there was large number present. T..
j. Millay called the meeting to order
and invited several citizens to the
platform. Hon. w. r. SHELTON was the
first speaker He made a careful analy-
sis OF the fiscal policy of the Repub-
lican administration. He showed that
the increase of taxes was for the pur-
pose Of reaching the wild lands which
was not carrying their share of the
burden of taxation. There could be no
class taxation so the rate of taxation
must be raised throughout the State.
This was done and the surplus was
distributed to the towns The speaker
showed how Bowdoinham had bene-
fit ed by this Redistribution. Bowdoin-
ham paid into the state treasur!
$17O77S and there was returned to the
town: For common schools. s1285; High
school, S375; state road, 1888; burial o:
veterans, $40: state aid. 1886. Bowdoin-
ham received back from the treasury
23la per cent. of what she paid into the
treasury.
Mr. SHELTON Is a strong, convincing
speaker. the kind to make a sure win
ner
Hon. John P. Swasey spoke on ma
tional questions and made an unaual-
flied endorsement of Governor Fer
maids administration. Mr.. Swasey as
a speaker is vigorous. positive and en-
thusiastic and held the attention Of the
audience to the last word.

Roosevelt smiled broadly but made no
reply.
Fully 5000 people greeted Col Ro"se-

spoke briefly. chiefly along the lines OF
the EARLIER speech he made at Buffalo

He was met at Dunkirk by a recep-

Congressman Arthur l.. Bates. Frank

Touches on Columbus Strike and !:
Cheered by tho Crowd.

Toledo, Ohio, Aug. 25.-Transferrina
of mails delayed the fast mail train OF
the Lake Shore here 80 minutes this
afternoon and gave Colonel Roosevelt
more time than had been anticipated to
address the great crowd which had
assembled at the Union station to see
and hear him. He referred again to
conditions relative to the street car
strike at Columbus. Ohio. He said:
We do not allow individuals to fight
out their own differences, the govern
ment settles these differences for them
Neither can we allow big corporations
to fight out their difference with en-
ployes of disorder results. We cannot
allow mob rule"
The crowd cheered.
I'VE must find out if the corporation
acted fairly by it's employees and the
public. The corporation has duty to
the community and the public should
see that the local and city authorities
take action to prevent injustice"
Again he was interrupted by cheers
A workman at the rear of the train
called out above the tumult:
Teddy how about 1922"
Colonel Roosevelt smiled but made
no reply.
Il want to talk of questions that are
live" he continued Questions that
affect us all. We want to shape things
so that every American citizen can
earn a living and be protected in his
rights. Dishonesty and greed must be
fought with absolute fearlessness.

Il want to assure you he began
when three men managed to climb up
on a truck and obscure the view OF

Get down." said the colonel, ana
they did. Il want to assure you that

am going to fight for clean govern

There are two prime articles in my

Il do not distinguish between the
man of wealth and the man of poverty
so long as both are law abiding citi-
zens, clean merit and working for clean
government"
The high wind prevented half the
crowd from hearing what the colonel
said, so he turned his back on those

words. Then he elbowed his way to

After posing for photographers the COL

sives, including Congressman Rowland,
spent a few minutes with him and then
the train left.
These are the two primary articles

poor. If there is disorder all reforms

shall insist upon honesty If it breaks
up the best business of the land and
shall insist upon order under all cir

Remember that the public officer
who does not maintain order and fails
to put down mob, is quite as criminal
as any corrupt man who conducts a
great corporation that becomes cor
rupt.
Il stand for decent citizenship 1 am
