Republican Rally
Saturday Evening
Calls Big Crowd

Saturday night at Union hall the
Republicans held just before the
battle rally, which called out a large
crowd and proved a rouser, it being
estimated that st least $50 were in
the hail. A real rally it was, one that
showed that the people were interested
in their party, it's principles and that
they would go TO the polls today and
support the party's candidates.
1t was gathering informal in its
nature from every standpoint. Some
of those gentlemen who spoke at the
rally March 2 in the same hall and
who claimed that it was there maid
en- spech,' were there with the elo-
quence and their talk was impressive,
to the point and full of good solid in
formation
Blaine S. Viles, chairman of the Re-
publican city committee, broke the ice
by giving a short, witty talk, criti-
cizing some points in the Democrat
&c administration. AT the conclusion
of Mr. Viles' remarks he introduced
as chairman Hon. Fred G. Kinsman.
The speakers of the evening We're:
Thomas Leigh, Hon. Frank L. Dutton,
A. l.. Rose. candidate for alderman in
Ward T, Arthur n. Soule, Warden
Frank ]. Ham of the Maine State
prison. Fred Wight, T. J. Lyons and
Hon Willis E. Swift, candidate for
mayor. The remarks of all the speak
ers were sharp and right to the point,
each appealing to all Republicans to
stand by the ticket with the assurance
that Mr. Swift would be the next may
or of Augusta.

If this is not precisely what has been 60
ing on in past years, and so long as it
continues what hope have we that Uncle
Sam will surrender his revenue?
No. Brother Chadbourne / am not in
sympathy with you and am grateful that
for the past 80 years l have been to the
polls and gave expression to my convic-
tions that 1.-THE importation, transporta-
ton, manufacture and sale of intoMcat-
ing liquors as a beverage should cease"
1t is not for me TO ask whether 1 am in
the hopeless minority or not. 1t is not
for me to listen to the sophistry of the
Kennebec Journal in condemning Uncle
Sam for reaping a revenue from the rum
traffic and at every national political
campaign trying it's best TO continue him
in the business. 1t is for me to be four
square for the right and say politically
by my ballot what attitude 1 take IN re-
gard to the liquor traffic.
In closing allow me to say that II
either the Republican or Democrat party
will put a plank in the National Plat
form, outlawing the liquor traffic. I will
give encouragement and help to the party
that 1 think will win out in that line.
Otherwise neither of them has any right
TO expect support from one who honestly
believes that "how to get rid of the drink

that confronts the American people to.
