MR.. DoAK AT THE BANGOR CONVENTION.
Mr.. Doak was only one of the 1880 delegates
to the State convention, but the prominent
part which he took in the deliberations of that
body was the subject of much newspaper COM
ment, of most favorable nature.
Like many other obscure delegates, he was
bitterly opposed to any sort of ring tactics
and when one large delegation attempted to
grab both electors at large, he trigged the
wheel of the steam roller by move, the au-
dacity of which was only exceeded by its COM
plete success. The Bangor Daily News of
April II. 1912. tells the story as follows:
AS o'clock the convention proceeded to the
nomination of six electors of president and
vice president, one from each congress district
and two at large and this precipitated one of
the numerous mix-ups of the day. A good
many delegates appeared to be unable to I'M
derstand that it was not delegates who were to
be elected, but electors to be nominated, and
much time was wasted in explaining the diff
Carleton Doak of Belfast presented the
name of Benjamin W. blanchard of Bangor as
a candidate for elector- at-large, and the mo-
ton was seconded and the question put SO
quickly that before most of the delegates real
lied what was going on Mr.. Blanchard was de-
clared to have been nominated.
-. Note-Then several names were pre-
scented and great confusion ensued, while
parliamentary tangles were being Strengthened
out.
Thus, while great uproar accompanied the
choice of the second elector- at large, Mr..
Blanchard of Bangor slipped in with neatness,

tions, offered in the most confident way, by
his old college chum, Carleton Doak. Some
said it was luck-that Doak got one over while
the batsman wasn't looking. but others said it
was political nerve and skill. Brother Doak,
you know, is chairman of the Republican city
committee of Belfast, but better than that he
is an old newspaper man. in which profession
he acquired sufficient wealth to enable him to
60 into the law business.
The Boston Herald, New England's leading
Independent daily, in its issue of April II, 1872
said: When the convention started to name the
The name Of Benjamin W. Blanchard of Ban
gor was presented, and then came that of

men to vote, the convention fell to discussing
the best manner of voting. When the discus
sion had reached its highest point, Carleton
Doak, a young Belfast attorney, arose in his
place-with the Waldo county delegation and
made motion.
"Mr Chairman" said he, II move that the
secretary of the convention be authorized to
cast the vote Of this convention for Benjamin
w. Blanchard % elector- at-large."
"Second the notion" shouted Penobscot
county delegate. The chairman put the mo-
ton, and before anybody awoke to what was
taking place the motion had been carried, the
J vote cast and Mr.. Blanchard was elected.

delayed planting that an early frost

SO many farmers depend, and deprive

look is that more potatoes and less corn
will be planted in Maine this year. More

county than last year, but in other Sec
tions, where several poor years have dis
couraged producers, the acreage is ex-
pected to show slight decrease. Sweet

that will be opened this year, and will

A Rockland family had new potatoes
and green corn served with their dinner
June 4th. The vegetables were sent to
them by relative in Americas, Ca,
where they were grown, and were accom-
panied by some big slices of Alabama
ham, which, the Rockland Opinion says,
''tbe Southerners claim to be of more
delicate flavor and texture than the ham
of other climes." The difference be-
tween the southern and the northern and
western cured ham is that saltpeter is
not used in the former while it is in the
latter, to retain the color of the meat. 1t
does that, but destroys the favor and
hardens the meat. Southern cured ham
and bacon is dark colored but tender and
fine favored.

Water is often slightingly spoken of, by
those whose tastes are for something
more ardent, and millions of gallons are
allowed to run to waste annually; but
water capable of furnishing power is be-
coming more valuable every day and
sooner or later will be utilized for driving
machinery and lighting our streets and
homes. Harvesting the tides will be
another method of using water for util-
itarian purposes; and as the cost of land
transportation increases the rivers, bays
and ocean, on which there can be no
monopoly, will be availed of more gener-
ally for carrying freight at low rates.
Cotton may be King in the south, out in
Maine water is the coming King.

NO spooKs FOR MUGGMs
Was Afraid of Nothing He Could In
derstand, But Apparifion Was
Too Much for Him.

Muggins goes to camp with his forks
every summer on the shore Of a large
inland lake. and one of the bulldogs
fayorite amusements here Is in chas-
ing the tiny chipmunks which throng
the woods, He never was known to
capture one. but this does not in the
least dampen his enthusiasm for the
pursuit. 1t is amusing to watch Mug
gihs hustle one Of these tiny creatures
up into a big tree and then sit pa
tiently at its foot waiting for his prey
to come down--which 1t quite often
does, but on the opposite side of the
trunk, whence it scurries away to pas
lures new, while poor deladed Mug
gins, all unaware Of its escape sits
gazing intensely upward in wide-eyed
anticipation OF his quarry's reappear-
auce.
Muggins despises water, but one day
in his eager rush for a chipmunk he
was over the bank before he knew 1t
and landed kertlon on his back with
such force as to send him way below
the surface. Disgust spoke from every
feature Of his expressive countenance
as he hastily scrambled ashore.
Once as Muggins' master stood In
the boathouse on the lake shore and
saw his fayorite trottirg toward him,
a mischieyous thought came to him
and he prepared to surprise the inno-
cent bulldog. Hastily cutting two
round holes for his eyes in big paper

even backward glance at the awful

but fed into a field far above, where
he installed himself in the open and
continued his excited barking for over
three hours. when he was finally
