A PERSONAL CANVASS
Results in Splendr! Backing for Old
Friend of President.

Bangor, Me, Dec. 1.-THE nominal
ton of William Wingate Sewan of Is
land Falls for the dictatorship of the
Aroostook customs district ends one of
the most picturesque and interest ting
political canvasses ever known in
Maine.
Willie it was the general opinion that
President Roosevelt would look with
favor uron his old guide and lifelong
friend. "Bill' StWall, it was known
that MI. ScWall was 4 rank outsider as
far as the political machine went.
Mr.. SeWall was vigorously opposed
by Ransford w. Shaw. a Houlton law
yer. a politician who had worked with
might and main for the party for years
ANA who was slated in due course for
the Ioulton custcmhouse. In fact Mr..
Shaw expected that there would be no
opposition to him when Hon. Thomas
II. phair was through with the job.
Mr.. Phdir, one of the most prominent
and wealthy men Of AroostOok. known
as the starch king" who is and has
beer collector for long term. was not
at all aVerse to denomination.
William Wingate Sewall decided to be-
gin a canvass for the place. He started
out. as he described it. on foot and
alone, as he had tracked down Il bull
moose many 4 time. He Travelled all
over AroostoOk county, making Il per-
sonal canvass. He explained that al
though he was Il friend of the PreSi-
dents he wanted TO snow Mr.. ROoSe-
welt how he stood with the people.
His success was instantaneous. When
he was all through he had yards and
yaEds Of petitions igned by ONE Of the
best people Of the county. He had Sc
cured a backing which would have de-
manded recognition had the President
never heard Of him.
"BilI' s;eWall is considered q man Of
intelligence education, unquestioned in
teSrity ana good judgment, and amply
qualified to tackle all the problems
that may arise i'll the administration Of
the HuultCn custom house. He has for
a long time been postmaster and dep
