Possibility of Withdrawal

Washington, October 2S.-The illness of Vice President sherman and specu- latlon over possibilities of his with drawal from the republican ticket be- cause of the precarious condition of his health aroused discussion here to- day over what methods would be taken of filling his place if necessary.
 The general opinion expressed was that the republican national committee or the executive committee possessed power to ill a vacancy upon the ticket No one here professes to know whether the Chicago convention specifically provided for such an emergency The report of the 1908 convention does not appear to show that such a provision was made then and the stem ographic report of the convention this year has not yet been printed
 should vacancy occur upon the re- publican ticket either before or after election some republican leaders today argued the electors would have power to vote for any candidate for vice Pres ident they might choose. Precedents were admitted to be lacking, but 1t was declared only party discipline and honor had in the past bound electors to vote for their party nominees. No one suggested, however that choice by the republican national committee or its executive committee would fail to receive the support of the Taft eiec- tors.
 Many Interesting Possibilities
 Ordinarily should there be no vice president the President pro tenn of the Senate would preside over that body and the line of succession to the presi- dency would be to the Secretary of State. For the last several months however, the present Senate had been unable 10 agree upon a president pro A. bod .tat Some time ago, i, was learned today, Chairman Charles D. Hilles of the re- publican national committee made ex- 'haustive inquiries as to the necessity of certifying to the various secretaries of states the names of the republican candidates and as result certified the names of Taft and sherman for print ing upon ballots in all states. A sup plemental petition, however. probably would be accepted in most states where ballots have not been already printed The procedure where ballots already have been printed was not known.
 The possibility, if even a remote one. that there might be no republican cam didate for vice president. suggests many interesting possibilities in the event the election should go to the House of Representatives.
 Doctors Make Statement
 Shortly before n o'clock tonight son of the Vice-president made public this statement signed by the attending physi- clans.
 After consultation tonight in the case of Vice President sherman, the diagnosis of weakened heart muscle. the result of overwork. with some kidney involvment. is confirmed. tSigned):

Best of All Physicians.

There is no physician like cheerful
thought for dissipating the ills of the
body; there is no comfort to compare
witt good will for dispensing the shad-
ows of grief and sorrow. To live con.
tinually in thoughts of ill-will, cyni-
cism, suspicion and envy, is to be con-
fined in self-made prison hole. But
to think we'll of all, to be cheerful
with all, to patiently learn to find the
good in all-such unselfsh thoughts
are the very portals of heaven; and to
dwell day by day in thoughts of peace
toward every creature will bring
Astounding peace to the possessor.-
James Allen.

Wilson'S Tarin Errors.

Governor Wilson informs the deaf
people that he believes that under low
tariff We will double or treble our pros
perity. Can he point out low tariff pc
riod In which we did double or treble our
prosperity Did the blessed low tsriiis
continue long, or did the country return
to protectiorf II he claimsl that the
Walker tariff lasted ten years, will he be
honest enough to point out the counter
acting influences that neutralized some OF
its evilsy
The governor need not quote . republic
can speech or look at republican paper
II he will read up the crash under Van
Buren,, as described by so good democrat
as Shepard in his "Life OF Van Buren,, IL
he will quote James Buehanan's account
Of the hard times under the low tariff OF
1857, he will find an excellent case for the
republicans.
Governor Wilson may not count Hor-
ace Greeley as . good democrat, stili he
was good enough to be q presidential
candidate. II he will read how the low
tariff OF 1893 worked out Its purpose, how
1t swept the country, how it broke up
poor Greeley's printing business, he will
not find that II doubled or trebled pros
perity.

For State Offices

With the knowledge that the next Iegis-
lature will be safely republican, attention
is now turned to the candidates for State
Offices to be filed by the legislative cleo
ton.
First interest in this vicinity is, OF
course, in the candidacy Of John A. Peters
OF Ellsworth, for speaker OF the House
The other candidates mentioned are Harry
b. Austin,o Phillips, Alton c. Wheeler, OF
South Paris, and Horace Mitchell, of Kit
terry.
For president of the Senate, Carl e. Mil
hken, of Island Falls, seems to have g
clear field to date.
Other candidates who have announced
themselves are Joseph E. Alexander, OF
Richmond, for secretary of state; Hon.
Scott Wilson, of Portland, for attorney
general, and Kendall NJ. Dunbar, of New
castle, for treasurer

The Old Hale Way.
Bangor Ters. |

Hon. J. Lucius Higgins. now q lawyer in
successful practice in Minnesota, but who was
. Maine stsdent, with . leaning toward the
law, recalls real scene. which took place in
an Ellsworth, Maine. courtroom, more than
forty years ago, when Hon. Arno wiswcil, the
father OF the late chief-Justice wisweii, and
then the admitted leader Of the Hancock
county bar, paid . very high compliment to
the legal ability Of Eugene Hale, of Ellsworth,
by contrasting that Hale was the only lawyer
ia Maine whom he feared to come up against
in court Even then Eugene Hale had won
the highest reputation OF any lawyer in
Maine - feared for his great legal talent,
really dreaded by other lawyers for his re-
sourcefulness and ability.
Senator Eugene Hale was constantly add
ing to hts reputation as q ccnsummate master
Of pure English diction all through his career
in both branches of Congress. He was the
quickest member in the Senate to recognize
ine deanitions and graphic speech. Natur-
ally. whenever sny admirer OF the former
senator gets ready to collect book and label
1t Seems from Eugene Hale, that book must
be certain TO receive great and early recog-
milton from the American reading public.
For instance, nothing finer tn the English
language can be found than Senator Haie's
brief and delightful euiogy OF the late
| Leweilyn Powers Of the old fourth Maine
district.
II seems that Eugene Hale Is not the only
| Hale in Maine who can "siing English
| beautifully and expressiveiy. The remarks
OF Judge Clarence Hale. Of Portland. & brother
Of the senator, which were made at the CEN
tennial dedieatory services OF an Ellsworth
church last week. were keeniy alive and
bristling with poesy and fact. At times the
iadge rose above the lawyer In his discus
sion; again the love for Ellsworth and its
sacred traditions entirely overmastered both
the Judge and the lawyer.
His tracing the early settlers in Ellsworth
from n happy blending OF Cavalier and Puri-
tan ancestry threw a new light upon Maine
and upon the influence of the Congregational
church in shaping the destinies OF New Eng
land and OF Maine. In the finest OF word
coiorfngs, the judge followed the career of the
old orthodox doctrine under Increase Mather
down to the parting of the ways with the
Unitarian church. and from the rigid doc.
trfnes OF the Pilgrim fathers, to the wider
liberalism Of James Freeman Clark, Minot J.
Savage and Edward Everett Hale.
1t was masterful discussion concerning
the growth Of theological ideas in New Eng
iand-at once \ review Of faith and q guide

wage-earner and the employer-to all that
makes for the continued prosperity OF our
state. and to the uplift Of our people, during
the years which are to come.
There must be some ingenious minds
within our State who, at the present time,
will be able TO devise some method by which
the majority sentiment amongst republicans
within our party can be given expression to
in the coming national contest. II is not for
me to devise the scheme, but feel confident
that such a scheme can be devised.
aIt the advocates OF different national
candidates and the followers of the two great
party leaders. can be given an opportunity to
express their wishes in this matter. with the
understanding that the sentiment of the ma
iority shall be the action OF all. then the
WORK is done. II this is not done, our demo-
cratic friends viii accomplish their fall pur-
pose. and we shall have no more republican
party in Maine. and the democratic rule VIII
be returned 10 full power in our State In two
years. This is what they are looking and
working for AS much as for national victory.
sJust think OF leaving this great and glcri-
Gus iollihcation, over an election in which
we were thoroughly united, and through
which we resisted all efforts Of the democrats
to break our rsnks-and entering tomorrow
into the struggle for the next two months 10
scratch out our own political eyesi What
stupidity this would bel Worthy only of the
name of political crime.
1t is not possible that you who are carrying
these banners and torches, and that those
who stand with you throughout the length
and breadth Of this State win allow such q
crime TO be committed
81 can only add to the first words which
were uttered By cur great chairman in that
great FIRST political speech Of the campaign.
at the opening of the Bangor convention, the
keynote of which was: Get together that
having got together in State affairs, we
keep together in all things in our poliiicsi
undertakings

The managers of the republican
campaign, both at the headquarters
in New York and in Chicago, have
been requested by President Taft to
instruct the republican spellbinders
to emphasize the prosperity of the
country in all addresses to be made
from now on. 1t is considered that
the opponents OF the President are
lodging the tariff issue so effectively
that the voters understand their
weakness on this plank. On the other
hand, no candidate can point to such
record of prosperity as can the
present President of the United
States.

The Saunders Family Reunion.

The first reunion of the Saunders family
was held at the homestead of the late
Darius Saunders, West Surry, Sept. IA.
The day being pleasant, many relatives
awaited themselves of the opportunity to
visit again the home OF their childhood,
to some this being their first visit for
more than fifteen years.
AT noon tables were spread in the din
ing-room, and thirty-eight partook of a
bountifui harvest dinner. After dinner
the tables were cleared and all gathered
on the lawn where pictures were taken,
followed by musical program and re-
marks by relatives.
George Nevells called the meeting to
order, and the following officers were
elected: Granville Saunders, president;
Della Saunders, vice. president; Minerva
Jordan, secretary; Maria Saunders, treas
urer; Harvey Saunders, Nellie Neveils
and Minerva Jordan committee ON enter
tainment. 1t was voted to hold the next
reunion the first Saturday in September,
1913; il stormy, the first pleasant Satur-
day.
Representatives OF three generations
were present-the oldest sixty-eight years,
the youngest eleven months. Ellsworth,
Bluehiil, surry and orIand were repre-
scented.
A stroll about the farm, visiting ths
familiar haunts of childhood, was one OF
the pleasant features of the day. Many
familiar faces, whose cheerful smile would
never again welcome US to the old home,
were missed.

Mrs. Ada Garland, of Green Lake, at
the age of ninety-four years, is one of
the oldest women in Hancock county.
She was born in Aurora, was married at
the age of nineteen and has been a widow
for more than thirty years. She was one
of the seven locally famous Smith sisters,
all of whom were born in the town of
Aurora, four of whom are now dead,
while one has moved West to Iowa. Mrs.
Gariand's next younger sister, Mrs. Olive
Penney, died last August, at the age of
ninety-two years. The Smith family
came down from long line of Free Bap-
fist ministers, old Parson Smith, the
father of the seven sisters, having lived
two years beyond q full century, and
brought up family of seven daughters
and one son on an average salary Of not
over $500 year. Mrs. Garland has a re-
markable memory for woman of her
years, and while her recollection of events
Of comparatively recent date is not
wholly clear, those Of the old days are re-
called with great distinctness.
