Labor Me-. Of Bar Harbor
So Manifest, Thursday.
Biggest,l lGrandest and Most
Enthusiastic Rally for Years.
Ex.Gov. Cobb and Cong. Kelley Set

Bar Harbor, Me, Sept. 4.-tSpeeiaD.
Publicly acknowledging their en-
dorsement of John A. Peters, Republi-
can candidate for Congress from the
3rd District. officials of every labor
union in this town appeared on the
stage of the hall here, tonight, on their
own initiative at one of the grandest
and biggest rallies held here Tor n
long time Ex-Gov. Cobb and E,X- Gov.
Kelly of Michigan were the speakers.
Bar Harbor is enthusiastic and is
out to fight for the conservation of the
interests of Maine as was well mani

ed by red fire. Never before in the
history of the this little sea-coast town
have its citizens been so stirred to
the depths of emphasizing their loyal
ty to the Pine Tree State and it's in
terests.
The whole affair was preceded by q
band concert on the green, followed
by the parade to the hall. which was
filled to its utmost with those anxious
to hear the speakers.
The fact that the laboring men of
this little town took such a way of
demonstrating their faith in Mr.. Peters
forms in itself an emphatic denial Of
the third party claims that Hancock
county is theirs.
Then again too. stands out the fact
that not for a long time has such a
splendid. more enthusiastic rally, or
one attended by larger numbers, been
held in this town. And. Bar Har
Dor. tonight is fair expression of the
attitude of the entire district.
Former Governor of Maine William 1.
Cobb, the first speaker, introduced by
Edward +. Clark of this town. in his
usual characteristic hit-the-nail-on-th
head fashion urged the Republicans and
Progressiyes to stand together. He be-
lieved they were not very far apart any
way. He scored the free trade policy of
the Democratic platform, and showed its
weaknesses and faults.
Ex-Governor Kelly of Michigan now
In Congress, from his very commencing,
gathered his audience and held them
giving rapt attention TO his forcible ar
guments throughout his address His
clear. concise sayings, his directness met
with the favor. and approval of the toll
ers of the coast of Maine.
Congressman Kelly did not hesitate 10
declare against the falaey of the division
OF the Republican party. There could be
no victory for Republicans, he asserted,
in national politics long as Progress
sives continued to follow the lead of a
stray sheep. He stated he believed in
Maine conditions differed and that Mr..
Peters stood more than a chance of win

herents of. last fall. and declared Tor

oored by Gull.

The third accident of the week hap
pened. Thursday morning, when Ches-
ter Hamlin of East Wilton was hook
ed and quite seriously injured by his
three -year-old Jersey bull
The animal was fastened in one of
the outside stalls near the swine de-
partment and had given no trouble up
to the time of the accident.
Just before 8 o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Hamlin went to his stall to water
the animal and found him in a play-
full mood. Now, bull is like some
men, the most dangerous when they
seem the most amiable and it ham
pened to be so in this case. Mr. Ham
I'm is so accustomed to the animal
that quite likely he was bit careless.
At any rate he trusted him not wisely
but too well. In an unguarded mo-
ment when his back was turned the
ouii gored him in the back but very
fortunately the wound was not serj-
Gus.
The shock was worse than the
wound and for a time Mr.. Hamliu was
helpless. Men quickly gathered around
and prevented the bull from doing
further mischief and he was made se-
cure.
The wounded man was taken to one
OF the nearby cottages and put to bed
while DR.. Sleeper was sent for. No
bones were broken but 1t was found
that the injured man was badly
bruised and will be laid up for few
days. 1t is said that Jersey bull is
the most dangerous Of all domestic
animals, but Mr.. Hamlin says that this
one has always been gentle and he is
OF the opinion that 1t was an acci-
dent. 1t is well that It was no worse
as the horns of big bull are very
dangerous even when they play.
Plan to Rob Ticket Office.
1t was neat job done by Chief-of-
Police Leader, Wednesday night, when
he discovered the plot of a bunch OF
crooks who We're planning to rush to
the lower ticket office and seize the
money till.
The discovery was brought about
through the pickpocket who had been
detained earlier in the day for an at
tempt to work" near the window.
This man was put through the third
degree by Leader and finally agreed to
tell of the plot providing he could be
released The chief promised to do
this end the crook was taken to the
depot and put aboard the train. BE-
fore the train pulled, out, one of his
pals showed up and was taken in tow
by the officer. The men admitted that
they had intended to rush the ticket
office, but as the scheme had fallen
through, there was nothing on which,
they could be held. Both men We're
run out of town, and if any of the
gang are left they are keeping very
quiet.

"Patt's' Heap Big Joke on Pro-

opportunity to invite the Progressives
to join him. MIR. Pattangall said

that the Progressives could best ac-
complish their aim by joining the
Democratic party. He said further
that the Progressive party stood for
nothing that would hinder the Pro-

cratic speech ex-senator Beveridge of
Indiana spoke. His speech would have
been accepted as good sound Repub-
