Eugene Hale, Defeated for Reelection
to Congress by stoneeutter Named

Eugene Hale, who retired from the
United States senate last March. is to-
day the country's most famous man

any other member now in the senate,

In print how. after he had been q
county attorney for nine years, n
member OF the Maine legislature for
two years and a member of the lower
house OF congress for i've terms he
began his political career all over

A few days after Mr.. Hale had
been sworn In as a United States SEN

Maine politics and then reminded
Mr.. Feed that in 1879. when stone
