FUSION CONFAB IS
NOW BEING HELD
Prominent Bull Moosers Summoned
to Philadelphia to Give Their
Views on Subject
.Stccial to Tho TcleErath

Philadelphia, Sept. s. Prominent
Washington party men from eastern
counties of the state are coming to
Philadelphia to-day for series OF
conferences with State Chairman Dct-
rich and others to give their views on
fusion and i'm reality to be smoothed
down The Bull Moose leaders have
found that desire for fusion is chiefly
in the western end of the State and
that I'm the eastern part there is much
objection to becoming a mere parade
OF the Mccormick Democratic parade.
Men from a dozen counties are eN-
pected tonight and more tomorrow.
Rumors here are that some of the
Democratic and Washington party
leaders will meet tomorrow, as Pal
mer and Mccormick plan to he in
Philadelphia and Dean Lewis is now
here.
Much opposition is being manifest
ed to fusion ON the ground that it
would mean the extinction of the
Washington party Just like the Key
stone party. with which Vance McCor
mick. the Democratic candidate, was
once connected. but which he aban-
doned as soon as he could worm his
way into power in the Democratic or
ganization.

lamps lamps instead of four. in all electrical
tons there were to be fifty lamp show

ing, stand which Mr.. Trahan offered to
INCLUDE in his original proposal, or in

After going over the two proposals
we informed the Chamber of Com

included in the agreement as we rep
resented the Harrisburg fremen and
we Gould not return to them with an
inferior decoration upon this occasion,
when they would entertain the State
Fire Association at the largest gather

of less than $500.
This, fellow citizens, is what the

tried i" force the firemen to take, ard

wishes. We do not want the public to
think that this is the will of the mem

A Matter of Issues and Democratic Party Left

During this week there have been
further significant facts brought to
the people here that the Republican
by an old time Republican plurality.
AS one man stated Thursday: Il have
been in the fight of campaigns for 20
years and l have never seen so much
assurance on the part of the people
that the Republicans are going to get
a tremendous vote as at present" One
old time fighter in the ranks of the
party stated: You can't help win
ming. 1t is a matter of issues this year
and the people are going to repudiate
the present Democratic administration
at Washington. This compares with
the second year of CleVeland's admin
istration when it will be remembered
Maine was suffering from the Dem
ocratic tariff bill as now and that in
the bi-election that was held in this
State to elect Governor, Llewellyn
Powers was the Republican candidate
and though everything was said
against him that could be said against
any candidate, yet he won by the big
gest plurality ever given Maine Gov
ernor. his plurality being about 49,
geo votes. The people feel now as then,
declared this man, times and condi-
tons are the same"
That the Progressives are going to
help give Haines this plurality is
shown in the reports that have been
received here this week. In one town
in Kennebec county where Lawrence,
the Progressive candidate for Con-
sress. got good vote last September.
the Progressives are now allying them
selves with the Republicans. In this
town Friday the chairman of the Pro-

TROUBLE GALORE
FINDS WAY INTO
MUNICIPAL COURT
Case of Larceny of Lead from
Water District Assault
Cases Are Heard

Supt. Soule of the Gardiner Water Dis
trict has been missing pig lead from the
nine-ton lot which is used in soldering
the joints of the water main to South
Gardiner. When a man tried to sell Max
Goldberg some of the lead he became
suspicious and notified Supt Soule, who
in turn notified Sheriff F. e. Potter. The
sheriff finally ran across a shipment of
two barrels which was being taken to
Boston via the Eastern Steamship Co.
The barrels contained lead and came
from junk dealer in Randolph, Frank
Goldberg by name. Inquiry at his place
of business led to the arrest of John Fos-
ter and Arthur Tyler, Both of Randolph.
Tyler and Foster were arraigned, charg-
ed with the larceny of the lead, Friday
guilty and bound over in the sum of $500
each for the September term Of court
This morning as Sheriff Potter was go
ing across the Gardiner and Randolph
bridge in his auto he saw two men en-
gagged in a smuggling match. He escorted
the two men to the station, where they
said they We're bridge painters named
Kelley and Kehoe. Each claimed that
the other was the instigator of the rum
pus, and Kelley backed up his testimony
by producing three witnesses who cor
roborated his testimony Kelley was dis
charged and Kehoe held till later, the
judge reserving his decision.
George w. McPhee was arraigned on
complaint of Llewellyn Lehman. charged
with assault and battery at the formers
store on Winter street. Relations be-
tween the two men have evidently been
strained for some time. Lehman claimed
that MePhee had struck him, and Nc
Phee said this was untrue. McPhee ad-
mitted having forcibly removed Lehman
and was found guilty of technical as
sault but released on suspended sentence.

surely going back to the Republican
party l meet men every day WHO have
stood out that they should vote the
Progressive ticket this fall and now
when 1 meet them and try to get them
to do some work for the Progressive
ticket, they without an exception say
that they have found that voting the
Progressive ticket this fall is contrib
uting toward the success of the DEM
ocratie ticket. They all end up by
saving: I can't do that and am, there
FORE going to vote the Republican
ticket" This statement comes from a
Progressive that can be relied upon
for what he says and can easily be
verified if one doubts the fact of it,
A member of the Franklin county
Progressive committee was in Show
hogan Friday and in conversation
with several men here, stated that
there was no question. but that the
Progressive party in Franklin would
lose heavily to the Republican party
this fall He said further: THE only
hope We can have is in getting Roose-
Welt here to help bolster up the party"
TIE fact that Roosevelt has an
nounced his support for Human, the
Republican candidate for Governor
in New York, has not fired the cour-
age ef the Progressives in this section
of the State. The Associated Press re-
port of Friday from Indiana announc-
ing that more than 100 Progressives
had declared their allegiance to the
Republican ticket in that state and
openly urged all who voted the Pro
eressive ticket in 1912 to support the
Republican ticket this fall, has not
helped the Progressive cause any here
Everybody seems to realize that it is
an economic and vital matter to vote
the Republican ticket this fall in or
der that the country may again return
to the prosperity that it enjoyed under
the Republicans.
