MRS. BALENTINE
NOT A CANDIDATE
FOR REELECTION

Mrs. Arthor T. Balentine of Port
land in public statement issued on
Saturday made it known that she did
not wish her friends to urge her cam
didacy for reelection as president of
ton, at the annual meeting tomorrow
TUESDAY in Augusta)
When | accepted the presidency
last fall" she said, 1T was with the
understanding that I could give only
a year to the work; and my home and
business cares make it necessary for
me to deny the wishes of friends l.,
too, expect to be out of the state this
winter
Mrs. Balentine has been a very loyal
worker for the suffrage amendment
this year, throwing her energy, time
and resources into the campaign,
heart and soul Her beautiful home
has always been open Hospitality
to suffrage speakers and she has trav-
eled no little about the State for the
cause, speaking to some extent in it's
behalf. One of the strongest speeches
in the whole campaign, made by either
man or woman, was her brief but
pointed address at the great closing
ia lily in Portland City hall Saturday
night before the election. 1t was a
masterpiece of logic and eloquence
The withdrawal of Mrs Balentine's
name, before the annual meeting,
laises much conjecture regarding the
possible candidates for the presidency
of the association. 1t is understood
hot MFa hnh n
Bangor is an active candidate for the
office. Whether other names will be
voted upon remains to be seen. The
election is by vote of the delegates
on the recommendations Of the NOM
irating committee of which Mrs Henry
w. Cobb of Augusta is chairman.

PUBLIC UTILITIES RE-
PORT ON DEATH OF
LATE LEWIS JOHNSON

The Maine Public Utilities Com
mission on Saturday made public the
following report on the investigation
of the death on Sept. last of Lewis
johnson of Augusta, whose remains
we're found on the Maine Central track
at Augusta:
Lewis johnson
Lewis Johnson. aged 35 years, OF
Augusta, was run over and instantly
Filled Ey some Fart Of a Maine Central
train about 300 feet west of the Rines
hill overhead bridge, on the west
bound track some time Sunday
morning, Sept. 9, 1917. The body was
found at about $50 A. NJ. and was not
then cold. its condition indicated that
death was instantaneous.
The two sections of Train No. s
left Augusta for Portland at 3.13 A.
NJ. and 4,51 A. NJ. 1t was a fosgy
morning and it is probable that one
section Of this train passed over him
without being noticed by TIE trainmen.
The only history of any acts that
might explain the accident is that he
was very much intoxicated during the
night preceding the accident and was
driven away from the station and
tracks once.
There is no evidence of fault on
the part of the railroad company or
OF its employees"

Half dozen big, strong men have

Half dozen big, strong men are

WHEAT CROP OFF.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, April Efforts of
American farmers to bring the winter
wheat crop to record production for
the war are apparently defeated by
severe weather conditions and the
crop is only four hundred and thirty
million bushels. The department of
agriculture announced the average
condition crop for April was one of
the lowest ever recorded on that date.
A record production of rye is fore
casted owing to the big increase OF
acreage, an insufficient snow cover
ing, and dry windy weather killed a
large portion of the wheat crop. Much
abandoned acreage will be planted in
corn in the south, and spring wheat
in the north.
