RALLY At JEFFERSON.
Lincoln County Republicans Are Ac-
tive and Enthusiastic.

Jefferson, Me, Sept. 3-(SpeciaD.-
scene this evening of largely at
tended and enthusiastic Republican
rally. The presiding officer was the
chairman OF the town committee, W.
B. Tibbetts. and the speakers were
John Kendrick Bangs of New York
and John Clair Minot of Augusta.
Mr.. Bangs sustained his reputation
as a famous humorist by his recital
of his personal experiences in politics
and his clever portrayal of the
vagaries of Organism and the futile
struggle of the Democracy to find a
winning issue. In more serious vein
he discussed the great national issues
in an able manner and was particularly
eloquent in his tribute to Mr. Taft.
Mr.. Minot dwelt in opening upon the
State issues, comparing the records
and policies OF the too parties. His
refutal of the Democratic charges of
State extravaganza was emphasized
by illustrations showing the dealings
of this particular town with the State
treasury. The candidates. of Mr..
Fernald and Mr. Gardner were dis
cussed, and the men and the interests
behind the latter were touched upon.
Going to the great national issues Mr..
Minot dwelt upon the continued
menace of Organism and then dis
cussed the tariff. particularly in its
bearing upon Maine farms and
factories. The closing part of his
speech was a comparison of the two
parties for the past half hundred
years.
Both speakers were listened to with
the closest interest and frequently ap-
p,auded. The Republicans of Jeffer-
son have been in a minority in recent
years. but they are wide awake in this
campaign and will give a good ac-
count of themselves on election day.

De NEDREY READY
FOR POLITICIANS
Planned to Turn Tables on
His Opponents Who Laid
Deep Scheme.

The politicians of Central Labor
Union framed up coup to defeat two
OF the officers for reelection at the an
nuaI election held last Monday night.
1t had for its object the defeat Of Vice
President J. L. Rodier. who. as dele
gate to the American Federation OF
Labor at Norfolk, for some sin of Omis-
sion or commission at the big cOnven-
ton, won, the enmity Of the building
trades section; and the turning down
of Samuel DeNedrey, secretary, for his
aggressive policy and outspoken utter
ances in opposition to the politicians.
The first part OF the program in che
defeat Of Vice President ROdier was a
successful feature Of the election, but
for some reason the determination to
null peNedrey down was not attempted.
The plan had a unique feature in it,
which has Just become known, 1t was
the purpose Of the politicians OF Central
Labor Union 10 wait until DeNedrey
was Nominated for secretary. The
schemers, it is said, had laiG their plans
Il get DeNedrey out of the way by
+ following his nomination up by the
nomination Of q coIOred delegate Of the
Hod Carriers Union, five of whom sit
p in the central body.
1t was reasoned out that DeNedrey
would take this nomination as a per
sonal reflection on his work as secre-
; tary and upon himself personally, and
would come out in a hot denunCiatton
D OF the opposition that would drive votes
from him and increase the chances OF
The opposition gathering strength, ami
assure his defeat on A close ballot.
However. the strategists, in matters
polite had reck0ned without their host
or tho sagacity of their opponent-for
/ DeNedrev had heard OF the plan, ard
planned a counter thrust
De Nedrey intended as soon as the
colOred delegate was nominated Tor his
successor to calmly get up and IN an
eloquent effort second the nomination
Of the cOlOred delegate, withdraw as a
candidate for the Office, and move that
the nominations be closed and that the
secretary be instructed 10 cast the unan-
irnOus ballot Of Central Labor Union for
the coIored candidate, which would have
meant his election.
The move of DeNedry would have
made Il impossible for the opposition
10 do anything but accept the situation
and see the cOIored delegate elected
secretary. But IL did not happen.

to punish his wife, who had never had

HIGH PRICE OF COAL
FORCES SHIPS TO QUIT

LONDON, Jan. IA serious crisis in
the shipping trade has been broU ght
about by the high price OF coal.
The shipOwners of Liverpool. Glasgow
London. Cardiff, Grimsby, and other
ports agreed 10 lay up a percentage Of
their steamships because the high price
Of coal makes 1t impossible for them TO
run the boats. except at a loss. 1t Is
said that a large humber of vessels Will
be laid up and their cargoes transferred
10 other ships. which are now sailing
only partly full: This means, of course.
that thousands OF men win be thrown
out OF employment.
From all parts Of the country come
stories OF manufacturing industries
crippled or forced to suspend on account
Of the price Of coal. Sheffield Is suffer
ing aeutely and Scotland Is also feeling
the pinch.
In view Of these facts. it is interesting
to note that the exports Of coal this
year-the first since the removal of the
coal export tax By the present govern
ment-have increased by 100000 tons,
Germany alone taking 100000 tons more
than in 1905.
