Asher is in a Strateglcal location Tor
the good of the Republican party tins
year. Ii Cumberland comes III with
Republican majority, the Democratic
hopes of making as good showing as
two years ago go giimmering. But IL
there is one Republican in Cumberland
vino can carry that county by an old
fashioned majority it is the candidate
for Congress.
He has no reason to worry about ms
own election to Congress but with
characteristic unSelfishneSS he has
pulled off his coat and has been max
ing d vigorous canvass from one end
of the district to the other. He is doing
his utmost to arouse interest among
the rank and file of the voters in bring
ing the different party elements in the
district together for harmonious
campaign and every day is making 1t
more certain that the majority in Sep
TENDER will be a little larger than 1t
was supposed possible to make it.
The people down this way take kind
ly to the leadership of such Repuhll-
can as Asher Kinds. He has high ideals
about political management. His integ-
rity in public and private life is above
suspicion. He $ the type Of man that
Maine people like to have represent
them at Washington. The thunderings
of Democratic Candidate Pencil
against him have no effect. Although
Mr.. Pennell is highly regarded by the
citizens of Cumberland, he has never
attained to the high standing which
Mr. Kinds enjoys. Mr. Pencils equip

coded to be inferior. even if he pos
sesses other qualifications which Mr..
Kinds has for a seat in Congress.
Candidate Kinds is receiving daily
evidences of the interest that the rest
of the country has in his canvass. he
is known to every member of the Ma
tjonal House personally and it is well
within the truth to say that there are
a great many Democratic congressman
who in their hearts hope he will be
elected. Uncle Amos Allen, who de-
clined to be a candidate for another
term. proposes to do little stirring
around in York county in behalf of
his old friend, but even though York
was the stronghold of Uncle Amos 1t 1
will be no surprise if Asher carries
it by quite as large a majority as has
been polled for any Republican candl-
date there in recent years
The speakers from a distance, who
come into Maine. very generally tarry
here in the 1st District. Portland will
have q galaxy of orators of both par
ties from now on. The Republicans,
however, are relying much upon their
home talent. who know the people and
the local politics. The orators who
come to speak for the Republicans
will be forceful men. who have prov
en- their worth in the public service.
The campaign managers in this part of
the state rely great deal upon the
persuasive arguments of their own
nominees.
The Democrats. as usual, are urging
a number of Massachusetts speakers to
some into the 1st and I'd Districts.
Ever since the 1906 campaign in the I'd
District the Democrats have been
bringing a number of orators from 9TH
err states, in spite of the fact tina. after
the votes are counted it is always
shown that the district still adheres to
the Republican faith, While the DEM
ocratic orators are making grandilo-
quent speeches. theS Republican work
ers are busy talking with their neigh
bors and emphasizing the necessity of
getting out to the polls on election day.
This close hard work is counted upon
this year to increase the majority in
the western section of Maine.
