HOBBIES
When one Tetires from active life
from all its turmoil, stress and strife,
to spend his closing years, some silly
fad he must pursue, some hobby he
must keep in view, or he'll be soaked
in tears. For idle days drag slowly by
to one who made the gravel fly in
time of pep and strength; and he will
find a hobby pays; it gives some
charm to empty days, and will reduce
their length. l am collecting stovepipe

and seers and poets meek; I have the

years accumulate, and oh, it fills my

When Maine Casts It's Vote
Both Parties Work Desperately to Carry Pine Tree State in
First Fall Election September'11


one of these days, and they have gifted
orators in both branches of congress,
so that they have not been lacking in
spellbinders to carry their MESA &c
and appeal to Maine voters. Conse-
quently if those voters do not know
what to do when they approach the
ballot box il will not be because they
have not been duly instructed and ex.

Voters Not
Wildly Excited
Without violating any condolences,
it may be said that the reports from
Maine thus far reaching Washington
indicate that the voters there ale not
wildly excited over the election. This
may mean that on the whole they are
satisfied with the manner in which
state and national affairs have been
conducted, that they are taking the
campaign in an entirely matter of fact
way and that they will return the nor
NAL Republican majorities. On the
other hand, it may mean an apathy OF
discomfort that will make for Demo
cratic gains.
Predictions are not in order at this
stage of affairs. Chairman Adams, OF
the Republican national committee,
contents himself with saying that he
and his colleagues see no cause for
concern in the situation in Maine.
Democratic chieftains say even less
than that, for while they may be hope
full it is scarcely TO be expected that
they would be confident of winning in
view of the fact that Maine has always

and is one of President Harding's close

| should be greatly reduced, it would be
a blow that would make every Repub-

down the line. Of course it is rot an,
ticipated that his vote will be anything
| in comparison with the Republican
landslide of 1920, but his friends will
be gratified if it is not materially be
low normal. There have been rImors
that the labor vote was being lined VI

closely as a barometer of what may
be expected of the labor vote in other
states in November.

Help the Kidneys
&. Fight That Cold

Colds and grip cause thousands of
cases of kidney trouble. In any germ
disease the system becomes filled with
poisons which the kidneys must filter
off. All too often this extra burden
weakens the kidneys. Then you have
constant backache, headaches and dir
illness; you lack ambition, feel dull,
nervous and depressed. Don't ignore
these warnings! Help the kidneys with
Doan's Kidney Pills. Home folks rec
ommend Doans! Ask your neighbor!
A RICHMOND CASE
Everett Ogborn, city fireman, 722 N.
10th ST., says: "A cold settled on my
kidneys and my back was stiff as a
board. There was a steady ache over
my kidneys and when I stopped, stab
bing pains darted through me. My
kidneys were congested. Doan's Kid
ney Pills procured at Thistlethwaite'
Drug Store put my back and kidneys
in good condition"

only a few months after his election.
He has served almost a full term and
is running On his record and on his
advocacy of the nservation of the
water power resources of the state.
Mr.. Pattangall has served as attor-
ney general of the state, and is rated
as one Of the best campaigners as well
as one of the leading Democrats in
Maine. He is making his fight chiefly
on the economy issue, assailing Gov
ernor Baxter and the Republican adj
ministration as the most extrayag CANT
in the history of the state.
The four Republican congressman
from Maine are candidates to succeed
themselves. They are: Carroll l..
Body, First district; Wallace H.
White, Jr., Second; John z, Nelson,
Third, and Ira G. Hersey, Fourth.
Their Democratic opponents are, re-
spectively, Louis L. Donahue, Bertrand
c. McIntire, Leon 0. Tebbetts and
James w. Seweu.
Inasmuch as only three Democrats
have ever won a congressional election
in Maine-since before the Civil war,
that is-the Republicans are not UNI
easy nor are their adversaries unduly
optimistic. Samuel W. Gould and L.
D. NJ. Sweat, each of whom served A
single term, and Daniel J. McGillicud-
dy, who represented the Third district
for three terms, are the Democrats
who have made history in congress
sional fights in Maine.
The Democrats of Maine elected
governors in 1910 and 1914 and away
back in the seventies and eighties
they were successful in putting over
the head of their state ticket in two
coalitions formed with the Greenback-
ers. In 1910, the year, also, when Nc
Gillicuddy first broke into the house
from the Third district, the result in
Maine in September was especially
prophetic of what was to happen in
the country at large in November, for

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Within a
week the country will have heard from
Maine. The politicians will then have
something tangible upon which to base
their representations as to the result
of the November elections, for the vot-
ers of the Pine Tree state will have
gone to the polls and registered their
sovereign will AS they vote, accord
ing to the time-honored tradition, so
will the country as a whole vote in
November.
On Monday, Sept II, Maine will
elect a governor a United States SEN
ator, four congressman and a state
legislature. When the votes have
been counted and the result announced
either the Republicans or the Demo
Gratis will go into the nationwide cam
paign with renewed hope and cour-
age.
Maine is usually Republican, but al
ways a battle ground. Both parties go
after the state as hungry dogs after a
bone, for the leaders are mindful of
the psychological effect upon voters
throughout the country of gains or
losses in the first state to hold an cleo
ton. This year is no exception to the
rule, and snappy, aggressive fight
has been made. The best speakers at
the command of the Republican and
Democratic committees have been sent
into the state, tons of literature have
been drawn upon freely in order that
the best possible showing may be
made.
The president of the United
States, cabinet ministers and the more
prominent of their senators and con-
gressmen from all over the country
have been making speeches for the
Republican candidates in Maine. The
Democrats have no national officials
to send into the state, but they have
men who hope to be president, vice

people, therefore, in framing a con-
stitution of government to provide for
an equitable mode of making laws, as
we'll as for an impartial interpreta-
ton and IA faithful execution of them;
that every man may at all times find
his security in them" In other words,
a body polite exists for the purposes
of government, and its powers may
extend to complete control over the
lives, liberty and property of its PEG
pie These purposes as stated in the

power of Tanlac in bringing back
their health, strength and working

powerful foe of weakness.

There is not single portion of the

ifies the system and helps you back
