WASHINGTON With the excep; tion of 1920, one has to go back 22 years In the history of Maine politic to find where a Republican candidate for Governor in that state was elected by a majority equal to the majority by which the N Republicans elected Iheir Governor in the elections held September 11. In 1900 the Republi can candidate for Governor in Maine was elected by 'a majority of 84,000. In le elections just held the Repub ' lican candidate, Percival P. Baxter, was elected by a majority of 29,000 over his Democratic opponent. The following table shows the result of Maine elections for the last 20 years: Year.

Governor- v 65,116 Repub. .From the above table it will be seen that Senator Frederick Hale was elected, in 1916 by a plurality of 10, 274. His plurality this year is 27, 000. After making all allowances possible for the addition hi the total vole due to the enfranchisement of women, it is plain that Senator Hale won a grreater "victory this year than he dU in 1916. w The four Republican candidates for Congress were elected by majorities ranging from 4,200 to 11,000. Rep resentative White, wh represents the second district ,won by a margin of 4,237. This district the Demo crats expected to carry. Mr. White Was first elected from this dis trict in 1918 by a margin of537. Prior to that time it had been repre sented by a Democrat' Some idea of the sweeping Repub lican victory in Maine may be ob tained from the fact that the Repub licans carried every county by sub; antial margins and carried 16 of the 20- cities. The campaign was "con ducted with considerable intensity by both parties. The Democratic party 7 " ALL SHOULD TAKE -, . v . ' ' AMTl TYPHOID TREATMENT ' The results of the Typhoid-Dipthe- .'fia clinics held st Morehead Cityand Beaufort, on Saturday were very grat ifying. But we had mostly children. It is very win to give the children a . ehanee to be protected, and .they should be, but PARENTS, HOW A BOUT YOURSELVES? There seems to be some misunder standing as to the ages to take it The following is taken from the Pub lie, Health Bulletin: , "Repeatedly one hears that child ren under five, and adults over fifty rarely have, typhoid fever Death certificates art on file at the office of. the North Carolina State' Board of Health, showing that during the years of 1914, 1915, 1916 and 1917, there were 262 deaths (a our State from ty phoid fever In children under five years of age and 261 In adults above fifty.''- , i '; .-V-"" v five are said to have died from this disease' above the age of 86 end 28 under one yeari :.

' CkL. OUTLAND Jl. D. 'Health Officer V Republican Marsrin Greatest in was well financed and very aggres sive. V It is regarded especially significant that the speakers for the Democratic party1 in the Maine campaign, espec ially those sent in by the Democratic national organizations made it a point to address meetings of strikers at every opportunity and , encourage them in their hostile attitude toward industrial peace and the upholding! ef law and order. The effort of the Democratic, organization to appeal to the radical and discontented elements in the state is taken as indicative of the attitude of the party in the ap proaching Congressional elections. There is every reason to believe the Democratic organization expects to make common cause in, every state with the- radical elements. , There is no' concealment of the fact in Democratic circles that the result in Maine has taken the heart out of the Democratic fight for the control of the next Congress. The cold reception which they received in Maine and the tremendous major ities roljed up against them' there in every Congressional district as well as in the Senatorial fight was a dis tinct shock and disappointment to the Democratic leaders. Prior to the elec tion they blasted that ibey expected te carry -at least one Congressional and whittle the Republican plurali ties down to a very thin margin. The only comfort they obtained out of the results was that the Republican aaualities were not as large as they were in 1920, which was a morf'thronout e State will be asked to breaking year for Republican plural, ities everywhere. Csrdell Hull, Democratic National Chairman,' attempts to show that on the percentage basis the Democratic vote was satisfactory. He must be easily satisfied. ,The Republican can didates for Governor and United States Senator polled 69 per cent of the total vote. In 1916, when Maine was carried hjr the Republicans for President, Governor and two United States -Senators. Senator Fernald led the ticket with a plurality of 13r 118, which represented only 54 per cent of the total vote cast He led the ticket again in 1918 when he was reelected to ' succeed himself, when he (received 25jper &nt of the total vote cast. "The percentage of the totapvpte received by')he Republican candidates this year was greater ;than for, a period of 20 years, with the exception 01920. h TRICKY YOUNG BEAR.

The announcement, which was con tained in, a telegram from Mrs. Van-H derbilt to Col.

People from Newport, the countryside, Beaufort, Morehead City and elsewhere came in cars, buggis, wagons, and by train to participate in the festivities. The weather was cool and fine and all ap parently enjoyed the day, , N. ' J. Sigmon, superintendent of the school had charge of the exer cises and opened them with a short speech in which he said .that the dream of suitable building for the school children of the community had 'at last come true. Te build ing itself was a great advantage but that there were other f things even more important than a fine building, namely Jhe education of the children and the moulding of their characters into fine men and womeri. ' . v The ' first speaker of the day was C. B.Williams deanf of agriculture in the State College of Agriculture I k"u cnvineenng. uis remarxs were I addressed directly to the fanners who J composed a majority of those in the .'audience. Dr. Williams made a t! 1 '..L t. . iu.uui jpcevu mi uie inrmvrs, say ing that on account of the boll wee. yila it -would not be profitable to grow cotton on a large scale as formerly and that other crops must be added. His advice was to play safe by pro ducing crops, that would provide food for the family and live v stock and some that would bring in money at variouaeeasons'of the year. The Reverend Mr, Cade , of the Methodist church of Morehead City 1 was the second speaker and he made an interesting address. He said that the greatest thing in the world was the child and training the ( minds of the children was absolutely necessary to fit them for good citizenship. He showed the difference between the trained and the untrained man or WOman and said the leaders of . the world had always been educated peo ple, i 1 At the conclusion of Mr. Cade's speech Mr, Sigmon said he wanted' . - .1. i : .t. . Accompanied by the lively strains of the Beaufort School band the audi ence repaired to a lot across the street from the school building where a long row of tables with bam, chick. en biscuits, cakes, pies and other good etables invited their attention, j Every body ate as much as they ' could take care of, and then after hear ing some more music at about 2 o' clock returned to the school sudi. torium and hesrd the conclusion of the day's program. Superintendent Sigmon introduced E, Walter Hill of Beaufort as a son of Newport, who waa equal to the oratorical requirements of the day. Mr. Hill responded eloquently end forcefully. He referred to the time when he as a boy had attended a school where. ther were no backs to the .benches and where the ground could b seen' through the cracks in the floor, , He praised those who hsd made it possible to erect the msgni fidtnt building the children sow hare and stressed in strong terms the val ue .-ef an education .The next event was a piaao , sol by Miss Nichols the 'music., teacher of the school and this was heard with great interest by theaudience. ' ' V W.'Cf, Mebane, editor of the Beau, fort News" was .called' on by Mr. Sigmon as a rpreeeatative of , the press' and responded in a short talk which showed the cause of North Carolina's backwardness in edune ttonal matters and progress which the State is making along all lines.
