Gov. FeFnaId and Cong. DENLY Of Michigan Address
Great Audience--Th Governor Gives Maine
Voters New Facts and Figures TO Ponder
0Ver--Mf. DENLY Defends Tariff Law.

Portland, Me-. Aug. 22.-The Repub
lcan State campaign opened in this
eity this evening when Governor Fer
maid and Congressman Edwin DENLY
Of Michigan addressed large audi
ence at the Auditorium There was a
parade of Republican clubs and re-
eeption preceding the speaking. Gov
ernor Fernald was given most fiat
tering reception. He discussed State
issues entirely and defended his ad-
ministration against the charges of ex-
travagance made by the Democracy.
Congressman DENLY devoted the great
er part of his speech to the Payne tar
IN law, saying that while there may be
errors in it, they are trifiing compared
to the benefit which it confers upon the
working men and consumers of all
classes in the United States. Referring
to the insurgents in Congress he said:
1T is madness to say that the great
majority of the chosen representatives
Of the dominant party in Congress de-
lberately and wilfully stand guard
over known abuses. while a mere frac-
ton of their number alone are DESTROYS
to care for the American people.
Il insist" he said, that in the future
as in the past each measure proposed
In Congress shall be judged on it's mer-
Its alone and not on the degree of al
legged regularity or insurgency of its
sponsor"
Governor Fernald in opening declared
that he came with no apology and with
no spirit of self competency. He was
there to claim that the Republicans OF
Maine. united end purposeful, should
again merit the suffrage of the people;
that it's opponent contemplated acts in
defiance of Names welfare which could
In no way command the support of the
independent voter.
Passing quickly over matters such as
the redistricting of the State, election
of United States senator and contin-
ulng the personnel Of the supreme
court, he got to the issue of State fl
nances and, while this was not handled
to the full extent that he had discussed
Il in previous speeches, he presented
certain new phases.
| am not, said he, going to review in
Completeness all that said in Augusta
/ on June 30 am simply going to reit-
crate, what l said that day concerning
State expenditures. I said and it has
been misquoted and wilfully misipter-

26th TO Goth. and the United States
Land and Irrigation Exposition at
Chicago in November. and the splen.
did opportunities these expositions
offer for advertising the resources
of the valley. Reports from the var.
ous towns indicate that splendid ex.
hibits will be shown at Pueblo and
also at Chicago.
The association has reserved 500
square feet at the Chicago eSposi.
tion for an Arkansas Valley exhibit.
A pleasing feature OF the conference
was the unanimous and unselfish de
sire OF the delegates to advertise the
valley as a whole instead OF special
sections and to that end have the
exhibits at Chicago labeled Arkansas
Valley instead of by various local
names.
The Denver & Rio Grandc and the
Santa Fe railroads are cooperating
with the association In boosting the
valley. and the Santa fe railroad has
submitted proposition to the associ.
alton. offering to duplicate every dol.
lar the association would raise for
the purpose OF advertising.

MADE CONVICTS BY

Downfall of Three Brothers of
Respectable Parentage At
tributed to Drug Habit

OAKLAND, June 29-Although jury
brought in verdict against him today,
Bert Hodges congratulated himself af-
ter it was all over that he had been
found guilty of nothing worse than
burglary in the second degree. Having
served in the penitentiary before. he
must be given the maximum penalty.
The doubt that existed in the jurors
minds as to whether the crime had been
committed in the day time or the night
saved him the 10 years difference be-
tween the maximum penalty of FIVE
years for the second degree and Is
years for the first degree of burglary.
Hodges will join his brother at San
Quentin. The latter, who is the young
est of a trio of criminals that come of a
respectable family, was given a one year
sentence, as the burglary he committed
with Bert Hodges was his first offense.
Together the pair stole cases of candles
from a Standard oil warehouse. Still
another brother is serving a sentence
in the Arizona penitentiary and has a
long criminal career.
According to Probation Officer Ruess
the use of morphine has made all the
sons of this family criminal. Bert
Hodges tried to hang. himself in the
city prison because he could get no
morphine A confession which he made
to detectives was successfully attacked
during the trial on the ground that 1t
had been made while he was temporar-
lily out of his mind from the lack of the
drug.
