There were many gladstone re-

Mr.. and Mrs. Winter Russell Speak

Mr.. and Mrs. Winter Russell Speak
The opening speeches Of the cam
paign in this city were made Friday,
by Mr.. and Mrs. Winter Russell, I'M
der the auspices Of the Democratic
committees Of Gardiner and RAN
dolph. Mr.. Russell spoke opposite
the Hazard factory at 1880 and
Mrs. Russell at the factory Of the
Commonwealth Shoe G. Leather Co,
being introduced by E. l.. Good
speed, candidate for the House of
Representatives. Both were fluent
speakers and held the attention of
their auditors closely. Both are
natives of this State. Mrs. Russell
has an enviable record as social
worker in New York state and as a
lecturer. Mr.. Russell is assistant
district attorney OF the county Of
New York. Mr.. Russell was especial
~ magnetic and somewhat spectacu-
lar IN his delivery.
He opened by telling Of conditions
as they were under the Wilson ad-
minis.ration and compared them with
those Of the present day under Hard
ing. He characterized the d!sarn-
anu PSdCc
dismal failures" OF course he made
as strong plea as possible for the
election of W. r. Pattangall as a sue
CeSSOr to Coy. Baxter and urged his
hearers to vote for Oakley &. Curtis
for senator and Leon Tebbetts for
representative. He closed his adj
dress by appealing TO fellow demo-
Gratis to Ia Dor hard in getting out the
stay-at- home vote.
Mrs. Russell opened by saying that
politics were now as much the bust
ness of the women as of the men,
and gave reasons why the gentlcr
sex should participate in political
matters. Her appeal to the women
was for organization, as team work
accomplishes the best results in all
affairs, national or municipal She
said it was wrong for woman 10
conclude that her children and her
home should occupy her entire time,
and referred to the World War as a
lasting example of the claim of the
government on the boy, regardless of
the opinion of the father, mother or
even the lad himself. In closing, she
asked the women not TO deprive a
man whom they respected Of their
vote because of a notion that women
have no right in politics.
In the evening. Mrs. Russell spoke
at the South Gardiner school house
and Mr. Russell in the square at
Randolph. In the latter place, James
j.. Morang introduced the speaker.
At all places where they spoke the
orators held their audiences inter-
cstedly until the close.
