dacy for office of Solicitor General, in

tive aid and encouragement to con-
structive good and peace to the coun.

Every effort will be made to make

The new empowering measure was
introduced last week by Senator

But the bills are SO broad that its

HEARST BOOM IS
STARTED IN n. Y.
WIDELY KNOWN EDITOR is PRO-
POSED FOR GOVERNOR-MAYOR
HYLAN is ONE OF HIS SUPPORT
Frs.

NEW YORK, March 27.-The Hearst
gubernatorial boom was officially
launched last night at Harris Hall
Gates avenue and Broadway. Brokk-
Ign, in the hall in which the Hylan
boom was started nearly year ago,
and by the organization OF which
Mayor Hylan is an ex-president The
actual launching was done by David
Hirschfield, old friend and appointee
of Mayor Hylan.
Mr. Hirschfeld, who has been as
sociated with Mayor Hylan for years,
is chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee of the Allied Boards OF
Trade and Tax Payers Association
1t was to him that the letter the may
or wrote from Palm Beach praisins
Hearst was submitted Mr.. Hirschfield
suggests Hearst for governor.
In the report reference is made to
that Palm Beach trip and the letter
and much is made of the shortcom-
ings Of other city administrations. 1t
is stated that the new city admins
tration has found various commissions
and boards and laws which make it
impossible to "rearrange or reorgan
ize taxation on a fair and equitable
basis" Hence, I'VE must see that the
next governor and the next legisla
ture will be in sympathy with all our
aims" So, the committee, agreeing
with Mayor Hylan, reports:
Your committee has inquired into
tie services of William Randolph
Hearst to the people, and we find them
to be pre-eminent. Through his news
papers and his speeches and writings
Mr.. Hearst has always fought for the
Interests of the people against those
of special privileges and private
monopolies. He has fought corruption
in government and has been in the
forefront of all efforts to take the pub
lie utilities out of the hands of the
small group of selfish men who con-
troll them He has for years been a
leader for municipal ownership.
Mr.. Hearst, the report says, was for
Woman Suffrage; his voice and pen
have always been ready to block those
who sought to injure or betray the
people, and he has always been ac-
tuated "by the highest public spirit.
Therefore:
In view of Mr. Hearst's efforts and
achievements in the public behalf, we
recommend that this and all other
civic taxpayers organizations in the
should unite on him as the candidate
of the people for governor as against
the candidate or candidates of selfish
interests"

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying a little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra
LARGE bottle, $1.00. Healing begins the
moment zeno is applied. In a short time
usually every trace Of eczema, letter,
pin1ples, rash, blackheads and Similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making 1t
VIGOROUSLY healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. 1t is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.

New Assistant Supervisor
Nominations by Governor

Just four names were posted on the
nomination board IN the Executive
offices late Wednesday afternoon
This is The smallest list Of nominal
tions made by Governor Milliken
since he assumed Office nearly %
months ago. More remarkable than
that, there wasn't notary public in
the list.
OF chief interest in the nomina tons
was the posting Of the name of E. A.
Cartret Of Westbrook to be a men,
Der of the State Board of Arbitration
and Cancellation. He will succeed
James a. O'Neill Of Portland, who
was appointed last summer. Mr..
O'Neill is a special compositor in the
composing rooms of the Portland
Daily Press, man of unusual ability
not only II his own work but in labor
matters. He feared that some matter
might require the attention of the
State Board when his Office duties
would not permit his leaving. so he
decided 10 resign as an arbitrator.
Mr.. Cartret, his successor, is car
penter and is described as being a
very desirable type for the State
Board.
The other nominations made
Wednesday were for justice of the
peace ana were: Harvard W. Elwell
of Northport, Clarence f. Paul of
Rockiand and H. T. Waterhouse Of

The winter Of l917-1s was the hard
street cars which any person now
alive can remember. The severity Of
the season, the, scarcity Of labor, the
difficulty and at times The impossi-
hility of obtaining materials with
which to make necessary repairs.
caused the service given by practi-
caily all the electric railways in
Maine to be~almost as bad as it could
be. Cars were almost never on time,
the use Of the equipment without the
opportunity for repairs caused such
equipment'tp be in unusually bad
shape. and the inability of the COM
panies to bring about repair resulted
in the withdrawal from service of "A
considerable number of cars on each
line. 1t is urged and believed by
some people that the officials of the
companies have been in measure at
fault in not being ready TO meet even
the unusual conditions. Whatever
may have been the real cause of this
failure of service. the public has been
greatly Inconvenience and this COM
mission has many times been at a
loss to know what, if anything, could
be done to improve the service
1T should be understood that there
is a limit to the authority of any
regulatory commission. and if that
limit is passed the commission has
entered the field of management and
overstepped the bounds of regulation.
1t is for the companies, in so far as

ment room of the State library, To-
Gated on the first floor of the Capitol
and connected with the main library
room by steel staircase, was in ba j
condition and that much damage was
being done the valuable books and
reports stored therein. 1t was decid-
ed to thoroughly renovate that room.
The work has been completed and the
new quarters are. now occupied.
A thick concrete floor was laid. en-
surfing a dry room. The old shelving,
venience of anyone. was taken out
and replat ed by fan better arranged
set, with wider aisles, permitting the
use. Of the book truck between them
and easy rassagc Of anyone using
them. A rice set OF deep shelves are
located on one end Of the room, built
to contain a months issue Of any

All the States publications are now,
by law, sent direct upon issue to the
State librarian. who attends to all
distributions. Thus all publications
are received in this room and are
shipped ,ut from there. 1t is now a
very convenient apartment and mucn
appreciated by the library force.
Now that you have been all over
the State House anG seen books, mag
azines and newspapers in every con-
ceivabie nook and corner. some all
most inaccessible on account of their

the proposition that the Maine State
