Saturday evening, June 2S, E. L..
Linscott, superintendent of the Blue
hill, Brooklin and Sedgwick school
union. rendered his resignation. To
the people of the union, the resigna-
ton comes as an unpleasant sur
prise. During his six years of SER
vice, the pleasing personality of Mr..
and Mrs. Linscott has won for them
many warm friends, both socially
and professionally. Under Mr.. Lin
scott's administration, many changes
have been instituted in the public
schools. AS an organizer, a diplo-
mat and gentleman, his loss will be
felt throughout the three communi-
ties Wherever Mr.. and Mrs. Lin
scott go, they will be attended by the
best wishes of their friends in this
union.

The democratic national conven-
ton. after two strenuous days of bal
lotting for a nominee for President,
seems as far away from a choice as
ever, and with acrimonious state
ments from the rival camps through
the newspapers or from the floor, bit
terness is developing rapidly and the
breaches between the factions wild
ening daily. 1t is not smooth sail
ing for the democrats. McAdoo and
Smith seem to be in a hopeless dead
lock as leaders in the race. Under
the two-thirds rule, 1872 votes are
necessary for nomination. McAdoo
reached the high water mark yester-
day at 474, with Smith touching 1928.

of these two can win The chance of

with Mr. Redman, the democratic
candidate, and his suggestion of it in
a letter to Senator Fernald was
promptly accepted. 1t is hoped that
one of these meetings will he held in
Ellsworth, Mr.. Redman argues that
democrats go to democratic meetings,
and republicans to republican meet
ings, and each hears only one side OF
the question He believes that the
presentation of both sides of the is
sues from the same platform will re-
suit in a better-informed electorate

THE CITY CLOCK FUND.
Balance Turned Over to City as
Permanent Clock Fund.

The balance of $93.60 remaining
in the city clock fund, after all bills
have been paid, has been turned over
by The American to the city of Ellis
worth, as a permanent clock fund.
This, with accumulations by subscrip-
ton and interest, may be used for the
purchase of another public clock to
be located at any central place in the
city, or for the replacement of the
new clock just placed in the Congre-
gational church. Though the fund is
small now, it is estimated that inter-
est accommodations alone would make
it sufficient to. purchase a new clock
by the time the one recently bought
is worn out by service.
The new clock has been insured
for 1000, so that in case of its
destruction by fire or lightning, the
insurance would take care of replace
ment. Following is final statement
of the clock fund:
Receipts.
From subscriptions, $1,294.50
Interest on deposit, 9.96
