The South Portland boys are not satis-
fed with the result of the contest. They
admit that they were fairly beaten SO far
as the game was concerned but claim that
not student of the institution. 1t is
stated. however, that Bennett will soon
Join the school The South Portland
players also complain that the Seminary
team agreed to play return game and
now refuse to do SO on the ground that
the players from the Cape are sluggers
who play too rough game. The young
men from over the harbor say that they
are amused at this as the heaviest man of
their team is lighter than the lightest
member of the aggregation which repre-
sents the Deering institution of learning.
1t will be seen from this that the football
season has now fairly begun. A game
has been played and controversy COM
menced over the results.

MONTAGUE, OCT. 26, 1897.
EDITOR PREss:-I notice you had to
issue a supplement your paper last week
which surely speaks well for its future
/ also noticed your correspondence column
was well filled which shows interest in
those who undertake TO furnish news for
the Press. But what took my eye most
was the letter of H. His communications
are always interesting and to the point, he
generally knows what he is talking about.
Brother H. seems to think that part of
the Democratic ticket will get black eye
in Sandyston on Nov. 2. Well Sandyston
and Montague are both Democratic, but
where are there two towns which have
showed more erratic election results then
these two9 Every thing is far from plea
SAINT among Democrats in this town.
Some are sore over the result of the pri-
mary, and now the Hon. Jacob Swart-
won't is accused of trying to get his friends
to vote for Baily the Republican nominee
for Senator. If that is trLe, and those
who are not satisfied with the nomination
of Ira Simpson for county clerk should
take it into their heads to vote for Peter
Gunderman what will the result bep 1t
seems to be a conceded fact that Elvin
Smith will have hard work to carry his
own town, and some have come to the con
olusion that swaps will be attempted and
may be carried out ON Election day II
the Democratic ticket is defeated the
blame should not all be put on the candi.
