REPUBLICAN RALLY,
ABLE Addresses Made by Messrs.

addresses of the speak being listene,
to with the closest attention. Georg,
w. Goulding presided over the meeting
and after a few impromptu remarks in
trodured as the first speaker. Hon. Will
liam II. HaineS Of Waterville.
Mr.. HaineS first spoke of his pleas
ure OF having the honor of addressing
the meeting and paid Il tribute to the
people and industries Of Oakland He
briefly traced the campaign and it's is
sues and in discussing state issues said
that this campaign should be fought
out on those issues which pertain to the
prosperity and industries of Maine"
The speaker then took up a discus
sion of the points Of attack made by
the opposing party touching upon the
ton: the State tax; fec system and
pr"li'b't"ry law. In closing the speaker
touched upon the Presidential canii-
dates paying tribut to Mr.. Roosevelt
which was received with applause.
bert Clark. president of the Home Mar
kot Club of Boston. Mr.. Clark's re-
marks We're confined chiefly to tariff
and trusts. He first said that while
coming here he was attracted by the
thrifty appearance of the farms and
homes Of the people of Maine. adding
that this thrift was due to enterprise
and good government. He gave Il brief
review Of the two opposite kinds of
tariff and said the country had pros
pered and tariff should be revised only
when business needed it.
The speaker stated that tariff was
needed for two purposes. internal i'm
provement and that foreign countries
would put duties on their goods unless
We had a home tariff He Furthermore
said there is no other way to protect
the home industries except by protec-
tive tariff. which does not shut out for
eign completion. but simply equalizeS
foreign and home trade.
The speaker quoted Thomas Il. Reed
who said it was just as necessary to
protect established industries as infant
ones
In speaking of the Democratic party
Mr.. Clark said he had hoped to see the
time when it would he reputable, but
WAS afraid he was too old. He closed
his remarks by using Mckinley's
words: There are always perils and
always duties" and he thought it the
duty OF every honest vote- of Maine to
cast their vote for Governor as the
gugernatorial election would effect the
Presidential
