president Roosevelt and while Theo-
aore. Roosevelt is not now running for
the Presidency. if the Republicans of
Maine endorse the principles Of Roose-
volt they can show it by voting for
II. Rfuihlican candidate for Governor,
E;r,ian, r. Cobb. There are other rea-
sons why this is not an off year. We

question of men, but a question of

state have presented to him the candi-
