I'VE are honestly but desperately

The result of this is that he eutlives

Maine was luxury to ua in a.state
election. We could not afford it and
SO We charged it off long ago. We did
not organize it; We did not fill it's ia
bles with literature and its ears with
oratory. The Republicans knew this
and with a conventional sense Of Po-
litieal psychology set cut to rell UP
the biggest majority possible, for it's
effect on the country.
Our kingdom is a-eeming. and the
crossing Of the Jordan is near at
hand.
But we do not conceal that the
Democratic national committee is seri-
ously put to it in the matter of money.
We are hopeful that We will find
enough to make ends meet and that
we will be able to place in the field
behind our dauntless commander an
effective army, if a small one. The
fight he Is making is not one to be
lost because millions are withheld
from the Democratic committee by
those who have them. Mamma fell in
the wilderness; and we look with hope
to the moral forces of this nation,
for whose issues we stand. not to per-
init our campaign to starve.
IF we have to fight barefoot and
on an empty stomach it has been done

Of four propositions submitted to the
voters at the State election yesterday
were overwhelmingly approved on the
face of partial returns, while the 9th

margins of 17,494 and 24,370, respec-

The act of the Legislature giving
