Peculiar Combinations
For September Elections

Some peculiar combinations will be
used on the official ballot which will
be used at the September election.
For instance, the present judge Of
probate, Hon. Nicholas Fessenden OF
Fort Fairfield. a Republican, has also
been nominated by the other two par
ties having a ticket in that county,
the Democrats and Progressives, SO
that Judge Fessenden need not wor-
ry about his election. Addison z.
Herrick of Bethel, the judge Of pro
bate for oxford county, Republican,
failed to accept the Democratic and
Progressive nominations which were
accorded him, so that the Progress
sives and Democrats have no candi p
date for judge of probate in that
county.
George V. Hammond of Van Buren,
has been nominated by both the Re
publicans and Democrats in his class
district as a representative to the
Legislature, SO that Mr.. Hammond is
sure Of his election, as neither the
Progressives. Socialists or Prohibi-
tionists made nominations in that
class district. Eben F. Littlefeld OF
Belfast. the present chairman Of the
Industrial Accident Commission. Gre
ated under the workmen's compensa-
ton act passed at the last session CT
the Legislature, who was the Demo-
cratic nominee for county attorney OF
Waldo county, failed to accept that
nomination, and the Democratic cou7-
ty committee Of Waldo county select

Il have read with some interest the ar
guments which are being sent broadcast
over the State, 1 understand. in opposi-
ton to the endorsement Of the measure
by the voters in September and I cannot
hnd any reason to cause me to change
my mind in regard to the measure nor do
l see anything in the arguments that
should cause anyone who favored the
bill when 1t was before the Legislature
to change their minds"
On being asked who. in his opinion. was
behind the movement, the commissioner
replied:
II recall that when the measure was
before the Legislature In 1915 Scott VII.
son Of Portland addressed the labor COM
mittee in opposition to the measure and
said that he represented the textile inter-
ests OF the State. I presume that the
same interests that were opposed to .ne
bill are opposed to it now. In fact. soma
