We open the campaign here in this dis
trCt tonight No better Place could te

siye, progrt ssiyc and ititesmanlikc. All
that is best in the republican party in
American public lie is fmong American
puDlic men. He makes his mistakes of
course. he is human, nobody is perfect

But our leader has driven strai Sht to tie

who has done things; of course men who
never do things can do them better than

back $50, be does not come back to yoG
yet; he stays at H. post of duty, the more

by his presence, Very great applause |
And say to YOU, the people OF the frst
district of Maine, thst if you honor brains,
courage and talent, you will say 30 on the
9th day of September, and more rests up
on YOU for giving ThomBs u. Reed the en-
dorstment be deserves, than in any election
that has come tl you before. (Aprlsase
