CHANDLER URGES
SUPPORT OF WEEKS
FOR PRESIDENT
New England Should Show Her
Full Power and Exert Her In
fluence in Restoring Rcpubi-
cans to Power

In signed editorial in the Concord.
IN. HI Monitor Dec. 81, Former L.
5. Senator William E. Chandler urges
New England to give solid support to
Senator John w Weeks for the Presi-
Gency. He says:
1T seems to me very clear that all
New England Republicans ought 10
support Mr.. Weeks as our candidate
for President. He unmistakably pos
sesses all the intellectual and moral
qualifications indispensable for the
performance Of the duties of the high
Office. He has no fault whatever to
become apparent when he is thus en-
gagged in the service Of his country.
There is nothing in his career or
character which will tend TO take from
him single Republican vote any
where. On the contrary. his unobtru-
sive wisdom, good sense and conserva-
tism, with sufficient progressiveness
will Graw to his support thousands OF
Democratic voters.
There are other reasons of great
weight which make il important that
MIR. v eeks should receive the earnest
and unanimous support of the six Ne"
England states in the approaching
National convention. With such sup
port he stands greater chance than
any New England candidate has ever
yet had Of receiving the nomination.
He may be nominated for President
and if not, he may be made nominee
for Vice President or he may become
member Of the cabinet or he may
remain United States Senator. and in
any of these high Offices he will be
sure 70 be a credit and honor TO his
Commonwealth and his country.
But there is a reason greater than
any other why New England should
unanimously support Mr.. Weeks in the
convention, ard that is, THAI thereby
New England will show her full pow
CT and exert her ample influence in
the work Of restoring the Republican
party TO dominance and Of ejectlng
trcn: control the incompetent Democ-
racy New England soiidar-
!ty should be our watchword.'

AUGUSTA BASEBALL FANS
SUGGESTION FOR 1916 SEASON

! is working upon plans to raise MONEY
for baseball the coming season, but they
are seriously handicapped by having
grounds so far away from the center Of
the city that it seriously hurts he at
tendance at the games. But Gardils-
has lot of plucky men who love The
game and who stay to the unish OF the
season every time.
Now the little Trolley League, CON,
prising Augusta. Hallowell. Gardner and
Winthrop. will probably start anothe,
season. unless a different league Of sons
Kind is formed. For. believe me, the fan.
IN central Maine want, and will have
some Kind of baseball next season,
SkowheSan, while quite a long 0avs
away, seems to be the one best drawing
town on the baseball map. and if a cir.
cult comprising Lewiston, Winthrop. Az
gusta. Gardiner Waterville and Skoyhe
gan, could be formed it would, I believe
De the most compact and practical cir
cunt possible for Central Maine. But
there IS doubt if Waterville would
ma enough baseball enthusiasm to ION
such league or to stay to the finish
But Halloweil. while not as large n city
as Waterville, would in my opinion be
one of the best cities in the league for
attendance at the games. and it would re.
duce the travelling expenses quite little
for there is only one way league cal live
and that is by using local men as a
nucleus OF the different teams and keep
ing the travelling expenses down to the
minimum.
With four or five men at most as out.
side men and the rest local players, I be.
lIeve league formed of the cities men.
toned. would furnish high grade Of
baseball to the fans in Central Maine
and all of them would be able to finish
the season in good shape. If some one
else interested in the only real sport on
the map, has a better plan or a better
circuit l. hope he will favor the Journal
with his plan and his ideas in the near
future. How would Skowhegan and
Lewiston like to join such a League!

THIS remark gives you the index Of
his character. He pats the locomo-

cooking his head iudiciously says:
I'm hev to be a-gittin me one of
them fer myself. some day" Then
there is Barbara Allison, the pretty,
snobbish daughter Of the rich man,
whom the poor boy loves. The story
is one Of thrills--for the boy goes out
into the world and prepares himself
to return to Barbara, good enough
for her" 1t is a tale vividly told
throughout, carrying the freshness of
