New Seats for City Hall

Petitions are in circulation asking
the city government to provide new
seats for City hall, Augusta. Now that
the hall is used so very much more
than formerly a new seating of the
floor has become almost imperative.
The present seats are old, unsafe, I'M
comfortable and exceedingly out of
date. They were purchased at time
when folding seats were first made and
are not of a pattern that can be re-
paired satisfactorily, hence the move
for a new seating of the floor of the
hall. The petitions are being signed
very freely and any one interested will
do well to call at George w. Merrill
store and sign one of the petitions.
Anyone who ever uses the hall for
any purpose whatsoever must be in
terested in this movement. The ex-
pense connected with the enterprise
will not be very large and the COM
fort and safety of all who ever attend
any of the numerous gatherings at
the hall will be greatly enhanced by
the proposed change.

A "Prooressive~ Incident.

John E. Warren of Westbrook has
written the following letter to l. h.
Vernon, the chairman of the Pro-
gressive State committee:
"As there have been several state
ments in the papers relating to the
treatment that the writer received at
the Bangor Progressive Convention,
1 wish to state that more Is being
made of this than there is occasion
for, and that l did not take offense
on account of this treatment, not
considering it due to the Convention
but to some of the younger members
who did not know me and who had
some reasons for thinking my pur-
pose was other than what 1t was.
THE chairman of the convention,
the candidate for governor, and all
of the leaders of the party treated
me with courtesy and / have nothing
against the party on that account.
/ have not withdrawn from the par
ty, still considering myself a MEM
Der, although | intend to vote indie
pendently and my associates in
Westbrook have chosen me as a
delegate to the county convention
which meets next week and which I
propose TO attend, and I do not think
there Is occasion for members of
the other parties to throw stones at
the Progressives on my account
yours truly,
JOHN E. WARREN"
The above communication was re-
ceived from Chairman Vernon Tues
day forenoon.
The opposition to Mr.. Warren was
very apparent to lthe disinterested
onlooker. 1t was the same element
(sorrowfully NOT the younger men
who did not know Mr.. Warren"o that
opposed Parson Dunnacks prohibit
ton resolution. 1t was apparent from
Mr. Warren's patience and persist
ence that he was not offended, but
the same could not be said of many
other delegates, who outspokenly
voiced their sentiments against the
Bangor rabble" with which it was be-
lieved certain delegations were pack
ed. The chairman commanded and
pleaded all to no purpose. lie re-
peatedly declared: Gentlemen, this is
a PROGRESSIVE convention! EVERY
man should have right to be heard!'
1t is gratifying to learn that Mr..
Warren was not offended. At the
same time we know that the Warren
demonstration cost the party some
members, for we have their declar-
atoms over their own signatures.
Undoubtedly the leaders of the Pro-
gressive party are doing their utmost,
as he says, to soothe Mr.. Warren.
They have shown their political as
tuteness in other ways, at and since
the convention. But they cannot paci-
fly many gentlemen who Were dis-il-
lusioned by the Warren and Dunnack
incidents.

Right here let US say that it seems
to be Mr.. Gardner's privilege end duty
to prove his published declaration that
"the present administration does not
stand the Bangor test"
1t is not OUR duty to furnish the
evidence which we demanded of him.
WE do not KNOW that the law is
being ignored in penobscot county.
HE does, for he has so declared. In
the inelegant parlance of the street,
1T is up to him to make good" on his
charges.
Following are Mr.. Gardeners ques-
lions in order. and our replies:
Did the Governor or any member of
the Republican party initiate the move
ment for the removal of multiplying
Sheriffs?"
Yes; the Governor on evidence fur
nished by several persons. including
members of the Christian Civic
League and of the Republican and
Progressive parties.
"Will you tell your readers who did
really force the action?'
Governor William T. Haines.
why did the Governor appoint as
sheriff of Penobscot the present incunl-
bent instead of Arthur L. Thayer of
Bangor, who was a candidate known to
be a strong enforcement man and who
was useful in furnishing the evidence
which caused the removal of the former
