Record Of Maine congressman.
OF the present candidates for Con.
gress IN the Maine election, only one
Of them has served thru the two
cOngresses-the 64th and the 65th.
This is Congressman Peters. Re-
Gently he received letter from the
secretary OF the National Security
League saying that it had been pleas.
ed to say that Cong. Peters was on
the roll of honor, as having voted
right on all seven of the measures of
preparedness. And that Cong. Peters
was one of At, out of 374 members of
Congress, who had been put on the
Roll of Honor, as voting consistently
right thru two Congresses.
A chart showing the vote of every
member of these congresses has been
circulated widely.
1t shows that out of six measures
in the Gath Congress Mr. McGillicuddy
voted wrong on four and right on two
and;
| That Mr.. White, his successor in
the 65th Congress, voted right on both
loFt bn cd fn
during his term.
And that Mr.. Hersey Mr.. Goodall,
Mr.. White and Mr. Peters all voted
right on the measures in the 65th
Congress as sized up by this non.
partisan but intensely patriotic Ma
tional Security League
| Inspection Of this chart shows that
the Southern states were represented
by men who voted wrong" on every
one of the preparedness measures.
They were opposed to any preparation
for war Claude kitchin, House lead
er OF the democrats, was wrong on
everything in the 64th Congress.
AS this chart, approved by former
democratic presidential candidate is
issued by non-partisan organization,
having for its object the good of the
nation and the support of the ad.
ministration in its prosecution of the
war the Importance Of what it shows
cannot be over-estimated. 1t clearly
demonstrates that Maine republicans
in Congress have given the admins
tration more support In preparedness
and war measures than did the demo-
cratic member of Congress in the Saith
Congress. There can be but one con.
struction placed on the showing of
this chart. Maine will be sending to
Congress men who will stand for those
things which mean fastening the
wars end and the ultimate victory of
the United States by electing repub-
lican congressman. By electing DEM
ocrats, on the face of this record, sub
scribed to by former presidential
candidate of that party, she will DO
taking a chance that this support Ill

WHAT THE YIN. c. A. DOES.

PARIS, July Il (By maiD. Here is the
spirit of the American soldier in France.
A boy with a division which has been
over here several weeks had been unable
to get cigarettes and tobacco. His unit
had moved about. and the Y. M. C. A.
had been unable to serve them. He
asked the reason.
'The war department is using every
nch of space to get troops over, and has
cut down on the space the W can have
to ship supplies" he was told.
'Fine stuff" he said. $50 long as the
government gets over the men we can
get along without the smokes. We can
get along without candy and SMOKES, but
we can't get along without writing paper
to send letters home to the folks"
"That's one thing we can get all you
want Of, said the Y. NJ C. A. man, and
within an hour supply of writing paper
and envelopes was delivered to that unit.
