Would Not Be Able to Stand

John Sharp Williams Protests TO
President Against Choice of
Republican.

Writing under date of July 81, three
days before l.. =. Pinkham s name was
sent to the senate as the presidential
choice for the governorship of Hawaii,
the Washington correspondent of The
Advertiser, who has kept Hawaii thor
oughly posted on the gubernatorial 81
tuation, says:
"L. +. Pinkham is here, under fav-
0rable consideration by President vii.
son. His good friend, Representative
Kent of California, is working tooth
and nail to get Pinkham over. Secre
tory IF the Interior Lane. who looked
into Pinkham S qualifications and pass

President, has gone West and will not
be back for at least two or three weeks
II is not admitted at the White House
Offices that Secretary Lane recommend

statements from other quarters are that
he positively did.
representative Kent has been urg-
ing Pinltham upon Secretary Lane for
some weeks. Both are Californians and
Pinkham has been much in San Fran
cisco. There has been question raised
as to Pinkham s health and also rs to
his age. Secretary Lane, at one time,
was in some doubt rs to Pinkham s
health and this has been discussed quite
extensively. II was on that point Pres

Il. NJ. Watson, whom otherwise he
strongly favored. But after Secretary
Lane had gone over all the papers in

objections Were Quick.

This attitude on Secretary Lane S
mart is bound 10 have weight with Pres.
ident Wilson but whether he will hest
tate, now that objections to Pinkham
are rolling in, remains to be seen. Sen
ator John Sharp Williams today was
very emphatic in asserting that Pink.

Democratic senators might object to

President Wilson'S nominations nova.

to the President copies of dispatches
from Honolulu, calling attention to
Pinkham s embroglio with the japanese
consul some years ago and raising the
question whether his noWination as Gov.

anese, with whom President Wilson is
trying to get on amicably."

Somerset for Samuel

We are pleased to commend our
townsman, Samuel w. Gould, as a
candidate for Congress. The point
now at issue Is whether or not he snail
receive the Democratic nomination. AS
to that, sectional loyalty would lead
us to favor neighbor Gould unless he
were opposed. within his own party, by
some actual prodigy. of virtue, ability
and wisdom.
Aside from the fact that we would
wish to see Somerset continue her
representation in Congress, we like
Mr.. Goulds record. The average
statesman of the present time is
natural dodger. Mr.. Gould does not
cultivate that art. During the one
term which he served as congression-
al representative from the Third Maine
District, ii was his custom to give real
answers to inquiries by mail or in per
son as to what he favored or how he
would vote on pending legislation lie
was tDe HESl tOnS ltooihuh w 49,
heard of who was ready to state
whether or not he would vote for the
Parcel Post. Every time. any time
and all the time, was what Mr..
Gould had to say to that question
and he was equally frank on other
matters. This habit of saying just
what he meant very likely cost him
some votes, but Is ought to be a win
ming policy in the long run and ii
should command respect and bring
him friends in the present campaign
Mr.. Gould also invites friendship
by the enemies he has made. Not
withstanding the fact that he advo-
Gated resubmissfon, he seems now to
be strenuously opposed by the straight
rum element. This paper has
had but one policy on that ques-
ton during the 70 years of its exis-
tence and that that element Is
unfriendly to Mr.. Gould is, from our
standpoint, the very best Recommended
ton he could have.
So good luck to you, Mr.. Gould. We
hope your Democratic brethren Will
appreciate you as we do and give you
a substantial majority in the Pri-
maries.

THE UTOP|ANS RENEW
THEIR YOUTH
Entertained by Mrs. Hackett. Dolls
Dressed for the Children's Home ut
Augusta

Tuesday evening June nth the Ito
plans were entertained at home OF Mrs
Wilfred Hackett on Elm street. Nc
pains were spared to make the meet
ing one of genuine mirth and pleas
ure as well as one of usefulness.
The members of the club were
dressed as children and with the DOM
ing of youthful attire, and the gay
ribbons of red and blue on their hair,
they also seemed to put on the spirit
of youth and light heartedness. that
they possessed long years ago.
The entertainment of the evening
was furnished by the gracious host
ess. Nine beautiful dolls were dress
ed in a most beautiful manner the
nine little girls sewing in very in
dustrious fashion. The dresses for
the dolls were of pink, white and blue
and when at ~ o'clock nine little
dolls were stood in a row they pre-
scented an attractive appearance. The
lady who won the prize for complet-
ing her work first was Mrs. Elizabeth
Merrill, whose doll arrayed in pink
dimity with white lace trimmings
presented a most stylish appearance.
These dolls are to be presented TO
the Children home in Augusta
At the close of the session. one of
the finest lancheons ever set before
the Utopians was served by Mrs
Hackett The lobster "a-laNeburg"
the cakes, ices and coffee were of
the finest. At each plate were dec
GRATED cards and stick of candy for
each little girl. The lunch was fol-
lowed by music and dancing and at a
late hour the nine weary girls wendell
their way ffomeward, murmuring to
themselves, that they had had IAN aw-
full good time"
The next meeting will be at Lake
wood Inn, sometime during the month
of July. The Utopians are to meet
each month and the pleasure Of the
club is to be increased by the doing of
helpful deeds and adding to the hap
piness of others as we'll as Of themsel-
yes.
The Utopians advise all who are
tired and Respondent to don the at
tire of youth, for even a short time,
letting the care and worry and heart
ache go and entering into the
life of Childhood, Except ye become
as little children ye shall not enter
into the Kingdom of Heaven"
