.FARRINGTON'S'HAT
VERY EVIDENTLY
STILL IN THE RING

An editorial! appearing in tho Ban
gor Commercial Of a recent date.
concerning the candidacy Of Hon. AL
bert r. Day. mayor Of Bangor for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor and stating that Hon. Frank
G. harrington of Augusta whose
name has been repeatedly mentioned
as a possible candidate, is not now
believed to be intending to enter the
contest, was called to Mr.. Earring
toms attention by a representative of
the Kennebec Journal, Tuesday and
Mr.. harrington was asked If he
| cared to make any statement or COM
ment at the present time.
Mr.. harrington declared that he
had absolutely nothing to say on the
| matter, other than that he had not
abandoned the intention Of being a
candidate in the June primaries. Mr..
harrington gave his permission to be
| quoted in saying, Il will not state at
this time that l will not be candi-
| date"
The editorial in the Bangor paper
suggesting that it Is by no means i'm
possible that the G. o. P. nominal
ton will go to the Bangor mayor
without opposition is as follows:
"The candidacy Of Hon. Albert r.
Day, mayor of Bangor, for the Re-
publican nomination for governor, is
gaining strength every day and the
| suggestion Is now being frequently
made in political circles that it Is by
no means impossible that the G. o. P.
primary nomination will go to His
Honor without opposition.
1T Is pointd out that Mr.. Day,
whose candidacy has been before the
| people for some months has secured
a great start over possible COMPETE
tors. Here in the eastern section of
the State. the counties Of Aroostook,
Washington, Hancock. Piscataqus
| and Penobscot are strongly in line, so
far as Republicans are concerned, for
the nomination Of Mr.. Day. And the
strength Of Bangor's mayor Is by no
means confined to the eastern portion
of the State. He has excellent back
ing in Somerset, Kennebec, Oxford,
Androscoggin, Knox and Cumberland
and in fact many supporters in every
county in Maine.
Hon. Frank harrington of Angus
ia, Hon. Wallace White of Lewiston
and Hon. Frank Holley of North An
son, whose names have been re-
peatedly mentioned as possible can
didates, are not now believed to be
lHteHulTS 10 eHter Tue contest. Inc
attitude of Governor Baxter as re-
CARDS the primaries is very likely
known to the Governor himself, but
| the very general and Statewide sup
| port that is coming to Mayor Day is
an assurance that Maine Republicans
do not look kindly upon the idea of a
| third term.
with the exception of second term
nominations the Republican nominal
| ton for Governor has not been OBJ
tanned without contest since the
| first nomination of Hon. John F. Hill
| in 1907
