REED MAKES A SHORTTALK
Says What Maine Says in September
viii be Said Louder in Novemb Der.

Portland, Me, Aug. 2O-The Lincoln
club last night serenaded Thomas B.
Reed, who came in from his summer
residence at Grand Beach Mr.. Reed
spoke briefly. He said:
Maine is an important factor in the
political affairs of the nation this fan
1t has been so since 1S4O and it will
continue. Maine is not like Oregon
1t is not like Vermont, which is stead
fast, nor like Alabama, where a fair
expression of the public mind cannot be
had and where an honest election is moi
even a memory. We speak in the
thick of the fight, and when we speak
the nation hears US. What we saw in
September will be said louder in No
Venber. The nominee of the party is
honest. He has stated where he is and
you know where you are. CAppIause.)
L don't ask you for my part for any
larger majority. I feel satisfied with
any majority you give me- But on
the issue before the country you must
speak, and speak loudly. We are not
fighting losing battle. There is some
thing in bimetaIlisn, but nothing in the
thing now proposed for the comfort,
peace and prosperity of the country. If
ever the country demands good work it
is now. You will give US a good, rous-
ing majority"

BLAMES THE TARIFF.
Senator Sherman Speaks at Night in
Cincinnati and Scores Bryan.

Cincinnati, O., Aug Ex-senator
Sherman addressed a large audience
at the geological gardens last night.
Arrangements had been made for the
address during the hot season when it
would have been pleasant on the hill
tops, but it was too cool last night and
the senator did not speak as long as
usual, while other speakers, Congress-
man BromweII and Solicitor Speigle,
were cut short.
Senator Sherman argued that the
present depression was due to the Cor
nan-Wilson tariff bill which was still
a law, and which not only cut off the
government revenue, but also depress-
ed home industries. He held that pros
porous times existed under the McKin-
ley law and would come again under
Mckinley and a congress in accord
with him, while panic, ruin and dis
tress would follow if the German Will
son tariff law remained in force and
free silver was added to the mistakes
that had been made. He reviewed very
severely the record of Bryan in con-
gress as compared with the congress-
ional record Of Mckinley.

MEASURING
MRS. LEASE.
Measurements of the Well Ad-
Vertised Kansas Woman
As Reported In the New York
"WOrld."
SOMETHING OF HER
Physically as Well as Mentally
and Morally.
Mrs. Lease Has Never Been In
q Theater.
SOMETHING OF HER

The New York World prints the fol-
lowing:
Mary Elizabeth Lease has come out
of Kansas to New York city to raise her
deep, cOntraltO voice for Bryan and
Sewal1.
Mary Elizabeth Lease Is the most ex-
traOrdinary woman in American poIl-
tics. In order to give a. true idea or
what she IS, the Sunday World has had
her measured and examined by Dr-
Louise F'islIe BrysOn. The tape meas
ure witnesses to her bodily per1ect1OnS-
Her character formation is manifested
in her observations to the sunday
World woman reporter who writes TINS
article.
The prevailing idea of Mrs. Lease is
not in accord with what she really Is
Just now the measurements of famous
women are attracting the attention OF
Psychologists Many of these hold that
the new woman" is abnormal, and
the more new and famous she is the
wider is the divergence from the &C
cepted artistic and physiological stand
ard for the construction Of the sexThe
Sunday Worlds Investigations with
Mrs. Lease do not bear this idea out
The woman who can make herself
heard by 10000 people is not physical
degenerate
In order to obtain an absolutely ac-
Curate description and study Of this
woman, the World sent woman pa
biological expert, DR.. Louise F1ske Bry-
son, to measure and study her
1t required some coaxinS to persuade
Mrs. Lease to submit to the tape meas
ure.
DOESN'T WEAR OUT HER CLOTHES
You don't wear out your dresses
observed DR.. BrysOn suddenly as the
woman orator stood. resting one hand
gracefully on a. chair back
Mrs. Lease looked amazed. That's
true, but how did you know it. I've got
more rich old dresses that never seem
to wear out at all. How do you ac-
count for it dOctOr?"
Mrs Lease apparently was just as in
terested in that subject at that mo-
ment as she had been the previous
night in denOuncing all rich men, and
begging the Cooper Union audience to
use the ballot instead of a bayonet.
You are graceful. You use every
muscle in your body. Women who do
that don't wear out dresses as fast as
others"
Mrs. Leases face was overspFead
with a smile of qualification. She final
" submitted to the tape measure. Mrs
Lease is feet and II inches tall
Too tall, am I not? I think So she
asked wistfully. 7 don't want to be
masculine. want to be a good, glor-
iOus woman"
mot at ALL was the doctors decis-
ion.

that Smith in jumping from the NOV

lose them.
