In a party sense Belfast has gone
over to the enemy, and for the first
time since 1860 the Democrats, AS
Democrats, have elected their candi-
date for Mayor. We have had Demo-
cratic Mayors in that time, but they
were elected on local issues as Citizen
or Taxpayer candidates. That the
Democratic victory this year was
brought about by Republican votes
will not be disputed. The reasons given
by Republicans for thus departing from
party allegiance are many and various.
Some bear no more relation to our mu-
nicipal affairs than they do to the dig
cling of the Panama canal. Many were
no doubt influenced by personal friend
ship for the Democratic candidate; but
the main cause of this political up
heaval was dissatisfaction with the
prohibitory law, or rather with its en-
forcement The Sturgis bill was the
special object of denunciation, although
there have been no Sturgis officers in
this city or county. So far as the Demo-
Gratis are concerned their openly avow-
ed purpose from the first was to break
down the prohibitory laws of Maine,
and many heretofore staunch Republi-
cans aided them with their votes and
influence. This tells the story in brief
-truthfully, as we believe, and without
prejudice-of Mondays election.
The Maine Farmer published last
week an excellent half tone of the Ed
win C. Burleigh Pavilion, the latest
addition to the Maine Insane Asylum,
Augusta. This building, formerly
known as The Arsenal, was built in
1928 of heavy granite, is 120 feet long,
81 wide and three stories in height
with a basement 10 II feet deep. When
the L. S. Government decided to
abandon The Arsenal, the building and
grounds were secured as a free gift to
the State through the energy and fore
sight of Congressman Burleigh. The
last legislature appropriated 81, 200 for
the renovation of this building and
$4,000 for fittings, and it is expected
the work will be completed and the
building ready for occupancy May 1st.
it is designed to provide for a mild
class of male patients who have be-
come in a condition to exercise con-
siderable control, and will accommodate
40 to 1875 The building has been made
fire proof throughout, will be steam
heated and lighted by electricity, will
have ample bath rooms, an open fire
place in the day room, and all the
modern features to insure perfect
sanitation. 4 new feature of the build
ing is a roomy veranda, u feet wide
and extending the entire length of the
west side of the building, where
patients can enjoy sunlight and air and
from which can be obtained splendid
view of the kennebec, State House, and
surrou nding hills. There are twelve
other granite buildings included in the
Arsenal property which may be utilized
later

WHEELING, Nov. 21,-so far no
intimation has been made by Govern
or William NJ. o. Dawson, as to whom
he will appoint to the vacancy in the
Office of Judge in the First judicial

decide and that the appointment may
lie given out within the next "a hours.
The matter remains in about the same
condition now that 1t has been for
the past two or three days and local
people do not know any more now
than they have for the past week.
Tuesday morning a committee Of
four, one from each of the counties
in the district, left for Charleston in
the interest Of Mr.. Erskine. The
committee is composed of B. S. ALI

Hancock; Charles Carrigan, OF Mar

committee arrived there late yester
day afternoon.
Conditions appear to remain the
same as they have been and the
friends Of each of the candidates for
the position are doing all they can to
have their favorites win. Those who
are candidates and whose names are
said to have been referred to the gov
ernor are Hon. William Erskine, Hon.
Frank W. Nesbitt, both Of Wheeling
and Hon. Charles McComis, of Mounds

lies between Erskine and Nesbitt, but

which has Just held Its third annual
election and issued report of It's
progress. Free advice on the subject Of
fire prevention is offered ito any mu'
nicipality, association or individual,
having their own corporate or his
personal interest enough at heart TO
ask for It"
The society is composed of the chief
officers of the building departments Of
the large cities. Nearly every import.
ant city in the country is represented
as well as many cities in Europe, some
of the members being from England
Austria and Mexico. Its work is d.
rected by the chief executive officer
F. W. Fitzpatrick, one Of the best
known consulting architects and au
thoritles on fire prevention in the Uni
ted States.
Through the societys efforts many
cities have already been induced tc
improve their building laws. The so
ciety is also trying to get. municipali
ties to lower taxation on fireprooI
buildings, while placing the maximum
assessment on fire traps which are 9
menace and the protection of which
involves big expense to every large
city.
Speaking Of the aims Of the society
and the need for such an organization
Mr.. Fitzpatrick says: Year by yeaI
we burn up actually one-half of as
much as we add. During the last
month some cities have far exceeded
that average, Atlanta erected $2S9,
S35 worth of buildings in September
and burned up $215,OOO in October;
Buffalo built sGS9,99O and burned $S1S,
600. Our average annual fire loss is
now s2OO,OOO,OOO; this year it will ex
coed $5OO,OOO,OOO. The international
Society of Building Commissioners
and Inspectors was formed to carry
on a campaign of education whereby
the public will become thoroughly ia
miliar with what constitutes fireproo
construction and the need that exists
for it"
