MAINE CAMPAIGN
 IS L|STLESS ONE'
Republican Majority Expected to Be Cut-Women Are
 Taking Part

 Portland, Me. September 9.- Maine will end q nstless political campaign on Monday. Although universally regarded as the 'barome- ter state," tabulation of whose re- suit will show the trend of public opinion that will prevail at the gen eral elections in November, this year the politicians have found it difficult to get voters interested in the issues.
 It is generafly expected that the entire republican ticket will be suc- | cessful but the most optimistic or the republican leaders do not be- lievs that the figures of two years ago can be squaled. At that time 1 Frederick H. Parkhurst, who died before he could take office, had a plurality of nearly e6.o0o. The dem ocratfc leaders. publicly claiming success for their ticket by 10000, will be satisfied if they can cut the re- publican plurality down to . negli- l gible figure.
 | Baxter to Win
 Peroival P. Baxter, candidate of the republicans for reelection for governor, Is expected to run ahead of his ticket because of his avowed | opposition to the federal maternity | bill which his oponent, William R. Dattangin of Augusta, former state attorney general, is supporting. The democratic candidate has made a sweeping campaign, having been on the stump almost continuously since lsat June, while former Governor Baxter only recently took the stump. Baxter. In his few speeches. has stood on his record as governor, which has been attacked as inefficient and sx- travagant by Pattangill.
 | There is much interest in the ssn- | atorial campaign. where the incum- bent. Frederick Hale. Is opposed by Oakley O.. Curtis. former governor, coal magnate and influential business man. Hale has made only . few ] speeches, remaining in Washington until this week, but he closed his campaign with a speech at the clos 1 ing rally in this oity Saturday night. His opponent has assailed his re- cord in every section of the state | and has insisted that he did not rep 1 I0bSnt -uo PoOPi0s III OuT lOQT COt- 1 gressional districts, the fight has been a strenuous one. but unless I something unexpected develops at the polls. the sitting republicans will be l returned.
 1 While the stats has not been l flooded, as was the case in former | years, with the leading lights of both parties to debate the issues. the women have played | very promi- nent part. Some of the best known | feminine orators pf both sides have been on the stump. Miss Betsy Ed | wards of Indiana and Mrs. Mary | Flight of Illinois have led the speakers for the republicans. while Mrs. Lillian Sire of New York has been the chief "keynoter" on the democratic side.

and invariably, at the afternoon ral- lies, which have been largely attend ed by women voters, tea has been served and the speakers of the oc- casion have mingled personally with the audiences.
 Mondays election win mark tho entry of women into state politics as candidates for office. There are no women aspirants this year for the major offices but there are eight feminine candidates for tho state legislature. Six of these are demo- crats in normally strong republican districts--running as forlorn hopes but the other two are republicans in districts where their party predomi- mates so that they very likely Will be elected.
 By a rather odd coincidence both these latter are graduates of Mount Holyoke college. one or them. Miss Kettle Burleigh of Vassalboro, being relative of the late Edwin c.

The other, Mrs. Dora Pink ham of Fort Kent. in addition to graduating from Mount Holyoke took postgraduate course at Columbia was for a time q school teacher, later a banker. and only lately TO- tired from the business world when she married.
 Both paties have organized ther women in this campaign and this IS expected to help the democrats be- cause in tho 1920 struggle there was no organized effort to fnterest the demo~~Atic women.

HERE'S A WARNING

United States health officials are
sending broadcast a warning against
growing careless now that spring is
approaching and subjecting yourself
10 sudden changes of temperature. A
return of the flu in a mild form has
been noted in several sections, and we
need only recall the terrible death-list
from this disease of a few years ago
to remind us that it is scourge to be
Stunned. Open weather at this sea-
son invites colds and pneumonia, and
weakened system is very apt to con-
tract case of flu, the most deadly
lung trouble known. Guard well the
ventilation of your office, store, shop
or home. Take Uncle Sans advice
and steer clear of stuffy rooms. Get
all the. fresh air you can, but dress
comfortably and avoid unnecessary
exposure. All of this is easy to do
far easier than to pay doctor bills OF
leave a lot of relatives and friends
behind to mourn your carlessness.

RUSSIA

The cry for help is received in every
letter from Russia. Conditions in
that country are in serious condi-
tion and unless help is received in
short time the people there must
starve for the want of food. 1t costs
just 10000 rubles to send a letter to
this country from Domhof, Russia, on
the Volga river. The following letter
has just been received by Mr.. Henry
Steinbrecker of Clinton Township,
west of town:
Domhof, Russia
Dear Brother:
We are still all quite well but we
are very poor. The cause has been
the war and then several crop failures.
We have bread once a month, other
wise our meals consist of cabbage
and pumpkins. ESQ have died in our
village in the past year. All have
died from starvation. Many corpses
are lying in the cemetery unburied
because the people are too weak to
dig them graves. l therefore call upon
you dear friends in America. Help
US if you possibly can.
The American Relief is at present
| feeding 1900 children once a day,
under IA years of age. And you can't
imagine how thankful we are. May
God bless Amreica for what she is do

hear from you.
Your dear Brother,

CONCRETE HIGHWAYS
ARE PREFERRED

tween here and Wapakoneta, twenty
miles, and extending six miles west
of here, making one stretch of twenty
six miles. Six more miles will be |
built to that this summer, making
one stretch from the Indiana State
line to Wapakoneta, 80 miles.
We now need eight more miles of
concrete to complete thirty-five miles
from here to Greenville, four and one-
half miles will be built this year. We
now can go all the way to Dayton
from here over concrete road, except
ing two miles, distance of 80 miles.
About month ago there was a.
mass meeting called to accept or re-
ject the six miles running west from
Celina, which will connect us with
the Indiana State line, and the vote
was unanimous for the road, and byl
the way that road is not used one hun,
dredth part as much as your Bryan,
Toledo Pike. People living on this six
miles have been driving over six miles
of concrete for the last two or three
years, and when they drop off the
concrete into the mud of a gravel,
road, it makes them want cement.
l can not understand why any one
living on a heavily main travelled road
would consent to anything other than
concrete. The first cost might be a
little more, but the upkeep in ten or
6fteen years will more than Offset the
difference.
With kindest regards to my former
Fulton County friends, am as ever,
Respectfully yours,
John A. Cron
Mr.. Cron for a number of years
was in the hardware and garage
business in Wauseon. His ability and
honesty as a business man won him
many friends in Fulton County.
In speaking of the value and gen.
eral satisfaction of concrete roads,
Mr.. Cron knows of what he speaks,
as his acquaintance is very wide in
Mercer County, enabling him to in
telligently express himself as to the
public sentiment towards future high
way construction in their County.
By building these kind of roads
does not cost the taxpayers more
money, but saves them many thou
sands of dollars on maintenance and
repairs, giving them road that will
stand heavy traffic without being re-
built every few years. These are the
only kind of roads to build where
traffic is heavy but gravel is the best
where there is only light traffic.

LINCOLN DAY BANQUET
HELD AT DEFIANCE
GREAT ADDRESS

The annual Lincoln Day Banquet
that is popular among the 9Th Con-
gressional District Republicans was
held at the Masonic Building in De-
iance, Monday with banquet at 1900
o'clock noon.
There were nearly $50 present to
partake of the sumptuous meal that
was served by the Defiance men.
DR.. G. D. Edgar of Defiance was
The toastmaster and chairman of the
committee on arrangements. He call
ed the meeting to order and the first
number on the program was a song
oy Julius j. Blair of Toldeo. He sang
several very fine solos and held his
audience with his wonderful baritone
oice.
The first speaker on the program
vas Congressman C. ], Thompson, he
gave some very interesting figures in
the way of money that has been saved.
thousands, yes millions of dollars
were wasted during the war ard it
mas been up to the present congress
to cut out lot of this waste which
has been done. He spoke of the
tariff law and how it has saved the
taxpayers a great deal of money, and
he said that they will feel it more
all the time as it is put into effect.
MIR. Thompson says he is seeking no
lederal appointment. He declared
hImself a candidate for a third term.
The next speaker introduced was
Congressman Frank Crowther, of
Schenectady, N. Y, who was the
speaker of the day. He is a very
forcible speaker. He spoke of the
emergency tariff law, now in force,
which is tending to keep foreign food
stuffs out of the American markets
and that its beneficial effects are just
beginning to be felt. He also touch
ed on the Muscle Shoals project and
the prospect of it being sold to Henry
Ford, asserting that the price was

too low, and that nowhere in the pro
posed contract does Ford agree to
prdouce cheap fertilizer. This pro-
Ject has cost the government an enor-
nous sum of money and no good has
come from it. No nitrate has been
produced. Another Democratic waste.
He said that wages never are GO
ing back to pre-war levels. The peo-
pie who toll don't want them. For
ward march is the motto of the
doughboy, the devil dog and the toll
er. 1t is unfair of the capitalistic
class to take advantage of the toiler
and grind him down when there is no
coal in the cellar, no flour in the bin
Il want the Republican party to
develop into a party not for capital,
not for labor, but party for all the
plain felix's"
He defended the seating of New
berry of Michigan.
The repeating of the Lever Law and
the espsonage act and the enacting
the budget plan has saved the tax
payers $400,0O0,O00 year.
W. H. Phipps spoke a few words in
behalf of the state government: He
said Gov. Davis has given Ohio the
best kind of government, as good as
any one could possibly give under the
existing circumstances.
Marshall Geo. Stauffer said he had
more booze in hi possession than any
other person in Ohio. He has more
than 250,000 gallons of illicit liquor.
The following were present from
Wauseon: DR. Bernath, County Sur
