Mrs. John j. Healey and in
terestIng little family, left Thurs
day for q visit to the old folks at
Cheneyville.
District Attorney R. Lee Gar
land announces himself as can
didate for the office which he is
now filling. Political foes as well
as friends are compelled to admit
that he has made a fearless, able
and impartial officer.
The announcement of Judge Il.
4. Lewis, for reelection to the
office OF District Judge, appears in
this paper. Judge Lewis IS too
well and favorably known In this
parish, whose people he has SO long
served in various capacities, to need
commeudation at the hands OF the
Clarion. It does not appear that
he will have any opposition.
Representative James ]. Bailey
ran up home Friday. Mr.. Bailey
is one of the influential members
of the Lower House-so much 50
that many leaders Of this Congress.
onal District are urging him to
make the race for congress against
Congressman Puio. He has mel
enough encouragement, even from
Mr.. Pujo's home parish, to war
rant him to believe that he car
make safe landing.

POLITICAL.

Although the primary for the
olactipn of District Judge and
Dlstriet Attorney is ordered to take
Mace on July 30th, there is very
l;ftle abiling" in the political pot.
The ineumbents Of these respec-
rive Offices are announced, but as
vet no opposition has developed
! against them, tho there is an effort
being made to do SO.
Lawyer ". J. Sandoz is an aspi-
rant for the office OF District At
torney, but has not, to our knowl-
edge, publicly announced himself
IN fact he is now engaged in taking
birds eye view of the situation.
Representative Dudley L. Gull
baau. who made such magniff-
eent run for the Office he now oc-
cupies, receiving over two-thirds Of
the votes cast, is also mentioned
and 40 is Mr.. L. Austin Fontenot, q
rising young lawyer at this bar.
Judge w. C. Perrault was men,
toned sometime ago for the judge
ship. but the fact that he is away
ON an extended trip shows that be
ID not In the race.
There were several political eau
cusses this week. What the noun
tain will bring forth is q con-
lecture.
The race for Congress is equally
doubtful. The present incumbent,
Hon. A. r. Pujo, is yet playing .
lone hand, tho' it is said that Judge
Dlackman, of Rapides, Is about to
get In the game. There is also
some talk of getting out st. Ian
dry man. This latter move, we
are told, originated in Mr.. Pujo's
parish, Calcasieu, where, OF course,
like every man in politics, he has
enemies.

Dear Sirs AT meeting OF Hore

Tuesday, June 14th, 1904, the fol-

Whereas, from experience we
find that the so-called Fire Proof
Buildings, constructed OF COrruga-
ted Iron are i'm no means fire proof,
button the contrary, are more dan
gerons and almost inaccessible TO

more difficult to control the fire

Therefore, be it Resolved, That
Hope Hook & Ladder Co. No. !,
comprising as it does the Fire De-
paFtment of this town, do
hereby condemn such buildings,
and that it also enters herewith It's
most strenuous objection to the
further erection OF such buildings;
Be It further Resolved, That
We earnestly petition the Town
Council to prohibit, in the future,
the erection of this class OF build.

The fire limit ordinance then exis

AUGUSTA. MAINE, March p. 1904.
To the Editor Of the Rcnnebcc Journal:
Although have recovered from mr. recent
illness sufficiently to have attended to my pri-
Fate bdsipess matters for some time past my
return Of strength has not been fun aud com
plete, and my physician now advises 1t 70 b.
uuwise for me to again take my former active
part In political affairs. For this reason must
retire from my candidacy for the govsrnorshir
and / cannot accept a re election to the Tepnbh
can national committee.
| desire to publicly express my heartfelt
thanks TO my many thousands of republican
friends who have so cordially given me their
hearty support, and 10 assure th-m OF my deep
gratitude. My chief regret is my inability 10
hereafter so actively labor for the republican
party as in the past.
For more than quarter OF & century NY ser
vices have been freely given TO what ! believed
10 be the best interests Of the State OF Maine
and the republican party, and trust they have
been OF some value
In retiring from active political life desire
10 expsess my appreciation Of the friendships
that have been given me, and the honors that
have been bestowed upon me. also desire 10
express my arm belief that this State win
prosper In the coming years even more than iy
the past: and that cur party in the future, as-fn
the past, will always be guiding the destinies Of
our State along the path of progress, first al
ways, for the right, JOSEPH Ii. MAsLEY.
This announcement has brought out q
letter from Mayor F. o. Besi, of Bangor,
to the Daily Nei1s, in which he declares
himself still in the race, and now expects
the support of all republicans east Of
the Kennebec.
Hon. William T. Haines, of Waterville,
also takes the occasion to assure his
friends that he is still In the field, and ex-
poets not only a solid delegation from
Kennebec county, but also hearty support
from other sections of the State.
Hon. William +. CopD. of Rockland,
W nile expressing sincere regret at Mr..
Maniey's impaired he,lth, declines tn dis
cuss the pro ba bic effect Ut his withdrawal
on bis own candidacy.
There are two other candidates for the
nomination, but they have not yet fol-
lowed the example of Messrs.. Beai and
Hsines by commenting on the situation
as it stands'with Mr.. Mauley out.

Since the damage by fire toits house
of worship, the Methodist society of
Ellsworth has decided not to repair
the old edifce, but sell it and build
new church in more desirable loca-
ton. 1t is understood that the pro-
posed new church, together with the
land required, will cost from $4,000 to
$4,000. The proceeds of the sale OF
the property on Bridge hill, the insur-
ance money and 81, 200 from the
church extension society will provide
for about half the proposed expendi-
ture; the rest is, we understand, to be
raised by subscription. A tasteful,
modern church building would GER
tainly be an ornament to our city, and
no doubt every possible effort will be
made to accomplish the work to be
undertaken.

Reflections ON Town Politics.

NORTH PENoBsooT, March d, 1904.
To the Editor Of The American:
There has been an unusual number of
break ups In town officials through this
section. Bucksport and Orisnd and
Verona have had quite a revolution In
their boards OF seiectmen, and Bluehill
and Penobscot have felt the shock OF
public disapprovsi to quite an extent.
There is nothing In official life more
uncertain than the tenure Of Office of
selectmen. The people don't take pains
to investigate. Some demsgogue may
start an unfounded rumor. Some nibbler
at the public crib may have been slig htee !;
some old grumbier may have been
offended; some jealous soul, full Of
schemipg rsscality. may have burning
aspirst ions for the office, and spares no
pains to exsggerste the errors and mis-
takes OF the outgoing officials; some new
born brilliant star may have risen above
the horizon, shedding his Illuminating
beams on the seeming iDtricacies and
hidden depths OF town reports, and dis
covered enough l-fiavored food to nurse
a revolution.
Whatever 1t may be, few men In many
towns, and no men In some towns, have
possessed that happy combination, popu-
iarity and efficiency, that rare combine
tion OF tact and sound judgment, that
happy faculty of sensing human nature,
OF turning down gently where you can't
use effectively, of administering wisely,
economically ana satisfactorily the affairs
of town.
In our little towns there is no organ to
blow for you and set things right. On
your seeming merit you must stand or
fall. II.

rLeslie's Weekly. March 10.l

The democratic and the assistant
democratic papers are saying that
President Roosevelt has made many
mistakes. Yes; he has made mis-
takes. Let us mention few of these:
The President ended the coal strike
in 1902, and thereby opened the mines,
gave work to tens of thousands of
persons who had been idle for months,
and reduced the price of coal TO So
600 900 Americans.
He carried out the country's pledge
with Cuba, first by Withdrawing the
troops from the island after pacihca-
ton had become complete, and then
by inducing an apathetic Congress to
grant to the island the reciprocity
which had been promised.
He led Congress to pass the national
irrigation act, which win benefit every
state and territory west of the iongi-
tude Of Missouri's western boundary,
which will open TO settlement new
empire in the arid region comprising
over third of the contiguous part OF
the United States.
He enforced the Sherman antitrust
act Of 1890 80 that the people car
repeal it If they dislike it, car
strengthen and extend 1t II they want
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1904-03-30

to retain it and if it needs strength
eninp and extending, and in so doing
give vitality to statute which had
been forgotten, and he also carried
out a republican pledge repeated in
many of the national platforms.
He called halt on England, Gsr-
many and Italy in their projected
attack on Venezuela, compelled the
disputants TO submit their case to
arbitration, and thus gave interna-
tional and final sanction to the Mon
roe doctrine.
He negotiated a commercial treaty
with China. oyercame Russian mem
aces at Picking, induced the emperor
of China to ratify the treaty, and thus
opened the Manchurian ports of Muk-
den and Antung to the trade of the
United States.
He induced England to agree TO the
abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer
treaty of 1850, which tied the United
States hands in canal building across
the isthmus; negotiated canal treaty
with Colombia, which that country
bIindly rejected; then he turned to the
newly created republic of Panama,
which seeded from Colombia on
account of the latter's folly in refus-
ing to accept the canal treaty, gained
a treaty with Panama under which the
canal is to be built and a world dream
of four centuries duration is to be
transmitted into fact. For his work
in getting an isthmian canal under
American control he brought the bulk
of the southern democracy over to his
side, and for the time blotted out
party lines throughout the United
States more thoroughly than they had
been blotted out before or since Mon
roe's ''era of good feeling.
The American people love Roose-
welt for some of the mistakes" which
he has made.

The withdrawal of Hon. J. n.
Manley as a candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for governor comes
as surprise, for il has generally been
understood that for many years to be
governor of Maine has been the goal
of his political ambition. The con-
test will, however, continue to be in
teresting, with such aggressive men
as Mr.. Cobb, Mr.. Prescott, Mr.. Beal,
Mr.. Haines and Mr.. Fernald still in
the field.
