THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION

THE CON1n6SStONAI EI6SIISN
Names Third Congressional Dis
trict gave a good account of itself
yesterday despite the severe storm,
and other adverse conditions.
The returns received at the time Of
writing indicate a very gratifying
majority for Hon. John Z. Nelson,
the Republican candidate.
When the returns are all In they
will not afford the national Democrat
ic organization any real comfort,
notwithstanding the active interest it
has taken In the contest, and the
evidence OF its financial support.
The record Of special elections in
this State shows that invariably
small vote is polled. The only COM
parison possible Is with the land
slide of 1920, when the women voted,
though this really affords no fair
comparison, the Republican majority
being beyond all expectations. A re-
action was, in the nature Of things.
inevitable The storm undoubtedly
kept many from the polls. especially
In the rural districts. The echoes Of
the primary contest contributed to
Republican apathy in some quarters,
and encouraged Democrats to put
forth their strongest efforts.
II the Republican candidate had not
been a strong candidate he would
rot have won with the forces oppos-
ing him.
Look at Waterville, the community
that had known John E. Nelson from
boyhood to matured manhood and
knew him root and branch. In the
Republican landslide of 1920 the
Democrats carried that city by a
plurality Of 272. John Nelson car
ried it by plurality of ISL. a gain
OF 1853 votes.

the Democrats expected to accom-
plish read-we would not recommend
i. for a regular practice-the Boston
American. large numbers Of which
were sent to Augusta for free dis
tribution. Monday. This announces
in glaring headlines: -Four Power
Treaty Faces Rebuke In Maine Elec-
ton"
This affords direct proof Of what
the Journal all along has contended,
that this election was regarded of
significant national interest. Thanks
to those who realized this and acted
upon 1t, and to the strength Of the
candidate, the result is such as to
give the Republican party and the
Harding administration splendid en-
enlargement in the tremendous task
that confronts 1t.

"A. r, FROST"

The mystery was explained, Mon
day.
The Democrats used this fictitious
name. "a. r. Frost" appended to
their scurrilous propaganda, evident
ly thinking that at the proper time
they would explain that it stood for
"A Republican Frost"
When they found they were liable
to get into trouble for transgressing
the law Of 1921 regulating political
advertising, they kept mum.
What was started for "A Republic
can Frost" turned out to be A Demo-
cratic Frost.
Chickens have a habit OF coming
home to roost.

The Call Of Spring

Voices of spring-tmc are calling,
Calling me back TO the hills,
Back to the green fields and meadows,
Back to the brooks and the rills;
Calling me back to the orchards,
Fragrant in blossoming trees.
Back where the understanding lilacs,
Nod to the kiss of the bees:
Calling me back where the bluebells
Hide in the grass on the hill,
Back where the lily-buds golden
Grow in the pond by the mill:
Calling me back to the song birds,
Filling the morn with their joy,
Eacis to the old country farmhouse.
Back where l played when boy.
Voices of spring-time are calling.
Calling me back to the hills,
Homo from the noise of the city,
Homo to the brooks and the rills.

from Bangor: John d. Wainwright
of Mcddybcmps Sunday started to
count the peas in jars said to contsin
100000 of them. If there is exact
~ that number, Wainwright Will
have to eat them, but if that figure is
one out of the way, Henry Parish
must do so.
1t started in an argument on
Washington Birthday. Parish Of
fercd to bet $3.50 that he could count
100000 peas in u month and VAIN
wright took him up. After he had
counted out 100000, Wainwright
suggested that they amend the wager
to read that if the count was inccr-
rect Parish would eat the peas, while
Wainwright would do SO if it was
correct. Parish counted the first
100000 over again and was filled
with nervous dread when he found
that he was three peas out of the
way. He proceeded with the count
with the utmost care and Saturday
night announced that it was finished.
Wainwright offered to assume the
count was correct and pay Parish
$3.50 if he would waive tho eating
clause, but Parish refused to do so.

Senator Reeds Achievement

However. Mr.. Reeds speech, when
