 the democratic party's stand for all true reforms, and pleaded for the suffrage of the voters in behalf of those who endorsed them and to whom this country must look for relief from the ills that bear heavily upon them.
 And the voice of an unshackled electorate will be heard on Nov. B." The Democratic Candidates at Maine
 and Saginaw Camps
 Tuesday morning No. 1 bore the Democratic candidates to Maine, and 1t was a lively bunch that was greeted by @ committee con- sisting of Msssrs. Harrison Con rard, Charles Swsetwood. w. K. Ross, and others.
 The train arrived about noon, and they proceeded to dine at shs Dennis Lumber Company camp. where all the candidates were in- treducsd to those present. The time was comfortably spent until the whistle summoned the men to work. whsrsupon the candidates repaired to the local school house to pay their respects to the teacher and pupils of the Mrine school, which is taught by Miss Lenore Francis, the accomplished young daughter of Sheriff John w Francis. This is Miss Francis first year as a teacher, but judging from all that is said by both patron, and pupils. she like her father, is . wonder in every sense of the word. Through the courtesies of Chas. Sweetwood, three seated rig was provided and the candidates pro ceeded to Saginaw camps 1 and 2, and 8. Reaching camp 2 about 6 o'clock. supper was served. after which an enthusiastic meeting was held which was addressed by all the candidates present. MT. Dan German, foreman of Camp 9, with Archie Grove, the eempany's tim. Der sealer, and August Lindstrom, general manager of the camps, did all in their power to make the meeting a success.
 The next morning they proceeded via the Saginaw Northern upon an excursion personally conducted by Harry Schlee, Aug. Lindstrom, and Jack Witherow. Reaching Camp 3. about ' o'clock. the crowd was permitted to witness an exhi. bition of hustling upon the part of the loading crew. By nias o'clock IA cars had been loaded and were ready to be transported to Belle mont. This certainly is going some and was an inspiration to all ob servers serving to remind them to get busy. The forenoon was spent in the woods with the differen, crews engaged in "skidding" and cutting the timber, and it was hungry bunch that assembled in the dining room for dinner.
 In the evening the candidates were given an ovation at Camp B. Foreman Charles Lindstrom, the member of the Democratic Central committee for Bellemont, met them with open arms and arranged . monster meeting for that night The men from both camps 2 and 8 began to congregate at 7:30 and at the opening of the meeting the large room was crowded to it's full lest capacity. The meeting was called te order by Foreman Chas. Lindstrom, who in few we'll timed remarks, stated the object of the meeting and introduced Hon. L. s. Williams candidate for the assem- bly,. Mir. Williams. who made @ most successful campaign two ysars ago. was no stranger to the ma or ity of the voters present, and was enthusiastically received. Mr Willia ms. with parliamentary grace, presided over the meeting, and expressed sincere regrets over the absence of Messrs. Thos. A. Flynn, candidate for district at torney, Jesse L. Borcs, candidate for recorder, and J. E. Jones, can didats for school superintendent, all of whom were detained because of business. With . few prelimi- nary remarks MT. Williams intro duced each of the candidates, dwsl- ling upon their qualification for their respective office. He called first upon MT. George Hoshdosffer, the nominee for the council. MT. Hochdoeffer responded in c few we'll chosen remarks, and judging from the reception he received at the hands of the lumber jacks, he is no stranger among them.
