Mr.. S. P. Sheridan, the Travelling
Southern agent of the Maine Central,
has just returned from a five months
trip during which he has visited
EVERY ONE
of the southern and southwestern states
in the interests of Maine. Mr.. Sheridan
has met many of the well to do people
of the southern country and the attrac-
tive books, booklets.ss pamphlets and fol-
ders descriptive of the varied attractions
of the Pine Tree State have been given
very wide distribution.
Eyes. have had very extensive trip"
said Mr.. Sheridan to PRESS man yes
terday, and l hope what future results
will show to have been a very successful
one. Whoever takes the story of Names
beauties through the country always
finds willing ears to listen, for the fame
of her rivers and lakes, her hills and
valleys, her mountains and sea shore and
her unrivalled sports has reached almost
every nook and corner of the country.
One is very likely to find an eloquent
supporter in most any company he meets,
for almost always there is someone
among them that has been fortunate
enough..to taste the summer joys of Maine
and is anxious to tell of 1t.
"Maine is an easy subject tn inoite in
terest in, especially now when the promi-
hence of her
MOST INDUSTRIOUS SON,
as Presidential probability gives her an
added charm to the true American.
| You come from Maine? Do you
know Tom Reed?" were questions met
affirmative with pleasure and pride.
| tell you Reed is tremendously popular
with the masses of the people everywhere
that have travelled, and whatever the
| Mckinley managers may claim Mr.. Reed
has a strength in the South which /
have found by personal Investigation
that is bound to make itself felt at St.
Louis for the man from Maine"
How will travel be this SUMMER"
"Big-very big l think, judging from
all the indications l have been able to
detect"
