the Republican Club at Headquarters
Friday night. DR.. Crockett, known in
his youth as the silver tongued ora
tor of the AndrOscoggin," has lost
none of his oratorical powers and held
his audience closely during his ad-

matters without gloves. There was a
large and enthusiastic gathering and
DR.. Crockett was literally applauded
throughout his speech. Later an infor-

county committee were in session Sat-

are making up the schedule for the
campaign speaking which opens on
Monday. Among the assignments for

". A. PENDERCAST, CONC. KELLEY
And HON. S. ". M'CALL INCLUDED
IN REPUBLICAN SPEAKERS IN maine

Portland, Me, Aug. 16.-(SpeciaD-I
would be hard to imagine three bigger
men for a political campaign than
William A Prendergast, Congressman
Mccall. All three of these distinguish
ed men are coming to Maine to take
part in the Republican State cam
paign. They will be heard in many
parts Of the State. AS each one of
them is an orator far above the av-
eraGe, 1t is certain that the audiences
that gather to hear them will be
among the biggest in the campaign.
Mr.. Prendergast is one of the very
big men of the country-men of the
progressive class and of the new
school of Republicanism-who have
come to the realization that the Re
publican party is the best instrument
for good government and that, by it's
restoration to power, unprecedented
national prosperity is sure to result.
1t was Prendergast who first pro-
for the Presidential nomination after
iaiI lictu tdOy DtGil dCCOTueQ I0dI
honor az the Chicago National conven-
ton in 1912. Mr.. Prendergast took
this action at a meeting held at Or
chestra hall Immediately following the
famous convention of that year. This
was practically the first step in the
forming of the Progressive organiza-
ton with Roosevelt at the head A
short while after this, Mr.. Prendergast
issued Il call for the formation of the
Progressive party in the state of New
York. He was one of the active cam
paigners during the year of 1912 for
the Progressives, but this past spring,
he returned to the Republican organi-
cation as did many others in New York
state.
In his long commercial career as we'll
as during his Identification with poll
ties. Mr.. Prendergast has become an
authority on financial matters and his
Credit and It's Uses is regarded as
an invaluable asset to the library of
every banker, broker and business
man. His connection with the finan-
cial interests of the country has made
him thoroughly familiar with business
and political conditions so that when
he comes to speak in Maine in this
campaign, he must be regarded as a
man whose word cannot fail to carry
weight with the voters of the State.
There is hardly a voter in the State
of Maine who has not heard of the
Hon. Patrick H. Kelley, congressman
at-large from the State of Michigan. 1t
was he who stirred the Republicans of
Maine to the highest pitch of enthusi-
asm at the last Republican State con-
vention in Augusta. Since that time,
the demands for him to come to Maine
and speak have been insistent. Now he
is coming, will be here over two weeks
and will be heard in nearly every
county of the State.
OF all the members of Congress,
there is none that holds a higher repu-
tatfon as speaker than Governor
Kelley. At the Republican convention
in Augusta, he spoke for over an
hour, yet SO interesting was he that
there We're requests that he keep on
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-08-17

talking. Now that he is coming to
Maine, hundreds of voters who had no
chance to hear him in Augusta will be
given that opportunity. Those who
heard him then will surely be on hand
to listen to the congressman a second
time.
Governor Kelley is product of
Michigan for he was born in Cass
county, Oct. Z. 1867. He received his
education in the village and district
schools and later attended the North
ern Indiana Normal school and the
Michigan State Normal college. He
graduated from the law department Of
the University of Michigan in 1900 and
is now a prominent practicing attorn-
ey. He was a member of the Michigan
State Board of Education, 1901 -19O5 and
State superintendent of public instruc-
zion. 1905, 1907. From 1907 to 1911 he
was lieutenant governor of Michigan.
In 1912, he was elected congressman
at-large by a handsome plurality over
both his Progressive and Democratic
opponents. He received 1866 votes,
the Progressive candidate 175,451 and
the Democratic candidate, 152.1ss. And
this, too, when Col. Roosevelt was
candidate for the Presidency at the
same election and the fight between
The Republicans and the Progressives
seemed to be the main point at issue
He is a candidate for reelection and
there seems little doubt that he will be
sent back to Congress with a substan-
tial plurality.
Noted in Many Lines.
While the West may claim some Of
the big orators of the country, the
East is not without men who possess
this accomplishment. The Hon. Sam
is coming to Maine soon is one of
these. He has the reputation of being
one of the best orators in this part of
the United States. Oratory, politics
and letters are not often combined in
one person, but they are in the case of
Mr.. Mccall for he has distinguished
himself in each one of these lines. Just
at present he is the Republican can
didate for Governor of Massachusetts.
He is going to take some of the time
from his own campaign and come
down to Maine for speaking tour of
the State.
So distinguished has he become as a
speaker that his services have always
been in demand, not only for political
gatherings, but also for college COM
mencements and other occasions.
Mr.. Mccall was born at East Provi-
dence. Pa, on Feb. IS, 1851, and has
been honored with the degree OF A. B.
and IL. D. at Dartmouth and the de-
gree of LII. D. at Overlin college. After
being admitted to the bar in 1876. he
praeticed law in Boston and was edi-
tor chief of the Boston Advertiser
for year. In addition to being a
member of the Massachusetts Legis-
lature, he has been a delegate to two
of the National Republican eonven-
tions and served in'ethe National Con-
gross from Massachusetts where he
was member of the SOD and 62nd
bodies inclusive, from the eighth dis
trice. He has contributed much to
the field of American literature.
