All other eastern Maine politics have
been Uvershadowed this week by the
announcement that T. NJ. Simpson Of
Rangor has sent in his resignation as
chairman Of the Republican state com
mittee. Mr.. Simpson has been at the
head of Republican affairs first in
eastern Maine and later throughout the
entire State for 50 many years that he
has been regarded as 4 fixture. To
some. however. the resignation was not
unexpected. Mr.. Simpsons official and
private duties have largely Increased
=, Gently. and it has been apparent TO
his friends for some time that these
duties combined with those incumbent
upon chairman Of party committee
constituted too great q burden for one
man to carry.
Mr.. Simpson has been a prominent
figure in Maine politics for many
ears. After assuming control of the
PARTY organilat ton he departed some
shat from the campaign methods in
yngu" years ago. He never ceased to
battle for votes until the last minute.
He never permitted his licutenants to
anticipate victories. but kept them
steadily at work. His majorities al
ways exceeded any antc-cl"ctiun pre-
,.ictionS which hc made. Prior To the
last Stat" election Mr.. Simpson s
claims for his party were less than tho
Democratic leaders were willing 10
conced". The ma jority which his par
~ rolled up was IL big one. and sur
priSed almost everybody except Mr..
simpson.
Leading bangor Republicans are of
opinion that Seth NJ. Carter Of Lewis
ton will be chosen to succeed Mr..
Simpson.

the close Of the concert OF the Musical
Festival ut the Auditorium. Wednesday
night, City Messenger Mcgowan found
Il diamond somewhat larger than one

persed. He informed Janitor Eart:,z

quires were made to refer the person
to him. The next forenoon a lady Civ
ing her name AS Mrs. Adams inquired
of the janitor if a small diamond had
been found in the hall the evening be-
fore. she described the diamond in
the possession Of Mr. MacSowar. When
asked il she had lost such di3mond
she said she did, but was not in IN"
hopes of hnding il as she discovnred
the loss i'll d peculiar way. She had
attended the Festival Wednesday eve
ming and worn a pin of which she
thought considerable. After retiring
for the night she dreamed that she had
lost the diamond out of the pin and it
troubled her 50 that she could not rest
so she got out of bed to examine the
pin which she had taken off without
examining at the time. When she ex-
amincd 1t after the dream she was dis
mayed to find that the dream was true
and the diamond missing. She could
not tell when or where it had been
lost. In the morning She told of the
strange incident to her husband and
upon his advice she made the inquiry

found. When told that the diamond
had been found in the hall she was
