R, !. nITTEh OUT FOR
THE LEGISLATURE
His Name II Sure to Meet With Gen.
eral Approval By the Public.

: The Observation-Disclosures greets
with hearty approval the announce
nlent of r. T. Patten as candidate
for the Legislature.
Mr.. Patten served for two years as
town treasurer and for ten years as
treasurer a. Somerset County, his
term Of service being longer than that
OF any incumbent Of the Office, preced
ing or following him. His admins
tration was regarded as very efficient
and the record made in these posi-
tions of trust commends him to the
voters OF akowhegan in his present
candidacy. 1t IL easy to speak Of him
as a man Of the masses rather than
of the CLASSES for his make up and
mental tendency entirely warrants that
assertion A pleasant and affable
manner are his natural characters
tics, and 1t n probable that, of those
who read this statement. Mr.. Patten
will be the most surprised, for cour-
,teousness 10 10 ingram in his nature
that 1t would never occur to him that
1t was worthy Of comment.
Mr. Patten has always been active
in any movement for the betterment
of conditions in our town and State.
His habit is to follow one thing per-
sistently until finally accomplished.
The Initiafive and Referendum is an
incident In point. The first bill for
this law presented to the Legislature
came through his instrumentality.
Later he became the press representa-
tive of the Maine Initiative and Ref
endum League and his efforts were an
important factor in finally establish
ing this principle of Direct Legisla-
ton as the tenth amendment to the
constitution of Maine. He has now
turned to Direct Primaries and no
one doubts that the enactment of this
most desirable legislation will be
greatly hastened by his efforts.
Mr.. Patton was one Of the founders
of the Marston Worsted Mills, the
treasurer Of that corporation, and has
been active IN other ways in promot-
ing the welfare of this community.
Mr.. Pattsn has no love for machine
methods la oaitics or any delicacy in
letting people know where he stands
His proEer of support to Judge Pow
ers in his candidacy for the senator
ship was made Immediately on hear
Ing that that gentleman was in the
field. No one who has the slightest
acquaintance with Mr.. Patten will
doubt that, IL elected to the Legisla-
ture, he will vote for his election to
the United States Senate from first
to last, in spite of any pressure that
could be brought to bear upon him.
The Independent-Report and it's
predecessor has rarely felt justified
in expressing Its preference for the
candidacy of any one seeking nomin-
alton for political Office. We welcome
the present opportunity. however, to
depart In a measure from our past
custom, and take pleasure in speak
ing the above we'll deserved words of
commentator.

AN attempt was also made to have a
bogus check cashed, to which Jones'
name had been signed. The bans
at which it was presented refused to
cash it because it did not know tho
colored man who presented it,
Jones had been reading of the dut,
the white race owed the colored man
and concluded he would hire a negr,

white help. He sent to a Southerl
agency which supplied him. The farm

In Life Insurance, there are but TWO
main points to consider; absolute sat-
ty, ana lowness Of cost.
As to the first, The Union Central is
absolutely unquestioned
As 10 the latter. our very economic Il
management, together with the high
est percent of interest on our invest
ments of any life insurance company
makes it possible for US to furnish IN
surance at the lowest cost.
That we are doing this is proven by
