Season to Broker

LONG BRANCH, N. j., June 15.-The
last Of the famous houses associated
with the name Of President Garfield
disappeared last night, when fire de-
stroyed the shore cottage where the
President spent his last days. The
blaze is believed to have started from
spontaneous combustion. The house
was owned by the Fidelity Trust Com
pany. Fred Sells, a New York broker,
rented the place recently and was to
have moved into it to-day.

ber 1881, his physician ordered him to

Democratic National Convention.
The Vice. President added that he was
not candidate for the Presidency. but
on the contrary, was about to retire
from politics. He declared that the Re-
publicans were in error if they assumed
the election of Senator Harding was
foregone conclusion, and that President
Wilson did not want third term, but
could be nominated and elected for one
if he did.
OF Senator Harding's candidacy the
Vice-President said:
"The Republicans are not so we'll
pleased now as they were on Saturday
night Personally, have high regard
for Senator Harding. I would do any
thing for him except vote for him. The
Republicans are making the mistake Of
their lives in thinking Of the November
election as a foregone conclusion and
of the Democrats as a disorganized,
defeated party. They are going to find
US very much alive in November"
MIR. Marshall decried lavish expend-
itures of money in connection with
Presidential campaigns. 1t was dis
heartening," he said, adding that he
regretted the Republicans were not
the only guilty ones"

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Colonel z.
NJ. House Is not to represent the United
States government at the conference q.
Spa, nor will he serve in any quasi
official capacity for this government
while in Europe, it was said to-day at
the State Department.
1t was explained that Colonel House
is going to Europe as a citizen of tho
United States, with no special mission
for the government. If his views arc
sought by any of the Allied governments,
it was said, they undoubtedly would be
given by him with the reservation that
they represented his viewpoint only and
not that of the American government

KENYON Willing to Helm

FORT DODGE, Iowa, June 15.-Sen-
ator W. S. Kenyon, who has returned
to his home here for rest, declared
to-day that he was disappointed be-
cause the Republicans failed to nomi-
nate a progressive for President" but
sal he was willing to take the stump
20 help insure Republican victory in
November. Prior to the convention
Senator Kenyon campaigned for John
son.
The people are so disgusted with
the Wilson Administration" said Sem
ator Kenyon, that thoy will elect
Harding. The Republicans, however,
may as we'll set over the idea that the
election is a cinch, and it behooves
every Republican to buckle down to
hard work for the ticket. Governor
Cooldge's nomination for Vice-Presi-
dent strengthens the ticket in the East
and undoubtedly throughout the whole
country
as usual, the country west of the
Mississippi is forgotten, but that part
q the country also will be forgotten
by the Democrats. Either McAdoo,
Marshall or Cox will be named by the
Democrats. =
Says Roosevelt Would Have Lost
The most disappointing part of the
delegates unable to act until they re-
ceived word from sick boss in Phila-
dolpha. There will be strange par
allel at San Francisco when the dele
gates will await word from a sick boss
at Washington. There never was a
chance in this boss controlled conven-
tion for man of Hiram Johnson's s
type. The convention was strong fo-
Rcosevelt-he being dead. If Roosevelt
had been alive he would have had about
as much chance in the convention as
Johnson. If Johnson had been dead he
probably would have had as much con-
dol rce as Roosevelt.

The Work on the Power Plant.

John Calvin Stevens of Portland
has been appointed consulting archi-
tect for the Central Maine Power
Company to design the power house
that is to. be built at Skowhegan and
for making the station building =
structure of beautiful and dignifieG
lines that will make it credit to the
Company and an object of pride to
Skowhegan people.
The high water the last week OF
March came and went without do
ing any damage to the construction
work already completed During
February the heavy SHOWS tied up
the gravel shipments for making
concrete and the men on the job We're
sent to Bangor and other places to
dig out the gravel needed so badly
The gravel was dug oct and put
into concrete construction just in
time. On Monday March IS, the
river rose to within a few inches OF
the top of the protecting cofferdam
and finally forced leak through 1t.
The cofferdam gradually filled with
water, but the concrete power units
No. l and 2 were finished above the
water mark and no damage was
done. ..........
Though the water was high for
several days. the thick ice above the
Skowhegan dam did not 90 out and
has not Yet broken up. For a pecu.
liar reason. the ice above the Show
hogan dam always goes out on a
Sunday. This is because. the mills
shut down on that day and the water
backs up above the dam and forces
the ice to break up and starts it
down the stream
The cofferdam has once more been
pumped out and work on power Unit
No. is under way. The engineers
report they are well along with
their work and. barring unforeseen
difficulties. the station should be
completed and turning out power by
October 1.
