bearing a picture of Thomas Bracket
Reed and bearing the words "Reed Club
of Maine" Reed buttons and Reed
badges were on every coat, from the
Governors down to that of the Wagner
porters. The st. Johnsbury band played
during the time that the train stopped
and the crowd yelled themselves hoarse
for Reed. The st. Johnsbury people
found their friends in the Maine delega-
ton and in the party Of 6S were Gov.
Cleaves, ex-Gov. Burleigh, Attorney
General Littlefeld and the republican
candidate for governor, Llewel]yr
Powers. The Maine men scattered Reed
buttons through the crowd and led thu
