RESULT IN MAINE
INDICATES UNITED
REPUBLICAN PARTY
This Is How Candidate
Hughes Looks at Vic
tory in Pine Tree
State

Plattsburg, N Y, September 12.-In the
last speech of his first presidential cam
paign trip, Charles E. Hughes asserted
in an address here tonight that the re-
suit in Maine had proved the republican
party was reunited. He declared the
party would not change its plans or
aims" a f
Il come to you" Mr.. Hughes said, "as
the spokesman of reunited republican
party. We have said it was reunited. we
have devoutly hoped it was reunited. Now
Maine proves that it is reunited. We
shall not change our plans or aims, but
we shall go forward with renewed conf
dence, because the old state in the north
east corner has spoken in no uncertain
voice"
Mr.. Hughes assailed the Wilson adj
ministration for failure to reduce the cost
of living. for extravaganza, for failure
to protect American lives and rights
abroad and for failure to live up to it's
promise to observe the merit system"
Our friends on the other side,' con-
tinued Mr. Hughes, ''tickled the ear with
many promises which they have not full
filled. They said that the republican
party was responsible for the high cost
of living. They have been in power for
sometime and I do not see that the high
cost of living has been reduced. 1t seems
to be beyond democratic control.
ut was said they would abolish useless
offices. The abolition of useless offices
has not been quite so apparent as the
appointment of useless officers. 1t was
said they would get rid of extravag ance.
Our friends on the other side told lis
four years ago that they We're going to
be true to the principle of the civil serv-
ice. The principle of the civil service
has been betrayed. They told us that
the lives and property of American cit
liens abroad would be protected. That
was one of the most explicit promises.
That was sound doctrine. The only trou-
BILE was that it was not performed"
Mr.. Hughes left tonight for New York.
He will remain there until tomorrow aft
ernoon, when he will go to his summer
home at Bridgehampton, Long Island,
there to remain until September II or Is,
when he starts on his second campaign
trip.

highly entertained. Florette is a clever

BISMARCK

The Struggle" which is shown at
the Bismarck today only, as the next
release on the Equitable Program, is
one of those heart gripping photo
dramas which are often read about
but seldom seen. The story deals
with the intense emotions experience
ed by a big, stalwart officer in the
army, who sees the girl he loves WOO
ed and won by scapegrace junior.
The junior. in the face of peril, proves
a poltroOn, but after series OF eX-
citing adventures turns up as an ac-
tive helper among the lepers OF the
Philippines. Being dragged back to
civilization and his wife by his self
sacrificing senior officer, he discovers
that he has contracted leprosy, and
the marks appear on his arm. This
drives him to suicide, and the road to
happiness for the hero and the girl
whom he has always loved and who
is now a widow, is made plain. There
are thrills in plenty, and a number OF
extremely tense situations, but they
all lead up to the logical climax, and
the end is as it should be. The pho
togrophy is excellent, the direction OF
John Ince fully up to his high reputa-
ton, and the whole production a
shade beyond even the high standard
set by the Equitable.

regiment numbering over 100 mem.
bers and commanded by a United
States army officer. 1t started with

ceiving such military instruction as
they could without interfering with
their studies. They hoped thus to
be better prepared to serve their
country in case of need than If they
had no military knowledge or training
at all. But enthusiasm was so great
that the plan naturally assumed much
larger proportions and now full
course in military science is offered.
Other colleges and universities are
showing the same keen and practical
interest in military preparedness and
are Fastening to do their share in this
nationwide movement. All this is be.
ing done in cooperation with the war
department. The plan is to train the
men in field service, engineering and
sanitation. Regular army officers
will instruct them, and it is probable
that most of them will continue the
training received during the college
term in the training camps this sum.

In this way the war department
hopes to recruit a corps Of $4,000 Off.

OF course. the training given in the
colleges will not turn out full-fedged
officers, but it will turn out men well

ty, as well as in concrete efficiency.
