OF
WATERVILLE HOLD
RALLY AT ARMORY
Hon. Halbert p. Gardner, Hon.
H. H. Sturgis and Rev. L.
H. Clark Speak

Three hundred men of various political
views and ideas gathered in the armory
Monday evening to listen to Hon Hal
bert P. Gardner, Progressive candidate
for Governor, Hor, II. H. Sturgis, IA
nous as the leader of the Sturgis COM
mission, and Rev. L. H. Clark, candidate
for sheriff of Kennebec county Edward
c. Crosby acted as chairman of the
meeting and after a very few introducto-
ry remarks gave way to Mr.. Sturgis of
Portland who was the first speaker.
Mr.. Sturgis said that the growing in
terest in the Progressive movement
which was aimed chiefly at theelimna-
tion of the boss rule, was significant that
the party was gaining in strength and
that while the party was seeking to gain
control of the State government it was
not taking the rum question as the chief
ISSUE as both the Democrats and Repub-
licans were doing. He maintained that
there were various other things to which
some attention might be devoted during
the present campaign.
The speaker dwelt chiefly on now
through him and other citizens of Port
land, there began proceedings that re-
suited in the removal of Sheriff Ballou
and three other county sheriffs in Maine
He told of his visit TO the Governor in
the capital last March, and how Gov
ernor Haines had said that he did not
have the money Or the evidence with
which to prosecute the sheriffs, and how
some of the citizens and the Civic League
had helped produce the money. He fur
bar hat
suggested waiting until after close of the
Legislature and bring the sheriffs to task
in another way, and how His Excellency
had wanted 10 wait until the last day Of
the session and then present the evidence
Mr.. Sturgis' speech took up the early
part of the evening until the arrival of
Mr.. Gardner and Mr.. Clark. who had
been speaking in Oakland at a rally
Mr.. Gardner discussed the State issues,
suppressed or CLOSED over by the news
papers, as the bright red fiiers put out
early in the day had said he would He
reviewed the situations, and said that
the Progressive party meant better
government for the people; it would mean
enforcement it would mean conscien-
tious endeavor to bring out the best in
terests of the people and to give atten-
tion to many things that had been over
looked in the present one.
Rev L. H. Clark of Gardiner, the last
speaker, devoted practically all of his
time to trying to impress upon the peo-
pie the fact that the prohibitory law was
not being carried out TO its fullest extent
in Kennebec county and that ar the
present time there was ample opportuni-
ty to prevent the sale of a great deal of
the liquor that is being dispensed
throughout the county. Mr.. Clark main
tanned that it was more a farce of regu-
lation than enforcement that the county
was experiencing at the present time

communities like Maine you allow so
much land to go to waste. In Illinois
we try not to let single foot of land
fail to produce its crop, but that ten
dency is not so marked here in Maine.
Il can't see, however, but that the
farmers of Maine are as progressive as
any in the country. Their buildings are
kept up in good shape, and they are in
telligent and alert to new movements.
Another great need for Maine, in
common with other farming states, is
more agricultural schools. Yes, know
you have splendid agricultural course
at the University of Maine, but DO not
meal colleges Of agriculture; / mean
schools of agriculture, where boys and
girls who live in the country can learn
about farming in a scientific way. Do
not think that am one of those who
continually cry, Stay on the farm for
! know 1t is not possible for all boys
and girls TO stay on the farm. Schools
of agriculture will be of greatest bene
MT in giving them exact knowledge of
their profession if they decide to stay
on the farm, and that is fine thing.
Still another need is more Grange
organization although Maine is we'll
organized in comparison with many
states. You can say that the National
Grange will have the biggest growth in
membership this year than it has had
for the past 40 Years. The present
membership is about 1,000,0 900, so l am
president of an organization number
ing more people than a lot of South
American republics can muster. and
much prefer my job to that of presi-
dent of one of those countries.
The National Grange stands for
equity and justice. 1t does not believe
In bringing any hardship on any other
business interests. We do not ask for
special privileges for ourselves, and we
fight against them for other classes.
We think it wrong that the producer
should only get 80 per cent. of the
price that the consumer pays for the
article of food. the other IS per cent
going to the middleman.
What are the chief benefits of the
Grange to the farmer? They are its
good educational, mental. social and
moral influence, and its legislative &C.
tiYity. We seek to help legislation
that will assist the farmer and op-
pose that which will hurt him We
advocated raising the position of sec
rotary of agriculture to a cabinet of
flee and worked for postal savings
banks, parcel post. rural mail delivery,
election of United States senator's by
direct vote of the people and other
important measures. Many of these
the Grange favored when they were
generally unpopular"

NATIONAL GRANGE MASTER OLIVER
WILSON TALKS ABOUT GOOD ROADS
"Ten Roads Ten Miles Long Are Better for the
Long" Is His Opinion-Talks Briefly but In
terestingy to Bangor People on Way to Orono
Field Meet

Market roads for the farmer are
needed far more than long thorough
fares for automobile traffic, and the
National Grange is unalterably in
favor of roads for the rural interests
first, stated National Grange Master
Oliver Wilson of Peoria, ILL.,, who
was at the Bangor House, Saturday
morning. on his way to Orono, where
he was scheduled to speak at Po-
mona field meeting with State Grange
Master c. S. Stetson of Greene, and
! State Grange Lecturer c. o. Puring-
; ton of Bowdoinham. Ten roads ten
miles long will do far more good
than one road one hundred miles
long"
Good roads are one of the greatest
needs for the farmer of Maine as well
of Illinois, and the fight is about to
I go on between the farmers of Illinois
and the automobile interests. We
farmers expect to win out there, too
Conditions in Illinois are different as
far as physical work of making good
roads is concerned, but we have the
same problem of obtaining good mar
and consumer may be benefited. Our
Illinois roads are of black dirt. The
soil itself is extremely fertile, consist
ing of three inches of vegetable mold,
under which are II feet of porous
yellow earth, before reaching hard
pan. We use practically no CONNER
cial fertilizer.
Our order also believes that long
national roads are good. but they
must be paid for out of national
funds. not from taxes levied upon
farmers. If we farmers must pay
for roads, we want those which Will
help us get our products to market
In our state, the farmers bear the
heaviest burden for maintenance of
roads, which | presume is the case
here in Maine, and he should be the
first to reap what benefits may come
from good roads.
What do l think are some of the
opportunities of Maine farmers?
should say that they ought to raise
coming into your State and finding so
much land absolutely going to waste;
brush land that is we'll adapted to
raising sheep. 1t is true they would
have to be sheltered in winter. but l
am informed that years ago sheep
raising was great industry in Maine
and | know of no reason why you
cannot compete with Montana and
other western states in that respect.
You have an advantage over them
in that you are nearer to the market.
cannot understand why in old settled
