He was twice a delegate to the Democratic National Convention: first in 1924 and then in 1940. He ran for the U.S. Senate three times: in 1924 (against Bert M. Fernald), in 1926 (against Arthur R. Gould), and in 1942 (against Wallace H. White Jr.). He ran for Governor of Maine in 1940 and lost to Republican Sumner Sewall. He was also the publisher of the Portland Evening News.[1]
