ira session today from noon until the
polls close this evening. All told
there were but 200 who appeared be-
fore the board, while the number ex-
pected appropriated 500.
In all probability there will be nu-
merous voters whose names will not
appear on the lists, this being caused
by the fact that new lists were copied
for this primary. Any voter finding
himself in such q position can easily
solve the difficulty by going to the
registration board.
Thus far there has been no little
misunderstanding as to registration
for the primary. The board points out
that it is not necessary for anyone
previously enrolled by party to enroll
for the primary, providing his name is

the past year and half to learn
to what extent I was seeking to

years more.
Respect for law and constituted
authority and definite check to the
crime wave which has been sweep

sought during the past year. There
seems to be most substantial fndi-
cations that Maine is now due for
a healthy growth and that increas-
ing number of our fellow citizens
IN other parts Of the United States
are turning their eyes toward Maine
as the Land of the Rising Sun.

The Republican party has proud
record of moral leadership and con-

company to serve you and engaged in

recreation, agriculture and industry,
and are already on our way in this re-
spect.
We learn from the state department
Of health that our record is the first
in the country for longevity and aver
age length of life.
In a recreation way, whereas T00,-
900 people came to Maine for recrea-
ton year ago, that number increased
to over million last year, and that
the average amount spent by these
visitors was $100-more than $780,
100000. Certainly this industry is not
to be ignored.
Many people from Maine have gone
West with the idea of getting farms
of greater value than we have here.
They have contracted to pay prices
far beyond the real value of the land
Las high as $1,000 an aoce y some
cases. Many of these people are ee-
turning because they have not found a
return commensurate with the high
price of land in tho Middle West.
"They are turning back to New
England in general and Maine in
particular, where good land can be
had at a moderate price. We are
trying TO put purchasers III touch
with sellers and have succeeded in
a marked degree.
Il spent the night two weeks ago,
with a farmer on the kennebec who
had sold 16 plots of his land this
spring, the governing idea being the
beautiful view looking down on the

ask your assistance not only in con-

in a year would it seem too much
to present for your consideration an

the banks of the State according to
their respective holdings?" To big
things you must have the big vision.

been ascertained up to last night,
was damaged beyond repair when 1t
turned over on the Oakland road,
