Political Advertisement.

On the oath day of July the
Republicans will vote for a nomi-
nee to succeed the late Senator
Burleigh.
The opponents of Democracy
in Eastern Maine present the
name of Congressman Frank E.
Guernsey for this position.
The nomination fairly and
justly belongs in the eastern part
of Maine and is in accord with
the party usage of distributing
the senators between the east
and west divisions of the State
which is we'll established and has
prevailed through a long period
of our history.
Two senators from the ex-
IRENE western portion of the
State within a few miles of each
other would be unfair and such
a ticket would not appeal to the
spirit Of fair play.
Mr.. Guernsey has served eight
years in Congress, and his record
as a Congressman is known to
all men and requires no fulsome
commentator.
The people of Maine, require
a man to serve them in the
Senate who is already equipped
with that knowledge of congress
sional and national affairs that

a medical examiner under Section nine,
after the completion OF his examination,
autopsy or inquest, in the first instance
to deliver the body upon claim, either TO
the husband or wife as the case may be;
second, to the next of kind and third, to
any friend of the deceased But in the
even that the body is unidentified or is
unclaimed for a period not less than is
hours following the view, it then becomes
the duty of the medical examiner to de
liver the body to the overseers of the
poor. if a town, or if in a plantation or
an unorganized place, to the county COM
missioners of that county. 1t then be-
comes the duty of the overseers of the
poor or county commissioners. as the case
may be, to decently bury the body or
they may deliver it to the board of dis
tributon under such conditions as pro
vided in Section three of Chapter Il of
the Revised Statutes.
IF the deceased had settlement within
the State the municipality liza BILE for his
support should reimburse the town or
, county for the expense of burial of the
body.
If the deceased had no settlement in
the State then the town or county should
be reimbursed by the state for the eX-
pense of such burial
IF the case is one where the State
should reimburse. it should be paid to the
town or county through the overseers of
the poor or the county commissioners.
The bills, however, need not be approved
by the medical examiner, for, in my
opinion, his authority ceases when the
body is turned over by him to the over
seers of the poor or the county commits
sioners for their disposition of it,
1T is my opinion that the law as for
INFLATED in Section III does not contem-
plate that medical examiners for their
service should submit an account to the
State auditor for payment This section
seems to be very clear that medical eX-
aminers shall render an account OF MS
expenses in each case including fee 10
the county attorney who thereunon snail
audit same and then submit the bill to the
county commissioners for their approval
and pavment The above section does
not in my opinion, contemplate That snch
expenses should he referred to the state
auditor for approval and payment From
a careful examination of the law. il would
seem that the state is only liable for =
decent burial of the body Of the deceased
who did not have at the time of death
settlement within the state"
