A GOOD NEWSPAPER.

The Importance o; good reading for
the home cannot be over estimated.
Upon this subject there seems TO be nc
difference OF opinion among thoughtful
minds. In recent address, no less an
authority than Prof. Charles Eliot Nor
ton, late OF Harvard University, referred
to the editorial page OF The Boston Her
aid as the brightest and best to be found
among American newspapers. The Bos-
ton Herald IL not only worthy Of praise
for It's editorials, but "a well for It's gen.
eral method of handling all the news.
Unseemly publication Is foreign TO
its makeup, and yet all the news Of the
world finds It's first publication 10 New
England In The Boston Herald. And
the good things to be said Of The Boston
Herald will not stop here. 10 all It's edi-
tons large space Is devoted to special
departments covering every phase Of
life, calculated to please every variety OF
cultivated readers. The Sunday Her
aid Is especially strong In features. In
the feature Of illustration, The Bos-
ton Herald stands pre-eminent. IL Is
always wise to order The Boston Sunday
Herald early-many newsdeslers have
not supply large enough to meet the
demand.

Hon George II. Bi-Dee. Rumfori Falls
sAGApAHoC.
Hon. stephen W Carr. BcwdOinham.
Gen Thomas W HYDE Bath
Hon. James ". W skebeld, Bath.
OF this list il is reported that Judge
Savage and Judge Foster have each
declared that they are not candidates
for the vacancy.
The two Rumford Falls candidates
are pretty closely associated In business
and personal relations and there is no
doubt that they would arrange 10 act 10
harmony. In fact IL is common report
that Mr.. Pettengill has an eve upon the
gubernationsl chair, which would prob
ably narrow the Oxford County list
down TO three candidates Hon. John
Z. Swssey, Hon. james ). Wright and
Hon. George u. Bisoee.
Now. what is Oxford County's oppor-
tunity: When Mr.. Dingley was uom-
mated, Oxford County had two csndi-
dates for the place, Hon. Enoeh Foster
and Hon. John r. Swssey, either OF
whom would have been nominated could
he have had the united support Of the
Oxford County delegation. Let US learn
wisdom from experience. Ii WAS then
and probably will again be case of
united we stand, divided we fall. :"
Oxford County has more votes than any
other in the convention. Either Of the
Oxford County candidates will be more
likely in the ''home stretch" to draw
the support Of Androseoggin and Frank
lin than will those Of the other counties.
Ii is announced that Gov. Powers will
not order an election before September,
giving ample time for Oxford County TO
unite upon her strongest candidate.
What then Is our duty: Clearly this
TO give the Oxford candidates time TO
make their csnvsss-then call . caucus Of
the Oxford Republicans upon the same
basis as our County Conventions are
called and with the understanding that
the man who has the largest number Of
votes in that caucus shall go into the
Congressional convention as the candi-
date Of this county with the solid Oxford
delegation behind him. The Democrat
would be glad to publish the views Of
Oxford County Republicans stating
their approval or disapproval Of this
plan.
