lishod elsewhere indicates that this

One eff the attractions will be the
hose races. II is hoped that the rival
teams, the Orioles, of Bar Harhor, the
Eagles OF orono. and the senators, of
Ellsworth. will participate in the
racos, together with the nirigos. of
Ellsworth, and several other teams
from different parts of the state,
II IL learned with regret that the
Bar Harbor team contemplates refus-
ing tho invitation to participate in the
race, \ mistaken impression prevails
in Bar uarhor that Ellsworth holds an

accord them fair treatment. TIE

insignificant as was the part played
by Mr.. Bryan in the two Congresses
in which he served, il was sufficient to
stamp him MS being untitled for the
presidency of the United States.
Progressive Americans have to a man
been in favor of the building and
maintenance of navy sufficiently
strong to command the respect of
foreign nations, and the events OF the
last few Years have fully justified the
correctness and patriotism of that pc
sitiou. There have been several times
when the strength of our navy has
been a factor the principal factor
many believe = in preventing war.
MIR. Bryan proved his unprosressive-
ness when he WAS in the House. and
when our navy was more than TWEEN
tytiVe vessels weaker than it is to-
day, by opposing the strengthening of
our navy, on the ground that il WAS
then strong enough. Il is such things
as these, and not platitudinous
speeches delivered in souorous tones
and with dramatic gestures, which
demonstrate the calibye of man.
