Be a Squirrel, Not a Nut, Says
Hinckley at Jonesport Rally.

Jonesport, Me-, Sept 2.-tspeeiaD.-
Jonesport, tonight, had its Republican
rally. and it was winner Although
there are about five Democrats to one
Republican in the town. which is the
largest town in the county, and in
spite of the fact that the chairman of
the Democratic rally, the other night,
threatened all kinds of dire punish
nent on any speaker who dared TO
come to Jenesport and say anything
against "Patt," the Republicans were
determined to ge ahead, and after dis
cussinS the matter with the State COM
1aittee, they decided that Frederick w.
Hinckiey Of Portland, and formerly
from this county, was the man to come
ard cross swords with Patti. as he did
successfully in the last State campaign.
He came, and those who We're pres
ont are satisfied that from a Repub-
lean standpoint no mistake was made.
Ills argument was forcefui, and brist-
ling with witticisms He took up the
arguments of Pattangall, one by one,
and riddled them to pieces. Many Dem
ccrats at the close of the meeting
openly stated that they guessed they
would look out for their own pockets
and vote for Peters.
The meeting was held in the Opera
house, and the place was crowded.
Music was furnished by the JoneSport
Band. and D. o. French presided. Ash
ley st. Clair. Esq, of Calais. was also
one of the speakers, and made "a very
effective argument on the tariff Mr..
Hinckley spoke in part, as follows:
Il have been informed that it was
rather an unsafe thing for a Repub-
lican to come to Jonesport and talk
against Pat" | haven't come for that
purpose. | have come here to discuss
issues, and not men. If | wanted II

ANOTHER PROGRESSIVE
LOSES HOPE IN LAWRENCE.
Delegate to Conventions that Nominated
Both Roosevelt at Chicago and Law
renee at WatervilIe, Tells why
He Turns to John A. Peters.

John r. Taylor of Skowhegan, dele
gate for Maine to the Progressive con-
%ention at Chicago that nominated
Roosevelt for President, and a delegate
from Skowho gan to the Progressive
party convention at Waterville that
nominated f. NJ. Lawrence for Com
gress, has reached the conclusion that
further efforts to work needed reforms
through the Progressive party are use
less. through its weakness, and has
east his lot with the Republican party.
He believes that men having ideas sim
liar to his, are sufficiently numerous In
the Republican party To insure that
every reform for which the third party
declares will be worked out through the
organization and leaders of the Repub-
lican party.
Mr. Taylor is Il newspaper correspon-
dent at skowhegan and his work takes
him into every town in Somerset coun-
ty. He meets more people, representing
the various walks of life, different
shades of political belief, and personal
preference as to candidates than any
other man in Somerset county. He has
never made canvass, but his daily
contact with these people has led him
to believe that John \. Peters of Ellis
worth, is going to defeat Pattangall. He
has reached this conclusion largely be-
cause of the large number of voters
who are plcdging themselves to Mr.,
Peters while the third party head
