Mrs. Gertrude NJ. Pattangall Of this

ocratic national committee from
Maine, In. q statement Wednesday
says that every Democrat and every
Independent voter. who believes that
the administration Of national az
fairs during the past three and one
half years, has been such as to merit
rebuke, should vote for John W.
Davis for president.
Those who desire to endorse the
present administration and who ap.
prove its record, should vote for
President Coolidge" continues Mrs.
Pattangall There Is no excuse for
any Maine voter supporting LaFol-
lette. Maine will give its electoral
vote to the Republican candidates.
No sensible person expects any other
for Mr.. Davis will have an important
bearing on the future OF the Demo-
cratic party.
"a vote for LaFollette in Maine,
Is for all practical purposes. a vote
for Coolidge. No substantial num-
Der OF Republicans will desert their
candidate in this state. If Demo-
rxats cannot stand together for a
candidate such as we have nominal
Ell this year. there is not much hope
FOR Democratic unity in the future or
much use in attempting to maintain
IL Democratic party in Maine.
Independent voting is thing to
be encouraged but 1t should not be
purposeless and every voter who de-
s!res to see the Democratic party
continue to function, as an active
force in our political life. should be at
the polls Tuesday. Nov. 4. voting for
