Rallies Of Last Campaign Week.

kdtlteS VI L$1St $UiuPe18u WSens
The somewhat strenuous politica
campaign which has just closed included
| in Its closing week Q number of meetings
in this vicinity. At Norway Opera
House Monday evening Republican
rally was addressed by Ex-Governor
Bert N. Fernald OF Poland and United
States Senator VIM. E. Borah of Idaho.
E. E. Andrews acted ss chairman of the
meeting, and there was music by the
South Paris Band. There was good
audience.
Mr.. Fernald discussed principally the
effect OF the present Democratic tariff
upon the industries Of Maine, taking up
In detail numerous products OF the farms
and factories of the state, naming the
amount of reduction in the tariff on
them, and showing the large increase In
importatIons In all these things since the
tariff law went into effect last October.
he had mass Of figures ct bis tongues
end showing how much increased CON-
petition the producers of the country,
especially the farmers Of Maine, now
have to meet from the products OF other
countries, where labor is much more
poorly paid than here.
Senator Borah spoke here in the cam
paign six years ago, and Is remembered
as one of the most eloquent orators who
has come into the state. In this address
he did full justice to bis reputation
here. His appeal is as direct and logi-
cal as ever, and he holds his audience
with unfagging interest from start to
finish.
Senator Borah is one Of those who was
a most earnest supporter of Roosevelt in
1912, but considers that the best instru-
mentality of carrying out the principles
10 which be believes Is the Republican
party. To tia matter he devoted q por.
ton of his time, oondemning the action
of the Republican National Committee
In 1912, but saying that with the revision
of convention rules and the change OF
the basis of representation which had
been made, that action could never be
repeated. He appealed to the Progress
ives not to give the Democrats half or
two-thirds of vote by voting q third
party ticket.
In discussing the tariff, he gave facts
and figures to show that the Underwood
tariff bill, passed by the present Demo
cratic congress, is particularly agains
the interests of the American farmer,
and especially the northern farmer.
He alleged in vigorous language that
there is not single pledge in the Demo
cratic platform which has not been dis
regarded or violated, and went into de.
iail with reference to certain planks of
the platform. Special attention was
given to the plank denouncing the ex-
travagance Of the Republican congress,
and Senator Borah showed that the ap.
preparations of the present Democratic
congress will exceed by many millions
those of the preceding Republican con-
gress.

Thursday evening Progressive rally
was held in Grange Hall, South Paris.
There was music by the South Paris
Band. A good audience was present,
though the hall was not filled to it's seat.
ing capacity.
r. L. Cummings presided, and briefly
introduced the speakers. The names
advertised as the speakers of the even.
ing were Hon. Charles E. Burbank of
Bridgewater, Mass, state senator, and
Hon. q. II. Sturgis OF Standish, but
neither was present. Mr.. Cummings ex-
pressed his regrets at announcing that
Mr.. Sturgis could not be present, and
that Mr.. Burbank had not been heard
from. He presented as the first speaker
Franklin Fisher of Lewiston.
Mr.. Fisher took only few minutes to
set forth the situation in Androscoggin
County, asserting that while it had been
advertised that the Civic Alliance was to
support the Republican candidates, In
| fact most of the members of the Alliance
would vote the straight Progressive tick
OF.
The chairman then introduced Hon.
Nelson B. Clark, candidate for congress
in the Sixth Massachusetts, District. Mr..
Clark spoke for something more than an
hour. in an earnest manner. The foun.
da,ion of the Progressive party, he said,
ia the idea that the people shall rule.
The Republican party, as is almost al.
ways the case with political parties, has
been getting farther and farther away
from the people. He was entirely OPP
| nosad m the Democratic tariff and the
Democratic program, and in relation to
the tariff advocated medium, SCIENTIFIC
and reasonable schedule OF rates.
However, he spent but little OF bis
time discussing principles or issues, but
most of it talking of the political situa-
ton and prospects. The newspapers
came in for an extended scoring. He as
ssrted that the Boston Herald is being
maintained until after the November
election by those financially responsible
for 1t, for the sole purpose OF discredit-
ing the Progressive movement and par.
ts, and said that in this state the Herald
has parallel in the Portland Press. de
cautioned his hearers not to believe
what they read In the papers In this
campaign of misrepresentation. Several
references were made to the Third
Maine District campaign of last year,
and be gave the impression that Peters
was elected by some kind OF political
trickery. II Democrats are elected In
Maine, he said, the responsibility will
rest solely with the Republicans, be,
cause they did not vote for the Progress
sive candidates.
