Senator Foraker has furnished the
political sensation of the week by his
announcement that he is not a candi-
date to succeed himself as senator,
but is candidate for the presidency.
Opinion is divided as to the motive
which prompted this course. Very
few people believe that MIR. Foraker
can be elected President. His per-
sistent opposition to President Roose-
welt would Of itself be enough to pre-
vent his being made the leader of the
republican party, even il he had the
support Of his state, which he has not.

Song Recital.

An entertaining song recital was given
last evening at the Unitacian church by
Miss Frances Weston, soprano, of Ban

and Miss Mary F. Hopkins, pianist. Fol-
lowing was the programme:

Miss Weston
Miss Weston was heard in this city
for the first time, and made q most
favorable impression. Her voice is rather
light, but finely trained, and she sang
with taste and expression. Her high notes
were especially pleasing.
The musical skill of Mrs. Kent and Miss
Hopkins is too well known here to need
extended comment; their selections were
admirably rendered.
The piano used was kindly loaned for
the occasion by the Staples Piano &
Music Co.

PARKER sPOFFORD INJURED.
Narrowly Escaped Death by Fall at
the New Dam.

Narrowly Escaped Death by Fall at
the New Dam.
State Railroad Commissioner Parker
Spohord, of Bucksport, met with serious
accident at the new dam at noon on
Thanksgiving day. Mr.. Spofford came to
Ellsworth Wednesday evening to attend
the Knowlton Cameron wedding, and
while here was the guest OF Mayor A. w.
Greedy and wife.
Thursday forenoon, with Mayor Greedy,
E. K. Hopkins, w. H. Dresser and Louis
F. Tapley, of Bucksport, Mr.. Spofford was
looking over the new dam. The party hal
crossed through the dam from the east to
the west side, had looked over the power
house and the forebay, and had started to
return through the dam.
The passage way through the dam was
dimly lighted. Mr.. spoford was step
ahead of the others of the party, and had
gone but short distance along the upper
walk, when he fell. 1t is supposed he be-
came dizzy. He plunged headlong from the
north side Of the walk, striking on his
head and left shoulder on a concrete
platform i've feet below the walk. Had he
gone OF the other side OF the walk, he
would have fallen fifteen feet, or il the
accident had happened further along the
walk, he would have plunged thirty five
or forty feet to the bottom Of the dam. 1t
was from this same walk that Russell
Hopkins fell and was killed the following
day.
Mr.. Sponord IS soon as possible was
taken to Mayor GreeIy's home. He had
9 scalp wound on his head and on his
temple, and his left cheek was cut and
bruised. Later examination showed that
his left collar bone was fractured. It was
several hours before he fully regained con-
seriousness. he is still at Mayor Greely's,
and is as comfortable as can be expected.
1t is believed he can be moved to his home
in Bucksport the last of this week.

The Presidents Message .

The Presidents Message.
President Roosevelt's message to
the sixtieth Congress is an extremely
long one. Like all his public ut
terances, however, it is brim full Of in
formation, suggestion, advice and
even exhortation. His style is master
full.
Most messages of such length would
be accounted dull except to academi-
clans; not 60 this one. 1t is 80 sub
) divided that one may, ifnot interested
in them all, readily reach the topic
that interests him most, and read the
Presidents treatment of it.
The Presidents views are already
50 well known on the large topics OF
national interest, that little that is
new was expected. And little that is
new is given, but the old is treated in
fashion that leaves no doubt as to
the meaning or the sincerity Of his
utterances.
Whether one agrees with him or
not, his broad grasp Of matters Of ire
mendous public importance cannot
be well disputed, and the clearness Of
his presentation Of them is extra
ordinary.
More emphatically than ever does
the President show that it is not the
power Of corporations, of wealth, of
political influence that he antago-
nizes, but the abuse of them, and
against these abuses he proposes to
continue the fight.
