In his usual happy manner The Lew

nal calls him the +firecraeker chair
man. He's better than that. He's a
whole new bunch of firecrackers every
time he starts, and the way the ex-
plosions tear holes in Progressive and
Democratic pretensions is one of the
big features in this falls celebration.
He declared his belief that Andro-
scoggin county has been fooled as long
as it is going to be and will give an
actual plurality to Governor Haines
and Hon. Harold NJ. Sewall at the
coming election.
He discussed the operation of the
tariff and showed its detriment to the

tention of his audience to the fact that
"as Maine goes so goes the nation"
Whether or no there is split in
our party we will win this fall" he de-

Governor Haines

Governor Haines was next intro
duced by Chairman Hodgdon. In OPEN
ing he said that he did not know as
he could make speech or not. He
had been up to Tim Callahan's for
dinner and his nervous system was
ievoting it's whole effort to that. He
was pleased to be present at the meet
ing and to greet Androscoggin Repub-
of them present 1t was just what he
was finding throughout the State.
The Governor said he would like to
talk on the national questions, as he
was much interested in them. He was
a business man, an employer of labor
and was vitality affected by the con-
ditions brought on by the present
Democratic administration. He was
barred from doing this, as he was sup
posed to talk on the subject Of the
State government.
1t seemed to him there was little
need to say much on this. Maine peo-
pie were thinking people. There were
many good papers in Maine. These
kept the people well informed on the
subject of State affairs. so that think
ing people should be able to UNDER
stand fully the situation.

Meaning Of Protection

Meaning Of Protection
No such development, with such nat
ural drawbacks as we have had to en-
coulter, could go on, save under fostering
laws Certainly this has not been due
to the strength of our numerical repre-.
sentation In Congress. for we have had
but four representatives In Congress for
more than 30 years, and today the House
of Representatives numbers 435. No fair
student Of our history can doubt that
this is due not alone to the ability of
the men the Republican party has con-
tributed to the service of the nation, but
to the fact that they have been affliat-
ed with that party whose basic principle
has been the protection of American in
dustries. And unhesitatingiy assert
that there has not been since the Repub-
lican party was formed, a single forward
step in the development of any industry
of this district which has not been due,
and directly due. to this beneficent policy
of the Republican party. And equally
assert that in the two Congresses to
which we have contributed Democrat
ic member there has not been law pass
ed which has made 1t easier for any In
dustry here, or for any worker in those
Industries, to make a dollar
