High Tension Line 10 Guilford

The determination of the Central
Maine Power Company to give its
customers high grade, uninterrupted
electric service, is again emphasized
by the Company's construction Of 4
new high tension, $4,000 volt line
from SkoWhegan to Guilford, dis
lance If approximately IS miles. The
old high tension line goes from Water
vile. thru pittstield. Corinna, Guilford
etc. to Greenville Station, the north
ern point of the companys system
Because this is a single power line,
any break or trouble Immediately
throws off all power in the towns be
yond The break until repairs are made
i is to offset this condition that the
new line is being built. When it is
completed. power will be thrown
through both the new and the old
lines. A break anywhere along eth
er line will simply mean that a small
section of a few miles will be cut off
Power flowing through the two high
tension lines will insure electricity
for all the towns except one that may
be within the cutoff section. The
new line will not only act as Pow
er Insurance. for the towns served
through it, but it will also tend to
improve and maintain steadily the
voltage in that district Its use will
not increase the revenues of the COM
pany by SO much as one penny it is
understood here. 1t is just a part of
their endeavor to give good service.
1t is expected that this line will be
finished before winter shuts in.

THE Race.

The record OF the Democratic party
for the seven fat years is good one.
but It is not self -perpetuating. There
is nothing vitality wrong with the plat
form either, hut no platform in these
days Of the high cost OF paper Is worth
what Il is made OF without man to
stand on II,
Gov. Cox realizes that the country
is more interested in the future conduct
OF the Democratic party than In It's past
He also knows full well that his party
platform may do very well as platforms
go. but needs a certain amount OF spe-
citic individual treatment on the nomt'
nee's part before it can be taken 70
mean anything really
As a candidate ire governor has the
right idea, and he shows his superiority
as a race runner over the Republican
candidate each day more than he did
the day before.
The difference between the two can
didates Is that the governor is man
with 4 personality OF his own, and the
Renator is man whose mind goes
along with his pnrty's. The governor
IS spontaneous and the senator is dig
niftd The governor forms his own
opinions, and says them with spirit,
the senator taxes his opinions from his
party lin It's conferences ard pro
nounces them with the gravity Of the
prophets dispensing words Of wisdom
greater than their owr.
The Democratic party picked 4 mighty
getter Of votes when Il turned 10 the
three times governor Of popuous

more votes outside Of Chic the same
way that he has shown such talent for
getting them in ohio. He Will 60 out
