GARDNER
AUGUSTA VISITOR
STATES HIS VIEWS

i am not prepared to state Just now
whether the Progressives in Maine
will wage campaign in 1916" said
Hon. Halbert p. Gardner of Patten
Progressive candidate for Governor at
the last election.
This matter largely rests with the
Progressive State committee and just
what they will do is difficult 10 con-
lecture at this moment. There will be
a meeting of the Progressive national
committee in Chicago. Jan. II, which
! expect to attend Soon after this
meeting there viii probably be run
together of the Progressive State COM
mittee to discuss some of the sugges-
tons made at the National confer
ence"
Mr.. Gardner was at the Augusta
House Thursday. being called here on
business matters and incidentally he
met a number Of the members of the
third party. Ex-State Sen. Geo. w.
Heselton. Gardiner, had an appoint
ment with him during the forenoon.
Just what the significance of this
meeting was could not be learned. but
it is inferred that Mr. Heselton dis
cussed at some length with Mr.. Gard
ner the proposition of retiring from
the party.
For President, naturally enough,
should favor Theodore Roosevelt. if
he would take the nomination. But
/ am not so sure that Roosevelt wants
it. In fact, l. am rather inclined to be-
Iieve that he is much more interested
in seeing the progressive principles
that he advocates prevail than to per-
sonaliy go to the White House
