Portland boasts one OF the best artists

paper. notwithstanding the fact that he
has turned out numerous paintings that
have brought big prices, he continues his
vocation as a street-car conductor, and
may be seen daily picking up nickcls and
punching transfers for the many patrons
OF his car.

the conductor by name, bat there are but
few who are converssnt with the fact that
he can shoulder his easel and with few
paint brushes and a supply OF paint HE

localities in and about Portland, and in no

artistic merit that many OF the weaithiest
families In Portland would be pleased to
have it grace their homes.
The man Is Herbert Leslie Lord, who
lives at 70 Merrill street. Mr.. Lord is a
native OF Maine, and was born Ia Hancock

REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.


The primary election in the third
congressional district last Monday
settled the question of candidates;
Hon. John A. Peters, of Ellsworth,
was chosen by the republicans by an
Overwhelming majority. Hon. w. r.
Pattangall, of Waterville, was chosen
by the democrats. Hon. e. M. Law
renee, Of Lubec, is already in the field
as the candidate of the progressives.
There are thus three candidates.
There is but one vital issue involved
in this neutrality-suspicious..
One candidate, the democrat, Is
against protection; he stands for the
administration, and favors the Under
wood tariff bill now pending in Con-
gress the most drastic tariff for
revenue only bill ever proposed since
the Civil war; utterly destructive of
the protective policy, and the grav-
est menace to labor and industry
throughout the country.
The other two candidates, while
differing in many respects, are both
on record as agreeing on this vital
issue of the tariff; both predict disas-
ter to the country in general, and to
the third Maine district in particular
as result of the passage of the I'M
derwood bill.
These two candidates represent the
anti-democratic sentiment of the dis
trict, which is conceded to be vastly
in excess of the democratic, and yet
the amazing spectacle is presented of
this sentiment being so divided that
the division may result in the cleo
ton of a democrat.
Mr.. Lawrence has said: ssThe
people will surely hold the minority
speaking of the republicans and
progressivesl responsible for the
defeat of a candidate who best pro-
tects the business interests of this
district
1t is therefore up to" anti-demo-
crats-republicans and progressives-
to get together; otherwise hope of
electing an anti-democrat is vain.
Realizing this, Mr.. Peters, the mo-
ment he consented to be candidate,
stated the situation as he saw it to
Mr.. Lawrence, the then probable,
and now the actual candidate of the
progressives, and suggested that they
both enter the republican primaries,
promising to abide by the result, and
heartily to support Mr.. Lawrence,
should he be named.
The proposition was declined, and
the campaign opens with two anti
democratic candidates in the field.
We are for Mr.. Peters not for party
reasons alone; both by nature and
training and by reason of bis record
in the public service, we regard him
as the better equipped for the Office
to be filed.
So many progressives throughout
the district have already announced
their intention of supporting Mr..
Peters that there 10 ample ground to
justify the belief that enough of them
viii finally vote for him to elect him.
The economic interests OF this dis
trict are in danger; shall they be repre-
sented at Washington by democrat
or by an anti-democrat? Shall those
who pulled together for Peters in
January be separated in September
for the sake of party name?
Mr.. Lawrence and his friends may
well ponder on his own slogan-that
the minority will be held responsible
for the defeat of an anti democrat.
Are they willing to assume it?

The vote of Ellsworth in detail follows:

This is total of $50 republican and lib
democratic votes. In last years primaries,
for Congressman on the republican ticket,
a total OF 4i2 votes was cast. There was
no contest for the democratic nomination
for Congressman last year, but for the
office of sheriff, in which the largest vote
was thrown, the total democratic vote
was 1l2, or one less than in this weeks
primary.

the deer lowered its head and started for

front hoofs, he struck the front of the
radiator and one of the headlights a ter
