16.1 100 new cases and 7.743 deaths. as

Cannon Is being deserted in high quar-
tiers and low.
Kinds is making a lively campaign,
speaking every night in hamlet and town.
He is hampered for campaign funds. how
ever, as his contest for the nomination
was expensive and he is a poor man.
Some OF his friends in Maine think that
the republican leaders would do well to
aid in preventing a democrat from being
elected in September from the old Reed
district, a district which ought to hand
over 5000 republican majority.
In the second district Mr.. Swasey, the
republican incumbent. is being opposed
by Dan McGillicuddy. brilliant demo-
crat from Lewiston. He is wonderful
talker and is making rafting campaign.

Inc OBSTRUCTION OF the polltlcal organ
ization of which Senator Hale is the
head is the object of an aggressive faction
of republicans. and his re-entry into poll
tics after declaring that he was through
would be as a red petticoat to a mad bo-
vine.
Naturally, the democrats are trying to
push the good work along. and the DEM
ocratic press speaks most highly of Sen
ator Hale as the grand old man of the
state, saying that il would be pity for
the state to lose his services and all that
sort Of thing. These Maine. democrats
are a wicked lot and always trying TO
stir up trouble for honest republicans who
only want to be let alone while they cut
each others throats.
The congressional fight in Maine is con-
fined principally to two districts. the
Asher Kinds district and the Swasey dis
trict. The best Judgment is that Asher

No Tall Pine In Delegation.

Now there Is not a tall pine in the
Maine delegation in the House towering
above the scrub timber. With the pros
pect Of Senator Hale going out and Sena-
tor Frye not in strong health. Maine Is
likely to be lost in the shuffle, 1t is fear
ed. They have argued to Senator Hale
that he should not quit at this time.
They say that Judge Powers or Mr.. Bur-
leigh, competent as they unquestionably
are. will have to serve their apprentice
ship before they can attain to power
and influence in the Senate. and that
meanwhile Names interests In Congress,
always considerable, may suffer.
1t Is claimed that Senator Hale was
induced to announce his retirement at a
time when he was i'll. His friends want
him to give the people of the state an OPP
portunity to pass on the question Of re-
tirement and they are after him most
on that point.
From what / have gathered as to the
temper Of q section OF the republican
party Of Maine, Senator Hale's declara-
tions Of his intention to reconsider his
and enter the senatorial race
would be about the finishing blow to re-
publican prospects September IL. Har-
mony would be impossible. and the way
the knives would fash at the polls would

Strong pressure is being brought to bear
on Senator Hale to reconsider his an

No one is authorized to say how Senator
Hale feels on the subject, though 1t is
announced that the Establishments OF the
wooers are very gratifying to him.
The men who are making the effort
point out that Names representation in
the Congress of the United States at the
presentvtime is in sad contrast with for
mer days. They recall that q few years
ago Maine held a dominant position in
Congress. There was Thomas B. Reed
in the Speakers chair; Representative

affairs; Milliken, chairman of public build
ings and grounds: Senator Frye. president
