CANDIDATES A T
FITCHBURG FAIR

Fitchburg, Mass, Oct. H-Three can
didates fer governor visited the fair here
at different times today and addressed
the crowd. Only one, Nelson B. Clark.
the Progressive candidate, touched on po-
litical Issues. Governor Walsh, the DEM
ocratic candidate for reelection. and
Samuel w. Mccall, the Republican NOM
inee, confined themselves to agricultural
topics.
Mr.. Clark's speech was the first in his
state campaign. He attacked what he
termed "the invisible government of the
Republican party" and asserted that the
overthrow of the Republican machine
would hasten the triumph of social and
industrial justice which the Progressive
party champions. He said that he was
under no delusons as to the possibility
Of his election and was aware also that
his candidacy probably would benefit one
of the two dominan. parties, but he be-
lieved that fight for a principle justi-
fed his campaign.

from New York to abandon Portland
so far as our line is concerned II the
|lcngshoremen insist upon the new
wage scale.
"Rather than meet the demands
other than the increase OF two cents
an hour for day work we Will seno
our ships to other ports where con-
ditions are better and where the ships
NAV be discharged and loaded to bet
ter advantage.
Conditions are such at the present
time that there is great scarcity OF
ships and the demand for tonnage IS
so great that the various lines can
easily find cargoes at ports where
trouble for securing labor to load ana
unload cargoes does not exist.
THE scarcity of ships is we'll ex-
emplifed in the fact that we do not
have a ship sailing out Of Montreal
this month when under normal con-
ditions October is one of the busiest
months of the season at the big Can
adian port.
"All the steamship lines sending
ships to Portland are perfectly will
ing to meet the demand for IS cents
an hour for day work, but we are not
willing to pay the other demands in
GLIDING the 40 cents an hour for
handling coal. Such a price is not
paid in Boston or other ports and
while certain local coal dealers may
pay 40 cents it must be taken into
consideration that the transatlantic
lines are not Incorporation with local
coal dealers, but are in competition
with the transatlantic services at 9TH
err American ports"
The officers Of the longshoremen's
association claim that they are SIM
ply asking for the same scale Of wa
ges as received at other ports on the
Atlantic coasts and the proposition
made by the steamship officials to
meet the demand for the increase in
day work and the refusal to meet
the demands for Sunday and holiday
work will be placed before the men,
bers of the association at a meeting
to be held next Tuesday evening.
Many of the steamship officials who
came to Portland from Montreal for
the conference with the labor organ
ization returned to the Canadian city
today awaiting some definite word
from the longshormen's organization.

Grabs Him by Coat

Denver, Colo.,, Oct. 14.-Ben B. Lind.
sey. judge Of Denver's Juvenile court.
was ordered elected from the criminal
division Of the district court here today
by Judge W. D. Wright. The courts
action was taken when Lindsey con-
tradicted statements made by ]. &.
Sullivan, an attorney. using an en-
phatic term, and grabbed Sullivan by
the coat.
Sullivan was presenting arguments
for the defense Of the case OF Frank
L. Rose. on trial charged with conspir-
acy to ruin Lindsey. He declared Lind
sey had toured the country delivering
lectures in which he malfgned Denver.
At this point Lindsey called Sullivan
a liar and grabbed him by the coat.
Court bailiffs sprang to each man,
and under the courts order took Judge
Lindsey from the room.
Judge Lindsey late today ISSUED a
signed explanation Of his election from
the district court. He said that Sulli-
van virtually ignored the case against
Rose and discussed matters not REFER
red to In evidence.
The statement said:
when Sullivan reached the point
charging me with maligning my city
and state and the Judge sat quietly
without interrupting him. got up and
deliberately called him a liar. The
judge was entirely responsible for this
necessity
Judge Lindsey further expressed the
belief that Judge Wright was preju-
diced. against him and made improper
rulings
