This week we are privileged to pub
lish the picture of Mrs. Hiram Spofford
who has now to her credit over 2000
votes and whose friends both in this
take much interest in assisting her.
In Glass No. =, Western section, Mrs.
Lizzie Holway, who is the secretary of
Norridgewock Grange, is in the lead for
the first time and is the first in her class
to pass the 1000 mark We look how
ever to see the friends of the contestants
in the other towns rally to their aid
shortly.
Class No. 5, Eastern Section, is the
smallest in number of contestants thus
far, but if the friends of each don't make
it lively for the others before the con-
test closes, we miss our guess. a 5000
range for free gift to the winner does
not fall to the lot of Somerset county
ladies often.
Once more we would state that the
vote of the several contestants, as given
below, only represent the number passed
in to be recorded and those, if any, be-
ing held back can only be recorded when
their possessors So desire them to be
counted
The vote as recorded By our clerk for

The Presidents Message.

President Roosevelt's message read
IN the Senate and House at Washington,
Tuesday, is a comprehensive state paper
of readable length.
The President has much to say and
saws it In a straightforward plain way
that all can understand, referring the
reader for details to reports of the exec
utiye departments.
In his discussion of the trust question,
he does not depart from the text he gave
out in his first message and to which ne
referred frequently in both his New
England and his Western tours. He is
still for Federal regulation and super
vision of trusts; he would eradicate the
evils of the system, but he does not aim
At the destruction of combinations of
capital. He believes the power of Con-
gress to regulate our great aggregations
of capital is sufficient but suggests that
further legislation may be desirable.
Regulation of trusts he holds to be en-
tirely distinct from tariff revision, and
that il there is to be any revision at all
the protective principle must be preserv-
ed. He advises the removal OF the tariff
on anthracite coal. In this he is just
right.
We are able to give this admirable
message in full, and it is worthy of care
tul reading and will bear studying.
