The withdrawal of Dr. John F. Hill of
Augusta from the candidacy for Governor
leaves but a single candidate in the field
Hon. Llewellyn Powers of Houlton-whose
nomination is practically assured. DR..
Hill was candidate by request of his
friends, made manly open fight, and
when he realized that the odds against
which he had to contend were too great,
withdrew rather than embarrass his sup
porters. There was at no time any ele-
ment of bitterness between the two can
didates; and this year, especially, with
the Presidency in view, there should be
an entirely harmonious convention and
harmony of action within the party. Thus
DR.. Hill S supporters have now generally
enlisted under the Powers banner, with
Senator Hale and many other leading Re-
publicans, while Somerset, his native
county, and Aroostook, his home, will
send solid Powers delegations to the State
convention. The Somerset Reporter says
of Mr.. Powers:
He is well known to our people general
ly as man of ability and wide experience
in public affairs, and has assurances OF
support from large number of promi-
nent Republicans of Somerset. We think
he is sure Of the delegations from towns
and plantations in this county and will
hold them practically ''solid' against any
candidate likely to come into the field.
And the Aroostool Republican of Carl
bou voices the sentiment of that great
county when it says:
Aroostook Republicans will go to the
State convention and vote as one man foI
Hon. Llewellyn Powers of Houlton as
their nominee for the highest office in the
State.
The people of this county are proud of
its distinguished son. who is of the people
and who, by his own unaided efforts, has
raised himself from comparative poverty
to position among the richest of Maine 5
rich men. Not only is he wealthy, but
Nature endowed him with a magnificent
intellect which has been properly trained
in legal fields and in Legislative expert
ence, until he stands, to-day, a shining
example Of a self-made man, worthy OF
emulation by the poor but ambitious
young men Of our State
Mr.. Powers is one of the ablest lawyers
in Maine, and his past experience renders
him eminently fitted for the responsible
ties of the high office to which he aspires
and in which candidacy he has the earnest,
hearty and enthusiastic support of all the
Republicans of this county.
There can be 30 question but that the
next occupant of Names gubernatorial
chair will be Hon. Llewellyn Powers of
ArooStook.
No stronger endorsement could be had
than this testimony from the birthplace
and boyhood home of MI Powers, and
from the home OF his manhood. the fair
and fertile Aroostook. Further proof of
his popularity is shown by the fact that
whenever he has been up for an elective
office he has run ahead of his ticket. Of
his abilities, experience in public affairs,
and sterling Republcanism, it is not nee
essary to speak.
