Names Young Governors.

Since his election in September, 1916
Governor Milliken, who celebrated hi,
10th birthday on July 20, has been asked
hundreds of times If he were not the
youngest Governor ever elected in
Maine. While he would like to claim
this honor he Is unable to do so, for,
while be was only thirty-nins years and
two months old when be was elected
several other chief executives have been
we'll under twoscore years when they
have been chosen to control the affairs
OF the state.
Hon. Albion z. Paris OF Paris has the
distinction OF being the youngest man

couple of weeks after that ceremony be
became thirty-four years Of age. -Four
times be was reelected and he could
have been governor the sixth time, bu
he declined the honor. He retired from
the gubernatorial chair after serving
more terms than any other man who hal
ever occupied II and was only thirty
eight years of age at the time.
In singular contrast to Governor Parri'
was Hon. Enoch Lincoln of Portland
who was seventy seven years old wheI
he was elected to succeed Names young
est governor. Governor Lincoln wa,
the oldest man to take Office.
Other governors who were under
forty years of age when they were elected

gor, governor in 1888 and 1s41; John W
