Looking for a Statesman for
Governor

, The announcement of Mr.. Shaw's
candidacy will be hailed with much de-
light by a good many people in Maine.
When Colonel Boothby came out pub
licly for governor and asked for sup
mort. many of our citizens turned to
him In the hope that he would make
a vigorous canvass in his own behalf
In every nook and corner of Maine.
In a recent interview he practically
admitted his certain defeat when he
said that he was not posing as
fighter and old-time campaigner and,
II we may infer correctly that he did
not propose to go up and down the
State calling peoples attention to his
candidacy. We should like to suggest
to the good Colonel that he will never
get public Office without leading his
forces, and the chap who leads usual
ly goes ahead and blazes the trail.
We wonder II Colonel Boothby, in his
days as General Passenger and Ticket
Agent of the Maine Central road, ever
worked up successfully patronaged
excursion without a good dead of adj
vertising Campaigning for public Of
flee is good bit like booming an ex-
cursion; 1t requires lots of booming,
heaps of newspaper advertising, much
speechmaking to convince the folks
that have the votes, and a long, hard,
strenuous fight If Colonel Boothby
still insists upon his style of cam
paigning, we must mildly pass on with
a}sympathetic tear and word of
peace to his political ashes.
We said that a good many voters
turned TO Boothby. They turned to
him because they saw nothing better
in sight Thousands of citizens all
over Maine have no use for William
T. Haines, and 1t is growing more and
more manifest that he couldn't get
elected governor II he fought the good
fight until the millennium comes. The
reasons are obvious. He made the
mistake of his life when he whanged
away at Augusta In his declaration
for resubmission, and when he an
nounced 1t in his public letter as a
part of his political creed. 1t wasn't
the fact that he proclaimed himself
q resubmissonist; that Is rather popu
lar nowadays sort of a heroic way
of growing in the face of certain OPP
position But 1t was the way he did
1t, the motives that were back of 1t.
He was out for office and he was will
ing to do anything under heavens to
get himself comfortably seated In the
plush bottomed chair of the Chief Ex-
ecutive of the State of Maine. United
States of America. He Topped, and
the people of this and every enlighten-
ed age hates like sixty a topper. He
topped right out of the frying pan in
to a spider. and he has wasted more
reams of paper and licked more post
age than Theodore Roosevelt in his
frantic efforts to get himself we'll flop
ped back. And all the while the peo-
pie are shouting, Nay, nay, William"
And then again, the Waterville cam
paigner declared before the Bangor
convention that he would remain in
to the finish He didn't. When things
looked blue, as they sometimes do,
even in harmonious political conven-
