For the Reporter
Want to be a Candidate.


Well. wei, I've been holding back to see
What call to office would come to me.
Have been thinking, simple fellow as am
That the office should always seek the man.
And I've waited long; was willing to wait,
But clearly see now that attn too late.
The office OF commissioner | would gladly
take,
but every man meet is II candidate.
And they all think they'll surely win
If III give up the field and let them in.
So I'll hold back, they can have the way
And II ght 1t out rs best they may.
The office of sheriff. 1t would cheer my heart
If could get in there and have part.
But there, so many candidates are about
1t would be too bad to cut them out,
Too bad, after they've started In to win the
race
For me to go in and take the place.
II could he a senator. certainly would.
Ii had announced In time, think should,
But somehow held back, held back you see
And let a dozen candidates get ahead of me.
In the connections to come they'll be there
Everyone ready for n senators chair.
As for County Attorney. you can safely bet
| would make the rum sellers get up and get,
| wouldn lay back and my duty shirk;
Have the governor call another to do my
work,
But can't get the office its now too late
For me to push in and be q candidate
ought to go to the Legislature; know ought,
But there Is such battle to be fought
And SO much to do to clear the set away
That will fall back now to the rear
And await my chance some other year.
Would like to lie senator, sheriff commits
sioner. or the like.
Anywhere on the ticket would be ready to
strike
Don't care much with wat party I'm con
nected
Ill can get the nomination and then get
elected
Let 1t he one or the other in the wrong or
the right,
VIII take any Office that may be in sight.
There should be at least one office more
Which would leave to me an open door
TO enter and get salary in figures high
Which no doubt Will come in the bye and

Just create the office claim tbs mine,
An ONCE to make all the others toe the

Pertinent Political Pointers

From the calais Times of March D. 1909
"sBill Haines has done more to,de-
yelop the state of Maine than any
Republican candidate for governor in
the memory of the present genera
tion,n remarked a we'll known party
leader the other day. Look over his
record with its splendid list of
achievements in law, in legislation,
numbering, mills, water systems, rail-
reading and general business. He
not only carries on vast personal in
terests but finds time to do a great
deal for the state. Witness the de-
velopment of our fish and game in
dustry which is directly attributable
to Mr.. Haines, as is our two cent
mileage rate, our state roads bureau
and other reforms. The people
should be for Haines, and they are.
A few days ago Hon. VIM. T. Haines
of Waterville, whom almost all Maine
now believes will be the next COVER
nor of the State, was talking with
some gentlemen in regard to his posi-
ton on the temperance question. Mr..
Haines was advocating resubmission
and stating his belief that a vote
would result in the retention of the
present law and a cessation, for a
while at lie asst, of the agitation over
the matter, with the added result that
enforcement would be much more eff
ficient and easier If the officers are
made aware that the law has the ma
jority OF the people behind it.
"If you had wild beast in cage
would you let it out Mr.. Haines?"
asked one gentleman.
Indeed l would and quickly if |
had enough men with me to kill the
critter. That would stop all worry
lest he might escape" responded Mr..
Haines. And there are many good
temperance people all over the State
who would like to get chance at
1.-The critter."
The Somerset reporter., 1908-04-02

Almost to a man the CONNIE rcial
travellers are for Haines in the polit
zeal contest now on. They are ener-
getic and are putting in lots of good
work for the Waterville candidate.
The boys on the road are compelled
to do pretty lively stunt themselves
and they quickly recognize hustle
when they see it. eve like Haines,"
said one the other day, "because he is
clean grit and hustle all the time. |
know he began late in this fight but
he is on the last quarter now and the
others will get the flag" Possibly a
bit slangy but expressive.
The Haines enthusiasm is not con-
tent with keeping in the usual bounds
and clubs are being formed in several
of the cities of the state. Clubs in
Bangor and Waterville will be launch
ed within week and more will fol-
low. Republicans all over the state
are fond of "Bill'' Haines and his ban
ner Is becoming more popular one
every day.
Any political prophets who have
figured any considerable portion of
Penobscot county out of the Haines
column in the race for the Republi-
can nomination for governor have
reckoned falsely judging by the
ovation that was given Mr.. Haines
in Bangor, Wednesday evening when
the Waterville candidate was intro
duced as "the next governor of
Maine" and the 125 prominent citi-
zens present at the banquet jumped
to their feet and shouted their well
come. This is The more significant
that the occasion was not in any sense
political one and few of those
present knew that Mr.. Haines was to
be there, 1t was spontaneous ova-
ton and clearly showed the keen es-
TEEN in which Mr.. Haines is held in
the Queen City of the East.
