Hon. William 7. Haines of Waterville
was in Portland last Saturday, in the
interest of his candidacy for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor. He said
that campaign "of Justification and
Misrepresentation has been waged
against him. He defended his position
regarding resubmission and claimed
that the prediction he made months
ago that there was to be great tenn
perance wave sweep over the country
has been verified, and he is confident
that if the constitutional amendment
were to be resubmitted it would be re-
affirmed.

Miss Mildred Shute, the organist, did ad-
mirable work and great credit is due her
for the success of the day. The solos given
by Miss II. N. Roulstone and MIR. VIM
Robertson were we'll rendered and enjoyed.
The entire parish extend to Mr.. Robertson,
the leader, and to his assistants, hearty

joce that Easter Day.

The demand for resubmssslon orlgl-
mated with the Democrats and was de-
signed as move toward license or tree
RIM. The temperance wave which Is
sweeping over the country shows no"
futile it would be to attempt to carry
such a measure in Maine at this tlme'
and many weeks ago Hon. L. M. Staples
who has been talked of as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, declared
resubmission to be dead issue. so
far as the Republican party is CONCERN
ed its policy will be proclaimed IN the
platform upon which the candloate LOT
Governor will stand. The personal
opinions Of candidates must give way
to the edict of the party; and the legls-
lature, and not the governor, makes the
laws.

Hon. Bert M. Fernald is unfortunate
in his newspaper organ. In his contest
for the gubernatorial nomination four
wears ago it contributed largely to his
defeat by it's attacks upon Republicans,
and a Democratic campaign sheet was
made No wholly from its columns. 1t
is pursuing like tactics this year. When
it assails a man like Hon. William L.
Haines whose ability, high character
and staunch Republicanism are uni
yersally recognized it is digging a pit In
which it's candidate will be buried.

In the third Congressional district
matters are taking their usual course.
The Democrats have put up man to
lead their forlorn hope and Congress
man Burleigh will be returned by the
usual majority. Not SO in the second
district. Out of half dozen or more
candidates for the Republican nomina-
ton the contest seems to have narrow
ed down to Hon. John P. Swasey OF
Canton and Hon. Harold NJ. Sewall OF
Bath. Knox county wants the Demo-
cratic nomination for Congressman and
Hon. j. H. Montgomery of Camden Is
candidate, and his friends say he has
the support of Knox. Lincoln and Saga

Lewiston, who made the contest against

candidate, but has not made an an

This is a specimen of the campaign
methods of the Lewiston journal:
"a class in the University of Maine
got to discussing the Fernald-Halnes
Candidacy for governor" writes CORE
spondent. FINALLY vote was taken.
There were 81 votes, of which AZ were
for Fernald and ia for Halnes.
The Bangor Commercial questioned
the several presidents of the Junior,
Sophomore and Freshmen classes, a
representative of the Senior class, and
the correspondent of the paper quoted,
and they all stamped the item as I'M
quali6edly false. They all emphatically
stated that the "Fernald- Haines candi-
dacy" had not been brought up in any
of the class meetings; that most assur-
edly no vote had been taken by any
class. and that no attempt had been
made to secure an expression OF the
views of the individual classes or the
students generally upon this matter.
As announced in The Journal some
time ago Hon. Bertram l.. Smith OF
Patten will be candidate for Attorney
General before the legislature to be
elected next September. AS to his emf
nent qualifications for the position
there can be no question. His record as
county attorney for eight of the most
strenuous years in the history OF Pc
nabscot County, and his excellent ser
vice as representative in the 73rd legls-
lature are sufficient evidence on this
point. AS Penobscot County has not
furnished Maine with an attorney
general since 1878, while Knox, waldo,
Hancock, Aroostook, Cumberland ana
Kennebec have been so Represented,
most of them twice, it would seem that
| it was time for Penobscot County TO oe
remembered.
