hauled off by the farmers. From the
tank the corn goes into little buckets
on an endless chain and from them it
feeds into the cans, these going to the
retort room The work is simplified
by the use of machinery to such an ex-
tent that no lifting is needed and only
about One-half the crew is required
that would be in the old form of can
ming factories. Where 100 huSkerS
were required in the old factories, four
women do all this work. The husk-
ing machines make the corn of great
deal better quality, doing away with
all the silks. One packer said few
days ago that it would pay factories
to use these machines merely for
cleaning the silks from the corn after
it was husked.
One of the best features in the pro-
cess of canning corn at this new fac
tory is that Mr. Jewett has been able
to secure the best spring water to use
in canning the corn and for all other
uses of water. He has damned
pond fed by numerous springs which
is 40 feet wide by 20 feet long. being 8
feet deep. The factory is as near
fireproof as it can be made. 1t has a
steel roof and the walls are completely
covered with steel. The company

He said that it cannot be denied that
this country had grown great and
prosperous. and that the prosperity has
touched all the people and every line
of industry. and that it has all been ac-
complished under Republican politics.
This could not he possible if the Re-
publican party stood for false and per-
nicious legislation in the interests OF
the trusts. The Republican party rep
resents a policy of government that it
has stood by ever since it's conception.
It is today the same old party of Lin
coin. lon the other hand the Democra
tic party has changed its policy with
every campaign. adopting every kind of
an ism. for the sole purpose, apparently

cans held very successful and enthu-
siastic rally at which Hon. Sumner F.
ills and Cyrus y. Blanchard address,
ed the voters on State and national
issues.
The attendance. 75, was large for
this small community and the ,enthu-
siasm shown indicates an increase in
the Republican vote.
Mr.. Mills exposition of national is
sues was forcible and easy to under
stand and Mr. Blanchards refutation
of Democratic charges of Republican
extravagance was logical and emphat-
ic. giving intense satisfaction to the
audience.
Voters of Brittons Mills will help
roll up an increased plurality for GOV.
Fernald who is very popular in this
section.

careful canvass of all of the towns
shows that there is no waverinE in the
Republican ranks. Early in the CAM
paign the report was circulated that
the Democrats were to make a supreme
effort to bring out Il big vote in this
county. This served to stimulate the
Republicans and they have perfected
their organization so that every Repuh-
lican will he on hand to vote.
Democrats have circulated the
rumor that +, number of Repub-
Hcans are to vote for Mr. Plais-
tea. nut tnpGp Is bptltHS W bo"S
such story upon. There possibly may
he a few Republicans who will change
their votes. but that happens in every
campaign. and the loss is more than
made up by Democrats who also
change their politics. This year tne
farmers who voted for Mr.. Gardner
will cast their votes for Gov. Fernald.
1t is estimated that in 1908 2GO or 800
Repuhlican Changers voted for Mr..
Gardner out of compliment to him.
This year they will return to their own
party.
The farmers of this county have no
fault to find with the administration OF
the State business by the Republican
administration and they have pros
pered under the protective tariff and do
not intend to turn ever national affairs
