TOO LATE FOR WHITE
TO ENTER GOVERNOR
RACE, VIEW IN OXFORD

Portland, Jan. 3-Senator Frederic
o. Eaton of Rumford laughed when
he was told Thursday morning that
he had been nominated as q candi-
date for Congress.
ut has never been suggested to
me-" said the senator. land if it was
to be, it is proposition that is
wholly beyond the realms of posi-
bility. If anyone has nominated me.
OF course, l appreciate the ,compli-
ment.
Il hope" continued the senator,
that Representative White will re-
main in Congress and there will be
no occasion for us to hunt up a can
didate in oxford county for the pres
ent. But If ever there is a vacancy,
ii is my opinion that the candidate
for this county will be Hon. Aretas
+. Stearns of Rumford. the present
judge of probate. Mr.. Stearns is
now completing his fourth year as
probate judge and will retire at the
end of his term.
IF Mr.. White retires. as I hope he
will not. we will all be for StearnS
for Congress up here"
'What do they think in Oxford
county of Representative White be-
coming a candidate for the guberna-
torial nomination." the senator was
asked.
Our opinion here is that his time
has gone" was the senator's reply.
Had he declared himself q candidate
when the governor announced that
he would not seek n third term, he
would have had the support of a ma
jority of Republicans in Oxford
county.
t'But we took him at his word when
he stated that he would not be a can
diliate, and we now regard it as final.
AZ q matter of fact, we are now all
signing Harrington petitions here"
- Senator Eaton is candidate for
member Of the Executive Council
which goes to oxford county next
year and is having no opposition.
Charles Il. Carter, of Lewiston.
Representative Whites law partner,
is in Washington to discuss the gu
bernatorial situation with Mr.. White,
but nothind had been heard from him
in Lewiston yesterday. Several prom
inent Republicans of Lewiston and
Auburn wired the congressman yes
terday advising him not to get into
the fight for the governorship now.
and expressing the belief that he
could not be nominated.
In Lewiston. it is believed that the
matter is already settled and that Mr..
White will not be a candidate for
governor
