DIR. F. 4. LE|TCH GOES
To AUBURN
Made Good Progress In Methodist
Church Work Here.

DR.. F. A. Leitch. for five years pas
tor of the Methodist Episcopal church
here, will with his family go to Au-
burn this week to assume his new
pastorate. Dr. Leitch during his stay
here has not only been an excellent
pastor but valuable citizen. He
has always been interested in all
civic questions and has taken an &C
tive part in the welfare of the town.
Much good work has been done in
the Methodist church since he became
it's pastor 1t was through his eff
forts that the Brotherhood of St.
Paul was instituted and has been
maintained. This organization is
one that many of the citizens have
taken an interest in and the most i'm
portant current subjects are taken up
from time to time and discussed.
Through the efforts of DR.. Leitch a
vested choir has been formed which
is the only one in town. 1t is under
the leadership of Mrs. William H.
Emery. The Laymen's Bible League
of the church was organized by DR..
Letch. In the five years DR.. Leitch
has performed Sc marriages, has bap-
tized forty-three people; 81 members
have joined the church by letter and
Al have come into the church on pro-
baton. Dr. Leitch came here from
Old Orchard.
Rev. Frank L. Haywood, who is to
come here from Auburn as the new
pastor is highly recommended and is
an excellent speaker.

politics and some who were formerly
active.
To give list of these people would
be to name about all of the men of
inent in the political business or pro-
Portland who have been at all prom
fessional life of Portland. And they
were all so enthusiastic that they
were just bubbling over with enthusi-
asm.
Men from ward and ward 2, which
the Hale forces claim to have a mort
gage upon, met those from the Deer
ing wards, from the wards up town
and from the towns surrounding Port
land 1t was veritable love feast
and those who were present came
away strongly impressed with Mr..
Kinds strength and convinced that he
will simply sweep everything before
him when the caucuses take place.
AS has been said, such a move as
this is an innovation in politics in this
city. No man unless he had the real
strength back of him which Mr.. Kinds
had, would have risked such a gather
ing as this. 1t was demonstration
stronger than any other could have
been of the coming tidal wave which
is bound to lift Mr.. Kinds into Con-
gress. 1t would be difficult to esti-
mate the number of men who attend
ed this reception. No one kept any
count of them or attempted to get any
perfected list. 1t would be a giants
task to enumerate all who were there
but conservative estimates placed the
number who attended this reception
between 900 and 700. Judging from
the crowd there seemed to be great
many more than this number.

Senator Aldrich authorized the an
nouncement Tuesday that he will
not be a candidate for reelection to
the Senate and that he will positive
ly retire at the expiration of his
present term on March 3, 1911.
This announcement was made to a
reporter who met the senator upon
his return to Washington from Rhode
Island where he had been in consul
tation with his political associates.
Il have decided not to be candi-
date again said the senator. Since
something of my plans has leaked
out already | would be glad to have
you make that statement | had not
intended to say anything for few
days, as | would have preferred to
have appraised my friends in Wash

Mr. Aldrich talked freely OF his de
termination to retire. Ill health
alone dictated his decision. During
his service in the Civil war he had a
long siege of typhoid fever and as a
result of that illness he has suffered
periodically with intestinal trouble
These discomforts have manifested
themselves when he has worked par
ticularly hard and have caused him
considerable worry.
