SENATOR FRYE
SENDS REPUBLICAN ENTHUSI-
Assn UP TO THE TOP NOTCH.
THE ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN PRE-
SCENTED CLEARLY AND FORCIBLY
OTHER RALLIES.

Senator Frye addressed a meeting which
taxed the capacity of Hancock hall Mon
day evening. His mastery presentation
of the issues of the present campaign
sent repu blican enthusiasm to the tip
notch. Senator Frye talked an hour and
a half, yet SO closely did he have the at
tention and interest of his audience, that
men scarcely believed their watches.
Hancock hail was filed long before the
hour for he meeting arrived, and when
the Ellsworth Falls brass band, which
had been playing in front OF the republic
can headquarters, took its place in the
hail there was standing room only.
When Senator Frye entered the hall, he
received hearty welcome of applause,
and his entrance upon the stage a few
minutes later was tue signal for another
outburst. A number OF prominent re-
publicans had seats upon the stage.
The meeting was opened by &. H.
Drummey, chairman of the city COM
mittee, who introduced John A. Peters,
as the presiding officer OF the evening.
Mr.. Peters, Introduction OF Senator Frye
was brief but to the point.
Senator Frye, In opening, said it seemed
curious to him that Ellsworth, republi-
can city, should just now have a demo-
cratic mayor, ana advised the repu biica rs
TO elect their candidate for representative
and prove to the rest Of Maine that Els
worth was stiii a repuh lican city.
Senator Frye's speech was comprehen-
sive review OF the republican policy OF
protection to American industries, and
then OF finding market for the enor
nous put Of the American factory and
farm. In the latter connection he showed
the Importance Of the Philippine islands
commercially, lying as they do "rigbt at
The door OF the Orient, where the great
powers are now battling for commercial
supremacy.
In a haif-conversational style which
seemed directed to each one in the audi
ence individually, he presented the issues
clearly and forcibly, and backed up his
statements by figures that were I'M
assaiiable. The realization that here was
man who spoke hot from campa ign
literature bat from personal knowledge,
carried conviction with it. The speaker
MAS frequently interrupted by applause.
