The Waldo County Convention.

The Waldo county convention for the
purpose of nominating a candidate for
sheriff, was held last Monday. There
was large and enthusiastic gathering of
the earnest, working Republicans from
all parts of the county, called to order
by DR.. o. S. Vickery and the convention
organized by the choice of Judge of Pro-
bate, Ellery Bowden as chairman and
County Attorney Ralph l. Morse as Sec
retary. Judge Bowden held the close at
tention of the convention by an eloquent
and forceful speech, preliminary to the
dispatch of the business for which the
convention was called. Brief and an,
propriate speeches presented the follow
ing citizens Of Waldo county to the con-
vention for balloting: Frank A. Little
field of Monroe, S. E. Bowler of Palermo,
Fred W. Curtis of Belfast, W. L. Gray of
Troy. On the third ballot Mr.. Littlefeld
was nominated, receiving Al votes while
Mr. Bowler had 28 and Mr. Curtis had
eight, Mr. Gray withdrawing.
Resolutions endorsing equal suffrage
received unanimous passage. Both old
timers and the young men of the Republi-
can party were in attendance in about
equal numbers. A general feeling found
expression, as the delegates exchanged
greetings, that the convention plan of
nomination was better thai the tedious
and expensive primary method. After
the business of the convention was finish
ed Hon. H. NJ. Cook of Augusta delivered
an excellent address, in which he pre-
sented the important issues of the cam
paign in a clear and log ical way, holding
the close attention of his hearers from
the first word to the last. Several ladies
were at the convention and manifested
great interest in the pro ceedings.

THE NEW POWER LINE AT DEER
RIPS:

The new power line of the Central
Name Power Company from Farming
dale to Deer Rips has reached the half
way mark of approximately Is miles and
another three weeks should see the line
about completed and ready for business.
A crew of more than 100 men, four
teams and three auto trucks have been
concentrated at the big construction
camp which is pitched at Monmouth town
farm near Tacoma Lakes, and they are
pushing the work ahead rapidly. The
pole settlers are progressing at the rate of
slightly under mile day. This is some
what less than scheduled time but is un-
aVoldable because of the slow delivery of
poles and other construction material
A gang of IA men and one big team
started stringing the big power wire on
the poles last week and as they are able
to run the wire across at the rate of ap-
proximately two miles day, they have
practically caught up with the pole set

ICE AND SNOW IN JULY.

A reminder of the hard winter we
struggled through was encountered by
the construction crew building the new
power house for the Central Maine Power
Company at Skowhegan. While exca-
waiting under the lea of the old retaining
wall on Mill street, the men found a
healthy bank of snow and ice!
After the ice was dragged out of its
hiding place into the air, it didn't last
long, but the engineers secured photo
graph of it before it melted. Digging up
ice and snow in July is unusual, even in
Maine.
The steel work on the new power house
is more than half completed and work
has been started on the new dam which
will be built from the end of the power
house across the south channel.

Harding Face to Face.

Hon. GuyP. Gannett of Augusta, mem
Der of the Republican National Commit

there he went to Marion to take part in
the ceremonies in connection with the
notification of Senator Harding of his
nomination. Mr.. Gannett had long talks
with Senator Harding and was able TO
bring back to Maine a first hand view of
the Republican candidate and to give a
word picture of this most interesting of
Americans from the viewpoint of a Maine
man. Mr.. Gannett said:

I've been privileged to meet a good
many prominent men, one time and an
other, and lots of prominent men have
given me the feeling that they are in

service to his town, county and State.
The burial was in the family lot in the
Plains Cemetery.
The following is an original poem re-
onA rood of tho h,,
Morgan:
RESIGNATION
just yesterday we met him,
Heard his CHEEKY greeting,
Saw him smile, and now
Our friend lies low.
When good men die
We humbly bow our heads
And acquiesce, but wonder why;
And so today
When he, our friend, lies low
We cannot understand,
But only pray,
And wait the time when we
Shall know, why they who
Are not only brave. but true,
Should have to 60.
We need him much;
The page he left unfinished
Awaits his pen, his word, his touch;
And in this hour when
Many dangers threaten
And heavy clouds hang low,
We need his strength and courage
Most of all his power;
And we are grieved that he
Should have to CO.
To US it seems his task is uncompleted
The work he craved to do
Is still undone;
And yet, o God, we bow in resignation
And simply say
Thy will, o Lord, be done.
