TODEAD DOG HAD
POLITICAL EFFECT
Former Governor Baxter of
Maine Lost Race for

WASHINGTON. March Ii
Strange little edd;es stir big whirl.
pools in political waters, as the story
which is being told around Wash.
ington about the death of a dog
and it's affect upon the senatorship
in Maine attests.
1t is related that Governor Baxter
of Maine had a dog of which he was
very fond whileI he was chief execu.
tive of the State and that during his
term of office the dog died. In grief
at the death of his pet, attaches at
the executive mansion lowered a flag
to half-mast.
This use of the flag in honor of a
pet was resented by certain patriatic
organizations and something of an
issue was made of it in the primary
campaign.
Until that issue had been brought
up the betting had favored Governor
Baxter 1t may not alone carry the
onus OF his defeat and the subse-
quent election of his opponent, but
it played a very important part in
developments of his life, just as the
little piece of string on a mans coat
formed the basis of important events
in the story of Balzac called "a Lit.
tie Piece of String"
Similarly it is related that a for
mer Senator from Kansas when that
State had state prohibition before
national prohibition, dropped a re-
mark in jest which was used after
ward to defeat him.
Asked how prohibition was get
ting along in his State, the Senator
is supposed to have replied:
"Oh, we're getting along all right.
The vets haze all the liquor they
want and the drys have all the law
they want and everyone is satisfied"
His friends say the remarks were
made as a joke, but speakers who
used them in the campaign put Such
a serious Interpretation upon them
that the Senator was defeated.

EASILY
 BEATS " TEAM
Eddy-GloVer Nine Wins by the Score of fl to6

The American Legion baseball team took an easy contest from the Y. M. C. A. team in the Junior City 1 League last night by an II to $ score. It was a postponed affair. At no time was the Legion team in danger as Grammitt allowed only one hit up to the eighth inning when
 the "Y" team slapped out five bingles.
 At this point the game was stopped by rain and it is doubtful if the Legion would have won out If the game had been played through to a finish because the "" batters were finding the Legion pitcher after
 being baffled for seven innings. ! Recano was the only Y. M. C. A. 1 batter to solve Grammitt's pitching until the eighth inning. He hit hard grounder through short that was too hard to handle and it went for hit. In the eighth frame, he also collected two-bagger. Rudy" Gatting, the diminutive catcher for the "Y" team. caught pretty game and also hit pretty two-bagger to score two men in the eighth.
 The Legion men played clean, steady baseball and also hit good.
 Leardi got hold of a fast one for a
 circuit drive. Bogdanski, Sapkow- ski and Lipman got two baggers and Iipman added a single. "Waddy" Chodukiewicz fielded nicely. The summary:
