Waterville, Maine.
My Dear Sir:-The Civic League Rec
ord of Maine of which | understand you
are the editor, in its August issue under
the heading Campaign Issue in Maine
and speaking of the Progressive party
made the following statement:
Mr.. Gardner, this pary's candidate TOR
governor, IN recent speech at Rumford
falis declared that he did not believe in
pfohlpiton He has never actively identi-
fed himself with any reform movement
IN Maine, nor has he championed law en-
forcement until he became the candidate
OF the Progressive party
F1rst-In regard to the statement al
legged to have been made by me at Rum
ford. the statement made by your paper
is a gross mis-statement of the facts, for
never made the statement accredited to
me.
With respect to your second statement.
that | have never actively identified my
self with any reform movement or cham
ploned law enforcement until / became
Progressive nominee for Governor YOU
are either very badly misinformed or are
making wilful mis-statements
For your information l enclose copy of
pamphlet entitled mo answer" and have
marked part of that pamphlet showing
what measures | voted for while in the
House and Senate. all calling for the bet
ter enforcement of the prohibitory law.
You may or may not know. and if not
YOU can INFORM yourself of this fact,
that during the wet and dry Campaign
in this State | was chairman of the Port
land city committee fighting for the re-
tention of the prohibitory law in the
Maine constitution, although at the time
| was not legal resident of the city of
Portland.
lnasmuch as YOU are supposed to be the
superintendent of a Christian society |
ask you to inform yourself of the cor
rectness of my statements and then apol-

public press for your mis-statements.
At every rally at which | have spoken
have made plain my position, which is
that l believe in the enforcement of all
laws and If elected Governor of the
State of Maine | shall see to it that the
prohibitory law is enforced in all coun-
ties of the State. to the extent of my
power, believing, as l do, that prohibition
is the best method for the suppression of
the liquor traffic and thereby promoting
sobriety and temperance.
Very truly.

Lewiston Daily Sun:
In the Sun for Sept 10 you printed
a report of an address of Halbert P.
Gardner delivered in Auburn on the
evening of Sept 9. Your report con-
tains the following statement:
The Civic League Record quoted
Mr.. Gardner, speaking in Portland, as
saying that he was opposed to the
prohibitory law. This was absolutely
a mis-statement,' said the speaker,
land / have called Mr.. Berry's atten-
ton to the matter, but characteristic
of the methods of this man who is the
tail of the Republican kite, he would
neither correct the mis-statement or
reveal the source of his information"
You put the words attributed to Mr.
Gardner in quotation marks. Now
Mr.. Gardner called me up at my Wa

Gardner in speech at Rumford Falls

City hall was we'll filled Friday eve-
ming at the last big Democratic rally
in the city before the election and the
speakers of the evening, Hon. William
r. Pattangall of Waterville, Democrat
ic candidate for representative to
Congress from the Srd Maine District,
and Hon. Henry f. Hollis, United
States senator from New Hampshire,
talking upon national and State is
sues kept the enthusiasm of the meet
ing alive. Both speakers We're heartily
applauded. From the platform, deco
rated with American flags and pic
lures of President Wilson, these speak
ers endorsed the administration of
the President at Washington and
fiercely attacked the Republican party
and it's principles.
Mayor E. E. Newbert presided He
congratulated Augusta Democrats on
the occasion and then predicted that
the next Governor of Maine would be
a Democrat named Oakley c. Curtis.
He stated that he had been all over
Maine within the last few months and
found everywhere with the Maine
Democrats the spirit of winning.
He praised the work of the Demo-
Gratis representing Maine in Congress
and the work of President Wilson.
THE Democrats tonight are not on the
defensive" he said, they are on the
offensive. The opponents are on the
defensive and are trying to explain
their acts. Governor Haines is also
on the defensive and is trying to ex-
plain many things"
In closing he urged every Democrat
in Augusta to do his duty by standing
by the Democratic ticket and he pre-
dicted that on Monday the Democrats
will carry Augusta by at least 25U
votes.
Hon. William r. Pattangal of Wat
erville was then introduced and in

mastery address he spoke of the is
sues of the campaign and of President
Wilson's policies at Washington.
He tated that it was hard to find the
real issue of the campaign. He Sc
verely criticised the administration of
Governor Haines. And he then turn
ed the attention of the audience to the
tariff.
He defended the Underwood tariff
law and put forth arguments to show
that the law was not injurying prices,
wages or business, and was not Sec
tional And he spoke of the income
tax as a measure that would be of
great benefit to the workingman. Mr.
Pattangall then spoke of the benefits
of the antitrust bills, one of which
has become a law, and he firmly en-
dorsed the policy of President Wilson
in regard to foreign matters.
In closing he attacked Congressman
Peters for his record in Congress. and
urged all Democrats to be at the polls
next Monday with no excuses or hest
tation.
The last speaker of the evening was
Senator Hollis. He characterized Pres
ident Wilson as the man who had
brought industrial liberty to the coun-
try and stated that the Republican
party is jealous of the Democrats and
their great constructive work. And he
praised the work of Senator John
son.
The conditions In Maine under the
prohibitory law he compared to con-
ditions in New Hampshire, existing
under local option and he stated that
it is impossible to stop the sale of in
toxieating liquors In closing he spoke
of the Democratic party as doing the
best it can for the good of the COM
mon people and he urged the support
of the Democratic ticket.

speakers in their places.
The Republican State chairman
Hon. F. H. Parkhurst of Bangor has
been very capable campaign official.
The four Republican candidates for
congress from Maine have been es-
peclaliy alert in sensing the conditions
ana at placing before their people
timely information.
Inc function of the Congressional
committee is to cooperate with the
candidates of the Republican party for
Senate and House. added Chairman
Woods. Senator Burleigh was long a
member of this committee, represent
ing Maine, and knew just how to lift
effectively. He enabled us to proceed
to our undertakings in Maine with no
loss of energy / believe these efforts.
IN which Senator Burleigh has been
so diligent, will show results next
Monday. 1t seems to me that it is now
question only of the Republican
voters in Maine coming out to the
polls. l look for a Republican victory
of good proportions"
Senator Burleigh has been unremit
ting at his work of getting the best
republican speaking talent into the
state. This accounts in large measure
for the formidable roster of Repubu-
can senators who have been filling
dates all over Maine in the last few
Gays. Senator Sterling of South Da-
kota, was one of the first speakers to
go TO Maine at Senator Burleigh's in
Vltation. But number of others fol-
lowed, such as Senator Weeks of
massachusetts,, one of the most con-
Vincing political speakers in Congress
from New England. and Senator
Townsend of Michigan.
The illness of Mrs. Burleigh has
made it necessary for the senator to
stay most of the time at Washington
For many months he has been near
her every hour he could spare from his
official duties. He watches her well
rare with devotion that is a topic Of
much comment at Washington.
Every day Senator Burleigh has
many Inquiries from Republicans here
ABOUT the progress of the Maine cam
palgn. indicating the Importance which
the readers here attach to the voting
IN the Pine Tree State. His correspond
ence with the active Republican work
ers IN the State has continued large
ne mas kept careful tabs on the argu-
ments of the Democratic orators and
supplied deal of material to make
matters clear to the Maine voters. It
mas been decided advantage in this
regard to have weil-informed man
IN washington, who could take care
OF such campaign business expedi-
tiously The three Republican mem
pers OF the House from Maine have
or necessity. been home for the last
fortnight and Senator Burleigh has
been the only man of the Maine dele
cation here.
L have just received letter from
Representative Peters. which was very
assuring as to the Third District" said
Senator Burleigh this afternoon. This
Is only one instance. / believe every
thing is all right In Maine. 1t has
been very active campaign, but I
look for smashing defeat of our op-
ponents.'

ships as 1t did to the boy Hawthorne,
he shipped in the old Black Star

ried him over the world as he rose
in rank to a captains command.
Brave journeys they were. when the

with tattered sails his ship was be-
