July 25th, before Judge Libby Henry W.
swasey of Portland, Ex-Judge William P.
Whltehouse of Augusta and Robert F. Dunton
of Belfast appeared for the estate, with fifteen
or more witnesses. Mr.. Thompson was pres
ent and George F. Gould of Portland. U. G. Up
ton of Boston and Miss Aurelia Hanson of
Maiden, Mass, appeared for him. The plain

DEMOCRATIC RALLY. The program ar
ranged by the Democratic State committee
for campaign meetings included rally in
Belfast July 18th with a number OF prominent
speakers. but before going to press last week
we were advised that this meeting had been
postponed the date to be decided at meeting
of the county committee. But the speakers
arrived on the date originally appointed, and
as no public notice had been given there was a
very small attendance at the meeting Tuesday
afternoon in the Opera House. Gov Curtis
was unable to be present. Peter Harmon of
Thorndike, Waldo county member of the State
committee, called the meeting to order and
called upon VIM. F. Jude to preside. The
first speaker was Hon. John E. Bunker, Score.
tary of State, who spoke on State finances.
!, Prof. Kenneth C. M. Stills of Bowdoin College.
Democratic candidate for u S. Senator, spoke
on national issues. Hon. VIM. F. Pattangall,
Attorney General, of Augusta, spoke on or
ganlzatlon, and the closing speech was by U.
s. Senator, Charles F. johnson of Waterville a
candidate for reelection, who eulogized Pres-
dent Wilson and upheld the policy of his ad-
ministration. They were all good speeches
from the Democratic standpoint, and of course
the Republican party came in for the usual
adverse criticism.
