Waterville, Me-, Aug. 20.-(SpeciaD.
The 1S-hours of cold drizzly rain
which began early Saturday morning
and lasted throughout the day and
evening probably held many at home
but oven SO the attendance at the
Republican rally held at o'clock Sat-
urday evening in the Armory was of
size to bring great pleasure to the
speakers.
On the platform were seated the
three men who were to participate in
the evenings program and at about
SIS, after asselection by the Waterville
Military band. Martin F. Bartlett.
chairman of the meeting. introduced
the first speaker, Hon. Edward c.
Plummer of Bath.
Edward C. Plummer
For fully an half hour Mr.. Plum
mer held his audience by his easy
manner of speaking and the practical
common sense of his arguments. He
referred to the new Shipping Bill
which the Democrats have just inaug-
urated and by clear cut deduction
showed the foolishness of such a bill.
and showed how by it we were spenu~
ing American money for foreign in
dustry and labor both in the past and
in the future, and in the matter OF
dollars and cents were getting just
one fourth of what we might for our
money. This he sized up accurately as
40 diffnrarna ha$ n
ship and imitation craftsmanship" In
regard to the policy of protection Mr..
Plummer spoke briefly and advanced
the argument, which cannot be de-
MED, that protection provided a great
er variety of opportunities for en-
ployment whereby a man had a great
er opportunity to find profitable en-
terprise. which. in turn worked for
the great economic good of the coun-
try Mr.. Plummer called attention to
a recent statement of Mr.. Pattangalfs
wherein that gentleman said that sa-
Icons in Bangor were running as free
as If We had license and in refutal
said that the liquor might be there
1t was kept in the dark. which fact
alone is more valuable than all the
ei lCStlHeI WHICH dIe du-
vanced in favor of license. Prohibi-
ton at it's worst is better than Ii
cense at its best, he said, and quoted
statistics showing where 40 per cent.
of the homes in Maine are owned by
their tenants which percentage is
higher than in any other New England
state, whether they have license or
not. In conclusion Mr.. Plummer spoke
of the necessity of soon deciding up
on the man whom we wished to look
after our interests in Congress, Mr..
Peters or Mr.. Pattangall. and point
ed out the fact that today is day
of business, and the necessity for
which a man with business training
is required to fairly represent his con-
stituants in Congress; and referred the
voters to the careers of the two can
didates.

The second speaker of the evening
Congressman Clarence B. Miller of
Minnesota, was next introduced by
Chairman Martin F. Bartlett.
His PREDATORY remarks concerning
the present titanic struggle being
waged in Europe eloquently and neat
ly led up to his topic of the battlefield
upon American soil in which we are
all soon to join, not a battlefield of
blood and life but battle where are
matched ideals, where thought against
thought, where the policies of the two
great parties meet in conflict to see
which is the better. The present is a
time, he said, when there is a great
need for sobriety of thought. careful
consideration and sound judgment in
Congress Maine is about the first
state to enter this battle and will de-
eide upon two things; matters of state
and local importance, and also upon
the great national questions. Congress-
man Miller cited the fact that we no
longer need conjecture concerning the
oncoming conflict: We have had two
years of Democratic rule, and as has
been aptly and truly said, we are
guided by the light of experience. The
experience of two years of Democratic
rule has not been beneficial Congress-
man Miller quoted several men high in
the esteem of the country for their
soundness of thinking as sewing. after
judging from several months of Dem
ocratic rule that they did not believe
the principles of Democracy were
sound.
Promises Of Democracy
Three of the promises of the Demo-
cratic party were referred to by Con-
gresham Miller. He spoke of their
promise to lower the tariff, to lower the
nigh cost OF living, and their promise
TO cut down appropriations. Concern
ing the tariff, Mr.. Miller showed
wherein the Democrats most assuredlv
had cut down the tariff but had cut it
down III such way as to bring the
American farmer in competition with
the whole world and to in no way ben
eft the consumer He quoted facts
concerning wheat, flour, barley, po-
tatoes and WOOL Inside Of three months
after the Underwood tariff bill went
into effect millions of bushels of Ca
madam wheat had been imported and

apolis and Duluth to compete with the

is higher than it has been for years.
Was this d benefit to the farmer. was

Mr.. Miller. Barley, likewise on the free
list, soon dropped from $1.20 to 30
cents per bushel. Concerning potatoes.
potatoes were by the Underwood bill
brought into competition witt, the
great crops Of New Brunswick. This
condition. however, has been remedied
by executive action and the whole

tariff will ruin the potato crop Of

mittee at the court house Wednes-
day afternoon. The committee

linson, conducted the meeting, and

Wm. Sherman, of Powell, appeared
before the committee as a repre-
sentative from his section of the
county He gave a good account
of the nature of the soil and the
the topography of the lands in his
neighborhood and emphatically de-
clared the land is more suited and
should be adapted to agricultural
rather than for reforestry purposes.
Judge Griff Thomas was also a
testifier presented some interesting
light on the character of the lands
in the southern part of the county.
In Iron county there are five towns
belonging TO the state and some
of this land IS located near
Vim. Sherman S place at Powell
This committee has been holding
sessions at various town in counties
in the state in which state land IS
located and are for the purpose OF
getting opinions from farmers and
others as to whether the land is
better adapted for agricultural pur-
pose or whether it should be used
for a reforestry plan to be adopted

Unidentified Man Murder
ed Near Wakefield. Y

The blood stained body of an
unknown man was found by Miles
Flnnegan in the woods short dis
tance from the road between Wake
field and Thomaston last Saturday
The body showed unmistakable
marks of a desperate attack, the
neck having been gashed with a
knife, and the forehead severely
bruised. From the appearance 81
the remains it is evident that the
deceased had been murdered, and
the body then thrown into the
woods.
Examination of the corpse by
the authorities at Wakefield proved
that death was caused by knife
thrusts in the neck.
A bag of clothes and bottle of
whisky were found in the brush
near the body, but neither pocket
book, belt nor any MONEY or valu-
ables of any kind were dicovered.
There was nothing on the body,
or III the clothes to Civ any clew to
the identity of the dead man.
Miles Finnegan, who discovered
the tragedy, was making a survey

 FROM JAIL TERM

Charges of keeping a gambling house at 534 Water street against Ching Yuen were changed to having more than five grains of opium in his pos session at continued hearing today. Attorney John c. Chamberlain ap- peared for the Chinaman. pleaded that he was along in years, has been addicted to the opium habit for years and had the larger amount of drug on account of fearing that there would be stringency in the market.

No Employment
 For Bridgeporters

J } One of the meanest arguments } made to induce the voters to au- ) thorize 8 heavy debt is the claim that the debt will provide work for Bridgeporters. A debt of S4O0 ,OO has been au- thorfzed for the New High School, but the worl<men are imported from other places. It has been the same with other contracts, and will continue to be the same.
 When the paving was laid on Stratford avenue, the work was done by Portuguese. A big debt will furnish work, though it will not furnish employ ment.
 The taxpayers and rent payers of Bridgeport will have to work ) hard to PAY THE DEBT. Instead of paying once for n public Improvement, they will pay } TWICE.

BECKER EYES ROSE
 STEADILY AS JACK IS CROSS EXAMINED

New York May ssBald Jack Rose, the fnformer, underwent the or deal of CIT ross-exanainatIon today at the trial of Charles Becker flor the n1ur- der of Herman Rosenthal Martin T.. Manton,t chief of Becker's counsel, be- gan by asking Rose why he changed his name from Rosenzweig to Rose. Rose said he had changed his name ? 3 years ago. He denied that he had ever been in jail during that time. 4 Mantons hurled at him a long list of questions designed to bring out the questionable life the witness had led. Rose calmly met each implication. denying that he had engagedsin petty larcencies, that he had been associated with women of the streets or that he had been a .tsteerer'' for stBridgies Webber.s opium den
 Manton almost shouted some oe his questions, but the witness never parently he wss as calm as in his sii- rect examination yesterday It is a contention of the defense that Roeen- thai was the victim of a gamblers war. The witness was closely ques- toned about series Of newspaper articles on the underworld for which he was sponsor
 Rose admitted that in them he had mentioned meeting Becker at several places not mentioned in his testimony yesterday. The defense here intro- duced transcripts of yesterdays tes- tifnony and from the inst trial show ing discrepancies in the matter of these meetings Rose admitted the discrepancies, but did not explain them. Tn the main, however, the in- formers story up to this point was not shaken.
 Public Interest Intense
 Interest in the second trial ot fE-- Herman Rosenthal appears to be in ereasing now that the actual taking o1 evidence has begun. The announce ment that the chief witness for the people was telling for second time his story of the alleged plot that ha6 much to do with the conviction o1 Becker at his first trial brought q great crowd to the criminal courts building yesterday.
 Every seat in the little courtroom was occupied, many by women promi nent in society and club circles. IT l the corridors outside the crowd be- came so insistent for admission tha1 I several times the police were called upon to clear the passages.
 As at the first trial of Becker, Rose. answers to question came without hesitation although he frequently wa. almost inaudfble and several times i was noticeable that he had lost hi. l former power of self-control Throughout Roses recital, Mrs Becker, wife of the defendant, watch ed the witness intently.
