| Chairman Hale introduced Hon
Chas. L. Lttlefeld, saying: Il will in
troduce to you the man from the world
over" Great applause.
Mr.. Littlefield said he thought this
was appropriate, as you could go the
world over and not find better body OF
men than those before him. If the en-
| thusiasm here manifest was continued
the nominee of the convention would
receive a rousing majority. 1t was in
cumbent on the convention to name a
candidate who would in his own per-
sonality reflect the full glory of the
party and its great State of Maine, one
who will poll the solid vote of the
party in Maine: one who will ensure
the party's continued power and a gov
eminent which will be an honor to the
best people of the State of Maine.
When the Republican party failed tc
nominate n right candidate it deserved
to lose it's power.
| 1t was their duty to nominate a man
whom all could look up to.
| As to the question of locality, the Re-
publican party has been willing TO dis
Tribute these right
All but four of the counties had beer
recognized and had had recognition
Knox. Hancock. Washington and
Piscataquis. These counties stand here

Great applause).
The candidate 1 am to name is the
son of n distinguished son. Wherever
the name of Maine has been known his
family name has been known. From
Quoddy Head to the Rio Grande
wherever time is used the name Is
known. He is man of the highest
business ability. He is AZ years of age
i'm the full of physical and mental con-
ditiOn. A graduate of n famous univer-
sity one that has sent out men famous
in law and medicine all over the cOun-
try and one whom every graduate OF
grand Old Bowdon hOnOrs and loves
one who will add luSter to the fame Of
that institution.
He is not politician though he has
always been a staunch Republican. bu
satisfied to remain a private in the
ranks.
| 1t has never been my privilege t.
meet a man who was his superior; ant
| may say that / have met but few who
are his peers in character and integrity
the two characters so much required by
n Governor.
Though he has been reviled in this
campaign, like the true Christian gen
lehman that he is he has not reviled in
return. CThree minutes of cheering)
No word or act of his has been used n:
an obstacle to the canvass of the Other
candidates. He nor his supporter:
has not uttered one thing which, ir
the case of the nomination of Other
than he. would be found in the am.
munition wagon of the opposition
party.
There is no feeling between us and
the opposition. We are friends. Wher
the convention is over we go out, re-
