Will win the nomination for L. s. Sem
ator At the primaries next Monday.
Not only his he himself the profound
est faith IN his success, but it is re-
fiected in the press throughout the
State
Few. If any. men in Maine have a
record surprising his as a vote getter.
The people know him: they do not
forget what he did for his district as a
congressman, and have the profound :
est faith that he will, if nominated
and elected. be as useful to the State
as senator as he was to the district as
representative.
The way leading Republicans from
the southwest coast counties of Maine
swarm to meet former Governor and
Congressman Edwin c. Burleigh is a
pretty good index of the popular SEN
timent in this part of Maine. Even
the Veriest tYro could, with his eyes
shut and without wetting his finger,
tell which way the political wind is
blowing
our firm conviction is that the third
Maine district is practically solid for
Burleish. a similar feeling prevails
according to our adyices, in other
sections of the State. 1t is in the air.
and has made itself felt more and
more in the last few days.
