After having done that he was
given chance to place, his support
in the hands of the assistant attorney
general, for Mr.. McReynolds is busy
man. E
This would not be giving Mr.. Perry
any great advantage in the race, for
Mr.. Howard has had the same priv
ilege.
However, Mr.. Perry has something
which Mr.. Howard has not.
The Portland mans staff includes
press agent-a real active one.
This press agent got busy. AS soon
as he found out that the Portland can
didate for the district attorneyship
had had an interview with the head
of the nations legal department he
proceeded to issue a statement to the
effect that Mr.. Perry had been recon-
mended for the job.
1t was, say those who profess to
know, very good politics, for 1t had
the effect of causing the men who
were supporting phil" Howard to qpit
work, thereby creating the impression
in Washington that Howard was out
Of the game and had lost his strength.
A strong reason for the Democrats
in the eastern part of the State TO
work for Mr. Perry is that in his ap-
pointment rests the only hope they
have of landing the United States
marshalship for George Thompson OF
Bangor.
Edgar Fossett of this city is and
has been since the election of Novem-
Der, 1912, a candidate for the United
States marshal job. He has strong
endorsement, but it is unlikely that
both these positions would be given
to Portland men. For this reason, the
naming of Perry would, SO it is felt,
be a practical assurance that MIR.
Thompson would ge the marshal
place. On the other hand, if Howard
should get the attorneyship, it is gem
orally believed that Fossetts support
would land him as the United states
marshal for the State of Maine.

HouIton Townmeeting.
Questions regarding a new High
school building for Houlton are to be
voted on at the annual townmeetlng
on Monday, and there is much discus
sion just now, as to the best method OF
dealing with the situation. One art1-
Gle in the warrant is to see what sum
of money the town will raise, in ad-
dition to the amount already in hand,
and to see what part shall be raised
by direct taxation and what part by
loans. There is a proposition that the
town issue bonds for the amount to
be raised by loan. the bonds to bear
interest at the rate of four per cent,
payable semi-annually, and maturing
not more than 20 years from the date
of issue. The question of a location for
the new structure is also to come up.
There is a proposition that the town
rescind the vote of last Augusta locat-
ing the school on the land now owned
by the town on the west side OF
School street, and that the building be
erected on a lot which the town owns
on the west side of Franklin street.
The voters are also asked to decide
whether or not the building shall be
placed on any other lot.
