MAINE GOES FOR
WOODROW WILSON

Washington, D. C.. Feb 23.-Maine
is another state that can be considered
salely for the nomination of Governor
Woodrow Wilson for the presidency,
according to the assurance of Repre-.
sentative Daniel G. McGnlicuddy, of
Maine, who has come TO be considered
one of the ablest men in the house in
the short time since the sweeping dem
Iocratic victories in his state caused his
election 10 the sixty-second congress,
and that of a democratic governor and
two United States senators. With
Governor Wilson as the choice of the
national democracy for the presidency
the Maine congressman believes that
his state will give the party its elec-
toral vote.
It is the confident opinion of Con-
gresman McGnlicuddy that a majority
ol the democrats of Maine viii indorse
Governor Wilson for the presidential
nomination, notwithstanding the fact
that New England has a candidate
whose name will be presented to the
Baltimore convention.
Maine will not instruct its delega-
tions to the Baltimore convention /"

can count on Names vote when the
balloting begins. have sounded the
sentiment OF the people of my district

Maine democrats have tasted vic
tory in their state elections and they
are anxious to see their party triumph
in the national contest They believe
that the surest method for the party
to achieve victory in November is to
nominate Governor Wilson. Wilson
can win, the people of my state be-
lieve, and that is the first question they
ask in selecting their candidate.
Governor Foss of Massachusetts is
a capable man and high type of DEM
oerat. In my opinion he is of presi-
Dental size, and he has considerable
among Maine voters, apart
from those who support him because
he is a New Englander. Governor Foss
is now second in the race so far as the
democrats of my state are concerned.
"A safe majority of them are con-
yinced. however, that with Governor
Wilson as that standard bearer, the
party will be in better fighting trim
than with any of the other men in the

race for the democratic nomination.
He is a man of sound principles and
certain strength and he can make
better fight than any other democrat.

vision is that in the first place, If the

GOVERNMENT CONTROL

Spokane, Wash, Feb. 22.--Charging

engineer of Spokane and member of

that the policy of Withholding the
power sites constitutes a perversion of
national conservation and develop

Mr. Ralston said that of the $4,000
400 horse power minimum available in
the United States not more than q
000, 900 is developed while of the 20
100000 horse power minimum avail
able in the rivers west of the CONT
