Get Together for Ellsworth.

Again an effort Is to be made to
unite the two organizations now hav-
ing a nominal existence in Ellsworth
the board of trade and the mer
chants association-into single or
ganiza.ion, revitalized, to work for
the industrial and commercial inter-
eets Of the city. A meeting OF mem
bers OF both organizations has been
called for Friday evening of this
week, to discuss plans.
We believe 1t goes without saying,
that under present conditions, with
two organizations having the same
primary objects. both are weakened
by feeling of rivalry, and waste their
energies, which should be united, in
internal dissension.
The board OF trade needs the re-
juvenating influence of the younger
merchants association; the mer-
chants association needs the re-
straint and wisdom of the older and
more conservative board of trade.
In the membership of both organ.
izations are many who recognize this,
and believe they should be united.
The ways and means OF bringing
about this union will be the subject OF
discussion and possible action at the
meeting Friday evening. Every
business man OF Ellsworth who has
the interests Of the city at heart
should try to attend this meeting
Let's get together for Ellsworth.

Correspondents.



To the Members Of the ELLSWORTH Board Of
Trade and the Eusscorth Merchants
Association:
There has never been . time in the
history Of Ellsworth when . commercial
organisation could be of greater useful
ness. We have the board OF trade and the
merchants association, both inactive.
The community is not large enough or
rich enough to support two organizations.
Regardless OF what has transpired in
the past, / am thoroughly convinced, in
conversing with members Of both organi-
xations, that the time has arrived for the
consolidation OF the two codes, or the
organisation Of one new institution to
care for the interests OF city development.
Commercial organizations all over the
State were never so active, never so sue
cessfui. In central and western Maine
boards OF trade and chambers OF COM
merce are securing many now industries.
In Ellsworth We have q pressing need OF
organization to promote and develop our
agricultural interests. county Agent
George N. Worden is now In need
OF assistance to aid him in carrying out q
most worthy work. This aid can come
from no other source than the local COM
mercisl organization. No line OF work
will do as much for Ellsworth as this; no
longer delay should be INDUCED in, and u
for no other reason than this, believe
that the mem bers OF the Ellsworth board
OF trade and the Ellsworth merchants
association can unite on common ground.
Wniie II the other organizations 10 The
State are busy and doing real things for
their communities, why should We take
up the ''de ID dog" cry and remain in
active?
Believing that there is Q strong senti
ment in this city for union OF the two
organizations, it is proposed that the
members OF these two bodies meet IN gen.
eral conference aud then take the proper
steps for consolidation.
Let US forget the past, and let us unite
our efforts and our energies for the present
and the future. Let Us put aside PERSONAL
tiles, throw politics over, and stand for
real business.
have been urged to take upon myself
the responsibility of calling meeting for
this purpose, and ! earnestly petition each
and every member OF the Ellsworth board
OF trade and the merchants association
to be present at the board OF trade and
merchants association rooms at Hancock
hall Friday evening, March 10, at 7.S0
O'Clock, to see what steps, il any, We can
take towards securing for Ellsworth a
things for city betterment and adj
vancement.
Let us not nuliiiy our possibilities in
this direction by failure to try to see what
can be done.
Very truly yours,
Roy e. HAlNE5.

The Elections.


The municipal election in Ellis
worth Monday was devoid Of ex-
element, as the democrats declined
to join battle with the republicans,
headed by Mayor Hagerthy, upon
whom was conferred the distinction
Of election for an eighth term, an
honor never before accorded an Els
worth man. A further compliment
was paid DR.. Haeerthy In the large
vote in an uncontested election.
A little spice was added to the cleo
ton by the democratic ticket in ward
4, and an independent candidate for
street commissioner. In both con-
tests the republicans won out. The
government will be solidly
the coming year.
Elections were held in nine other
Maine cities, the republicans retain
ing the gains made last year. Six Of
these cities elected republican mayors
and three democratic mayors. The
return OF Rockland to the democratic
fold was Offset by the election OF q
mayor and board OF alder
men in Hallowell, for the first time in
Eve years. Bath again elects q DEM
ocratic mayor and q republican
board. Lewiston remains democratic.
Auburn, Eastport. Saco. South Port
land and Waterville remain republI-
can.

House, designed to prevent Ameri-
cans from travelling on merchant
vessels OF the warning powers armed
with defensive guns. The Senate last
Friday killed the resolution by a vote
of So to IA. while the House yester-
day killed similar resolution by a
vote OF 276 to l42. The Maine dele
cation stood firmly behind the Presi-
dent. President Wilson is now free
to continue negotiations with Ger
many concerning that country's an
nounced intention to sink armed mer-
chant vessels without warning.
