club closed, Saturday night, with the
largest and most enthusiastic crowd
of any. The Skowhegan Band gave a
concert. prior to the meeting, and Don
Morrison gave several violin selec-
tions. The feature of the meeting was
the whirlwind address by Judge d. L.
Maher of Augusta. He is one OF the
most eloquent speakers ever heard
here and his arguments were of such
force that everybody drank them IN
Some of his points were: That no
matter what a mans previous pohticS
have BEEN he cannot now be Demo-
crat after the way the present admin
istration has been carried on in the
State The Republican party has al
WAYS been Progressive" 1t was this
party that brought about the initiative
and referendum. The Direct Primary
was of the Republican party. The
Republican party will always be re-
membered because of its work for
utility act and an employers liability
act
Judge Maher asked what the Demo-
cratic Legislature did. He said that
it killed the Public Utility bill all done
by the initiative of one Pattangail TO
satisfy his own personal ambitions,
as there were so many demands upon
him by the representatives of the big
corporations. The Republican Legis-
iature appropriated $4,000 for con-
struetion and this work was done. Inc
Democratic Legislature appropriated
$4,000 for construction work and
spent $4,000 for a special session ana
whitewashing sheriff of York county.
The Democratic party has increased
the tax of every person in the state
and then cries that ii has paid the
bills He said that If anyone believes
in law enforcement he cannot longer
stand with the Democratic party.
Hon. S. j. Walton was the last
speaker of the evening" and he as
usual gave the people good sound
talk, and the wit thrown in added IN
terest throughout He said If anyone
wanted a taste of local option Water
vile was good sample at present
where it is as dry as Covered
Bridge" and the home of the Demo-
cratic statesmen.
The Republicans of the county took
a survey of the conditions Saturday
