THE DEAD.
I uss. W. 3. MORLEY.

d
Msssw. B. worley died ri the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Sam
Farmer near Wesson, on Sunday
last after lingering illness. The
remains were brought home and
inferred Tuesday morning. The
deceased had been away from
home about two months attend
ing her two daughters and was
sick about four weeks. All that
skilled attention could do was Of
no avail.
Mrs. Morley was one OF the
most es;imable christian women
of this community and has lived
her life from childhood in Oxford.
She needs no word Of praise. for
all who knew her appreciated her,
as a model wife, devoted mother
and true christian woman in
every walk in life. The throng
Of friends who paid their last tri-
butte OF respect aitested the deep
sympathy for the loved ones of
that stricken home.
A devoted husband, three
daughters and two sons, besides
q number OF other relatives and
friends mourn her death.

Professional ''Organizers" Attempt
ing to Mislead Voters in Third
District=-Mulhall Methods by
Self-COnStituted 'IeaderS."
Preliminary Canvass Reveals Surprising Conception
Of ANY Means Justified by Hoped-for Good End"

Professional "organiZers," acting for
| the group of men who have apprro-
priated to themselves the leadership
| of the third party in this State, have
been going about among the voters
of the Third Congressional District
representing to the Republicans who
voted for Theodore Roosevelt last
November that they are no longer
members of the Republican party;
that they have no right in Republic
can party councils and must, to be
consistent, support and vote for the
third party convention nominee for
Congress rather than give in their bal
lots for John A. Peters, who was NOM
mated in primary. 1t is further
suggested that voters who signed a
Lawrence petition are thereby debar-
red from giving their support to the
Republican candidate. These organ
izers' are also making use of the same
unfair statement which headed the
call for the third party convention,
that the Legislature failed to make
provision for a primary for that party,
the impression sought to be given be-
ing that the Republican Legislature
had somehow played trick.
Republicans who are seeking to
combine the protection sentiment in
the Third district TO the end that Pat
tangall and free trade may be defeat
ed and rebuked. take the ground that
the rank and file of the Republican
party who voted fer Roosevelt last
November. did SO because of admira-
ton for that great leader, as pro-
test against reciprocity, against Pres
ident Taft's personality or against
what they deemed unfair tactics in
the Chicago convention; and that
they did not do so with any intention
of leaving the Republican party.
fairly comprehensive survey of the
district, in which some hundred or
more leaders in the Roosevelt move
ment of last November were inter-
viewed has disclosed the fact that
nearly all of these Republicans hold
that view, never intended to leave the
Republican party and do not consider
that they have done so. The men in
terviewed stated that they did not
feel that it was necessary for them
to come back or return" to the
Republican party, for they had never
really left it.
No fair minded man, Republicans
assert, can claim for a minute that
the men who supported Roosevelt last
November are not members of the
Republican party or that they are not
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1913-08-07

just as much entitled to take part
in party councils as before. 1t is also
well recognized that the Democratic
leaders, knowing that their only
chance of securing an apparent en-
tlorsement Of free trade by Maine vet-
crs is in dividing the majority so that
a minority can win, are doing all they
can to foster the third party move
| ment.
The proposition that Republicans
who voted for Roosevelt last Fall can
not continue to support Republican
nominees and be consistent is met by
Republicans with the assertion that.
having never intended to leave the
Republican party, but only having
intended to exercise the right to
register Il protest, anything except
support of straight Republican NOM
inees now would be ineonsist-
ent to the highest degree. The issues
of last November have largely been
disposed of, through legislation and
otherwise, and are not the issues of
the present campaign.
Every man who supported Roose-
welt WIS a protectionist and every
man who supported Taft was also a
protectionist. Protection or free trade
is the principal issue of the campaign,
and according to the claim Of the Re-
publicans, there is nothing inconsistent
III continuing to support protection in
the most effective manner, /. e. by
voting for John A. Peters, the only
man who can defeat Pattangall and
the party that stands for the removal
of protection.

against a forest fire that threatened
to destroy the Methodist campground
at Yarmouth met with success, early
today, when the flames were brought

were destroyed and as the 20 square

A few families living at the camp

the night, in the expectation that the
flames would reach their property.
