from the Bible:

people able men: such as fear God
men of truth hating covetOusness.
Ladies and gentlemen: Such is the
great leader that we have with us to-
day. Nature gave him poise judicial
temperament gave force of character
tenacity of purpose.
His long life in the public service
is distinguished for it's marked ability
it's wisdom, is integrity, its patriotism
He has taken advantageous ground
upon the great ssues that engage the
profoundest thought of the people of
this great country. From a somewhat
intimate acquaintance with him for 90
years, | say today that he is progress
sive in principle. He is equipped most
wonderfully by experience. The
speaker told of Mr.. Taft's public ser
vices. adding:

and complex demanded the greatest

leather wallet. They also found a
leather suit case in which was a quart
and a pint of whiskey.
Cote claimed that he had purchased
the goods at Rumford Falls and that
he had been following the fairs for
several weeks. Chief Colby brought
the goods to Brunswick and telephon-
ed description of them to the Rum
ford Falls officials. Later word came
back to arrest Cote. as it was thought
