vass the status of rival candidates
for various State offices. Mayor E.
E. Newbert, of Augusta, and his
friends, were busy in his campaign
for the Office of state treasurer, which
may be contested by j. Clark Scates,
the defeated candidate for Congress
in the first district. 1t was generally
conceded that John E. Bunker, of
Bar Harbor, had the pole in the race
for secretary OF state, though he may
have rival in Leon o. Tebbetts, the
defeated candidate for sheriff in Ken
nebec county. Fred B. Wiggin, Of
Saco, is again out for the Office of
warden of the State prison, and IL
is pretty generally understood that
Frank e. Mace, formerly of Hancock
county, will again be candidate for
forest commissioner, though he has
not yet formally announced himself.
w. r. Pattangall, defeated candidate
for Congress in this district, is the
leading candidate for attorney gem
eral, with Mayor Philip Howard. Of
Rockland, Judge Harrie L. Weber,
of Auburn, and Fred W. Clair, of
Waterville, possibilities in the "also
ran" class. There is considerable
speculation in democratic as we'll as
republican circles as to the probable
attitude of the progressives.

The four progressive members of the
next Maine legislature may have their
aspirations sadly crushed il it is de-
cided, as seems likely, that a simple
plurality and not majority is all that
is needed to elect State officers in the
joint session of the legislature. II a
majority is necessary, with a full at
tendance ninety-one democrats,
eighty seven republicans and four
progressives-the progressives would
be in position to dictate terms, and
according to rumors afloat about Au-
gusta, they were not at all modest in
their demands. One story is to the
effect that the most conservative pro-
gressive demand is the privilege of
naming the secretary of state and
the attorney general, and to be recog-
nized by the governor as the minority
party in all appointments where the
law requires the recognition of 'sthe
minority party.

Fortunately for the republican par
ty, the number of delegates from
the southern states to the next ma
tional convention will be reduced by
eighty nine. The change in the basis
of representation proposed by the
national committee at its meeting
last December has been ratified by
the necessary number of states, and
becomes Immediately operative. The
new method of apportionment pro-
vides that the number of delegates
from each state shall depend, not
upon population, but upon the repub-
lican vote cast at the preceding presi-
Dental election. The old system was
rightly subject of protest, and be-
came the source OF party scandal and
strife. 1t was one of the causes for
the split in 1912. In orderly fashion
the republicans have set their house
in order in this respect, and whatever
other causes of difference may de-
velop two years hence, contrasting
delegations from the South should
not be among them. Texas profited
most by the unfairness OF the old sys-
tenn, and it is therefore not surprising
that it's convention refused to sane
ton the change. Boston Transcript.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Kennebec Journal referring to the reten-
ton of many fourth class ostmasters in
Hancock county, pays a compliment to
the women who hold these Offices. He
writes: at will be noted that many Of
these postmasters in Hancock are women,
and they were undou btedly highly quali-
fed for their places, or they would not
have stood the civil service examinations.
Most of them were selected originally by
Senator Burieigh, during the many years
that he represented the third Maine dis
trict in the House. In those days there
were no civil service restrictions upon the
selection of postmasters, but Senator
Burleigh made his endorsements to the
republican postmasters general from his
knowledge of the fitness OF the applicants
to serve their respective communities.
To his practice in this regard is due much
