may appear.
Another out of the county speaker,
who is likely to be heard in some of
the Cumberland county towns, is Judge
Ben Cleaves of Biddeford. Judge
Cleaves is one of the ablest lawyers
and best public speakers in York
county and he will be welcomed where
he may be assigned. Mr.. Emery, the
State committeeman from York coun-

exchange speakers with him and it is
by this arrangement that Mr.. Decker
hopes to get Judge Cleaves.

one OF them will be Mr.. Trefethen, the
Republican candidate for sheriff.
Mr.. Trefethen made his debut as
political stump speaker at Westbrook.
Thursday night, and he made a decid

cordially greeted. OF course, Mr.. Tre-

Ex=GOv. Fernald
Welcomed to Aid OF
Stump Speakers.

Auburn. Me-, Aug. 1S.-One expert
enced campaigner whose aid will be
welcomed to Republican speaking
forces, Is Ex-Governor Bert M. Fernald.
The announcement is made that he,
with Hon. Jesse M. Libby of Mechanic
Falls, will be heard at a rally in Au-
burn hal, next Wednesday evening. 1t
is understood that outside of Few
band selections the meeting will hold to
strict political lines. The constituents
Of the Republican party in this section

opponents and which are being used in

scr, and have been since the Sturgis
commission was withdrawf-and yet.
in the first two terms of his second
administration, Mr.. Thompson has
turned into the county treasury in
liquor fines less than $500 term, and
hut FIVE offenders went to Jail for vio-
lation of the prohibitory law. At the
February 1911, term, he collected SIC
600, or almost as much as Bertram l..
Smith used to collectAbut it was
quickly realized that the county would
reap no benefit. The money will be
held in reserve against the time when,
despite it's protest and long delay, the
county must pay the expenses of the
Sturgis deputies operating within its
borders-approXimately $4,000. What
will be done at the coming August
term is problematical-but the liquor
dealers are displaying no noticeable
anxiety.
The saloons are here; they run wide
open; and some few pay the county a
pittance for doing SO.

Hon. J. B. Madigan
At Dover Decries
Reciprocity Scheme.

Dover, Me-, Aug. 16.-(Speeial.) y
Hon. j. b. Madigan in an interesting
speech last week, at Central hail.
Dover, in the most emphatic terms
condemned the reciprocity scheme.
His contention was that II was unfair
and dishonest because it brought all
of the products of American farms in
TO competition with the Canadian pro-
ducers. and did not remove the tariff
duties from any one thing that the
American farmer used or consumed.
As ii was constructed wholly upon
Democratic free trace lines, it is easy
to understand how Democrats could
cans, whether residing in the border
states or not, could endorse it, is in
comprehensive.
The point in this campaign in this
fourth Congressional district, however,
is that our own Republican congress
man, Hon. Frank e. Guernsey, was
one of the first in Congress to raise his
voice in strong speech protesting
against it. This speech was recognized
as one of the ablest made in opposi-
ton to it; so much so that there was
demand for its circulation in other
states. Several of these speeches were
circulated in the State of Vermont
alone.
Congressman Burleigh fought the
measure with all his power; in Wash
ington and. in Maine
The other Republican representative
in Al
District although living in the city of
Portland, where there was some sem
timent in its favor, also took reso-
Lutte position with Mr.. Guernsey in OPP
position to the plan Senators Hale
and Frye were also recorded against
it. So all the Republican members OF
Congress from Maine voted and work
ed and spoke against it.
Now what about the Maine Demo-
Gratis in Congress at the next session
Senator Johnson and Reps. GOULD and
McGillicudds voted for this scheme of
reciprocity which Mr.. Madigan so elo-
quently and forcibly denounced.
Through the action of the Republi-
can primaries Mr.. Guernsey is before
the people of his district for reelection
nomination has also been cordially en-
dorsed by the Progressive party at its
State convention in Portland, July 81.
In view of these facts, can the voters
at the coming election do otherwise
that to say to Mr.. Guernsey, We'll
done, thou good and faithful servant;
faithful over a few things, | will make
thee ruler over many things"

TRIBUTE TO HAiNES.
The Rockland Courier Gazette on
Rally by Candidate for Governor.

Rockland, Aug. 1s.-Of the rally in
Rockland, addressed by the Hon. Will
lam t. Haines. the Courier Gazette
has the following to say:
We have heard MIR. Haines make Il
number of political speeches. He al
ways talks with exceeding directness
and clearness. as man does who
has the gift of making himself un-
derstood; but we think we never lis
tened to him when what he had to
say and his manner of saying it We're
more satisfactory and convincing than
in his speech delivered in this city.
last Saturday evening. No man in
Maine is better fortified with knowt-
edge efNthe States affairs than Mr.
Haines. Since he was a young man
he has been on close touch with
things that concern the political and
business prosperity of our people and
long and ripened experience fits him
as few men are fitted to be our Gov
ernor. Two propositions that he adj
vanced will instantly appeal to the
business interests public service
commission and an employers liabil-
ity law are in line with modern prog
ress and do not need argument to
recommend them to our people. Mr..
Haines pledges himself if elected to
move at once for legislation necessary
to fix those wholesome measures in
the working machinery of the State.
This is the sort of thing that the
voter likes TO hear from the honest
and earnest candidate and Mr.. Haines
in vxaginp siIeh a pampaign will be
enormously effective.
