AUGUSTA. MAINE, JAN. IS, le9G.

To the Republicans of Maine:-Prior to 1899
two Presidential electors at large. correspond
ing to the two United States senators. were
nominated in State convention, and the re-
manning electors corresponding to the men,
bers of the United States House of Represen-
tatives were nominated by the several con-
gressional district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot law en-
tirely changed the procedure. Under the law
all Conventions are portion of our election
system, and this ballot act requires that cam
didates to be voted for by the Voters through
out the whole state must be placed in nomina-
ton by Convention representing no less a
constituency than the whole state. Hence, all
the candidates of party for Presidential cleo
tors must be nominated in State Convention
and have therefore included III the call six
electors.

PRESS COMMENTS.

{ Bangor Wbig.)

The Boston journal has made a canvass
of the Massachusetts Legislature to ascer-
tain the presidential preferences of the
members. OF the 1872 senators and rcpre-
sentatives recorded 1913 are for Mr.. Reed
and three for Gov. Mckinley. In these
figures is to be found evidence that the
son of Maine will go into the convention
with New England solidly and enthus
astically behind him. Another significant
straw is to be found in the fact that of
the thirty four delegates thus far chosen
IN different parts OF the country thirty
are for the Maine candidate.

and saw them count their days earnings, some $25. 1 heard them laugh at how slick they had pulled the wool over the good folks eyes. One of them gave a companion dollar and half to go and purchase whisky for the crowd, and upon the mans return I saw them all have a glorious old time.
 The elder of these rascals is about thirty-fiye. with dark-brown mous- tache and weighs about l60 pounds. Height, about , feet inches. He wears dark clothes, black slouch hat and one of his legs is off at knee. His companion is about 9 years of age, rather good looking, clean shayen, beautiful teeth, small hands, long, slender fingers height about |5 feet 1 inches; weight about l35 pounds. He also wears q black slouch hat and dark clothes While begging he keeps one arm concealed. He will show blood stains through his shirt and tell how like poor Laza- rus, is afflicted These sores have been punctured on him by fellow | beggars for the sole purpose of creating a sympathy in the hearts of I those from whom he begs He has two as good arms and legs as any man. l saw him lay aside his crutches at campfire, cook a meal and walk and jump around as well as any man. He isquite an athelete, but he can look so pitiful and walk so limpy, and talk SO sweet while begging that a stone heart, not knowing him, would almost sue eumb.
 These two characters call at pri- vate houses, hotels, shops, and ire quently upon Mayors and get their permission to beg the town. Should you assist them, you may truthfully ask:
 Oh. Lord, have l done good

 Or have I robbed worthy of food,
