duties of Governor his entire time, and
the amount of work that he as done has
never been excelled by any other Cover
nor the State has ever had. Governor
MiIliken has served the State of Name
we'll. He has worked in harmony with
Names delegation in Congress and mas
done everything that he possibly could
do to protect the interests of Maine and
its citizens during a most trying period
Portland Daily Press, March 2, 1918.
Governor Milliken's address at the Re-
publican State Convention in Portland
made most profound impression upon
the convention and he may return to his
official duties conscious that this duty
which he performed yesterday, this rem
dering of his account to his fellow Repub-
licans, was done as all his official acts
have been done, completely, with the
highest purpose and with splendid re-
suits. Let the people of Maine remem-
Der that no public record made by any
man advanced to public station can
eclipse this one which the present Cover
nor of Maine has rendered Portland
EXPRESS Advertiser, March 20, 1918.
The Governor apparently prefers to
base his appeal for reelection on mtra-
State matters. Not the least among these
is his own record or war preparations
record in which even his bitterest po-
litical opponents can find nothing to con-
denim and great deal which they must
approve. Maine, under his leadership,
was the first State in the Union to appro-
pirate an adequate sum of money Tor war
purposes-and this money was used IN
such essential measures as the equipment
of our regiment for immediate service;
the esta Adjustment of fund for lncreas-
ing the paw of our soldiers and the inau-
duration of the coast patrol. Further
more, every department of the States
activities including the schools, the roads
and agriculture has, under the Governor S
guidance, been doing all that it could to
help in the war program of the Nation.
From the standpoint of business man.
aqement, Mr.. Milliken's administration
is certainly the best that the State has
had in recent years, at least. Not cent
has been expended unwisely, and real
business methods are in effect at Angus
ia. No one will doubt this who has fol-
lowed the course of events there during
the past fifteen months Mr.. Mllllken
will not be attacked on his business rec
ord, for he is not open to attack on those
grounds.
It is unnecessary to attempt to mention
all of the work the Governor has done,
or inspired in the direction of reform and
Improvement. He has been Governor
of and for the people, clean, able, honest,
open-minded and devoted as any execu-
tive could be to the duties of his high
office.
He will be entirely safe, we believe, in
appealing to the voters of Maine to re-
elect him as an endorsement for the work
he has already one.-Eastport Sentinel,
April 3, 1918.
Probably Maine has never had Gov
ernor who has worked harder or devoted
anywhere near as much time to the dis
charge of his duties as has Governor Mil
liken, Since his inauguration In Janu-
airy, 1917, he has given his entire time to
the affairs of the State. How many
meetings he has been called upon to at
tend, how many speeches he has had to
make, how many miles he has Travelled
and how many hours each day, including
