LEWISTON MAYOR MAY
BE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
FOR GOVERNOR OF MAINE

Lewiston, March 20-Local friends
Of Charles P. Lemaire, mayor Of this
city, assert that there is possibility
that he may be selected to head the
Democratic ticket in Maine this fall.
When Lcmaire was first mentioned
as a gubernatorial candidate; last
spring, many were inclined to view
the assertion as a joke, but from the
gossip heard now in the Spindl&,city,
not a few are willing to admit that
he would prove strong candidate.
Mayor Lemaire won with ease IN
the Lewiston municipal campa;g n
this spring. receiving the largest vote
ever cast for any mayoralty4 canli-
date in this city. His popularity,
however, is not confined solely to
this city, as was evidenced by the
fact in the primaries of 1918 when he
defeated Hon. F. X Belleau, for the
Democratic nomination for clerk Of
courts, carrying the county by over
500 majority. Lemaire would I'M
doubtedly also prove a good vote get
ter in all the Franco-American pre-
cincts of the State, as it would be
the first time that a Franco Am.li
can had an opportunity to be a can

that the American school children

his name on a card and drop it into
