HAL GARDNER
QUITE CONFUSED
OVER RESULTS

Boston, June IL Hal Gardner of
Portland, the Maine member Of the
Progressive national committee, was
quite as much confused as many of
the other prominent members of the
party who had heard Col. Roosevelt's
message read in the convention.
Mr.. Gardner said that he proposed
to return to Maine and call together
the leaders of the party and those
who had been considering running as
candidates this fall. Maine is one Of
the States to hold an early election
and Mr.. Gardner felt that immediate
consideration of the local situation
was necessary. Regarding Col. Roose-
vents message, Mr.. Gardner said;
I'VE feel at present that the aspi-
rations Of the men who went into this
movement four years ago have been
thwarted. These aspirations were for
the establishment of new political
party to be governed by the people"

Hughes. Jr., was the center Of attrac-
ton at the military training camp
here Saturday. When a telegram was
received at the camp announcing the

tent reading a paper. When told the
news he asked apparently in all sin
cerity, Has he accepted" Hughes
received the congratulations of the
camp modestly While he was shaking
hands with the members of Co. G, to
which he belongs. the commander,
with a detail of regulars, marched
through the company street issuing
entrenching tools, and the young man
was handed a pick which he will car
ry with him on his hikes" this week
and with which he will assist in dig
ging the trenches which the command
will be ordered to construct.
Soon after receiving the pick the
command came to police up" and
Hughes with the other men of the
company passed an hour cleaning up
the company street, duty they are
called upon to perform daily.

GENERALIZATION

Early Saturday evening Chairman
Frank J. Ham of the Republican State
committee sent a brief message Of
congratulation to Former Justice
Charles Evans Hughes upon his NOM
ination as Republican standard bear
er of the country in the great cam
paign. The telegram read:
Justice Charles E. Hughes,
Washington, D. G.
Please accept hearty congratulations
from Republicans of Maine.
FRANK j. HAM, Chairman
1T was a telegram which thousands
of Maine Republicans would gladly
have subscribed to Saturday evening.
Hughes has been the choice of the
great majority of Maine Republicans
for months and at the Portland con-
vention it was everywhere evident,
though no expression was given in
convention, that the Justice was the
hope of a large majority Of the dele
gates. Maine has every reason to be
pleased and satisfied with the nomi-
nation made in Chicago Saturday.
