TAKING OF CENSUS
NEARING THE END
100 Districts CompIeted-Lit-
tie to Be Done in Others.
Plenty of Workers
DIPLOMACY GOT RESULTS

Census enumerators have made big
stride toward the completion of their
work in Philadelphia.
In 100 enumeration districts, it was
said today. the count has been COM
pleted. In many other Of the 1886 dis
tricts the work is virtually finished, with
only a few loose ends remaining for
the enumerators to attend to.
One of the peculiar things about the
taking Of the census here is that Super
visor Keegan has had a superabundance
of available workers. while the general
run of employers have had to scour the
city for efficient men. Mr.. Keegan said
today that he had a list of 5000 men
and women from which to pick the 1886
needed.
Even in tho foreign district he has
succeeded in getting competent enumer-
ators.
Native to Work Chinatown
IN Chinatown the work is to be done
by II. H. Chew, Chinese student at the
University of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Chew
has arranged to make the count in Il
mcthodical and painstaking way. which
will save the other enumerators from
the necessity of going into the chop suey
places and talking pigeon English.
From his preparatory efforts there are
indications that Chew will complete his
work as swiftly and quietly as the best
of Mr. keegan's men.
Just when the work in all of the dis
tricts will be finished could not be told
today. but it is expected in Mr.. Keegan s
office that the last reports will soon be
sent in.
What Diplomacy Accomplished
Enumerators report that they have
met with little difficulty in their work
Nearly everybody in Philadelphia has
been ready to help them. The only balky
persons were found in the foreign dis
tricts and what little opposition there
was came from ignorance rather than a
desire to obstruct the important work
under way.
In one house Il man blocked the way

AT SOUTH GARDINER

South Gardiner, Sept 2-An, ey-
thusiastic crowd of Republican fol-
lowers gathered at rally held here
this evening where Col. Frederic H
farkhurst and Miss Mary Stewart of
Washington outlined their party
issues and the reasons why victory
for their party is assured at both
the National and State elections.
Tudor Gardiner, epublic ca n
nominee for Legislature, presided in
a capable manner as chairman. A
large percentage of the audience
were women, who expressed their
enthusiasm over the telling argu-
ments set forth by the speakers.
Miss Mary Stewart pleaded with
the women to take Advantage of the
opportunity to vote as Maine is to
show by her sentiment at the polls
in September the. attiMde that viii
be interpreted later in the National
election.
Col. Parkhurst said in part:
"On September 13 the voters Of
Maine will determine who is to rep
resent them at Washington during
the ensuing two years who will re-
adjust our tariff laws.
You remember that a Democratic
Congress passed the vicious and
sectional Underwood Simmons law
effective from Oct. 1913 to Sept.
1914. 1t allowed our country to be
flooded with foreign goods, closed
our factories and created an army
of unemployed. Its operation was
suspended in August 1914 by the
World war. 1t is just now beginning
to function again. Our imports are
increasing and the favorable bal
ance of trade that in June 1919 was
1898, 600, 900 dropped in June 1920 to
only S7S,000,000 and we face a food
OF foreign manufactured goods and
the inevitable unemployment Of
labor unless we have a revision of
the tariff.
1.-The doctrine of free trade as de-
could be bad enough if it were con-
sistently applied, but the Under
wood Simmons bill drafted by south
ern Democrats is sectional in its
character and applies free trade to
northern products and protection to
southern products. Within the life
of the Congress chosen this fall a
revision of this tariff law is inevi-
table. Do you want that revision
made by southern Democrats or
northern Republicans? Your answer
must be given on Sept. Is in votes.
You are charged with selecting your
representative in Congress and in
fuencing by your actions the result
in November.
You are fortunate in the 3rd Con-
gressional district in having in
Washington the dean of our delega
ton. A man of wide experience, of
proven patriotism. broad in his
knowledge of public affairs, devoted
to the interests of Maine and your

citation in Congress, growing in pres
tlge and completely fitted to main
