Gives General Satisfaction.
(Rockland Courier Gazette

The Courier Gazette believes that
very general satisfaction will be felt
throughout the state by the an
nouncement that Hon. Edwin c. Bur-
leigh is TO come before the primaries
as d Republican candidate for United
States Senator. There will doubtless
he other candidates-Judge Powers is
already duly announced in this con-
nection-and the voters OF the party
will have every opportunity for fair
expression of preference; but it
seems to US that Gov. Burleighs long
experience at Washington, his thor
ough acquaintance with the principles
OF national legislation, his demon
strated loyalty to the immediate con-
stituency that for fourteen years kept
him as their representative in Con-
gress, particularly qualify him for
the position to which he now aspires
and we believe these things will have
a strong and convincing influence
with the voters. The two Maine men
who lately for so long a period and
with such distinction served in the
Senate, received in the House the
initial training that enabled them at
once upon entering the upper branch
of the national legislature to assume
commanding position. to the infinite
honor of the State which sent and
kept them there. This principle of
retaining in Office a public servant
whose ability and worth have been
established has always characterized
the Republican party Of Maine. and
upon this account in particular we
should expect Gov. Burleigh's can
didacy to be received with especial
favor. To send him to the Senate
now would be the deserved promotion
of public servant whose proved
ability, honorableness of character
and straightforward party loyalty
merit him this distinction.

Hon. Edwin c. BurIegh for United
States Senator.
(Winthrop Budget


A short time ago, Hon. Edwin c.
Burleigh, Ex-Governor and IA years
member of Congress from this district,
SO long represented by James g.
Blaine, announced his candidacy for
the United States Senate.
This announcement has impaired
new life and vigor into the Republican
party such as we have not seen in
recent years. Governor Burleigh Ia
the greatest asset the party has in
sight at the present time. His an
nouncement has been heralded by the
press Of the State generally as an
omen Of good. He Is clean. manly
e.nan and no one ever had to make any
apologies for him. His four years AZ
Governor, his IA years service as our
representative to Congress-, and, above
all. his pure. manly life. is known to
all our people. Maine will honor itself
by sending him to the Senate.

Of Maine. He has served the Republi-

claiming to be anything else than
straight Republican.
His party service has been faithful
and always progressive. From Cover

from the National House to the next
highest, whether it be to the United
widely -honored private citizen of Maine
His political ascent has been in keep

Lot NJ. Morrill,. Hannibal Hamlin--soms
of the best and brightest men in Maiue

Maine to BE- Redeemed.
(Bridgton News.)

Having announced his candidacy be-
fore the primaries this week, all over
Maine and New England as we'll, the
newspapers are speaking kindly words
of Hon. E. C. Burleigh in connection
with that position. Integrity, wide ac-
quaintance with men, and official and
legislative experience which has never
borne black mark in a long term of
service, are characteristics that must
count at this supreme moment in the
states history. Maine is to be re-
deemed, brethren-and in 1912, too.

Gov. RurIeigh's Announcement.

Gov. Burleigh's announcement that
he should be candidate for U. S.
senator at the primary elections in
June is not unexpected, for it has
been the general understanding that
he would do SO at the proper time.
His faithful and efficient services
to his State, his long public career
which has given him widespread &C
quaintance, and his admitted abilities
as an organizer, will make him a
most formidable candidate for the
honor to which he aspires.

brought results. His abilities as an

even-for the United States Senate.
Without this new member is of
very little account. Service as Gov

we imagine, is why the trend of senti-
ment everywhere is for Burleigh.

What They Say in Washington.


The senatorial canvass in Maine has
taken on a new interest to Washing
ton in recent days. That statement
by ex-Representative Burleigh of his
intention to be a candidate stirs COM
ment at the federal capital, for he was
here many years as a member of the
National House and acquired a large
acquaintance and many friends
These friends were on both sides Of
the centre aisle. When q member or
an ex-member Of the House aspires to
the Senate everybody down this way
takes notice, and If he has a lot of
good friends under the dome, as is the
case with ex-Representative Burleigh,
they wish him well.
And so it is that many good things
are being said about ex-Representa-
tive Burleigh in the cloakrooms and
corridors since the press dispatches to
local papers carried the news of his
announcement. The satisfaction Is
lively among the New England Re-
publicans because they are hopeful, of
course, that Republican will be re-
turned to the Senate as the result of
this years election. Ex-Representa-
tive Burieigh was on intimate terms
with most Of those New England Re-
publicans during his services here. He
worked along with them in many mat
ters, where New Englanders have
community of interests, and they
would like to see him back here in
the Senate as a matter Of course. If
he wins the nomination and election,
he will be welcomed cordially to the
Senate by the New England Republi-
cans without exception.

Seeks the Senate from Maine.
(Boston Herald.)

Now that former Congressman Ed
win c. Burleigh has formally an
nounced his candidacy for the United
States Senate to succeed Obadiah
Gardiner, the Maine Republicans seem
getting down to business The Demo-
cratic victory of 1910 was due in part
to the manifold complications of the
prohibition issue and in part to fac
tional quarrels within the Republican
ranks. Since September of 1910 the
Maine Republicans have had no lack
Of reminders that they must close up
the ranks If they pull out a victory,
even in this Presidential year.
In 1897 he (Mr. Burleigh) went
to Congress as the successor of
the late Seth L. Milliken, remaining
there IA years. No surprise Of
Maine people than his defeat by Sam
had distanced at several earlier cleo
tons. But it was tidal wave and
it submerged him with the rest of the
ticket. This and the death of his old
est son, the editor of tht Kennebec
Journal, made many feel that he
would not care to get back into the
political battle.
But the lure of the game is too
strong for him and too many Maine
Republicans see in his leadership a
reunited and victorious party next
fall. The fight for the Senate will in
some respects be the chief contest in
Maine, because it involves the Legis-
lature and the general control Of State
affairs and the governorship will be
closely tied up with it. Mr.. Burleigh
has a great reputation as an organic
er. In Washington he was the leader
in the fight which saved Maine from
a reduced representation as a result of
the reapportionment following the CEN
sus. Maine has no man living, except
ex-senator Hale himself who would
be more at home in the Senate from
the start than Mr.. Burleigh.
