Thoroughly Equipped for the Place.

Correspondent of Lewiston Journal)
The announcement that Governor-elect
Powers had selected Hon. Oramandal
Smith of l.itchfield as his private sec
retary is an agreeable surprise at the
Capital. Many favorable comments are
heard on the wisdom of his choice. Mr..
Smiths predecessor, Col. f. c. Stevens,
whose duties as superintendent of pub
lie buildings would not admit of longer
service as private secretary. has served
most efficiently and faithfully as the
public having dealings with the IKE
cutive department can attest. Mr.
Smith has all the qualifications for this
important position. His acquaintance
throughout the State is extensive, while
his knowledge of affairs of State. gained
through years of experience, is second
to that of no man in public life. Mr.
Smith was born in Aroostook county So
years ago. In early youth he came to
Litchfield. this county. where he has
since resided. Attending the common
schools, Litchfield academy and Water
vile Classical institute. he taught school
in his earlier years.a the age f26 repre-
senting the Litchfield and Monmouth
class in the Legislature. Serving as
clerk and assistant clerk of the House
for several years, he followed by three
terms as secretary of State, his last
term closing in $780, since when he has
resided quietly on his farm in Litch-
field. which is one of the most produc-
tive in the county. AT the present time
he is a member of the House-elect Mr.
Smiths duties will require his almost
constant presence at the Capitol, but
he will continue the ownership of his
Litchfield property and his home will
be in that town.
