Light for the D. X. ].

The Kennebec Journal takes itself
altogether too seriously. 1t announc-
ed In its issue of Wednesday morn
ing that it, the Daily Kennebec Jour
nal, has no candidate to announce
at this time" And then the Daily
Kennebec Journal adds that 1T is
content to await the full and free ex-
preston of Republican sentiment
throughout the State
Ye gods! We vertically believe the
insurgency bee Is getting in its work
on the Journal. Up to the present
moment the Journal has never been
content to let anyone except the d
X. J. nominate any man for Office,
and as for awaiting any full and free
expression" it was never known to do
that before. 1t has always employed
the gag methods in politics.
But light Is misunderstanding for
the D. X. J. and some others, and oh,
how blessed that light must be!

Hale will Retire

Senator Eugene Hale has retired
from the fight for reelection. Rumors
have been current to this effect for q
long time but no intimation came
from Washington that the Senator
had read carefully the handwriting
which appeared so clearly on the wall.
Last week, however, Senator Hale
came on to Boston and there met a
number of his friends who canvassed
the situation as 1t then existed In
Maine. 1t Is clear that they found the
situation most alarming and that
Judge Powers fences have been
strongly built from Kittery to Fort
Kent. 1t seemed to them useless to
make a fight and the Senator went
back to Washington determined, so 1t
is stated, to announce his retirement
in a short time.
We heartily commend Senator Hale
in deciding to act in this way. He has
served the State of Maine as best he
knew how for many long years and II
would have been more or less painful
for those who have helped put him In
office to have helped remove him. The
strange thing to US Is that he has
waited thus long before taking the
matter seriously and giving some an

Bewildered

The Portland Argus has tried to
laugh us out of the idea that Asher
Kinds. the famous parliamentarian OF
Congress and a splendid product OF
the old Pine Tree State, might be
elected to the office of Speaker in
case he should get the nomination in
the First Maine District According
to newspaper report there is a move
ment on foot to elect him to that po-
sition even without his being elected
as a member of the Congress.-Som-
erset Independent Reporter.
That is different proposition. But
that movement" to elect Mr.. Kinds
as a non-partisan Speaker is not to
be taken seriously. And advance to
the Speakership by the old route is a
rough road to travel Should Asher
Kinds get the nomination in this dis
trict. his subsequent election is by
no means a foregone conclusion in
this year of political surprises. But
should he be elected, the chances OF
his election to the Speakership would
be hardly less remote. Neither MIR
Kinds nor any other Republican will
be elected Speaker. The next House
of Representatives is going to be
controlled by the Democrats.-Port-
land Argus.
If the Argus and some other Demo
cratic Maine papers would really get
down out of their aeroplanes and hob
mob with more of their neighbors they
would discover that there is no more
likelihood of the next Congress being
Democratic than there was of this
present Congress being Democratic.
1t has always been true, and we
presume always will be true, thai
whenever a little rivalry has sprung
up among those of the Republican
persuasion, the Argus and it's fellows
have begun the old yell; This Is
surely a Democratic year" No year
is Democratic year unless the Dem
ocratic party gets something more
tangible to build it's hopes upon than
some good healthy rivalry among
those of the opposite camp.
And the Argus gets bewildered in
its argument, exactly as in the above
quotation. To state that Asher Kinds
Is not likely to be elected Speaker
because the House is going to be
Democratic is one method-the Argus
method-of sidetracking argument.

Entitled to the Nomination

The announcement contained In the
press of Wednesday morning ana
given elsewhere in these columns OF
the withdrawal from the senatorial
contest of Eugene Hale will not come
as a great surprise to those VINO
have carefully followed the recent
trend OF politics In Maine. In fact,
his announcement has been fore
gone conclusion for some weeks
past; it could not have been other
wise In view of the very remarkable
fight which Judge Powers has been
making for the Senator's place In
Washington.
One of the chief objections which
has been made by the so-termed reg
ulars" to the Powers candidacy Is
that 1t has not come about through
the regular procedure of events. In
other words, Judge Powers was not
the machine candidate. In view OF
this fact, the regulars" have used as
an argument the idea that Judge
Powers was in fair way to disrupt
the Republican party and turn the
State over to the Democracy. Such
AN idea seemed preposterous.
We shall now be interested In
watching the development of affairs
to see II the regulars" are wise
enough to concede the nomination to
Judge Powers and not put forward a
candidate of their own. Thus far,
Judge Powers has won out In this
fight and most assuredly would have
won out against Senator Hale, his
statement to the contrary notwith-
standing. He is now entitled to the
nomination for the United States
Senate without contest from the Re-
publican party of Maine.

The name of ex-Gov. William T
Cobb has been used in connection
with the senatorial contest. He has
not yet announced that he will be a
candidate against Judge Powers and
we are inclined to believe that he
will not announce himself as such a
candidate. Whoever undertakes to
wrest the prize from Judge Powers at
this late day has a task on his hands
that Is herculean. The Judge has
not been engaged in this same con-
test for half dozen years for moth
ing. Those of his friends who have
been loyal to him in this opening
campaign will resent any Interior
ence now from those of the Republi-
can party who have not heretofore
been candidates.

is admirable. The fact that the reso-

indication that when 1t comes to a
