Il lshhuE AMI
OF REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLICAN,
BARTLETT WINS THE SENATOR con
TEST.
If the convention that assembled a
the court house last Friday indicate
ANYTHING it indicates that the Republl
cans of Oxford County are awake an
interested in the outcome of the cleo
lions this fall.
1t was a large and representative bod
of men that left their several occupa
tons to assist in nominating count.
ticket and their interest in affairs politi
cal means something.
1t means that the Republican banne
in state and nation will be carried t.
victory.
The scenes of the night preceding TIT
convention were not as lively as usual
owing perhaps to the fact that few con
tests were on the docket and also tina
many of the delegates had just returned
from that strenuous Bangor convention
and were glad to get night of rest.
At 1910 Friday forenoon IL. IL. Hast
ings, Esq, of Bethel, chairmen of the
Republican County Committee, called
the convention to order and called upon
Rev. J. II. Little, pastor of the South
Paris Universalist church to offer prayer
In the absence of Arthur Z. Forbes OF
Paris, secretary of the county committee,
DIR. ii. l.. Bartlett of Norway read the
call for the convention.
The temporary organization after
ward made permanent, was made by the
election of Aretas f. Stearns, ESQ.,, OF
Rumford Falls, as chairman and DIR. IL.
l.. Bartlett of Norway and I. l.. East
man, Esq, of Fryeburg, as secretaries,
In taking the chair Mr.. Stearns made
an eloquent and able address, reviewing
to some extent the glorious record of the
Republican party, and referring to the
credit due the State of Maine and the
County of Oxford. The speaker said
Oxford County should take pride in the
fact that she is the banner county in
Maine in the observance and enforce
ment of the prohibitory law. That she
takes pride in the record of the public
men she has given to the state and
nation and declared that the material is
now as good as in the past. He paid a
glowing tribute to the Republican policy
of protection which has brought to the
nation unparalleled prosperity. Tariff
schedules, he said, cannot be made for
all time; they must conform to prevail
ing conditions and tariff revision when
necessary, may safely be left in the
hands of the party of protection.
While we sorrow at the death of the
lamented Mckinley, we find in his
dauntless successor man amply able to
carry forward the great and growing
interests of the Republic. BY his de-
cisive action he has secured the Panama
canal, thus doubling the efficiency OF our
navy as well as strengthening our COM
merce.
The speaker touched upon the cur
rency question calling attention to the
TACT that to the Republican party belongs
he credit of establishing sound and
stable currency.
On every hand and in every phase of
is national existence the Republican
party has been found standing for the
lights and best interests of the whole
people. The history of the nation for
he past fifty years is the history of this
party and this fall we go
'orth to victory under that invincible
eader, Theodore Roosevelt.
