John a. Peters. the candidate of the
Republican party, went over the Incl
dents which led up to his nominatio
in the primary and made it plain that
he considered himself only the agent
of such men IN the district who believe
as he does, to work out their wishes in
legislation. He stated that, since the
start of the fight, he had visited all the
counties and was much encouraged by
the reports he had received, as well as
by bis contact with the voters. He be-
leved the tide to be from the Demo-
cratic and Third parties toward the Re-
publican party
Mr.. Peters urged the committeeman
to cooperate with him in registering
an emphatic protest against free trade
and the attack on Maine resources
which is contained in the Underwood
bill.

that every man who voted fer Roosevelt

Senator Taber d. Bailey made a ringing
speech, in which he answered a sugges-
ton that someone in Washington eoun-
ty was going to vote for one of the 9TH
err candidates because of his name SEN
ator Bailey remarked that If any of the
candidates had more iIlustrious name
back of him than John A. Peters, he'd
like to know it, and then pointed out
that one of the family, Judge John A.
Peters, was responsible for placing
Names courts far ahead of those of
many other states. From what he had
been able to gather, he thought that the
name had stood for real progressive pol
icies for some years.

the market with the least possible delay.
Col. +. II. Parkhust of Bangor pointed
out that here had not been an election
in Maine in recent years when the stay
at-home vote was not large enough to
have changed the result. He believed
that the moment this class of voters I'M
derstood that the country faces the
greatest crisis since 1860, they would go
to the polls and vote the Republican
ticket. He called attention to the fact
that the government of the country Is

ton, products and wealth.

FINeERPRINTs p SIGNATURE.
As Valid As Written Name Declare
Experts at Washington.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Two or three
finger prints on an lou" are as val
id as a formal signature, in the opin-
ion of the fingerprint expert of the
United States Marine Corps.
In a statement forwarded to the
secretary of the interior, today, the
expert established the genuineness of
80 fngerprints which were given 10
him for identification and the finding
is expected to cause a certain Paw
nee Indian considerable embarrass-
mcnt. The Indian signed a memoran-
DUN acknowledging his indebtedness
of several hundred dollars to an At
torney and in addition to affixing his
signature, made several finger i'm
prints on the paper.
The attorney sent in his claim te
the department of the interior for his
fee but in the meantime the Indian
denied having signed the paper. In
order to determine the question, tht
department submitted the memoran
dun fer expert examination, which
disclosed that the prints are ident
cal in II different characteristics. This
is sufficient. the expert holds, to es-
tablish their identity. The department
will now pay the fee.
