terth on January 81, 1921. only twenty
i've days after Gov. Frederick II. Park
hurst had assumed the duties OF office,
Mr. Baxter was the President or the
Senate then, and succeeded to the Gcv-
ernorship by virtue of his office. since
then he has formulated certain policies
hat he would like TO see furthered by
eEother two years term as Governor,
and so he has become n forceflll and
aggressive candidate.
Gov Baxter's opponents are John
Percy Deering of Saco. and Leon I. Hig-
gins OF Brewer. These two men OPP
posed each other for the presidency of
the Senate in 1919. and just when it APP
peared as IL Mr.. Deering had the neces-
sary votes some of them slid away and
Higgins won by the slender margin OF
one. During the primary campaign oil
two years ago Mr.. Deering was In
three cornered contest for Governor,
when his opponents We're Mr.. Parkhurst,
who became the nominee, and Gov. Milli-
ken Deering won second place and a
few days after the primary election was
quoted In the newspapers as stating that
he would again go before the people as
candidate for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation in 1929. This aroused q storm OF
protest from the ParlShurst supporters.
Mr.. Deering Immediately declared that
he had been nliaquoted and that he did
not intend to become a candidate until
the termina ton of Gov. Parkhurst' s
tenancy The sudden death OF Gov.
Parkhurst caused change in MIR. Deer
ings plans. and he declared his cam
didacy several months ago. Tie takes
the view that Gov. Baxter Is not entitled
to use the title Governor" in its fullest
sense because he is merely an acting
Governor. Mr.. Deering is a lawyer and
former Municipal Court Judge. Mr.. Elig-
gins is one Of the leading insurance men
in eastern Maine
Thus far no candidates are seeking
the Democratic nomina ton for Governor
but Mayor Walter Gilpatric of Saco and
Charles w. Mullen of Bangor are promi-
nently mentioned for the honor.
Senator Frederick Hale comes up for
reelection this year and is to be opposed
at the primary election by Frank T.
Guernsey Of Dover. who resigned his
Fourth district seat in Congress several
years ago to seek the Senatorial nomi-
nation and was defeated. Senator Hale's
supporters declare that ii is useless for
Guernsey to run this year. as they fee
that the Dover asprant is simply get
ting line on his strength, with the idea
OF becoming a candidate against Senator
Bert NJ. Fernald two years hence. En-
Gov. Oakley c. Curtis OF Portland is
most prominently mentioned as Hale's
Democratic opponent.
The only name thus far mentioned in
Democratic circles for a Congressional
nomination is James B. Perkins.

Mayor already a resolution which says
pretty pointedly:
THAT as the National Association OF
the women painters and sculptors OF the
United States we record our protest
that the only valid judgment Of work
OF art is based upon its merits as
work of art. and not upon questions Of
sex, Of womanhood. of manhood, OF the
relative positions OF men and women in
the social or human scale. the franchise.
or any other extraneous and unrelated
questions and that the attempt of the

to usurp tho functions OF the Art Com
mission and to review its findings is
deplorable and deserves the censure of
every clear thinking citizen and this
action of the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment has brought rldicule not
only upon itself but upon the City OF
New York, and Is contrary to the best
public policy"
This resolution went along to the
Mayor yesterday together with n similar
resolution adopted by the League OF

counselors a Frenchman of the phys
