To vote wisely and well, it is abso-
lutely necessary that we possess a
large background of information.
history and precedent; and that we
temper our opinions by a measure of
cool and sober judgment
I'VE must develop political con-
seriousness, and come to feel our
selves directly responsible for a part
in making our government as good
and effective as is humanity possible.
Voting also means good deal
more than merely electing people.
It means putting the right people
into the right places-those who will
do what we collectively have decided
ought 10 be done; who will be
ready to back up their promises. and
who will be least likely to err in car
rying them out.

RhOdy's Governor
Continued from Page One)

that they have Il powerful instru-
ment in the ballot but warned them
to use it wisely and carefully as it
is 'double-edGed.'
Chairman Peacock spoke briefly
of State and National issues and the
record which the present admin
istration has already made. and then
explained the plan which lie has for
mulated to he adopted at the next
Republican State Convention for
making equal representation of men
and women on all committees, local,
county and state.
Congressman White emphasized
the necessity of organization in poll
ties and strongly urged the women
TO be consistent members of their
chosen party, pointing out that only
in that way may they accomplish
their wishes. He was most emphat-
ic also in his denunciation of any
movement looking toward a sep
arate party for women as distinct
from men.
A most charming speaker, as we'll
as hostess, was Mrs. White. who told
many interesting bits of her life in
Washington and the part that the
wives of senators and congressman
play in the official life of the CAPT
tai. Robert J. Hodgman and A. l..
kavanaugh. the former chairman of
the Lewiston city Republican COM
mittee, and the. latter chairman of
the Androscosgin county committee.
explained some of the working de-
tails of local organization activities
and urged the women to take an ac-
tive part in all of them, saying that
the men welcome most heartily all
that women can do to improve the
standards of politics.
Miss Anna Dingley, Androscoggin
county member of the Women's Re-
publican State Committee, presided
over the meeting and it vas her I'M
firing activity. with the able assist
ance of Mrs. Roy Hodgdon, county
chairman, which contributed to its
success
Mrs. Gannett struck the keynote
of the meeting with her appeal for
continuous activity and interest. She
spoke in part as follows:
1--WE believe that the republican
party is better able to carry on the
management of our government than
any other, else we would not be re-
publicans. We also believe that it
is human and fallible, and we hold
no delusions that it is irreproachable
and unable to make mistakes. We
want it to be as perfect as any hu-
man agency for accomplishment can
be; and therefore it is a part of our
duty TO keep a close watch upon it
all the time-to hold it and its elect
ed officials to strict accountability:
to back them up to the limit when
we think they are right, and OF de-
mand their reasons for action when
we think they are wrong.
This applies both to men and to
women. and perhaps needs to be
said to both: for often the average
citizen falls down in the business of
citizenship more completely, though
not quite so publicly as some Of his
elected representatives appear to do.
Good citizenship is an all the-year-
around job, that lasts as long as we
are interested in the welfare of our
selves and of our State.
Voting means a good deal more
than marking crosses on a ballot.

Babes Sub Shines
Fewster's work for the Yankees in
Ruins place was such that no Yam
kee ran was heard making the
babes" absence an excuse for the
defeat. The spry Baltimorean
covered lots of ground in the fields
pulling off. for one thing, a rafting
catch of a foul fly close to the
bleachers. besides inserting his hon.
or into the proceedings.
The Yankees got away to a flying
start In the first inning. Fewster
drew base on balls, watched Peck
inpaugh foul out and went to second
on Mlller's single to short Bob
Meusel shot a single to center on
which Fewster scored, Miller taking
thlrd. Pipp grounded out and Ward
scored Miller and Meusel on a clean
single to center. This was enough
Tor Toney and Barnes finished the
inning, McNally flying out to Young.
Plenty Of Hitting
The Giants had no trouble in
matching the Yankees three runs in
the second. AS with the Hugmen,
a base on balls led the way 1t
went to Kelly, who trotted home when
Irish Meusel poled a home run in to
the right field stand. Rawlings flied
to Miller and Snyder lifted a circuit
drive into the left field bleachers
seats tieing the score. Barnes singh
ed and Shawkey relieved Harper.
Burns, the first man to face him, lac
ed a single to right, Bancroft struck
out and Frisch flied to Bob Meusel.
In the Yankees half in the second
they forged ahead on Shawkey's sin
gle and Fewster's home run into the
left field bleachers. That ended the
American Leaguers' scoring for the
day. No Yankee got farther than
second base during the remainder of
the game.
Giants Big Fourth
The McGraw men in winning the
game in the fourth, made four runs
on four hits, a sacrifice, steal and
an error by McNaly. The bases
Barnes singles and Burns sacrifice,
McNally making a poor throw to
nail burns at first. Snyder and Barn
cs rushed home on Bancrofts single
to left. Bancroft was forced at sec
ond by F'risch, Burns scoring. Frisch
stole second, Young struck out and
FriSch scored on Kelly's single to
right. Kelly tried to steal and was
thrown out by Schang.
The Giants added another run in
the sixth inning. Captain Bancroft
singled to left and went to second
when Frisch walked and was thrown
out trying to steal third as Young
famed. Frisch went to second on the
play at third. %Hc scored moment
later when Kelly raped single
to center. Irish Meusel ended the in
ming by flying out. After that only
two Giants saw first base both getting
there on singles in the ninth inning
off Piercy. One Of them, Young, was
thrown out irving to steal.
The probable batteries for tomor-
rows game arc Douglas and Snyder
for tho Giants and Mays and Schang
for the Yankees.
