AUGUSTA, Aug. 21.-It Is doubtful now II
Senator Frye will be able to take hand in
the Maine campaign, as all Maine's interests
are assailed In Congress and he seeks 10
have them satisfactorily taken care Of Mr..
Frye's absence is to be regretted as his con-
vincing words on the fishery treaty question
would have been very effective in the regions
along the coast where the fishermen reside.
1t Is also likely that Senator Hale viii not
participate In the campaign for similar
reasons The members Of the House will
all be paired and be able to take an active
part after this week until the close Of the
canvass, but probably none Of them will
speak outside Of their own districts

IN town today and takes the stump at once.
Ihe campaign in Kennebec county will be
opened next week at Waterville, and by
hon. Charles j. Noyes, Of Massachusetts,

OSR1 r. OtAOua PACoouAC has DtCu DIDukuk
to have Mr. Blaine address the people Of
Aroostook county at HoultOn, but he hasn't
decided in the matter as yet, At Bangor he

lumber iterests and at Calais give his atten-
tion chiefly to the fishery treaty. It Is ex-
pected that helwill make one speech In each Of
the ixteen.counties In the State, In Frank
