campaign has been a mixture Of ma

would get motion, but you could
not tell whether 1t was due to local
current or to the general drift. APP

Ex-President Roosevelt came to
Maine to deliver a single set speech
last week. His coming was awaited
with high hopes by the Republicans
with apprehension by the Democrats,
and with great curiosity by the In
different. A casual, Indifferent crowd
greeted him in Portland. larger
crowd was gathered by cheer leaders
to receive him in Lewiston. The
crowd made a good exhibition Of its
size, which was the object OF the Re-
publican cheer leaders But the crowd
wanted only to hear Mr.. Roosevelt
and only the elect were admitted, and
Mr.. Roosevelt refused to speak twice
even under cover. The Republicans
were certainly disappointed; the Dem
ocrats rejoiced.
VIII Help Get Out the Vote.
Then Mr., Hughes followed Mr.
Roosevelt. He was received by a
large but not record breaking crowd
Bryan gathered larger crowds when
he was not candidate for President.
In Portland the enthusiasm was not
marked. but Mr.. Hughes made a good
campaign speech. The effect OF his
coming probably will be confined TO
the stirring up of the Republica n
voters and thus helping TO get out

OOHERTy PROTECTED
ON POSITION TAKEN
Has No Fear That Any Successful At
tempt Can Be Made To Bring
Him Before Grand Jury.

Because OF his refusal to furnish

with list OF the firms employing
white and colored children TO work
together, State Commissioner of
La Dor Doherty. 1t WAS understood yes
terday. is likely to be called before
the grand jury. II Mr.. Lecky Is sue
cessful in any attempt he might make
TO have this done.
The request Of Mr. Lecky followed
a statement attributed TO Mr.. Doherty
In which he said that he knew of a
case where white children were work
ing with colored labor Mr.. Lecky
holding that no person or corporation.
under the Juvenile delinquency &C.
can contribute to the possible de-
linQuency of any minor. either male
or female. under eighteen years of
age, asked for the name or names If
persons employing white and colored
children together, believing that srcn
a condition would be q violation OF
fused to give the Information, and
stated that no act existed that forbids
the working of the two races together
The position of Mr.. Doherty seems
well defined. He bases his refusal 10
comply with the request of Mr.. Lecky
upon the law covering the activities
OF the Department of Labor, which
expressly prohibits any OF the records
OF results OF Investigations Of the de-
partment being turned over to any
persons. public or private. other than
the Governor OF Virginia. And II is
this law that Mr.. Doherty believes he
is following to the letter.
While Mr.. Doherty is fully aware OF
the existence Of the law prohibiting
any corporation contributing to the
delinquency OF any child. he is equally
aware that no law exists that forbids
the employment of white and black
help together. unless such employ
ment is contributing to the moral de-
linauency of any of them. This is
the question that must be settled. and
In Mr.. Doherty's opinion. 1t would DO
a very difficult one. 1t was pointed
out also that a law prohibiting the
employment OF white and blacks to-
gether would effect practically every
firm in the State. working greatly to
