FOR JUDGE SAVAGE.
Strong Pressure Being Brought to
Make Him I'd District Candidate.

Lewiston. Me. March 25.-1n spite of
the horde Of candidates for the Repub-
lican nomination for Congress from the
Second District who have already an
nounced themselves, there is a feeling,
gaining strength every hour, that the
man who can lead his party to victory
or the man who can secure the nOmi-
nation from his fellows without cauS-
ing bitter factiOnal dissatisfaction, has
not yet consented to run. The leaders
have passed three sleepless nights
since
Judge Savage has met all advances
in this direction with emphatic state
ments that he is not. nor will he be,
a candidate. To this the party leaders
are about ready to reply that no man
is greater than his party and that if
II is shown that the party needs him
in this crisis. he will be obliged to re-
spond. The work on the bench is con-
genial to Judge Savage and he would
certainly be greatly missed by the
other members. The work required of
a representative to Congress is not at
all congenial at times and Judge Saw
age is aware of this fact.
