Seated upon the platform were the
speakers of the evening. Dana c. Skill
lin, the representative to the Legis-
lature from the Hallowell class. and
NJ Fl. Simmons, secretary of the Ken
nebec County Republican Committee.
Mr. Simmons in opening the speak
ing stated that the present campaign
had been of great interest In which
many vital issues must be decided.
John L. Nelson of Waterville spoke
in appreciation of Hon William II.
IIaines Of Watervsiiiiiie, the 2ep;bii=
can candidate for Governor. and also
devoted considerable time to the dis
cussion of the financial issues as they
appeared in this campaign. He char
acterized Mr.. Haines as a large, clean,
strong man, physically, morally and
intellectually, simple without conceit
in spite of his great achievements. not
a camp follower but a general, self
made man raised from the ranks.
Mr. Nelson enumerated Mr.. Haines
public service as county attorney.
State senator member of the House of
Representatives, attorney general
member of Governor Hills Council for
two terms and trustee of the Univer-
sity of Maine for 20 years. He allud-
ed TO the interchangeable energy and
great capacity for hard work, pos
sessed by the Republican candidate for
Governor, as we'll as the great part
he has had in the industrial develop
ment of the State, building a railroad
through the wilderness, establishing
mills and factories and carrying on
an extensive numbering business.
Mr.. Haines has been on the STUMP
since 1879 always a loyal Republican
and no gutter. When Mr.. Fernald de
feated him for the Gubernatorial nom

OF his support and Mr. ernald hat

years in advance of his party on tn,

that it should be resubmitted at tn,

Judge Maher Is
Hit of Campaign
At Lewiston.

Lewiston, Me, Sept. 4.-(SpeciaD.-
Hon. Richard Yates, ex-governor of
Illinois, DR.. Adjutor Caron of Woon-
socket, r. l., and Judge Benedict +.
Maher of Augusta were the speakers
at the Republican rally, Wednesday
night, in City hall. 1t proved one Of
the hest-attended meetings of the
campaign and the audience granted
fun attention and pleasing applause
at every point made in the address.
The out-of-State speakers adhered
strictly to national issues and labor
interests, but Judge Maher, advertis-
ed on Saturday evening by Stephen
Kelly as the Chesterfield of the Maine
bar" was the hit of the Republican
endeavors in this section.
Judge Makers Address.
The Augusta man spoke as follows:
Judge Benedict f. Maher in the
course of his argument on State is
sues scored the present Democratic
administration, which pretends to be
reform administration, for its eva
sion of the real interests of the peo-
pie of Maine as instanced by the re-
lection of the Public. Utility Bill. He
sharply criticized the neglect of labor
measures as instanced by the refusal
to act on the Employers Liability Act
and vividly contrasted the perform
ance of the Democratic Legislature
with its campaign promises of pro-
gressive legislation in the matter of
ballot reform. Speaking of labor
1.-THE Republican Legislature of 1909,
which has been criticized, earieatured
and condemned by Democracy, can
point with pride to one measure which
with foresight, courage and a fair
disposition toward the great indus
trial forces of Maine, it caused to be
enacted into law, namely, the EN-
ployers Liability Act A Republican
Legislature adopted this law, practi-
cally identical with the Massachusetts,
act and in 1911 when the boasted
forces of reform and the self-styled
champions of the masses were in full
control of the legislative as we'll as
| the executive branch of the State gov
eminent and were asked to extend
the provisions of this act so as to
make the law a more practical meas
ure in the interest of justice and hui
manity, when after Gov. Plaisted il
| his inaugural address had tersely
| called attention to the subject ano
| urged action in these words: 'Legisla-

The Financial Issue.

In opening his discussion on the
financial issue. Mr.. Nelson remarked,
while figures viii not lie liars will
sometimes figure"
He pointed out that the direct taxes
do not come into the treasury until
the January following the year in
which they are assessed. Mr.. Fernald
had n three-mll tax rate assessed in
1908 and a three-mill tax rate in 1909
To work on, six mills in all, making
the direct tax which he had to use
81, 100000: Governor Plaisted had a
five-mill rate to expend,. assessed in
1910, and Il siXmill tax rate assessed
in 1911, amounting to $4,S00,000. If
Governor Fernald had reversed the
tax rate assessed in his administra-
ton and had five mills assessed his
first year he would have had eight
mills to work with during his two
years and if Plaisted had assessed no
istration all bills would have been
paid and there would have been
balance in the treasury.
The speaker alluded to the unfair
ness of the Democratic State treas
urer's report, which figures in the
taxes due the State so as to make a
balance for the Democratic admins
tration and does not do so in case of
the Republican administration. TAX
ing out the taxes due we find the
Democrats owing. the first of Janu-
airy, 1912. $2,63l 900. or $13l, 900 more
than the Republicans owed on Jan. I.

A WALRUS ON LAND.
The Awkward and Bulky Creature Is
Almost Helpless.


AS might be expected, walrus il
about as helpless on land as a canal
boat. 1t is with no little difficulty ana
much hitching and 1oundering that he
drags his huge bulk upon sandy shore
even with the boosting he gets from
behind by the breakers as they roll in
and dash against him.
His hind dippers are Of little use on
land, and on sand or pebbles, where
his front flippers do not hold well, the
labor of floundering forward is so great
that he never stirs beyond the edge of
the water and usually lies with his
body half awash, with the salt spray
dashing over him like torrents OF rain.
On solid rock or ice he gets along
much better, and often herd will
spread several rods back from the wa
ter's edge.
The females and younger walruses
have far less development of neck to
incumber them and therefore enjoy
more freedom of motion than the old
males, who actually seem a great bur-
den to themselves. These creatures
are strictly social in their habits and
always go in herds. whether travelling,
feeding, fighting or resting ashore. In
the days before the slaughter of all
living creatures became a ruling pas
sion in the breast OF man the Pacific
species inhabited the whole of Boring
sea and strait in herds which often
contained thousands and even tens of
thousands OF Individuals
