with the Increases IN

Washington, July 13.-The Senate
today began discussion of the 1915 000,-
600 naval bill, the largest naval appro-
priation measure by many millions in
the nations history, and bearing in
creases of nearly s50.000000 over its
total as it passed the House.
An indication that the Senate is in
sympathy with the liberal increases
written into the bill by the Senate ma
val committee was seen in the ap-
prevail without opposition of a section
increasing the enlisted strength Of the
navy from the present $4,000 to $4,000
men and 5000 apprentice seamen. The
House bill provides for an increase to
only $1,000 men.
When the personnel section was
reached Senator Norris asked for an
explanation Of its purpose. Senator

piled that the section as drafted fol-

aged Hill. Warren Hill ond, was also
in the gathering so that three genera
tons Of Republicans were present to
lend their endorsement Of the present
campaign. Mr.. Hill has been voting the
Republican ticket since 1916 and he
was proud to say today that he was
going to vote 1t again this fall.
The rally was an immensely sue
cessful one. No attempt was made to
get out a big gathering but the COM
mtttee from all parts of Washington
county and many of the candidates
with their friends attended the meet
ing and were filled with enthusiasm
over the prospect Of success at the
fall election.

great convention at Chicago which he at
tended as a delegate he told of the need
Of more young men taking part in poll
tics. He also called attention to the fact
that a campaign cannot be won by criti-
cism. You must have good constructive
principles to Offer said Mr.. Peters. The
Republican party has those principles in
their platform and he read from the
platform to show the great things for
which the party stands.
Chairman Ham
Chairman Frank ]. Ham for the State
committee was the last speaker. He de-
clared that the Democrats are determined
to carry Maine at all costs and that they
are preparing to make a drive into the
State the like Of which has never before
been seen in this section. W. r. Pattan.
gall he haid had been elected campaign
manager for the party. while the Demo
Gratis State chairman himself would know
no more about what was going on than a
man in Africa.
Mr. Ham emphasized the necessity of
giving Mr.. Hughes a Republican Senate
with which to work and urged the voters
to see to II that two Republican senators
were sent from Maine.
