homes Of their gentlemen friends
and escorted them to the dance. and
assumed the role OF filling out the
programs for the dances, extending
all the courtesies which are shown
them by the gentlemen on like occa-
siOns.
Music was furnished throughout
the evening by Mrs. Finn and Mr..
Gabele and the dance was one which
will long be remembered by the
hostesses as well ~ by the guests.
who expressed their appreciation Of
the delightful manner in which they
were entertained. and really wished
that leap year came more often.
Those who enjoyed the dance were
the Misses Mabel SpaldinE. Helen
Mcvay. Gladys Wood. aud Vera
Wood, Norma corbin. Irene Jones.
Bee Peliett. Georgia white; the
Messrs. Joe Warner. Marwood Crow
ley. Hal Hendricks. MILAN Stiles. Ted

EX-GOVERNOR FERNALD A CANDI.
DATE.
To Enter the Contest for the Vacancy Caused
by Death of Senator Burleigh.

Former Gov. Bert NJ Fernald has an
nounced that he will be candidate for
the Republican nomination for the unex-
pred term of the late United States SEN
ator Edwin c. Burleigh at the special pri-
mary to be held July oath: HIS letter
follows:
TO THE REPUBLICANS OF MAINE: |
herewith announce my candidacy in the
Republican primaries to fill the uneXpired
term of the late u. S. Senator Burleigh
have delayed my announcement until
| was reasonably assured that there was
a wish on the part of a considerable body
OF Republican voters that | be candi-
date for this position. | have just con-
cluded long and arduous campaign in
the Republican primary for the regular
term of the United States Senator, in
which run a close second to the success
full candidate and in which led the third
candidate by nearly 1000 votes. The ex-
pressed wish of those who supported me
In that campaign and of great many
others who did not support me strengthen
me in the conclusion that my candidacy
will again be acceptable to the Republi-
can party of this State. Many have ex-
pressed the desire that one of the nomi-
nees OF the party in the coming election
for the United States senator be
business man and this reason also
largely leads me to make this canvass.
The admirable selection of Republican
standard bearers in the Republican ma
tlonal convention. at Chicago, which unites
all who are opposed to the platform and
principles of the Democratic party In
State and nation, inspires confidence in
the Republican party of Maine and re-
news hope and courage of every true
American. With the utmost confidence
in the fairness and good judgment of the
Republicans of Maine, and pledging my
cordial acceptance of the verdict, enter
the primary for the choice of nominee
for the United States Senate.
BERT M, FERNALD.

IT HAS HELPED MOTHER AND THAT
MAKES ME HAPPY.

"After suffering for years with stoma Oh
trouble, at last found the right remedy for
mother" said Edgar W. Gray, 81 Larkin street,
Bangor today, in adding his endorsement to the
long list of Bangor people who have had an in
PRODUCTION to this Master Tonic, Tanlac.
Mother" said Mr.. Gray, Twas sufferer with
a ia ulty stomach for years. ometimes the
gas would form in her stomach. This would
cause her no end of trouble. This would bring
on q nervous condition which would interfere
with rest and sleep. We tried every known
remedy without results. l was up town one
evening, and went into Sweets Drug Store.
where it is being explained, and bought her
bottle for little present, and before she had
taken half the bottle we noticed vast change.
It is simply marvellous how soon Tanlac takes
hold Of faulty stomach. am very glad there
10 such thing as a stomach medicine that will
get rid Of indigestion, and Tanlac certainly
proved its merits in mothers case"
In speaking Of this testimonial the TanIac
Man, as he is known all over the country,
said, "Tanlac has made a reputation in three
months here in Maine that has astounded the
drug trade, for the simple reason that it acts.
and convinces, right from the start. of its eff
ficiency. It gets rid of the waste and poisons
of the body, restores healthy circulation
through natural existing conditions, and the
sufferer soon begins to feel better and enjoy
the benefits that a good healthy, stomach
brings to those who have gone through the
tortures Of Dyspepsia"

The Republican journal., 1916-07-06

It is difficult for weekly newspaper
ments caused by the death of U. S. Sen
ator Burleigh. The fact that there are
numerous Republican aspirants for the
vacant seat, while the Democrats at this
writing are at loss for candidate, is
not without its significance. Gov. Curtis
was first thought of but he was coy, and
then B. G. McIntire of West Waterford,
chairman OF the State board of assessors,
was selected, but positively declined to be
the candidate. Last Thursday, however, it
was announced at Augusta that Kenneth
M. Stills of Brunswick, dean of Bowdoin
College, would be a candidate in the
Democratic primary July oath. Mr.. Stills
is SO years old. was born in Nova Scotia,
and came to Maine with his parents in
1880. He is graduate of Bowdoin COL
aege and ranks high as an educator. but
his qualifications for the position he seeks
are an unknown quantity.
Two Republican Congressman, Peters
of the Sd and Guernsey of the 4th district,
had been prominently mentioned in this
connection, but the former, in an announce
ment published on another page prefers
to hold en- to his seat in the House, while
Guernsey is cut for the Senate. The first
candidate for the vacant seat in the Sen
ate was Hon. Ira G. Hersey Of Houlton,
and it was thought last week thathe
would be unapposed in the Republican
primary; but now it is said that he may
be candidate for the seat in the House
to be vacated by Guernsey. Early and
prominent in the field was Hon. Bert M.
Fernald who was close second in the
recent three sided contest for the nomi-
nation for the full term in which Hon.
Frederick Hale of Portland was the win
ner. Admiral Peary has also announced
his candidacy, although an exchange in
the western part of the State says it is
not regarded seriously. Monday he with
drew his name.
