In an interview at Portland with
Press reporter Obadiah Gardner said
that he does not propose to surrender
his purpose to secure the election as
Senator from Maine for any other po-
sition which may be open to him, but
will remain in the fight until the vote
has been declared. He says he is re-
ceiving many assurances of support from
the senators and representatives.

and believes he has fighting chance.
The substituting of County Clerk for
Clerk of Courts onNthe official ballot at
the recent State election seems likely to
cause trouble, and we present on another
page an interesting article from the Ellis
worth American on the subject. 1t would
seem that the easiest way out of the
difficulty would be to decide that there
was no election of these officers and

RAISING as it is to the journalist himself,
gentility is being thrust upon him. So
ciety is beginning to recognize him as
respectable person.
This is the Introductory paragraph of
an article by an English writer and re-
fers to conditions in the British isles. In
this country the journalist has always
been treated as a gentleman when he
was such in his private capacity.
The Bridgeton News calls attention to
the fact, which some have overlooked,
that good many measures entrenched
in the constitution are beyond the reach
of a Legislative majority vote. Prohi-

Hon. William Tecumseh Haines of
Waterville is already being talked of by
the Republicans as their candidate for
governor of Maine in 1912. Mr.. Haines
is a strong man. 1t has already been
found that his famous idea about resub-
mission was not altogether wrong; but
IN supporting Mr. Fernald Mr.. Haines
practically abandoned that position.
Fort Fairfield Review.
That does not necessarily follow. AS
an individual Mr. Haines expressed him
self in favor of resubmission; but had he
been nominated instead of Fernald he
would have stood on the platform and
Loyalty carried out the policy of his
party. But for that declaration Mr..
Haines would no doubt have been nomi-
mated, and because of it he was subjected
to great deal of unjust criticism.

The many friends of Mrs. Mary A. Griffin
heard with deep regret of her passing away in
Westboro, Mass, October II, 1910, at the home
of her son, Mr.. John P. Griffin, where
she had resided for about twenty-five
years-since leaving Stockton. Mrs. Griffin
was born in Northport in 1881, the eld-
est child of the late Mr.. John and Mrs.
Roxanna (Staples) Peabody. Her father was
suddenly taken away and her mother returned
to her native town, bringing her three daugh-
tiers to live in the home of her father, the late
Alexander Staples. In 1850 Mary married
Capt. Peleg Griffin, son of the late Mr.. and
Mrs. John Griffin. One son, Mr.. John P. Crit
fin, was born to them before the young hus-
band died at sea, in 1856. Crushed by this ter

gifts from those who were privileged
to be there and also presents from
