WIRING LACK HALTS
SAVING OF LABOR
Tight-Fisted Builders Blamed
for Limiting Of Use OF
Electrical Devices.

Tight-hsted builders and back

Pacific coast electrical society for
obstructing the wider use OF home

Thousands OF women still bend
over the washtub. hundreds OF thou
sands are still condemned to I'M
counted hours OF dishpan drudgery.
millions still sweat and suffer at the
ironing board, because designers and
builders of dwellings fail or refuse
to provide the wiring connections
which would permit these mental
tasks being done by electrical ma
chinery.
ASK any electrical dealer what
limits most OF his sales OF appli-

provided in laundry or kitchen in
which to locate them.
THE buyer then faces the expense

G. 0. P. VICTORY
Chairman White of Demo-
cratic Party Says They
Paid For 1t
GIVES CREDIT FOR
ORGANIZATION
Declares Democrats Will
Do as Well in Some
Other States

New York, Sept. l4-Commenting on
yesterdays election in Maine, George
White, chairman of the Democratic ma
tional committee, to-day issued the
following statement;
This is the Republicans day of re-
joicing. They planned, labored and
paid for it, and | would not by any
utterance of mine rob them of any of
their need of joy. With splendid or
ganization and with the expenditure of
every effort possible to great finances,
they prepared the Republican state of
Maine for this state election in the hope
of persusding the country that the
trend is heavily Republican in the ma
tional race.
Had the Democratic party been pre-
sented the same opportunity in state
where the trumpet call of democracy
means as much as the clarion of Re
publicanism in Maine, we should have
as nearly the same efforts possible with
the same psychology in mind.
sWe shall have votes for the league
in November from thousands of the
men and women who supported Col
onel Parkhurst. On a certain morning
in November, our time for rejoicing
will come, and in the meantime we gaze
cheerfully upon to-dsys Republican
demonstration and do not begrudge il
TO them at all.
