because the voters in Indiana and the
voters IN Maine are about OF the same
stock when it comes TO voting-that the
remaining Democratic congressman have
not much hope OF being sent back to

The indications are that the Republi-
cans have the bulge on the Democrats as
far as registration is concerned. AS
the result Of thorough organization on
the part Of the Republicans. many town
ships throughout the state have reported
a 100 per cent registration. An organic
ed registration drive also will be made
as soon as the Liberty loan campaign is
over to get in the remaining Republican

that the broadcast and clearest

ped out of the jOy-paths of youth To
tread forever after the rugged wava
of persecution for the cause of her

hut one perfume-the breath of II
liberty she could not win.
But in those first years her burn

fires of Russian revolt, and she was

She is now "A years old. and 30 of

brought her from prison tn carry her

voice! But the red mob tired of her

seemed to know her whereabouts.
A story in the early fall said she
had died of starvation-she who had
given her very soul to the service of

the BOlsheviki had stood her up be-
fore firing squad and the brain
that had schemed and dreamed for
Russia spattered the wall behind
her. The rnmor gave the outside

Bolshviki.
But now there comes another
story. She is not dead. this grand
mother of wars for freedom, hut old
