wilson received
100000 fewer votes than the COM
bined vote OF Roosevelt and Taft. 1t
Is ais highly significant that the Maine
campaign was fought almost entirely
on national issues. From local stand
point the Democrats had the advant-
age because their candidate for COVER
nor had just given n satisfactory adj
ministration of that office. and the Re-
publicans wisely refrained from any
general attack on him. The chief eff
fort OF the Democrats was devoted TO
the election OF the two senator's, and
their argument for the reelection of
Senator Johnson was that he had voted
for every Wilson measure. The Re-
publicans concentrated their fire on
every Wilson measure, and the voters
appear to have voted against johnson
because he voted for every Wilson
measure.

Wilson JOllles Mexicans.-Wlthm mel
linous rhetoric, President Wilson Is
still striving TO conciliate the repre-
sentatlyes OF General Carranza into
such measure of amiabillty as will per-
NIT OF some sort OF agreement to be
reached at the New London confer
ence which will tide over the Mexican
middle until after the election.
Called to New London by the serious
illness Of his sister, President Wilson
called on the MeXicans and told them
OF his entire confidence in and SYM
pathy with Carranza, Of his strong
advocacy OF those great fundamental
principles OF tho new freedom for
which Carranza is striving. of his de-
testion OF the prosperous and educated
classes in Mexico, etc He told them
that he was convinced that all right
thinking men the world over were in
sympathy with Carranza. his lofty
deals, and noble aspirations. The SOC
ial regeneration OF Mexico, he declared,
must come from within and he in
tlmated that IN his opinion Carranza
was foreordained TO work out Mexlco's
social and economic salvation. He
automatically refrained from referring
TO the American soldiers shot at Car
rial by Carranza's express order, or
to the hundreds Of American citizens
killed and the hundreds OF American
women outraged by the Carranzistas
throughout Mexico. In a word, Mr..
Wilson once more kissed the hand
which had slapped his face and was
red with the blood OF American men,
women and children"

Labor Can't BE Bought.-The defeat
Of Daniel ]. McGillicuddy, Democratic
congressman from the Second district

people, and especially the laboring

of Mr.. Wilson's course in compelling
Congress to enact the railway wage
increase bill. Mr.. McGillicuddy was a
labor candidate, thrice elected by labor
votes and he voted for the Wilson
Adamson bill, but that certainly did
not save him. OF his defeat, the New
York Times. which is supporting Pres
ident Wilson, says: THE lesson is
evident. The labor vote is cast Just as
other votes are cast. Trucking to 1t,

The Land OF Grapes
and Grape Myrtle

THAT mass of Grape myrtle is the
most beautiful sight in this town."
a man remarked during the summer,
speaking of clump of trees with a
rarely beautiful shade of blossom
And he was right. If New England
could grow the Grape myrtle-re-
quiring no more attention than it
does in the South and with it's wealth
of blossoms lasting in undiminished
glory for weeks and weeks-she
would soon make herself famous as
1.-The Land of the Grape Myrtle, land
travellers would go for long distances
to see the avenues of trees in bloom,
even as tourists from all over the
world go to see Japan when the wis
taria blooms and again when the
streets are made heavenly with the
poisoning of cherry trees.
Moreover, if New England had a.
monopoly of the various varieties of
grapes so easily raised in the South,
it's easy to believe she would soon
make herself famous as 1.-The Land
of the Scuppernong," or the land of
the other delicious varieties akin to
the Scuppernong.
The trouble with us in the South
is that we have SO many opportuni-
ties that we are likely to make the
most of none of them. 1t is easy to
plant Grape myrtles before every
farm door, however, and probably no
other shrub or tree provides such a
wealth of blossoms for so long a per-
iod; and it is easy also to plant a
succession of grapes that will fur
nish this most delicious of all fruits
every day from midsummer till frost.
Why not make the South famous
as 1.-THE Land of Grapes and Grape
Myrtles?" Try this on your FARM

BIG BUSINESS TO COME.
Predicted That Retail Trade This
Year Will be Enormous.

Business now has arrived at such
proportions and is so vast in all lines
that the war munitions trade can be
gradually closed without appreciate
effect upon any of the great factors
of current affairs.
While it is more than probable the
war munitions orders from abroad
will fall off after next September,yet
| by that time this country's demands
| for it's own preparedness will prolong
munitions activities after the foreign
demand decreases.
Eliminate the foreign demand for
munitions of war at the close of the
war, and we still have Europe upon
the verge of starvation to be fed and
a Europe desolated by the havoc of
war to be rebuilt ana restored.
The purchasing power of the mas
ses of the people will show steady in
creases every month, and the mer-
chants and shopkeepers throughout
every township, county, city and
State of the Union will be benefited
| by the demand that is coming to
them
Our 1OO,OOO,OOO of people are the
freest and most liberal buyers of any
in the world, and they now have the
means to pay for what they need and
much of the articles they desire.
The retail trade of 1916 will be
enormous, and our home business
will become greater as the year pro-

Linthicum And Price Advocate Ex-

Washing ton, Jan. 24.-Represen-

sentatives today in favor of the pas
sage of the Shackelford federal good
road bill, which proposes to author
ize the expenditure of 100000
by the national government on the
highways of the country. Under the
bills terms each State would receive
$4,000 and the balance of the mo-

and that in 1904 he had voted in the

cred one of the finest in this part of
the country.
Republican Leader Mann took the
floor against the Shackelford Bill on
the ground that the money would
have to come from special taxes, most

Representative Price, of Maryland,
speaking in advocacy of the bill,
said:
ut has been argued that this bill,
II enacted, would stagnate road
building and place a premium on in
activity. My experience teaches 9th
erWise. During the passage of the
road law in Maryland, the legislature
was confronted with the same issues
that face US here. Baltimore felt it
was being called upon to pay more
that her share of the cost of the
State roads. I venture to say that
there is not a handful of it's citizens

CLEARS WAY FOR
PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM
President Will Urge Congress to Dis
pose of Appropriation Bills in Or
der That The Army And Navy
Bills Might be Reached at Once.

Washington, Jan. 24.-President
Wilson today began efforts to speed
up the legislative machinery of Con-
gress to clear the way for the pre-
paredness program. Before beginning
his speaking tour later this week to
bestir public sentiment on the issue
he will impress on Congress the de-
STABILITY of disposing of appropria-
ton bills and other pending legisla-
ton, so that there might be as little
delay as possible in reaching the
Army and Navy bills.
The President discussed the ap-
preparation bills today with Repre-
sentatives Flood, Stephens, Lever and
Page, chairmen, respectively, of the
House Foreign Affairs, Indian and
Agriculture Committees and the Dis
trict of Columbia subcommittee of
the Appropriations Committee. He
told them he hoped Congress could
finish it's work and adjourn before
the national political conventions.
They assured him of their assistance,
but some of them doubted whether
the session could be ended that soon.
The President was Informed that
legislation is usually delayed most in
will confer with leaders of that body
before going West. He took the posi-
tiCn today that it is particularly de-
sirable to dispose of appropriation
bills quickly in order that the House
Ways and Means Committee and the
Senate Finance Committee may know
how much revenue it will be neces-
sary to raise.
In his speeches the President plans
to discuss preparedness and other is
sues pending before the country in
the frankest way possible. He has
been told by Cabinet members that
in many States the people do not I'M
derstand why the Army and Navy
should be increased at this time. He
is expected to declare that there is
real need for the United States to be
prepared to uphold it's position be-
fore the world. In this connection
the Mexican and European situations
will be mentioned.
Mr.. Wilson will leave for New
York Wednesday afternoon and re-
main there Wednesday night and
Thursday, making two speeches on
Thursday night. He still plans to re-
turn to Washington Friday morning
before starting on his Middle West
ern trip Friday night. st. Louis was
added to the itinerary today at the
urgent request of Senators Stone and
Reed, of Missouri.
During the day the President was
strongly urged to visit the South on
the second trip he probably will make
soon after returning from the first
