season it is now believed that this
suspected scarcity was due to cn-
matte conditions-the exceptionally
dry season which has prevailed dur
ing the past two months. II Is estt-
mated that birds have not been found
In their usual haunts and that the
hunting was poor the early part OF
the season, but the birds were found
ODE quite numerous in the moist
places. One warden in upper Som
erset county has reported that while
on a recent trip through his district
while he did not see quite as many
birds as conditions earlier in the sea-
son promised, the birds that he has
seen have all been In fine condition.

realized that it has been so very dry
and noisy in the woods that game
has been able to hear the approach
ing hunters a long distance away and
naturally. under such conditions. the
birds have hidden themselves from
the hunter. T.
Every party Of returning hunters
from northern Maine which has call

days or two weeks has unanimously
reported that they were Of the poin-

cartridges of Maine-that their ap-
parent scarcity in October was In
consequence of the warm. dry season.
Birds are now reported by wardens
and hunters as plentiful in nearly all
regions. This statement Is borne out
by the bulletins published in todays
papers by the various railroads or
the state which report partridge plen-
tiful in practically all sections OF
Maine.
Maine is not the only state where
a scarcity OF cartridges has been re-
ported. Similar conditions. accord
ing to the newspapers, have existed
in Massachusetts, and other states.
Many Maine sportsmen noted with
interest an interview with Mr.. VIM
ton w. Mason of Cambridge, Mass,
a bird hunter of note, which appear
ed in a recent issue of the Boston
Globe. After commenting in detail
upon existing conditions. Mr.. Mason
concluded his interview with the
statement that the birds were simply
not in their regular haunts. that with
the coming of a heavy rain, and cold
| weather, they will appear In ,goodly
numbers. This opinion OF this bird
hunter who is we'll known to the lead
ing sportsmen of Maine, is being
borne out in reports coming to the
fish and game department at Angus
ia, almost daily.

Maine Partridge

In response to an inquiry as to
what the department of inland fish,
cries and game had learned about the
disease which was reported in some
newspapers, and by few hunters, as
apparently working havoc among the
partridge (ruffed grouse) of Maine in
some sections. the press representa-

that as yet the department had been
unable to secure any authentic infor-
nation showing that the grouse of
Maine have been affected by any d.
sease.
Wherever 1t has been reported to
the department that dead birds were
being found, the commissioner
promptly forwarded to the warden OF
the district special instructions to
secure one or more specimens Of the
supposed diseased birds. If available.

MIR. MAHONEY Is DUPED

William Mahoney learned-or at
least should have learned-at the
third party convention of the dan
gers that confront one playing with
fire.
For some reason, apparently all
his own, Mr.. Mahoney decided in
arranging for the convention that
communists should be admitted on
an equality with representatives of
other groups. He was sufficiently
warned against such a course, but
insisted upon having his way.
At the last moment he saw for
while the error of his ways and
wanted to keep the communists out.
Then he yielded to their pleas that
it would be unfair to exclude them
after they had come to st. Paul in
response to an invitation-and be-
sides, they said, they had such
small number of delegates that they
would be in helpless minority and
could do nothing. Mr.. Mahoney
walked right into the trap they set
for him.
After they were in he found that
instead of the small number of del
egates they claimed, they had Sc
cretly stacked the convention. They
proceeded to make the best use of
their power, took the convention
away from Mr.. Mahoney and the
conservative delegates and ran it to
suit their own purposes.
The communists wrote the plat
form, which is the most radical
document ever presented to the Am
arcan people by any political body
1t provides for a soviet government
administered by the reddest-eyed
persons who can be found in the
ranks of the farmers and industrial
workers. Rose Pastor Stokes, Alex
ander Howatt, w. z. Foster and c.
E. Reuthenberg are the types they
would place in charge of govern
mental affairs.
Then they made nominations for
president and vice president. They
assured Mr.. Mahoney these were
only provisional and that the candl-
dates would withdraw later in favor
of Senator LaFollette, should he
enter the presidential contest. Once
more Mr.. Mahoney was tricked to
finish. As soon as the nominations
were made the communists proclaim
ed that their candidates would not
withdraw unless Senator LaFollette
met certain conditions-conditi
that could not be accepted by any
man with the least sense of honor
Of self respect.
The communists played clever
hand. The pity of it is that Mr..
Mahoney did not follow the example
of Frank T. Starkey, st. Paul, and
w. J. Taylor, Nebraska, and quit
the the convention.-St. Paul Daily
News.
