League, He Declare S

State Senator Guy +. Gannett, ma
tional committeeman from Maine, re-
ported to the Republican National COM
mittoe conference in this city yester-
day that Maine would go for Harding
and Coolidge by 10000 on September
10. Following the conference he said:
Harding and Coolidge will carry
Maine by 10000. 1t may be more, but
it is hardly likely that it will be less.
We hope that the old saying will pre-
vail, AS goes Maine, so goes the
Union The Republicans are ready for
the battle on September 10. The Re-
pubicans of Maine are more thorough
y united than in long time. We ex-
pect the largest majority ever cast.
Two years ago Senator Fernald was
elected by about 5000 Carl E. MILL
ken was elected Governor four wears
ago by about $4,000.
Against Wilson League
"This year there is the greatest in
terest in Republican principles and
policies Maine people feel the ncces-
sity of having a change in the admin
istration at Washington. The Republic
ony in the state, in glariag contrast
with that of the Democrats in Wash
ington. The leading issues as we see
them are decentralization at Wash
ington and the League of Nations.
Maine Republicans are against the
Wilson League of Nations. We are for
the Lodge reservations in league, but
not the Wilson league.
Six weeks ago we formed flying
squadron to visit every Congressional
district in the state for the purpose of
helping the women organize. We
travelled 1000 miles. AS a result of the
vigorous work done this summer the
women or the state are as we'll or
gained as the men. The men are CO.
operating in every way possible
Republicans of Maine believe that
Governor Cox is insincere and not to
be trusted. They believe that Harding
is just the man for the head of the
national government in time of I'M
settled business and social unres t.
While the people generally would like
to have some kind OF a league of na-
tons ratified and out of the way, they
will not stand for the Wilson league.
Our people believe that if any one can
make a workable international agree
ment binding us with other nations the
Republicans are the only ones who can
do it.
Want Tax Reduction
The farmers of Maine are inter
csted in d reduction of taxation and in
the nigh cost of living. They want
the old-fashioned virtues Of thrift and
economy.
The Republican state leaders are
confident of electing Colonel Frederick
H. Parkhurst Governor over Bertrand
G. McIntire; Carroll L. Beedy over
Frank H. Haskell in the LIST Congress
sional District; Representative Wal
lace II. White jr., grandson of the
late Senator Frye. over DR.. Wallace n.
Price in the I'd District; Representa-
tive John A. Peters over Archie C,
Towle, in the third, and Representative
Ira c. Hersey over Leon G. c. Brown
in the 4th THIS will give US a clean
sweep Of the Representatives in Con
gress. We elected all four two years
ago and we expect to do as well again
this September.
"ln addition to the Offices to be filed
there is a suffrage referendum to be
voted on and a proposed bond issue Of
$4,000 900 for bonuses for soldiers.
Altogether we expect to have a hot
election, with a record breaking vote
