tation and fame lis youth and abilities have
enabled him 10 achieve, and triumphantly call on
every elector, to weigh well the transcendant
advantages Of MIR. LongfeIlow. If Mr.. Ander-
son is respectable for talents, Mr.. Longfeow is
surpassed by no one in the State. If in the
shot time during which Mr.. Anderson has been
before the public, his integrity has not been
challenged, MIR. Longfellow, has passed the
ordeal which tried mems souls, and now stands
preemnent for ever thing estimable and great.
Has Mr. A. Just entered the race round of pro-
fessional excellence, MIR. Longfellow is now a
conqueror at the goal. Without therefore dis
paraeing the ntnS of Mr.. Anderson, we may
safely say thadRas}r respective claims do not
admit of a com k4rison. Now il is that the cleo
tors of this district have the rare and enviable
opportunity of sending TO their national coun-
ellis an eminent lawyer, an able statesman, and
an honest man. Hitherto his retiring modesty
and his private duties have alike forbidden his
accepting the suferages of his fellow citizens.
He has at last given reluctant coHsent to their
wishes And now perhaps the only chance is
offered, Of paying just tribute TO this great and
good man, and OF showing how much we res
pect ourselves aud country. For many years
has it been urged that our claims for expendi-
lures during the last war, are more safely
entrusted 10 those VINO would be considered the
only friends of administration. The experiment
has been made, and we have met the disappont-
ment which there was every reason TO expect.
What voice was heard in Congress during its last
session in support of the claims of Maine !?
Where was the able defence of our rights we
bad been SO frequently promised All has been
hushcd s. silent as the grave. And. where must
we finally rely for our success On exertions to
which talents and experience like those pos
! sessed BY MIR. Longfellew are alone adequate.
lie has conscientious belief in the unquestion-
able justice Of our cause, and he has the ability
and will to be its advocate. In Congress it IS
that every thing finds its level. Talents, weight
of character and wears are the indispensable
requisites for influence, & party names are daily
sinking into their deserved insignifcance. Who
then can doubt that if by our votes at the next
election we place Mr.. l.. where his eminent
qualifications must make him conspicuous, we
shall have the proud satisfaction Of seeing and
feeling his endeavors TO promote our best inter
ests. Honored and beloved at home, he must be
! useful and respected abroad. Electors, our ex-
ertions must be crowned with success. 1t can
not bee that upright and enlightened men will
hesitate. BY our united effort, on which we
shall hereafter look back with unaIloyed delight,
we shall surmount every opposing difficulty, and
at the same time reward merit and eusure 10
ourselves invaluable advantages.

IF the subject was before a committee of the

severely upon the mechanic interest, upon com

you individually, Mr.. Mechanic, Mr.. Farmer and

You answer STEPHEN LoNGFE1Low, TO be
sure But do you not know, gentlemen, that a
bill is pending ia Congress, whose object is to levy
an additional tax upon you, 10 encourage manu-
featuring establishments? BY this bill, which
met the appreciation of your late representative,
whom, as he has fallen into the hands OF his

PORTLAND. TUESDAY. APRIL l. 1929.

Those who vote for Mr.. LoNGFELLow at the
ensuing election on Monday next, are requested
to see that Junior is added TO his name, or else
the vote nav be lost there are two of bis name
in this District. Those who make up the returns
are likewise cautioned on the same subject.
In holding Up STEPHEN LONGFELLOW,
Junior for the SURFACES of his fellow citizens, we
cannot but be inspired with confidence OF sue
cess. We believe there is good spirit pervad-
ing this community, and that the majority OF the
electors, will select for the high stations OF hon.
or and trust, men whom they will not hesitate TO
pronounce, best qualified to fill them. Ihey nave
known Mr.. LoNGFELLow, by successful course
OF practise at the bar, for more than twenty years
he stands at the head ofhs profession Ia this coun-
", in learning, in eloquence and integrity. lie
is man above all others that they would employ
If their lives, their property or their reputation,
were at stake. And there is no advocate that
we know OF, that would be 50 likely to bring them
off unscathed.
Are not these good grounds Of confidence in
the election Of Mr.. LoNGFELLow We are
reasoning with reasonable men, with men who,
we are to suppose, exercise the same vigilance
in the management of the farm of the public, as
Of their own. knowing them to be skilful IN
their private concerns selecting with care the
best agents for different sorts and degrees OF la
bour, it is fair to infer, that they viii carry their
good Judgment little into their choice of pe-
Gticai agent; and select the person best qualified
to represent their interests, and to exhibit their
taste and character to the assembled delega ton
of this confederacy. If we wish to possess any
influence as a state at the seat Of government we
must be represented By men of ability, Of genius
and weight Of character; state isJudged Of, by
its representatives and we cannot maintain our
Just station in the national scale without a dis
elimination in the character of those who repre-
sent us.
Who is best calculated to advocate our inter
ests at the seat fgovernment--to Understandable
operation and bearing Of intricate measurcs-to
fathom the intrigues and cabals of southern and
western politicians-to give character to our
state and to advance its honor and prosperity

A HI.NT-We understand that the support-
ers of Mr. Anderson's election in this town. are
extremely active in securing his success. This
is not very apparent to a superficial observer for
they work covertly, and move by sort of under
tow. We think itimportant therefore 10 caution
the friends of Mr.. LoNGFELLow not to be lulled
into repose, by the deceitful calm which lies on
the surface Of the other side. MIR. Anderson's
friends have his election extremely at heart

and political ends to answer, which they know
