Or. Aronzo Garcelon's Tenderness on
Heart Had Much to Do with His
Election as Governor OF
Maine

In the autumn Of 1879 found my
self in Maine reporting the exciting
gubernatorial campaign that was be-
ing waged between the Greenback and
Democratic parties on one side and
the Republican party on the other
It was a campaign that was regarded
Of national consequence because It
might serve as a barometer to show
the probable result OF the presidential
election Of the following year.
Arriving in Lewiston, called on the
late Nelson Dingley, who had been
governor Of the state in 1915 and a
political power in Maine since the
sixties
by the way" he said, after he had
given me the Republican side of the
campaign, have you met the gentle
man whom the Democracy and the
Greenoack party have placed In nom
