POLITICAL NOTES.

At meeting in Augusta Thursday
night, the republican State committee or
ganized by electing the following off,
GERS: Chairman, Warren c. Philbrook,
Waterville; secretary, Henry H. Hastings,
Bethel; treasurer. Charles s. Hichborn,
Augusta. The committee voted to invoke
the referendum on the ballot law passed
at the recent special session OF the legisla-
ture.
1t is conceded that the third district,
which be [Gov. Burleighl represented
in Congress fourteen years, win be sub
stantislly solid for him. A vindication
for the crime of 1910, when lie was de-
feated unintentionally, is the sentiment
in every one Of the four counties. With
ex-Gov. Burleigh as the candidate for
senator, after the primaries, it means the
redemption of all four OF these counties,
very likely. The campaign to elect repub-
lican senators and representatives will be
carried on systematically, and the district
is just as good as back in the fold once
he is nominated. The advantage the can
didate for Congress on the republican
ticket will have in the campaign when
ex-Gov. Burleigh is in the race for the
Senate is appreciated as worth a great
deal.-Bangor cor. Portland Express.

An Interesting Comma.

An interesting tOBiuh.
An interesting little controversy is
on between the school committee and
municipal officers, as to which body
is in authority in the matter OF insur-
ing school buildings. The section of
the school law under which it is I'M
derstood both the aldermen and the
school committee claim authority, is
the same, and its Interpretation seems
to depend upon an innocent little
comma, the same comma, by the way,
which has figured in previous contro-
versies in Ellsworth in the matter of
the election Of superintendent. The
section in question reads as follows:
The management of the schools and the
custody and care, including repairs and in
surance on school buildings, of all school
property in every town, shall devolve upon
the experimenting school committee which
shall annually, and as often as vacancy
shall occur, elect a superintendent of schools
who shall not be n member of the committee
This section shall not apply to cities, nor to
towns authorized by special laws to employ
OF Suotst IL ANAAAEs WHIT
wise than as herein provided.
The comma on which the interpre-
tation seems to hinge is that after the
word "cities" in the second sentence
of the section. If the comma belongs
there, the clause seems TO wipe out
the entire section SO far as it applies
to Ellsworth or any other city.
Under this Interpretation, the al
dermen, it is understood, claim that
this takes the custody and care, in
Guiding repairs and insurance on
school buildings, out of the hands of
the school committee, and throws it
back on the city government. But if
this il true, that innocent little
comma also takes away from the
school committee "the management
of the schools, which is included in
the same section.
The other Interpretation, and the
one on which the school committee
bases its authority to place insurance,
is that the final sentence of the section
applies only to the manner of elect
ing superintendent of schools, that
this is the intent of the law, and that
the comma really should not be there.
Read without the comma, this is just
what the sentence would say.
1t is apoorly constructed section at
best, and one that should be amended
by the next legislature, or ruled upon
by the courts.

Plea for Franklin Candidate.
West FRANKLIN, April 20, 1912

WEST FRANKLIN, April 20, 1912.
To the Editor of The american:
Franklin was incorporated January IS,
1873, and since that time has beea a
member of the Hancock county family OF
towns. For fifty years the voters of this
town have cast majority of their votes
for right and republieanism.
In the eighty-seven years OF her exis-
tence, Franklin has never had candidate
for county office. She now presents as a
republican candidate for county treasurer
at the June primaries one OF her favorite
sons Boyd A. BlsisdeIi, OF the firm OF
w. b. Blaisdell & Co., ex-selectman and
present town treasurer of Franklin.
In presenting him as a candidate, the
republicans OF Franklin have no apologies
to make; he is capable, courteous, palms.
taking and honest. They ask for their
candidate the support OF the republicans
of Hancock county. both ON the grounds OF
efficiency OF the candidate and justice to
the town. c. 4. BUTLER.

These figures are taken from the

urer's report for 1911. The present
administration vigorously criticized
the last administration because GER
tain bills of that administration were
left unpaid. 1t strikes us that it
would be well for the present admin
istration to admit that in the matter
of unpaid bills at the end of it's BUSH

paid than that concerning which it
