In prior issue, the News published
nearly full page Of favorable editorial
comments upon MIR. Burleighs candi-
daey from the press throughout the
State. under, the following caption:
''.Ai Maine acclains Burleish as,
grand man for the Senate. A true
blue Republican in all weathers,
man Of brains and heart, standing
close to the people, his claims are
based upon a long career of able,
faithful service to the State"
We believe the above editorial ex-
preston the wise Interpretation Of an
astute newsgatherer who has his fin
ger ON the pulse Of the public.
We believe the people of Maine are
thoroughly aroused to the necessity of
placing at the front, men of DEEDS
as well as of cREEDs; men of SER
VICE, as well as of PROMISES; men
Of RESULTS.
We have recommended support of
Mr.. Burleigh in the past. for Governor
and for Representative to Congress.
Has any man who followed our advice
had cause for regret?
Aesin we urge the promotion of a
man who has "made good" in every
trust.
Can any man, who has the interests
of the State at heart. deny that Gov
ernor Burleigh is the logical candi-
date at this critical period in Names
affairs?
Is there in Maine man today. who
could go to the National Capital and
accomplish as much for the State and
her people, as could and would for
amer Congressman Burleigh?
We are convinced that an able and
experienced statesman should be sent
to the United States Senate by the
Republicans of Maine; and we believe
that in four years another able Re

term.
There is no more effective way of
talking to the people" than by "the
eloquence of results"
Voters and lawmakers nowadays
want FACTS and SERVICE.
Governor Bufleigh was born and
reared on farm: he lived on a farm
until five Of his six children can claim
an Aroostook farm as place OF birth.
He knows Maine farmers and their in
terests. and be grew from their ranks
up through public and private business
into the lawmalsing. bodyssof the ma
ton And no man whom Maine has
sent to Congress has ever maintained
such close personal interest in the af
fairs of, and Kept in such close touch
with. all his people, as has Congress-
man Burleigh.
The day iaborer, the merchant prince
or the college professor receive the
same warm greeting in his Office or at
his Preside.
Governor Burleigh is a man of the
people. self-made, broad gagged. of
countless friends in all classes. a win
ner at the polls and a tower of strength
TO his state and party.
