CHAIRMAN HAM

Hon. Frank j. Ham of Augusta,
chairman of the Republican State COM
mittee, when asked for an expression
at the close of the State campaign,
said:
II believe this is a Republican year,
Il believe a very large majority Of
the voters of this State must and are
determined to have a change in the
conduct of national affairs, and that
they are awaiting with increasing i'm
patience Sept. 13, to register their
protest against the present Democratic
administration. This will be voiced in
a tremendous Republican vote for
State and county candidates as an eX-
preston of Names verdict.
IF 10000 women vote in the cleo
ton Monday the Republican majority
will be 100000
Il believe that on Sept. IS, every
Republican and a great number OF
Democrats throughout the country will
be proud of old Maine.

Republican

Bangor. Sept. II - Miss Mary
Stewart Of Washington, director
Of the Women's Division Of the
Speakers Bureau Of the Eastern
Section Of the Republican Ma
tionai Committee gave out the
following statement this evening
after the completion of a three
weeks speaking tour of the
State:
81 find that the Maine women
regardless Of their attitude
toward suffrage are taking a keen
interest in politics. The Suffrage,
the Indifferent woman and the
Anti, that was, are all taking
their political responsibilities
seriously, even enthusiastically.
They are open minded and they
want to know the facts.
These women want to know
what the League of Nations real
Iy is. The women do cherish
ideals. but they are essentially
practical, and they have faith in
the statesmen who not only
promise we'll, but perform well.
and it is for this reason that the
Republican party chiefly recon-
mends itself to Maine women.
believe that fully 80 per cent. of
Maine women will vote the Re-
publican ticket"

THE COLONIES SAY

Col. Frederic H. Parkhurst of Ban
&or' the Republican candidate for
governor, has made the following
election forecast:
since the primaries have visited
approximately half the towns and
'ieles OF Maine. l have personally
conferred with many thousands. of
men and women who are interested
IN the cause of good government. Ev-
erSWhere | have been told of life

the Democratic national ad,ninistr,
'ion at Washington have declared
thelr intention of voting the Renuh-
lfcan ticket. | have found the Re-
pupilcans we'll organized, militant
ana determined that the vote
IN Maine shall he a decisive endorse

Maine Republicans emphatically de-
nand a Republican administration in

oer our constitution.

pronounced tendency toward the Re-
publican party that their enrolment

, immediately following the an,
nouncement of the result of the June
primary. l expressed my thanks to
the Republicans of Maine for the
nomination given to me and added,
that we must carry Maine by 25 900.
This was adopted as a slogan and
the campaign has been conducted
with the avowed purpose of winning
by 25.oo0 majority. What $4,000
Republican majority would mean at
this time as an evidence of a cour-
try-wide drift towards the Republic
can party can best be realized by a..
study of the election returns of the.
past 10 years. Using the elections
held in 1910 1912, 1914, 1916 and 1918,
as a basis comparison. it appears
that the Republican vote in these five
elections exceed the Democratic vote

Montpelier, VT, Sept 12-Contcsts
among four candidates for the Re-
publican nomination for governor
and three for the nomination of the
same party for congress in the Sec
ond District will be decided at the
Vermont primaries on Tuesday next.
The four men seeking nomination for
chief executive, which usually is
equivalent to election in this state,
are Frank w. Agan, of Ludlow; Fred
H. Babbitt, of Rockingham; Curtis
S. Emery of Newport, and James
Hardness, Of Springfield.
Congressman Porter H. Dale is a
candidate for denomination in the
Second District. He. is opposed by
Ernest w. Gibson of Brattlebore. and
John W. Gordon of Barre. Senator
William P. Dillingham; and Cangress-
man Frank L. Greene arc unopposed
for denomination.
There are no contests for leading
places on the Democratic ticket.
Fred c. Martin of Bennington, will
be nominated for governor.
The Republican gubernatorial
campaign has been lively. The four
candidates have visited all parts of
the State and on several occasions
Rabbit, Emery and Hardness have
spoken from the same platform.
Agan has the support of Governor
Percival Clement.
Opposition to the Prohibition
Amendment and the Volstead en-
forcement act have formed the basis
Of Agan's campaign. On state is
sues he has urged better roads and
higher taxes to pay for. state de-
Velopment
Rabbit has advocated what he
terms a reasonable modification of
Volstead Act. but has laid chief stress
on state affairs. He has demanded
a more efficient method of state ex-
penditures, better rural education, a
revision Of the banking laws and de-
velopment of both agriculture and
industry.
Emery has emphasized the fact
that he is a dry candidate and
that he has always favored woman
suffrage. He has insisted that most
of the state issues are centered in
greater encouragement for agricul-
ture, but also has favored industrial
development.
Hartness has made his campaign
chiefly on a plea for industrial ex-
pansion in Vermont. He has voiced
his recognition of the inter depen-
dence OF manufacturing and farming.
Congressman Dale seeks renomin-
alton upon his record at WASHINGTON.
Gibson bases his candidacy for con-
gress largely upon amendment of the
Volstead Act, advocacy Of the
League of Nations with reservations.
and more elastic system of farm
banking credits. Gordon favors a
budget, maintenance of a Merchant
Marine, increased military training
and an international association
along the lines suggested by Senator
Harding.
The outcome of tho prin,ries is
made more doubtful by the new fac
tor Of the woman's vote All over

large numbers.
