The Representative Question.

Editor Democrat:
Being somewhat interested in the ques-
ton of who should receive the nomina-
ton for representative from this district
an honor which should be accorded
the right mani wish to write few
lines showing the position taken by tue
citizens, not only of the middle and north
parts of the town, but by many at the
south end, and that is that the nomina-
ton clearly belongs to this part of the
town, as all fair-minded men will con-
cede.
This point to my mind being clearly
established, | will here state my prefer
ence as to who should have the nomina-
ton. OF the three candidates who have
offered themselves for the position, and
without any feeling of ill-will or resent
ment against the other candidates, whom
| consider as friends, my preference is
Mr.. Lane. As Mr.. Fletcher stated in
his communication to the Democrat last
spring, Mr.. Lane is true and consistent
temperance man, and by reason of ability
and education well-fitted for the position.
He is now, and think has always been,
good Republican, and worker in that
granu ola party WHICH HAS uouo hiolS
than any other for the permanent vel
fare of the country. As the nominee OF
this section, Mr.. Lane should receive
the undivided support of the Republican
voters of Paris, for the nomination as
before stated clearly belongs to this part
of the town.
Not having taken an active part in
politics for a number of years, it may
seem strange that l should be SO thor
oughly interested in this representative
question now, but as the selection be-
longs to this locality, and as the Repub-
lican nominee will undoubtedly be
elected, | want the best man for the
place, and that in this case believe to
be Mr.. Lane; and it should be the duty
of fair-minded citizens of Paris to give
him their hearty support and attendance
at the caucus and polls, also in sending
temperance man to the legislature.
The question of high license or prohibi-
ton will sooner or later come up again,
and the temperance people should have
all of the members of the legislature
which it is possible to>have on their side
to defeat reSubmission.

State Roads Established.

On Friday the county commissioners
met the selectmen of Paris at the court
house to establish a state road under
the law passed by the legislature of 1901.
After considering the matter quite fully
in all it's bearings, they fixed upon the
road running from the Norway line,
through South Paris village, over the
Park Street bridge, through the "pine
woods" by Shows Falls and Trap Cor
uer to the Woodstock line.
1t had undoubtedly been in the minds
of many of the people that the road as
selected would run from the Norway
line to Paris Hill, as there is probably
more travel over that than over any
other continuous piece of road of the
same length in town. 1t is, however,
the policy of the commissioners, in
establishing these roads, to select as
nearly as possible main thoroughfare
through the town, and connecting If
practicable with state reads in the ad-
Joining towns, so as to approach as near
lv as possible to a system of state roads
covering the main thorOughfareS. On
this basis the road in Paris was selected.
The only question of any moment as
to the location was whether it should
not swing up over Paris Hill instead of
going through the valley below it, but
in view of all the conditions the COM
missioners acted as they did.
As there seems to be some lack of
understanding of the provisions of the
state road law. it may be well to refer to
it briefly. The town of Paris, at its
annual meeting last March, raised 5000
to be expended on state road. The
road having been established as stated
above. the money must be expended be-
fore the first of September, in pernaa-
Hent improvement ofa continuous portion
Of the road. The improvement must
be permanent, and on continuous por-
tion-uot few rods in one place and a
few rods in another. Having expend-
ed the money to the approval of the
county commissioners, the town is en-
titled to receive from the state half the
amount actually expended, not exceed
ing $500 in any one year.
On Saturday the commissioners went
to Sumner, and established a state road
in that town, beginning at the Hartford
line at the bridge at East Sumner, and
running thence through the valley road
by Labrador Pond and through Redding
| to the Woodstock line.

TO the Republican J'oterS Of Paris dRC
| this Representative District!
In view of the near approach of the
caucus for choice of Republican candi'
date for Representative to the Legisla.
ture from Paris, desire TO state my po
sition in the canvass. / have made no
active canvass, nor have asked any man
for his vote. stand as candidate for
this nomination ON the state and national
platform of the Republican party, be-
lieving that no one man is bigger than
the party. Further than that urge no
claims, either of long service for the
party or previous political promises.
The exclusive right to make the nomina-
ton belongs to the Republican voters,
not to any man, or group of men as
party workers.
AS to the issues now agitating the po-
litical situation in the state, am found
where | have been for some length OF
time, viz. in favor of independent tele-
phone lines and the extinction of "fran-
chise grabbing" in every form. | am
in favor of municipal ownership of light,
water, and the other public necessities,
and have no record on the other side of
the question. Therefore | have no hesi-
tation in declaring myself for the Hon.
B. NJ. Fernald for Governor, with Col.
Prescott as second choice, if it comes to
that.
maintain that the western section OF
the town is entitled to greater recogDl-
ton at the hands of the Republican party
than is indicated by its having had only
three representatives in thirty-four years.
A section of the town that never fails to
turn out a strong Republican vote de-
serves something more than % per cent
of the nominations.
1t has been claimed by one or two cor
respondents of the Democrat that West
Paris has traded oil its chances of receiv-
ing the nomination at this time. But |
am of the opinion that the voters of the
party have never heard of such arrange
ment, if such arrangement did exist ;
neither has there been brought to our
attention the agency that has the power
to bind the voters in a contract of such
description, or to assign any mans right
to vote for whomsoever he pleases.
To this statement of my position, |
add the assurance that in case the cau-
Gus makes choice of some one else for
this position, shall extend TO him the
support OF myself and my friends
Throughout the coming campaign.

Veterans Reunion.

The June reunion of Co. F, 9th Maine
and Co. G, Sth Maine veterans, was hello
on Wednesday, June 1st, with COmrade
j. A. Noyes and family on Elm Hill In
Paris. The weather in the morning was
quite threatening, but the day turned
out to be just right for the occasion.
A goodly number of the veterans were
present with their families, and fine
time was enjoyed by all. Comrade
Noyes and his family did everything in
their power to make the occasion a hap
py one for all present, and right well
they succeeded. A bountiful dinner
was spread at noon, to which all did
ample Justice. Comrade H. G. BarrOws
and Mr.. Thomas, where he resides, were
present with their graphOphone, and did
much to entertain between the other
exercises.
Mrs. Agnes Penfold assisted at the
organ, and she and Mr.. Leonard Sessions
gave us some fine selections which were
generously applauded. The Misses
Oracle and Ida Dean, daughters of Bert
and Albert Dean, II years of age, were
present, and we will say that the parents
of these children have great reason. to be
proud of them. One played the organ
and the other the violin. They played
several pieces which held the strictest
attention and admiration of all.
Interesting remarks were made by
Rev. Mr.. Little of South Paris. He re-
lated MANY of the incidents of the war,
especially those of the great struggle at
Gettysburg, in which he took part, being
in Massachusetts regiment which par
ticipated in the first days fight.
Geo. b. Crockett of South Paris was
called on and made some touching re-
marks in regard to the sacrifices made
by the soldiers to save the nation.
Frank l.. Starbird was present and
gave several of his humorous readings,
which always furnish the necessary spice
on such occasions.
A. E. Morse was also present and gave
several side-splitting readings. One OF
these, entitled "Mrs. Hawkins We'd
ding" brought the house down. If the
old saying Laugh and grow fat" is
true, we certainly came away much
heavier than we went.
We all came away feeling that we had
enjoyed another of those happy reunions,
mixed with sorrow, which we
are to enjoy only few more times at
the most, as the comrades are fast pass
ing over.
The next reunion of this veteran
will be held on Aug. 10
with Comrade Luther Abbott of Gilbert
