ships Of Searsport were the finest
which sailed the seas of the world.
They recalled to me the names of men
who had been famous as commanders
of those craft and it pleased me not
little to hear them say your own fell
lew citizen, Senator Colcord, had been
among those numbers. 1t explained to
me many things which I had not, per-
haps, 50 well understood in the past.
When they said to me that the Sena-
tor had trod the quarter deck of a
ship; had sailed it to all quarters of
the globe. it was not difficult to know
why he had the backbone that makes
the able legislator he has proven him
self in the past two sessions of our
State legislature. A man who has
been a sea captain must have that
quality to be successful

Capt. Cocord was never found want

He had the courage of his convictions
and he voted, always. for what he be-
lieved to be the best interests of his
constituents. He was an honor to his
county and his town and | hope, and

of Waldo county will return him to the
upper branch of the legislature this

The Governor said that the voters
of Searsport had heard great deal
this year of extravaganza. They had
read it in the Democratic newspapers
and heard their orators proclaim it
on the stump. He wondered If these
voters had ever stopped to consider
of what these extravagances consist
IF they had he did not think they
would be troubled to any great extent
by them.

Roosevelt Laugh
At the Episode.

Oyster Bay, n. Y. Aug. 17-Theo-
lore Roosevelt may stay out of politics
in New York state during the coming
campaign as n result of the action of
the Republican state committee yes
terGay in refusing to recommend him
as temporary chairman of the state
convention.
Mr.. Roosevelt laughed today as he
talked of yesterdays meeting and said
the result gave him genuine pleasure.
He explained his attitude by saying
that he felt the committee had relieved
him of all responsibility in connection
with the conduct and result of the
campaign.
He added that he had not decided
whether he would attend the conven-
ton. He would talk things over with
Rep. w. w. Cocks and other political
leaders of his home district. he said.
before deciding: and he is inclined to
the belief that it would be better to
stay away and let the "Old Guard"
carry on the fight by itself.

get back more than $500. more than
what you have paid out Is that the
sort of extravaganza which injuries
your town.
The Governor then declared that the
Republican party in it's State conven-
ton in Bangor in 1908. had. promised
increased appropriations for good
roads, a 5S-hour labor law, better
equalization of taxes, a step towards
the conservation of the natural re-
sources of the State. Each and every
one of these had been kept The S.
hour law was enacted. 1t didn't mean
so much, perhaps, to the people of
Searsport. but in the mill places. such
as Waterville. Augusta, Biddeford and
Saco and Lewiston the laboring people
appreciated it. art
A comprehensive step had been made
towards water conservation. A law
has been enacted which provides for a
commissio ion to investigate and control
these resources. 1t is doing Its work
in a manner which will benefit the
| State for all time.
! He called attention to the fact that
owing to the operation of the new
! initiative and referendum amendment
! to the constitution a large increase IN
the states revenue by the new tax law
enacted in 1909 did not become avail
able in that year, but would be this.
| For instance. the railroads would pay
| this year $105 900 more tax to the State
| in 1910 than they did In 1903. the
| Governor then discussed the disburse-
ment of the money received from these
sources. pointing out that of the en-
tire amount received in. State tax upon
property and the railroad and other
corporation taxes but small portion
went for the maintenance of the state
while the major part was returned to
the towns and cities for municipal use

Beverly, Mass. Aug. 17.-For nearly
three hours, this afternoon. President
Taft and Vice President Sherman talk
ed over the defeat of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt at the hand of the New York
State Republican Committee yesterday
and the selection of Mr.. Sherman over
Mr.. Roosevelt as temporary chairman
of the Saratoga convention. Mr..
Sherman said he had no intention of
withdrawing in favor of Mr. Roosevelt
and he treated lightly the stories that
there might be fight to repudiate the
action of the state committee in the
convention.
The Vice President also talked with
the President regarding the congress
sional campaign. He wants the fight
to be waged along the old lines.
"A straight out Republican fight on
the Republican platform and the record
of the party. including the tariff" he
put 1t.
At Mr.. Sherman's solicitation. Presi-
dent Taft agreed to point the way
in the campaign by writing a letter
which is to be made a part of the cam
paign text book of the Republican
congressional committee.
While the fight apparently Is to be
directed along the lines of the past. it
can be stated authoritatively that the
feature of the party reorganization
plans, which calls for the retirement
of Speaker Joseph Quincy Cannon will
be strictly adhered to. 1t is even said
that Vice President Sherman. one of
the staunchest supporters the Speaker
ever had, has become reconciled to the
fact that Mr.. Cannon must go.
A statement is being prepared in
quarters close to the administration in
which the attitude recently taken by
Mr. Cannon in public interviews will be
lleplored and in which 1t will be made
plain that there is no thought on the
part of many Of his former supporters
ag,.in to name Mr.. Cannon.

tonight in Union hall. The hall was
packed and many were obliged to stand
up in the rear of the hall and between
the aisles on account of lack of room.
The attendance was particularly note
worthy from the fact that no effort
was made to advertise the rally until
after 7. NJ. Tuesday. 1t also stood
out in marked contrast to the much
smaller attendance at the Plaisted raj
~ held here a short time before.
Judge J. w. Black presided and the
first speaker was Orlando F.. Frost OF
Belfast. Although Mr.. Frost occupied
but five or six minutes he made some
very interesting points. His remarks
were devoted entirely to a reply To the
plea lately made in this town by Col.
Plaistcd for independent voting at the
coming election.
"'This is no time to be independent"
said the speaker Il will defy anyone
to show me where Col. Plasted has
been independent in his voting ''He
has always been subiugated and sub
dued by the Democratic ring. When
Bryan was hanging onto the Democra-
tic party Col. Plaisted was not indie
pendent enough to vote for the other
candidate. Instead he voted for Bryan,

Frost in conclusion remarked that he
thought that it would be wise for a
man to have shown lis own ihdept-nd.s
encc before advocating an independent
course in politics to others.
The Searsport Band discoursed fin
music before the rally and between
the speeches. Governor Fernald held a
reception at the close of the rally and
was greeted with great enthusiasm by
people from the entire section of which

him of their hearty support and gave
