BELFAST

Notwithstanding the snow storm Of

veterans and friends from all over
the county drove to North SearspOrt
yesterday and held one Of the most en-
ioyable meetings of the winter in
Granite Grange hall. North Searsport
Is the home Of Alfred Stintson, for
over 20 years secretary of the associa-
ton and one who never misses
meeting. He is never quite so happy,
however, as when the boys meet in
his town. Mr.. Stintson is extremely
proud of his little granddaughter Eve
lyn Spaulding. who last year gave the
address Of welcome to her GRANDPA
theirs comrades and on this occasion
sang for them. She was honored Thurs
day by being adopted by the associa-
ton as 1.-The granddaughter Of the
regiment and as such will henceforth
be known.
The regular morning session was
abandoned Thursday for the men are
gathering by twos ana threes all the
forenoon and as one comrade expressed
it would much rather sit round and
swap lies" than have a dry meeting.

Says Used Cars Great Bargains.

Mr.. Hall of the Paige Motor Co., 595
West Newbury street, Boston, Mass,
says:
1T is surprising what wonderful val
ues can be offered in used cars. There
are many people of wealth who feel
that they want new car each season
regardless of whether the old one has
been actually used much or not. The
consequence is that many used cars are
thrown on the market that are really
in splendid condition and have thou
sands and thousands of miles Of good
substantial service in them. This is es-
pecially true Of used cars that are
carefully inspected, bearings set up,
ignition adjusted and new parts put in
where needed, as is the case with SO
many of the used cars that we sell.
ANY automobile man will tell you
that new car right out Of the factory
is not in as good working order as it
will be after it has run 1000 miles or
more. A used car in good condition
that has been given good care by the
previous owner, is q real bargain and
very often gives more comfort, better
appearance and thousands and thou
sands of miles more service, than a
cheap new car that might be bought
now at the same price. A surprisingly
large percentage Of new automobiles
are bought by people who have last
years model in perfectly good. condi-
ton and working order but feel that
they want the newest and latest thing
on the market, so you can plainly see
what a wonderful bargain a used car
may prove to be. if in good condition,
as ours are. Why it is not uncommon
for a man to pick up a car for $500
to $500, or some such comparatively
small price, that new cost several
times as much and now as a used car
is worth at least twice what he has to
pay for it. A man that is looking for
such bargain as this can well call at
595 West Newbury street, which is just
around the corner from the Kenmore
street station Of the new Boylston
street subway and can be reached in
a few minutes from either railroad sta
ton.
Our policy Is to clean out our stock
Of used cars during Automobile Show
week SO that a man who has the price
with him and means business, provid-
ing he comes early in the week, can
ride home in a used car that will sure
be some bargain. Our profit Is in the
sale Of new cars but, Of course, we
have to dispose of the used cars that
we take in trade and that is where you
get your bargain."-Adv

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings In Al
the Leading Stocks

New York, March 3.-The specula-
tive element, which had the market
quite to itself for the greater part Of
the session, was plainly inclined to
draw more favorable differences today
from latest developments in Washing
ton and abroad, and prices hardened
appreciably. Trading was the lightest
and most circumscribed of any recent
day, but the undertone. save for a few
specialties. denoted quiet confidence.
Gains of to over points were ir-
regularly distributed, except in the
railway division which was extremely
apathetic. Better known issues Of the
war group contributed more than their
proportionate quota, with exceptional
activity in few Of the equipment
shares. Oil sales occurred smartly
Mexican Petroleum and Texas Co. re-
spending to the extent Of points or
more on reports Of discoveries Of fresh
oil wells in Mexico and along that bor-
der. For a time United States Steel
surrendered IT'S active leadership to
such ill-asserted issues as Corn pro-
ducts and Baldwin Locomotive, the
former showing strength while Bald
win lost ground which was made UP
later. Steel took the foremost place Ia
ter. however, rising Ia to 9e2 and
showing greater strength than any
other active stock.
Among the few weak issues were
General Motors and Consolidated Gas
and Electric of Baltimore. Motors
made full recovery and pressure
against other specialties relaxed later.
Bethlehem Steel on light dealings rose
IS to 46S.
Best prices as a whole occurred in
the active and strong final hour. the
movement synchronizing with the vote
in the United States Senate, support
ing the administration by an over
whelming majority. Total sales
amounted to 347,O0O shares.

the manufacture of war by-products.
The extent to which the Southern sec
ton of the country is protiting by the
large railway tonnage was seen In the
January statement of Louisville and
Nashville, which showed a net in
crease of $4,000. Dealings in bonds
were light and irregular, with some
minor price concessions in the more
speculative issues. Total sales, (par
value), aggregated $2,26O.O0O. United

CHARLIE HALL FINDS
WARE WAR ON PHANTOM
VOTERS "OLD STUFF"
Seventh Ward Leader Says He
and Other McNichol Lieuten-
ants Have Been Purifying
Ballot for Ten Years
FRAUD "UNPRoFITABLE"

Charles r. Hail. chief clerk OF Select
Council and leader OF the Republican
forces in the Seventh Ward, said today
that he and other McNichol leaders have
been doing for 10 years what Senator Ware
said he proposed to do toward removing
phantom names from the voters lists
The Senator. In a statement yesterday
said he would urge all OF his political fol-
lowers to eliminate illegal voting and do
all they could to prevent election frauds in
the future. Mr.. Hall said his sentiments
were similar TO those OF Senator Ware. and
that he believed criminality at the polls
would do more harm than good for the
party that permitted II.
Senator Yare does not take me into his
confidence" said Mr.. Han, but believe he
w6uld not come out with any statement de.
claring his intention TO do a certain thing
unless IL was his purpose to do 1t.
But IN the Seventh Ward we have
been trying to keep the election lists clean
for the last 10 years. The day OF illegal
voting has virtually disappeared. No ward
leader finds Il profitable now to allow
man TO vote in a division where he has
no legal residence.
THE number of votes gained in this
way can never be great enough to make
any difference in the total result Party
elections are won and lost, without any
noticeable effect being exercised by the
criminal elements
"You will find that the man who votes
when he is not entitled to is generally of
the lowest order of society; often he has
no bad intentions. but fails TO understand
the seriousness of the franchise. Some-
times. he Is unable to comprehend the
meaning Of the word registration or TO ap-
preciate what an election really amounts
to.
"Often my friends and 1 have assisted
in prosecuting the election crook. In the
last 10 years about dozen ballotbox-
