Candidate for Governor Says License
Advocates Are Trying to Sell Us a
Gold Brick

THE willy and witty license advo-
Gates are trying to sell us gold
BRICK" declared Frederick A. Shep-
herd, Prohibition candidate for Gov
ernor, in the opening meeting of his
campaign, which was held Friday eve
ming in Memorial hall at Oakland.
Under a license law you will get
illegal selling just the same. They
tell us that Massachusetts is a model
in this respect. Let us see how the
Massachusetts law works. In Bever-
", a no-license city of 1850 popula-
ton, according to the census of 1910,
there were 81 internal revenue liquor
dealers licenses held. Out of this
number 10 were druggists or held Ger
tificates of fitness, leaving q places
doing business without the authority
of the law. Brockton had three such
illegal places, Haverhill II, Newbury-
port IA, Salem % and Lynn 30. For the
no-lieense cities of Massachusetts,, 1T
was one illegal liquor shop for every
712 families.
How about the license cities?" the
speaker asked. and then went on to
show, from government records and
Massachusetts, licensing board statis-
tics, that in Taunton, with 34,259 pop
ulation, the number of internal rev.
enue licenses is 76, but only 43 hold
state licenses, leaving SO Illegal places
in that city. In the same way, Holy
oke has 81 illegal places Lawrence 81,
New Bedford 6S, Fall River Y and
Boston $751; Taking the license cities
as a whole, the speaker said, there is
one Illegal place for every 2S2 fami-
lies, against one for every 712 families
in no-license cities.
He said that a nice old gentleman
from South Africa, whom he met in
Christiania, Norway. had showed him
a clipping from the Argus of Port
land. Me-, which he had come into
possession of in some way. The clip
ping was dated Aug. 5, 1911. and it was
charged that Maine spent $1,100,000
year for alcoholic beverages. The
speaker pointed out that this was only
s14s per capita, while the average per
capita consumption for the whole
United States, half under dry terri
tory, is 1919. and the probable aver
age IN wet territory is SIPS per family

ard that the travelling men of Maine and
the public in general were not kindly
disposed to the way the Governor had
acted. Mr.. Newbert also took up the
workmen's compensation act as first
framed and also the 54-hour bill. He
said that these measures were killed by
a conspiracy among the Republicans,
who had a majority in the House. The
other issue. that of prohibition, served
for his grand finale, and In grand and
eloquent burst of oratory and enthusiasm
he said that Colby Getchell and his
deputies were not doing their duty. and
they knew it." The Augusta mayor
brought along some statistics and read
that 1000 gallons of whiskey and 10000
bottles of beer had been shipped into Au-

JOSEPH JENNESS
AGAIN IN CUSTODY

Joseph Jenness, aged "a, arrested a
short time ago on the charge of steal
ing a watch, was again in the hands
of the police Sunday night, charged
with breaking and entering the office
of the G. s. Flood Co. Sunday after
noon. In broad daylight, about 5
O'Clock, Jenness broke one of the win
dows over the scales near the coal
yard and climbed through. Those who
saw him did not believe that he was
breaking in with the intention of rob-
bling, for he had been employed by
Mr.. Flood as driver during the past
week. 1t so happened that Mr.. Flood
came to the office at this time and
saw Jenness coming out of the lime
house door. He spoke to the man,
who at the sound of his voice started
to run. This naturally aroused Mr.
Floods suspicious, and he gave chase
Jenness ran in the direction of San
ger avenue. William Murray joined in
the chase, but Jenness disappeared in
the bushes, dropping some of the COM
pany's stationery and pencils as he
did so. Mr.. Flood returned to the Of
flee, and saw that the money drawer
had been rifled of a small amount of
change. The matter was reported to
the police officer John Donnelly and
Edward Mclaughlin went to Jenness'
home on upper Main street about s
O'Clock, believing that the fellow, not
thinking he had been recognized,
would return. The officers made a
search of the house but did not find
any trace of him. They laid low for
an hour or so and then officer Me-
Laughlin returned alone. He inquired
of the mans mother, but she said that
she had not seen him. Officer Nc
Laughlin left the immediate vicinity
of the house and hid. A short time
after Jenness with another fellow left
and started up the street. Putting his
helmet behind him and covering his
badge with his hand, the policeman
came upon him unawares and placed
him under arrest. Jenness started to
show some resistance but at the sight
of billy" he acquiesed and accom-
panied Mclaughlin to the City build
ing.

START BOOM
FOR GOODS MADE
IN UNITED STATES
Made in America" to Be Slogan
Of New Movement
Just Opened

washington, Sept. 6.-'Made in
America is the keynote of a move
ment started in the National Capitol
Saturday and designed TO be of Ma :
wide scope, the object being to
encourage the purchase of domestic
goods In preference to articles of
foreign manufacture. The movement
is expected to give impetus to many
lines OF INDUSTRY in New England and
to make up for them in added home
trade what they have lost in foreign
consumption through the war in Eu-
rope.
Also 1t is expected to add strength
to a suggestion from Representative
Phelan that States and cities of New
England stamp plainly on the products
of their factories the name of the
place where they are manufactured.
This suggestion he made first in Lynn,
especially in relation to the shoe
trade; now the plan would be expand
ed to include all New England cities
and their numerous varieties of
products.
Beyond this, If the movement sue
ceeds, it is calculated that the number
Of persons out Of employment in New
England and other sections would be
largely reduced Confederation of this
belief is cited in a recent advertise
ment in New York. reading:
If the men and women of this
country would buy American made
goods exclusively until Jan. /, next,
the United States would be $1,000, 900
richer and all workmen would be back
at work.
