er. Mr.. Pattangall said that ''it was
very evident from Mrs. Schoonma-
ker's remarks that the policy of the
women of the Nation is to become
engaged to us but not to marry US. =
He then introduced Hon. Bertrand q.
Mcintyre, who told his hearers that
personally he had no political ambi-
tions in the world. He said we lost in
the last State campaign because we
did not get votes enough. The DEM
ocratic party is not dead, neither
have we surrendered. He paid his
respects to the efficiency of the Will
son administration and the weakness
of the last session of the Maine Lee
gislature and called upon the faithful
for better State party organization.
Prof. Frank E. Woodruff of Bow
doin College spoke of his political ex-
perience in the recent Legislature and
said that he had LEARNED some Of po-
litical party methods that he did not
care to see copied by the Democrats
of Maine.
The real sensation of the affair
came when MIR. Pattangall called upon
Dr. Plummer of Lisbon, who, with his
characteristic manI~r. at once attack
ed the shortcomings of the Democrat
ic party in it's past management of
State affairs when in their power to do
otherwise. He attacked the party in
no uncertain tones and said when we
lose all the time it is very evident
that there must be a cause. And that
cause by any party is the continued en-
croachment upon the rights of states
and the rights of individuals. He
paid his respects to ?Ie Public Utili-
ties Commission and scathingly at
tackled the present methods of State
taxation and said that he would have
the Legislature left free to tax as ii
saw fit without unnecessary amend
ments. He took up at length Legis-
lature representation and closed by
suggesting that ideas be presented in
stead of localities and urged the
Democratic PARTY to adopt his sug-
gestions when taking up its party
platform for future campaigns. Dr.
Plummer's discourse proved q slight
jar to an otherwise exceedingly har-
monious love feast.
The last speaker of the evening was
the POSTMASTER. Mr.. Pattangall who
urged better party organization, say
ing that they should adopt a more def
mite constructive public policy and
should get the facts before the peo-
pie by a proper method Of wider cir
culation through a weekly Democratic
paper rightly managed and Should be-
Sin at once to perfect their political
organizations in every city. town and
hamlet throughout the entire State.

tives of the train and yard service en-
ployes of the Pennsylvania Railroad

ers, through the announcement thai
it's members would cease work Fri
day night, keeps the industrial sky
still dark Many observers, however
found reinsurance today in the fact
that the days to intervene before the
strike becomes effective, leave oppor-
tunities for several available agencies
to tender their good offices in an eff
fort to bring the opposing forces to
the conference table again.
There has been no specific state
ment from either side that it consid-
ers the negotiations terminated and
the assumption is that all three par
ties are hopeful that one Of the 9TH
ers will invite a new move.
The government today issued the
following statement:
"In the event of the threatened ex-
tension of the stoppage of work, the
government wishes to make it clear
that they will use the fullest powers
of the state to protect the workers
who remain at work in any services
essential to the life of the communi-
ty."
The miners, it is learned, threw in
the faces of the triple alliance lead
ers an argument contained in the
manifesto issued by those leaders is
sued last week, charging the govern
ment and the owners with conspira-
cy to break up the trade unionist
movement. The miners pointed out
that the desertion of the railwaymen
and the transport workers at this
juncture would bring approximately
this result, for the alliance was gen.
orally considered the most powerful
weapon of the trade unionists.
eff the triple alliance is beaten the
whole movement is beaten!" was one
of the contentious voiced.

ficiated as POSTMASTER for the occa-
sion and introduced as the principal
speaker of the evening, Mrs. Nancy
Schoonmaker Of New York City. In
her opening the speaker said that she
such a goodly number of healthy
corpses. Z" The real reason for our
defeat last November was the fact
that we did not organize and get
back of our campaign. We must
have a better organization if we are
to get anywhere. Mrs. Schoonmaker
appealed for support from the party
of the National League of Women
Voters and in closing said that the
Democratic party must get to the wo-
men of the Nation and get them out

amendment to the proposed canon.
Bishop Lawrence, disclaiming per-
sonaI interest in the discussion. as
serted that often the most desira ble
persons in the diocese for the coun-
Gil were known only to the bishop
