Maine Gossip
A Southern Girl

Her boots are slim and neat
She is vain about her feet,
1t is said.
She amputateS her RS,
But her eyes are like the stars
Overhead.
'Tis matter of regret,
She's a bit of coquette,
Whom l sing:
On her cruel path she goes
With a half-a-dozen beaux
To her string.
The singing of sweet Phyllis
Like the silver laughing ril is,
And her breath is like the lily's,
In the dawn.
AS graceful as the dipping. I.
Summer swallow or the skipping
OF lambkin is her tripping
Ger the lawn.
Beyond poets fancies.
Though the muse had kissed his glances
Is her dmple when il dances
In a smile
Oh. the havoc it is making
Days of sorrow, nights of waking
Half score of hearts are aching
All the while.
Samuel Minturn Peck,

The Maine Girl.

written for the Kennebec JournalD
The Maine girls just as clipper
Just as trim and cute a clipper,
AS we vow.
She pronounces right her rs
And her eyes eclipse the stars y
With their shine. =
She can f1irt as all girls can,
But she picks the proper man
For her prey.
And she coquettes just enough
To show she's up to snuff
Then she's away.
The Southern girls a lily,
And she seems sometimes some silly,
We may err,
But she lacks the Northern's snap:
If for us she sets her cap,
We will whirr.

Why Fernaid Will Be Elected.

Dear Slr:-ln $50 words or 40, could
you give me your views as to who will
be elected the next governor of Maine
and why? To be included with others in
expressions from all over Maine. Send
today If you so decide.
The above was sent out by an out
Of State paper of wide circulation to
prominent citizens of Maine. Some of
the replies have been published-if
they We're favorable to the policy of
the paper-and some have not. The
following is one from a solid, repre-
sentative citizen of the central part of
the State which was NOT published
it speaks for itself and tells why:
-. August 81, 1910
Dear Sir:-YOu ask me to give you
my views as to who will be elected
the next governor of Maine. and why?"
| think Bert NJ. Fernald will be
elected by plurality exceeding 10000
1t is claimed that the Republican
vote has fallen off This is not true.
In the notable struggle of 1880. when
the Republicans were defeated by the
honored father of the present Demo-
cratic candidate, the Republican vote
was 1854
In 1908 it was 1854
and during the 80 years. the
average Republican vote at the
September elections twas II, 156
In some of these elections little eff
fort was made by the Democrats, and
the Republicans rolled up large
pluralities over weak opponents, nomi-
mated with.the expectation of defeat.
In 1906 the Democrats had the hope
and many Republican politicians the
fear that the disaffection of the rum
element of the Republican party,
which had been practically excluded
from the party by it's stand on the
great questions of "Resubmission" and
the retention of the "Sturgis law"
would so weaken the Republican and
strengthen the Democratic party that
there was good reason for the Demo-
Gratis to hope for victory.
With this in view, the Democrats
nominated generally. throughout the
State the strongest and most reputable
candidates they had ever presented.
and again in 1908 showed equal wis

party. and to support their position on
Resubmission and the Sturgis law.
were furnished with all the needed
funds to pay the expenses of their
campaign.
Against this the Republicans stood,
more steadfastly than ever before, for
their avowed principles. and notwith-
standing the array against them won
the fight by pluralities of, in 1906, s.
O64 and in 1908. 1858 This reduced
plurality in 1908 was because of the
considerable number of Republicans
who had for years been associated with
Mr.. Gardner in the Patrons of Hus-
bandry, and voted as they did because
of personal regard for him. and not for
love of his party.
Under these circumstances. l regard
the Republican successes in 1906 and
1908 the most notable and honorable
victories the party has ever won. and
believe the Democratic party then
came nearer to victory than it ever
will again. and hence I predict the in
crease in the plurality of Gov. Fernald.
Yours respectfully.

THE VERMONT ELECTION.

There is nothing deeply significant in
the election returns in Vermont Tues
day They reveal no rising tide Of in
surgcncy The tariff and other national
issues cut no figure whatever in the
campaign The plurality for the Republi-
can state ticket is not abnormally low for
an Off year, but is is undoubtedly several
thousand dollars less than it would have
been with a popular candidate for gov
ernor decrease Of approximately TO-
600 i'm the Republican vote and an in
crease Of approximately 5000 in the Demo-
cratic vote as compared with the presi-
dental vote Of 1905 is not accounted for
wholly by the heavy rain storm which
prevailed throughout the state Several
thousand mon nominaly Republicans
were SO apathetic that they did not come
90 the polls and 2oo0 20 5000 Of the same
class undoubtedly voted the Democratic
ticket The extent to which Dr. Mead
ran behind the rest Of the state ticket is
not apparent with the incomplete returns
now at hand, but indications are that
1900 or more Republicans rejected Mead
but accepted the rest of the ticket In
Wiudham county Mead was about 100
votes behind Slack, his running mate. In
Washington county the city Of Mont
pelicr and the towns Of Northfeld and
Berlin gave Slack 2oG more votes than
were cast for Mead
The campaign will not be without tam
gihlc results after the smoke has clear
ed away. Vermont has undoubtedly seen
the end of large expenditures Of money
for campaign purposes. The demand for
law making public campaign expenses

laturc will not ignore it. Or. Mead GER
tainly was not worse in his employment
Of hired workers and in the forceful
methods Of campaigning than several Of
the men elected to the Goyernorship be-
fore him, but he had no great personal
popularity in the beginning. ne came into
the field at a time when the people were
getting disgusted with the methods re-
ierred To, and his refusal TO make public
his campaign expenses when prodded
made him vulnerable candidate.
The campaign is over. peace and har-
mony prevail again, and Republicans gen.
orally will face the future in the spirit
shown 10y the St Albans Messenger in
the following sensible statement:
Dr john \ Mead is elected governor
of Vermont on the first Wednesday Of
