In an irritable voice, Mr. Gardner
replied: AT that time, in the heat of

Mr.. Gardner said that I.ucian w.

the editor reported the speech very
carefully and when Mr.. Gardner de-

that remarkable statement was taken
down word for word.
Mr.. Gardner puts forward Mr.. Rlan-

make the statement. The editor also
has witness who is ready to 90 into

made the statement word for word

is Mr.. Martin l.. Griffin, a superin

Washington, Sept. 10.-Autumn is
the time to prepare for profitable
corn crop the following season. At
this time the seed is most abundant
and the very best can be obtained be-
FORE 1t has been in any way reduced
In vitality. Many let the opportun-
ity pass, expecting to purchase their
seed corn in the spring, but the De-
partment of Agricultures specialist in
charge Of corn Investigations advises
that the autumn is the best time to
select good seed
The best place for the farmer to OBJ
tain seed corn is from fields on his
own farm, or in his neighborhood, that
were planted with a variety which has
generally proved most successful in
that locality. OF course, If a COM
munity has an experienced and hon
est corn breeder on whom it may re-
ly, the seed corn may be obtained
from him.
The corn breeder who has demon
strated year after year the superiority
of his corn will demand special
price for his superior seed. Such
corn breeders are improving corn as
cattle breeders have improved cattle.
He has used special methods that
famers generally have not time to ap-
ply. Five dollars a bushel is not too
much to pay and will be a profitable
bargain for both parties.

o, Mr.. Gardner!
(Rumford Falls Times.)

Halbert P. Gardner Progressive
candidate for Governor called the
Times editor on the telephone, from
Portland, Wednesday forenoon and
declared that he never made the
statement concerning Prohibition
that was accredited him in our report
of the rally in Scenic theatre, on Fri
day evening, August 14th.
Mr.. Gardner seemed to be very
much excited, for he used words I'M
BETTING an aspirant for the high
office of Governor of the State of
Maine. He talked so loudly that it
was with difficulty that the edtoi
could understand him. But one SEN
tence was shouted very distinctly and
was:
You're a liar and you published
that mis- statement purely for cam
paign purposes"
The editor tried to get a word in
edgewise, now and then. but found it
a difficult job. Mr.. Gardner had the
floor and was bound to keep it.
However. after Mr.. Gardner had
said all he could think of, there was a
'lull and the editor took advantage of
it to say that the part he objected to
was verbatim from his speech, for
when a remarkable statement is made
by any political speaker the exact
words are taken down so as to pre-
vent any misquotations. The editor
assured Mr.. Gardner that his exact
words were:
Il don't believe that Prohibition is
the best way to promote sobriety, but
other Progressives don't have to think
as l do
The entire paragraph, containing
that statement, follows:
The old parties have been using
the liquor law for politics, not to pro-
mote temperance. | don't believe that
Prohibition is the best way to promote

ton to the City hall. The band
played a short concert in front of
the building and then disbanded.
Carroll n. Perkins, a member of the
city committee, presided and intro
duced the speakers. Calling this the
most important campaign in which
Maine has ever been involved, and
one that is attracting national atten-
ton, Mr.. Perkins first introduced
Senator Dutton as one well qualified
to speak on the State issues.
With an interesting introduction in
which he spoke in glowing terms of
MIR Kelley, and in which he likened
Maine to the French Republic, which
is now suffering because of its folly,
he asked the voters to profit by the
example of the unfortunate republic.
across the water, and act in accord
ance with the welfare of the State.
Mr.. button spoke of the State at
large being on the Threshold OF an
industrial and financial crisis, and one
that was worthy of very deep con-
sideration. He also touched upon the
code and platform advocated and set
forth in the convention at Bangor in
1912. and said that all the pledges
had been fulfilled.
Touching upon State matters he first
treated the public utilities bill, upon
which the voters will be expected TO
make a decision next Monday at the
polls. The public utilities bill provides
Of
board. with the authority to act to reg
ulate the corporations serving the
public within the State. and to say
what demands that corporation or
corporations shall make upon the peo-
pie of Maine. This board will see that
the public receives compensation for
the money put into the hands of the
corporations. The board if created will
do away with the present monopolies
ard will give open competition more
sway. Mr.. button said that if it wasn't
for some of the Democrats and the
Progressives in the House and Senate
last session the bill would have been
carried through, and If the Lewiston
Journal, the organ of the Progressive
party, had not turned its back on
bill it once advocated, and If 1t had
not been killed, there would be
regulation of the Maine Central today.
Ir addressing the voters Mr.. Dutton
said: IF you vote down that bill next
Monday it will be long day before
any other Legislature will take it up
again, and the State will be taking a
back step by turning down the flu
ture of Maine"
Mr.. button then turned to the work
mems compensation act. which was
also killed at the last Legislature. A
week ago Mr.. Newbert said that the |
bill was killed because there was a
conspiracy among the Republicans |
who had the majority in the House '

INDOOR CIRCUS
PROvESASCREAM
Big Audience Entertained on
Opening Night-Bill to Be
Repeated Tonight.

The indoor circus opened last night
at the Y NJ c. A For more than two
hours, the men and boys of the gym
nasium classes entertained an audi
ence that filled the galleries and the
bleachers, giving them a varied and
amusing program, with alternate
thrills and laughs.
From the time that w. B. Mcintyre,
as ringmaster, introduced the grand
parade clear down to the red fire and
smoke of the battle of Vanilla bay,
there was not a dull minute in the
whole evening. Ewn the necessary
intervals while the apparatus was
changing were occupied by the clowns
with their funny antics, and the big
numbers of the program were so we'll
done and so unusual that the ringmas-
ter's call for "enthusiasm" was drown
ed in the noise of the applause.
The entire show will be repeated this
evening, beginning at s.
1t would be hard to single out any
special numbers of performers for
mention, as all were so good that they
deserve great praise.
