Maine to Go 100000
For Coolidge Is
Prediction of Gov.

On being asked to make a pre-
diction as to the size Of President
Coolidge's majority in Maine on No
vember 4th. Governor Baxter said:
THE slogan OF Maine Republicans
should be Maine 100000 for Cool
idge.' There Is no reason why this
cannot be done and 1t would be
splendid to have Maine give our New
England President the greatest ma
jority ever given in our 103 years of
statehood.
This l believe will be done. I
doubt II the Democrats can poll
more than 10000 votes and the Re-
publicans by making a special effort
can poll 10000. We set such a
splendid example to the rest of the
country in our September election
that we must go over the top with
an even larger majority in Novem-
Der.
II wish that I might have been
able to enter into the campaign in
other states. as l was invited to do
by the Speakers Bureau of the Ma
tional Committee. There are so
many things however to be attended
to In closing up an administration
OF four years that I felt under an
obligation to remain at home. My

Lawlessness General
The word is on everybody's lips"
Dean Hawkes. said, "that we are
living in an age of contempt of
law. During recent years men in
every field Of thought and activity
have shown a strong tendency to
get away from the principles that
have been generally assumed and
accepted for generations"
''In art, music and poetry, in
education and philosophy, the idea
of conformity to q standard outside
Of the individual is not thought OF.
In fact, the existence Of such a
standard is frequently denied.
Religion, dress, amusement, all re-
veal a similar falling away from a
regard for any fundamental prin.
ciple. We are just as lawleSg in
music, philosophy and manners as
we are in our capacity as citizens.

pupil his interests; the youth his

This general lawlessness cannot
be blamed upon the breaking Of one
law alone, Dean Hawkes. stated.
Zone cannot lay the blame for
our general disregard for all law
on the failure Of the community to
observe one particular law" he said.
"Of course, to feel a lack of re.
etraint leads us to break a law and
the breaking Of a law increases our
lack Of restraint and so on we go.
But the fundamental difficulty Is
deeper. 1t can be traced to the at.
tempt OF the younger generation to
work out it's own life. Each OF us
