A COMFORTABLE FORTUNE
by Late Major e. J. Day
of Old Orchard.

Old Orchard. Me-, Dec. 1.-THE ap-
praisal of the estate of Major Edward
]. Day. for rs years a resident of this
town, who is supposed to have been
drowned together with his son, while
outside on fishing trip, Oct. 1, shows
it to be worth $6O, 900, of which $50, 600 is
in cash.
When Major Day came here from
Lewiston, a quarter of a century ago,
to start 4 bOotblack stand, he had but
few dollars in his pocket. The resort
was in it's infancy. The following year
mai. G. +. Bowers of Lynn, Mass,
came here and opened a candy booth
in the grove. He made mint of
money. He made his own candy and
sold it as fast as it was made.
Deciding that money could be made
easier and faster in this way than pol
ishing shoes, the major opened a stand
on Railroad walk, where he made can
dy in view of an admiring throng of
summer vacationists. He was frugal
saved every penny and soon began to
buy real estate here. At the time of
his death he owned much valuable real
estate. one store renting for $500 each
sea SOn.
Most of his fortune was amassed
through shrewdness, industry and
spending nothing for luXuries of this
life. Many stories are told Of his fru-
gality.
In the winter he has done but little
during the past few years, living quiet
ly at his home in Somerville. In years
past he had manufactured cough drops
and engaged in business of various
kinds, all of which seemed to net him
good returns.
There are many Old Orchard people
who believe that Major Day was not
drowned, but will return to the beach
in the spring and resume mis- candy
making on Railroad walk, as of yore.

Thus it stands that If Roosevelt
can carry Illinois, and one other de-
batable state he will be pretty apt to
be elected, or If he carries Illinois and
Wisconsin he will likely win in enough
OF the smaller debatable states to elect
him.
On the other side, Parker must
carry New York, Wisconsin, West
Virginia and Indiana or their equiva-
lent. He must carry both the East
and the West. If he should carry
New York, New Jersey. Connecticut
and Vest Virginia In the East, he
would lack II votes, unless he carried
some Of the Western states. If he
should lose all these and carry Illinois,
Indiana and Wisconsin he would lack
% votes.
The issue Of both parties were made
to suit the debatable states, and while
the Republicans have slightly the best
of it, the fight is an open one.
In assigning the different states to
the different columns, the experience
OF previous presidential years has been
the guide. Only where state has
been overwhelmingly and persistently
Democratic or Republican has 1t been
assigned arbitrarily to either column.
