the quorum by absenting themselves
from the session are outside the state

naming % days Of the executive ses-
sion. Election laws recently passed

Can't Disercdit senator Hale,
tAaeusta err. sa,.aer Com n,erctnll

(Aagusta err, Bangor Commercially
The efforts of some OF the republican
party to discredit Senator Hale with the
rank and file of the party has utterly
failed. On all sides the Commercial cor
respondent hears praise for Senator Hale
who for so long time has occupied such
distinguished position in the national
councils. One of the younger members of
the upper branch of the Maine legislature
said to the Commercials ~ am not at all
influenced by the hostility which a few
people are showing towards Senator Hale.
evidently from personal motives. These
attacks are nor in the least doing harm to
Senator Hale. The politician who thinks
that the younger element of the party
does not keep in touch with affairs is very
much mistaken.
II think that can say that represent
the younger element of the party. and
those with whom l talk agree with me
that it would be calamity if anything
should happen to retire Senator Hale from
public life. 1t is well known that no man
in Congress exerts a more powerful in
~
well known that his influence is used in
| the interests of good government. He is
not only able and experienced and con-
servative, but he is an honest man, and no
scandal has attached to his name during
the long time which he has been in public
| life.
"1f he came up for reelection by the
present Maine legislature he would receive
the endorsement of his party, with whom
be was never more popular than at the
present time. trust it may be so that
Senator Hale will be able to come to
Augusta during the session OF the present
legislature. He will receive right hearty
welcome, and will have the fact impressed
upon his mind that he has the esteem and
the confidence Of Maine republicans"
This sentiment voluntarily given By one
OF the young men is re-echoed by others
not only by members OF the legislature,
but BY many others who work in the
ranks Of the party.

question: "Where 10 Col. Halef'' because
there seemed toibe . general feeling that
his candidacy would be very promptly an

He was on his way home from Washing
ton when the news reached here that
Uncle Amos had decided to Withdraw
from Congress. He said nothing by the
way Of retiring from politics, but as soon
as he reached here and came down to his
office his candidacy was announced, but
not until there was q gathering OF noted
workers to meet him. He only made the
formal announcement and said that at the
proper time he should communicate fur
Their with the people OF the district.
He was the first in the field, and there
are many who are Of the opinion that he is
practically assured in advance OF the nomi-
nation. When he came here people won
dered what sent him away from his own
section of the State, but he soon showed
them that he was not to be kept out OF
politics even by the old guard of this
county.
Col. Hale has been and is q forceful per-
sonality here. He has had more to do
with politics and with the real work OF
many campaigns than almost any other
man, and he is to-day closely identified
with public institutions OF a benevolent
nature. He is a very busy man, and it had
been long understood that he would make
fight for the succession whenever Mr..
Allen retired.

Time tests all things, but the able and
adroit young politician has many things
in his favor, not the least being that he
will be in position to solicit in advance
the support of many men, and the very
fact that he is in the field and that the
other candidates are not, that his caudi-
dacy has been already and frankly avowed
while they are debating what to do and
when to do it, may give him d long lead

Raise Potatoes


Arrangements are being made for a
farmers institute to be held in Ellis
worth in March, when Commissioner
Of Agriculture A. W. Gilman and some
practical potato-grower from Aroos-
took county, will address the farmers
Of this section in regard to potato
raising.
The institute will be devoted solely
to this topic, with the view of in
structing and interesting the farmers
OF Hancock county in the potato in
dustry on . large scale. The matter
was set on foot by II. F. Maddocks, of
North Ellsworth, and is being pro-
NOTED by the Ellsworth board Of
trade.
There Ia no reason why potatoes
cannot be raised here az successfully
as In Aroostook county. This has al
ready been demonstrated, and farm
ers in many sections of Hancock
county have during recent years gone
more extensively into potato raising.
At North Ellsworth this year more
potatoes were raised than ever before,
and that section this fail shipped it's
FIRST carload of potatoes.
There is no trouble in finding a
market. A prominent Ellsworth bust
ness concern stands ready to erect a
potato house and buy and ship po-
tatoes as soon as the product of this
section will warrant it.
Commissioner Gilman, himself a
successful potato grower, says there
is no reason why the farmers of this
section should not reap some of the
golden harvest which for years has
been flowing into Aroostook county as
returns from its potato crop.
