j. S. HYDE FOR BuRLEIeH.
Believes Baths Vote for Senator
SouId Be for him.

President John S. Hyde of the Bath
Iron Works is one of the most earnest
and active supporters of Hon. Edwin
c. Burleigh, candidate for the Repub-
lican nominee for United States SEN
ator at the forthcoming primaries. In
m interview with the Times, this
morning. Mr.. Hyde said
MIR. Burleigh, in defining his posi-
ton, says, The commercial and ship
building interests of New England
should command the enthusiastic and
loyal support of her senator's / most
earnestly favor proper measures for
the ipbuildng and restoration of
Names shipbuilding industry / stand
firmly for the development of an
American merchant marine and the
projection of our coastwise shipping
In the 59th Congress | voted for the
ship subsidy bill, and the bill to re-
move determinations against American
sailing vessels in the coasting trade
In my humble opinion this alone
should entitle him to the support of
our citizens Mr. Burleigh has al
ways stood firmly and squarely for
our interests during his many years
in Congress. He has had long expert
ence. and in Congress experience
counts for more than one generally
thinks. He has been persistent and
most painstaking in carrying out the
wishes of his constituents, and has
given to the interests of the humblest
of them the same effort that he has
given TO the interests of the most
powerful and influential. He is clean,
able, honest, faithful and experienced,
and has had always. and Will con-
time to have, the respect and conf
denee of his colleagues in Congress
Not only in gratitude for his
work for us in the past, but by rea-
son of his power for great useful
ness in the future. | believe. and
know it to be for the best interests
of Bath and the State of Maine that
he be the Republican nominee at the
primaries and / earnestly urge the Re
publican voters of our city to cast
their ballots for him."
