RECRUITS FOR NATIONAL GUARD,

Instructions have just been received by the
Army Recruiting Officer, Portland, to accept
and enlist any qualified man present.
ing hims elf for enlistment in the National
Guard. This is the first time in the history of
the country that anything of this nature has
ever been done. Heretofore enlistments for
the National Guard were entirely under the
control of the State authorities. The above
order temporarily takes this out of the hands
of the State and places it under direct control
of General Wood, the Commanding Officer
Department of the East. Men desiring to Join
the National Guard of Maine or New Hamp-
shire should present themselves at any of the
Army Recruiting Offices in this district. The
medical examination will be made by local
physicians, and the men sworn in at once. They
will not be sent to Fort Socum, N Y, as in the
case with accepted applicants for the regular
army. While no definite inforn alton has bee
received concerning the disposition of the men
enlisted for the National Qua rds, the probable
tiles are that men from the State of Maine
will be concentrated at Fort Williams, Portland
Harbor; men from New Hampshire will be con-
centrated at Concord. This regulation III no
way effects the status of the men enlisting in
the Guard nor changes the period or conditions
of the enlistment contract.

VOt9 for Frank {. Guernsey
tor Senator July 24th
WHY?

Because he has had eight years experience al
Washington and has proved himself worthy.
Because his record of service warrants the
promotion he seeks.
Because he is from the East and the Republi-
cans have already nominated one senator from
the West. The nomination fairly and Justly
belongs to the eastern part of the State Two
republican nominees from the extreme western
part of the State within thirty five miles of
each other will not appeal to the sense of fair
ness of the Republican Voters.
Because the pluralities he has received in the
past justify the claim that he is big 'vote
getter".
Because it is we'll understood that the Demo-
cratic organization will make terrific drive to
elect two United States Senators in Maine,
We need the strength MIR. Guernsey's name
will give the Republican ticket.
Because the Republican Party believes in
preparedness not only for defense but for all
duty. Mr.. Guernsey is prepared for the office
of senator by experience and knowledge gained
through service.
Because the election of Mr.. Guernsey for u,
S. Senator will be big step toward National
Park in Maine. His bill in Congress to pro-
vide for National Park at Katahdin has al
ready gained recognition in Congress. This
good work should be continued.
Because Maine has been strong at Washing
ton in years past through maintaining and pro-
noting at Washington Republican representa-
tives who have become valuable through length
of service and experience.
Let every Republican voter go to the polls
the oath and vote for the man of demonstrated
legislative ability who is prepared for the job.
Vote for Frank E. Guernsey July 24th.

THE LOCALITY ARGUMENT?

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: One of
the arguments used by the opponents of Mr..
Guernsey against his receiving the nomina-
ton for u S Senator by Maine Republicans
at the special primary election July oath Is
that Mr.. Milliken, the Republican candidate
for Governor, is from the same congressional
district as Mr.. Guernsey, and that this fact
alone would work unfairly to other sections
of the State Let US look at the record in
former elections and see how the candidates
have been selected. We find Kennebec county
alone gave US Governor Cony in 1864; Gov
Conner in 1876; Gov. Bodwell in 1887; Gov.
Hill in 1901 Gov. Plaisted (Dem) in 1911; and
that during that time MIR. Blaine. resident of
Kennebec county, served member of the
House of Representatives from 1868 to 1876,
as U. 5. Senator from 1876 to 1881, and Mr..
Burleigh served as a member of the House of
Representatives from 1897 to 1870 and as U.
S. Senator from March A, 1918, until his death.
The question of the location of candidate
for the U. S. Senate was never raised when
Maine was represented by a Hamlin, Nor
rill, Blaine, Frye or Hale.
Mr.. Guernsey is the logical candidate. His
8 years congressional experience places him
far in the lead of any other candidate. He
has never betrayed trust, but has been loyal
to his constituency, and in honoring him with
tie nomination and election to the upper
branch of Congress, the State of Maine and
the nation will gain prestige thereby. Vote
for Guernsey. ]. H. W.

publican rally in Machias July 18th could
be the Deacon Hill of our boyhood days.
We recall the big fireplace in his kitchen,
where all the cooking was done; the little
log CABIN in the garden, relic of the Har-
rison campaign Of 1910; and the fact that
Deacon Hill had the first moving ma
chine ard the first horserake in that

Some of our readers will be interest
ed to know that the American House,
Boston, has closed its doors and that a
business building is to take its place.
Years ago it was headquarters for New
England people, and the only time the
writer registered there was after a long
absence from this part of the country,
hoping to meet some one be had known.
With its unattractive location in Hano-
yer street it is a wonder that it has held
out so long, Another old hotel, the
United States, in the heart of the whole
sale district, has attracted large lunch
and dinner patronage by its excellent
CUISINE, and that is also true of the Quincy
House, which many years ago might
have been classed as a second rate hos
5elry. Another old-time hotel that has
maintained its prestige is the Adams
House and Parker's and Young's con-
tinue to appeal to lovers of good things to
lat. The newer hotels are legion.

The Shoe Situation.

Untitled contracts in footwear are sufficient
to insure active operations at some plants for
several months, and at others for number of
weeks to come. But factories hampered
by labor scarcity and outputs somewhat cur
tailed. Higher temperatures have stimulated
retail distribution considerably, while tall
orders are being booked in substantial amounts.
1t is not surprising that leather is less active
than recently, as many shoe shops have closed
temporarily Yet the abatement of demand is
not general and the strength in prices is sus-
tanned, with higher figures asked in some in
stances.-Dun's Review, July 18th.
