A Candidate for State Assessor.

We are authorized to say that Mr.. Charles
f. Vickery of this town will be a candidate
before the Legislature in 1905 for the office
of State Assessor. The second term of Hon.
George Pottle of Lewiston will then have
expired, after service in the position of
State Assessor of twelve years. Mr.. Pottle
is the Democratic member of the board.
The law says that one of the three State
Assessors shall be a Democrat. Mr.. Wick
cry is Democrat. He always has been,
and we fear there is little hope of his seeing
the light at this late day-Pittstield Adver-
tiser.
The Advertiser says that Mr. Vckery
"would make model officer of the State in
that capacity" He is a successful business
man and has held many town offices. He
was born in Unity, Waldo county, 80 years
ago, but for the past 81 years has been a
resident of Pittsfield.
