The Bangor Commercial Demo
cratic) publishes a dispatch from its
special correspondent in Washington
which plainly indicates that Obadiah
Gardner has spoiled his chances of 4
cabinet position. x Our Democratic ex-
change says Senator Johnson and
Congressman McGillicuddy told
President elect Wilson that Obadiah
was never in sight of the pole, and
that he had been playing cheap
politics. Now Washington is Won
dering how the truth from two lead
ing Maine Democrats has struck Mr.
Wilson. The Commerciars dispatch
follows: a
The Maine democrats now have a
quarrel before President elect Wilson
which may cost Senator Obadiah
Gardner whatever chance he had to
become member of the new cabi
net.
The confidential word from Trenton
has been that Governor Wilson
thought very highly of him and that
Senator Gardner was almost as GER
tain to be the next secretary of agri
culture as Bryan is to be secretary
of state But the senator has be-
lieved all along that he had a good
fighting chance to be reelected to
succeed himself.
He went home in that frame of
mind before the holidays, and is not
yet back in Washington. Although,
limo IN of
Washington Ex-Governor Burleigh is
certain to win, Senator Gardner APP
parently thinks otherwise, and is
grimly fighting on
Anyhow, last Saturday. Senator
johnson and Representative McGilli-
cuddy who are now in Washington
received. letters from President-ele
Wilson. The letters emphasized his
concern over the situation before the
Maine legislature. aa1
He was sincerely hopeful that
Senator Johnson and Representative
McGillicuddy would do all they could
to bring about the recollection of
Senator Gardner
While Governor Wilson alluded to
newspaper reports about the situation
in Maine, as his excuse for writing,
Senator johnson and Representative
McGillicuddy inferred immediately
that Senator Gardner was behind il
all.
He had either written directly to
Governor Wilson, inclosing news
paper clippings or gotten some one
to write for him.
Senator johnson jumped to the
long distance telephone and arranged
for an interview between the Presi-
dent-elect and himself and Repre-
sentative McGillicuddy on MONDAY
and spent Monday making the jour
ney.
The conditions in Maine We're ex-
planned to Governor Wilson in detai
and now the Maine Democrats at the
Capitol are wondering what Governor
Wilson thinks about 1t.
They told him that Senator Gard
ner was never in sight of the pole
Just as gently as. they could they as
sured Governor Wilson that Senator
Gardner had been playing cheap poll
tics.
All this they felt they had to do IN
their own defense. because they viii
have to live politically with Mr.. vii
son as President.

what effect all this will have upol

According to a report which has
found its way beyond the confines of
Belgrade Lakes, the good people of
that usually peaceful village were
thrown into such a state of excite
ment, last Tuesday, as had not been
experienced by them since the COM
ing to their town, some years ago, of
Anna Held. The cause of all the
tumult was the reported discovery.
out on the ice of the lake, of black
bear, which, according to the descrip-
ton given by the discoverer, was
huge" Word was quickly passed
about town, by phone and otherwise.
that there was a 'varmint' out on
the ice, and an expedition was hastily
organized to encompass his destruc-
ton. Included in the party were
several wen known Belgrade and
Rome hunters. and as they hit the
trail in the direction of the bear,
which was in plain sight, the house
wives left their sewing, and the men
folks their chores, and all went down
to the shore of the lake to witness
the slaughter. But the slaughter
didn't come, for after the hunters had
made their way for some distance UP
the lake, in the teeth of cold north
west wind, they reached a point
where they could see, without glass
es, that the animal before them was
not the black bear of the Maine for
ests, but only a sick dog.

never before reached as far as
could be ascertained along the water

the scarcity of fish, which is result
of the bad weather that has been
