Have Come Forward

Bath. Me-, April 13.-(SpeciaD.-As
evidence of the fact that the Sagada-
hoe county Republican ticket will bear
a list of strong names to place before
the voters, both at the primaries and
the election, one has only to look at
the prominent names of the candidates
who will face the people during the
campaign.
Rupert H. Baxter is to become
candidate for the nomination for State
senator and in this instance nemina-
ton is considered equivalent to an
election for he is one of the strongest
business men who can be found in the
three parties. He is a son of ex-May-
or James Phinney Baxter of Portland
and is president of the Bath Trust Co.
Among the candidates. for representa-
tives to the State Legislature are
Frederick Z. Drake and Charles ii.
Oliver. Mr.. Drake is a son of the late
James B. Drake. the we'll known
steamboat man who developed the ser
vice between Kennebec river ports and
Boston and between this city and
Boothbay Harbor to a high degree.
Mr.. Drake is engaged IN the insurance
business and is also a member of the
school board Mr.. Oliver is a prom
inent business man who has seen SER
vice in both branches of the city gov
eminent and was the originator of the
present Bath Industrial Corporation
which is now seeking to secure new
industries for Bath.
Edward C. Plummer is an announced
candidate for nomination for judge of
probate, while 1t Is rumored that May
or Arthur ]. Dunton may also seek
this honor and with the various other
candidates. for county Office previously
mentioned in the Journal, Republicans

strongest list of candidates assembled
for the past generation.
The candidacy of Hon. Harold M.
Sewall of this city for representative
10 Congress is meeting with wide
spread popularity and in spite of the
fact that Progressives and Democrats
OF Sagadahoc county are lined up to
put the finishing blow to the Repub-
1ican party. Mr.. Sewalls candidacy has
met with so much popularity that
leaders of the other two factions are
already worried over the inevitable de-
feat that is in store for them.

their execution when Governor Glynn
refused to grant stay, pending the
second trial of Lieutenant Charles
Becker, who was convicted in the low
er courts of having plotted the muir
der of Herman Rosenthal to prevent
him from making graft revelations to
District Attorney Whitman. The
Court of Appeals, in reversing the de-
cision for Becker, declared itself uncon-
WINGED that he had directed the muir
der, but upheld the Judgment of the
lower court that the four gunner had
been the instruments. Motions for a
new trial, on the ground of new evil
dence, made by their attorney, were
denied, and they were sentenced to
die during the week beginning April
49,
Four days bfore their execution a
delegation of New York rabbis visit
ed Governor Glynn and pleaded in vain
with him to postpone the execution
until after the second trial of Becker.
The Governor remained fixed in the
opinion that he had already express
ed-that Becker's guilt or innocence
could in no way affect the guilt Of
the gunner who had been judged
guilty by two courts.
