formed the offices of his position IN
an able manner.
The first speaker was Mr.. Emerson,
who confined himself almost entirely
ito state issues. He touched on the
prevalency of the opposition to Can

element would be eliminated from Re-
publican politi IS before Names elec-

tribute to the sincerity and high
moral character of Governor Fernald.
He complimented him on his fearless
ness in carrying out the promises he
made to the people of Maine in his last
campaign and said that Governor Fer
nald's administration had been both
economical and prudent. The grand
campaign now being waged by Gov
ernor Fernald for detection was the
next topic of which the speaker touch
ed upon and his witty remarks and in
imitahle rumor brought roars of APP
plause from the audience.
Mr. Emerson brought home to the
voters the necessity of thinking for
themselves and not being turned
around by mendacity of Democratic
spellbinders. He predicted rousing
Republican victory next Monday and
urged the vothers of Winthrop to do
their part and share the honor of
clean Republican administration.
During his speech the audience was
most attentive and as he scored point
after point in favor of the party the
enthusiasm increased. He gave his
auditors something to think about dur
they will undoubtedly roll up the us
ual majority, characteristic of Win
throp.
Mr. Emerson was followed by Hon
Oscar .. Fellows of Bangor. who re-
futed the groundless charges of the
Democratic leaders that extravaganza
existed in the administration of affairs
Of the State. He pointed out to the
audience that the taking over the in
sane poor and of the hospitals for
crirples, especially the Children's Hos
pi:al in Portland. was an increased
expenditure and that the people asked
for it.
He was roundlyf cheered at the con-
clusiOn of his speech and the town
