Maine Democratic
Women Open Institute
Politics at Portland

Portland, Me, Dec. "A group of
nearly 100 Maine women assembled
Tuesday morning in the State of
Maine room at the Falmouth hotel
for the serious study of that greatest
of all American games-politics.
The opening session of what has
been designated at the Institute of
Politics and School of Democracy
began at 10 o'clock when Mrs. w. 4.
Pattangall called to order and after
a few words of opening, introduced
Mrs. Halsey Wilson who is the in
structor at the school.
While neither Mrs. Patangall nor
Mrs. Wilson set up any claims of
non craftsmanship, frankly avowing
that the object of the school was to
educate women of Maine who adj
hered to the democratic faith, as to
how they could best advance that
party's cause, Mrs. Pattangall did
announce that in the hope of better
government, better understanding
and better living they had secured
some speakers who were not OF the
democratic belief.
Hon. w. r. Pattangall of Angus
ia, the speaker of the morning, dis
cussed the difference between the
Democrats and the Republican par
ties. He felt that the present. ten
dency to make use of this theory,
was due to the fact that some issues
which came up, were not always
clearly defined, but he asserted
that there still is and always will
be a definite line of division between
the Democratic and Republican par
ties.
Mr.. Pattangall deplored the fact
that there was a tendency to let mat
ters which he termed "cross cur
rents" come into politics where they
had no place. He cited prohibition
as one of those cross-currents. He
said that neither the Democratic nor
the Republican parties had ever de-
clared for or against National prohi-
bition. 1t was made law by the
vote of members of both parties in
the House of Congress.
1t was endorsed in the same way
in the various states. 1t was never
party matter and never should be,
yet he feared that it would be
brought into the coming campaign.
Mr.. Pattangall touched briefly on
the subject of tariff, Capitalization
of government. method of electing
presidents and general political af-
fairs.

Detectives John Huff and Joseph
Gutowski this morning into the re-

valued at $1,000 from Maurice An
