The SECOND MAINE INFANTRY.

AS the people of Belfast are doubtless aware.
the status of the End Infantry is that of Ma
tional Guard regiment, called into the United
States service by the President of the United
States under the provisions of the Army Re-
organization act of June 8, 1876 At the con-
clusion of the emergency which occasioned the
call on the States for troops, the regiment will
be returned to Maine and will resume its form
er status and will receive its orders thereafter
from the Governor of Maine, constitutional
commander in-cbief of the Maine National
Guard
The regiment went to the border with a
strength of about 100 enlisted men. It's war
strength should be about 1900 enlisted men
and it is for the purpose of bringing it up to
this strength and to replace the losses due to
the impending discharge of considerable
number of married men who left dependent
families at home, that an extensive recruiting
campaign has been undertaken. Three re-
cruiting parties are operating in the State
composed of officers and men called into the
federal service for that purpose from the
Coast Artillery Corps. N. G. S. M. The party
IN Bangor is composed of Capt. Henry W.

u. S. SENATOR JOHNSON A FREE
TRADER,

NEW YORK, September a, 1916. "a bald at
tempt has been made to deceive the voters of
Maine as to the tariff views and performances
| Of Charles F. johnson, Democratic candidate
for reelection to the United States Senator"
said Ralph D. Cole chairman of the Speakers
Bureau of the Republican National Commute,
in statement recently issued:
Senator johnson has been represented as
endeavo ring to do whatever he can to help
the ind ustries of his State and further their
interests.
"As matter of fact Senator johnson al 8
dyed-in-t thew wool free trader. Far from help
ing Maine industries he has done, and will
doubtless continue to do,everything to destroy
them that free trade legislation can do. He
worked and voted for the Underwood tariff
law, and if that is not sufficient proof of where
he stands we have the further evidence that
he is one of the vice presidents of the Ameri.
can Free Trade League and his name is signed
to an appeal to the citizens of the United States
to do their part in establishing free trade in
this country.
This appeal, which was issued by George
Haven Putnam, president of the Free Trade
League, declares its purpose frankly in the
following words:
"'The American Free Trade League pro
poses to do what may be practicable toward
the creation of public opinion, in the United
States, and throughout the world, in support of
the contention that protection is itself q form
Of war, and that freedom of trade constitutes
an essential factor toward securing and main
tanning the peace of the world The members
of the league place this ideal before their
| fellow citizens of the Republic with the hope
that the influence of the United States may be
utilized, in the settlement that is to follow this
war, toward breaking down the protective
| barriers between nations. The work of those
/ who believe in the fullest possible interchange
between peoples of the world, not only Of goods
but of ideas and of human sympathy, consti-
tutes the essential foundation fer the worlds
| Federation. The American Free Trade League
! appeals to the citizens of the Republic to do
| their part in furthering this great work
Republican campaigners." continued Mr.
Cole, twill see to it that Maine voters are fully
&C quainted with Senator Johnson's free trade
| record. He and his democratic colleagues,
with Presid ent Wilson as their inspiring exam
| pie, may undertake to fool the people, but they
will not succeed. Trusting Democrats to enact
tariff legislation that will help American in
dustries is too much like entrusting horse
doctor with the administering of the Geodetic
Survey. and only Democrats do that sort of
thing"

THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. | had
an experience few days since which, to
me, was quite out of the ordinary, though
it may not interest your readers. While
coming down on the boat a few days
since among the passengers was young
newspaper reporter, who told us more
about the State of Maine than had ever
heard or read, though | have always
4ived here. He mentioned numerous
men and women who had distinguished
themselves at home and he also stated
that Maine had supplied U. S. Senators.
Governors. and congressman for numer-
GUS other States. He said there were
three brothers, all Maine men, represent
ing different States in Congress at the
same time Then he told US that the
Governors of three Pacific Coast States
were natives of Maine, and all serving
about the same time. An old gentleman,
who was listening asked if he knew the
States, and the names of the men. He
named Washington, California and
Nevada, but he only remembered George
c. Perkins, eX- Governor. of California,
who is now serving his fourth term as
U. S. Senator from that State. He then
went on to tell of the beauties of the
coast and interior resorts, the facilities
for fishing, sailing rowing, hunting,
canoeing, ETC., and said these resorts were
extensively patronized for an outing in
warm weather by people of wealth from
all over the world, much of which was
news, and all of which was quite interest
ing to ME. Since my arrival home, in
connection with this incident | have
learned that the old man who was a
stranger to US all, ard who asked the
names of the Governors of the three
States, was himself one of the three

of the same kin, who have made enviable

As am candidate on the Democratic tick ct

make a statement at this time that will answer
the question that may be asked in sections
where l am not personally known as to whom
every voter desires to know all possible about
the man he is called to support
Briefly stated, here is my history. Born in
Vinalhaven September H. 1878 my parents
moved to Monroe when was but two wears old.
and lived in that town thirty years. following
the occupation of farming and think the peo-
pie of Monroe and adjoining towns thoroughly
understand my business methods, and nv repu-
tation for doing any work with which am en-
trusted honestly and faithfully.
Some five years ago came to Brooks and
purchased mill, where l now conduct
business under the firm name of Jenkins Lum.

What education l possess obtained in
the excellent schools of Monroe. When Mr.
Edwin Jenkins was sheriff, served as one of
his deputies, and have also served as constable
IN Brooks. These are the only offices have
held as l have never been an office seeker.
l belong to but on esecret society, and am a
member of Golden Crown Lodge, No 1OS, K.

Lodge of this order.
There is point l wish to make clear to
every voter.
1t has been brought to my attention that my
opponents endeavoring to make political
capital out of their repeated assurances that
eff Jenkins is elected he will not enforce all
of the laws"
| Now am not making promises for the pur-
poses of securing my election, but in answer
to this unwarranted, indefensible and untrue
statement that is being circulated, l am pre-.
pared to state that if am elected Sheriff OF

best of my ability. required by the oath that
l shall take. and from my fellow citizens who
