Editorial Comment
Governor MiIIiken's Stewardship
portland EXpress)

~ vi tAeIiiA La PiSSoP
Governor Carl E. Milliken yester-
day rendered an account of his stew
ardship to the men who elevated him
to the honored position which he
holds and which in turn he SO highly
honors. He went into detail, neces :
sarily with some brevity, as to the
accomplishments Of the administra-
ton which the people are to be asked
to continue for two years more in the
management of State affairs. And he
emphasized with considerable force
the keynote of that administration
as he outlined how he had cooper
ated in every way possible with the
Federal Government in the prosecu-
ton of +he war, sparing neither his
time nor strength to that end. how
he has wrought hourly for the bene-
fit of the whole people of Maine. how
he has sought and listened carefully
to all advice, and how he has spurned
dictatiOn from any source. These
have been the high lights Of the
Governors official course. Aided by
a Legislature which sought to ad-
vance every interest VI lIc otdlcs
governed himself by the highest
principles, aiming always to do what
has been for the best interest of the
people in the most crucial period of
their entire history, he is ready in no
spirit of craftsmanship, to continue in
the service of the people, If they de-
sire to retain him, giving public no.
tice now that he deems it no part
of his duty to enter upon a partisan
campaign for his own reelection,
that the in portant duties of his office
will require all his attention save to
render such explanation as it may. be
the right of the people to demand at
his hand.
Governor Mlliken's address made
a most profound impression upon the
convention. and he may return to his
official duties conscious that this duty
which he performed yesterday. this
rendering of his account to his fell
low Republicans was done. as all his
official let's have been done. com
pletely, With the highest purpose. and
with splendid results. Let the people
Of Maine remember that no public
record made by any man advanced
to public station can eclipse this one
which tho present Governor of Maine
has rendered.
