1t is in politics that Col. Prescott is
best known outside his own county.
Few men in the state have wider &C.
uuaintance than he. He has served in
both branches of the legislature, was on
Governor Cleaves' staff two terms and is
now serving a second term in Governor
Hills council, of which body he is chair
man. When elected to the Legislature
in 1888 he was the youngest member Of
that body. From 1887 to 1891 he was
treasurer of York county; in 1888 hi
was delegate at large to the Republican
national convention and served on TIT
committee of resolutions of which Majol
Mckinley was chairman. While in TIT
state senate he was chairman of thu
York county delegation. He was chair
man of the Republican city committee il
Biddeford four years and has seen Ion.
service on the county committee.

The Governor Question.

1t is a matter of cOngratulatiOn thai
the people of Maine are awakened to the
exercise of their prerogative and viii
decide for themselves whom they will
clothe with the mantle of chief execu
tive. The made-in-advance methods Of
the political machines appear to be get
ting the worst of the battle this year
and this is as it should be.
The Democrat is presenting this week
a picture and sketch of Col Charles H.
Prescott of Biddeford, and, without
prejudice to other candidates, frankly
states that Col. Prescott is its personal
choice for Governor, while Mr.. Fernald
of Poland stands close second.
From such advices as have reached
the Democrat office We infer that the
larger part of the Republican party of
Oxford County viii give their support to
either Col. Prescott or Mr.. Fernald. In
either case the state is assured of a
Governor who has the ability, the cour-
age and the disposition to give an adj
ministration that shall be for the benefit
of the people of Maine.

Charles III. Prescott was born in Barn
stead, Y. H., August 3, 1857, his parents
removing to Wells, Me-, the same year.
He attended Berwick academy and Bos-
ton university, read law with Judge
Nathaniel Hobbs of North Berwick, the
veteran Judge of Probate of York coun-
ty, and was admitted to the York county
bar in 1880. That year he purchased
the Biddeford Journal, and in 1881 es-
tablished the Biddeford Daily Journal,
now one of the leading dailies OF the
state, and has always been its proprietor
and managing editor.
He was one of the promoters OF the
Biddeford and Saco railway, drew It's
charter and was early elected director
and treasurer of the company. The
change from horse power to electric
lily necessitated an entire re-equlp
ment of the road, and for time the
prospect looked blue for the Stockhold
ers. Col. Prescott increased his hold
ings until he had acquired controlling
interest in the road. He was then gen
eral manager and treasurer. He brough
about the combination with the Portland
Railroad company, whereby the stock o
the local road was carried above par
lie is now president of the local com
pany.
In addition to his other business du
ties, he is director of the First Nationa
