ton. What he had to say about
Mr.. Harding, he told the audience,
was based on information given him
by an ex-senator and his remarks
about Mr.. Mellon were also appar-
entity based partially on hearsay.
Those two men," said Mr.. Gard
ner, "are responsible for the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law. Do you
think we are going to get an honest
and impartial enforcement? That is
the hypocrisy, the insincerity and
dishonesty of the whole propa~--da."
The Rockland man made a plea for
the rural residents Of the State, ask
ing that their burdens be lightened,
and he also made some suggestions
relative to Industrial development,
calling attention especially to the
water power problem. His stand on
that question seemed to be not SO
dissimilar to that taken by Governor
Baxter.
Mayor Drawn made q rafting
speech after he had got warmed up,
and he declared that the present high
rate Of taxation in Maine constitutes
a virtual encumbrance on every
home. He was especially vigorous in
his opposition to having the State

At the meeting Of the State COM
mittee members, 1t was decided to
name, q committee to select a larger
one to receive suggestions and tenta-
tive plans for the platform for the
1924 campaign. According to the
plan the larger committee would re-
port to the State committee, and it
is probable that the platform as ten
.tatively drafted would be submitted
to the Democratic voters for their
endorsement.
The committee which will pick the
platform committee is composed of
Arthur B. Packard Of Rockport,

her anchor was dragging and there
was no sign of the crew which prob
ably numbered ten.
The deck was Uttered with empty
cartridge shells and bullet holes were
located in various parts of the ship.
At the first the theory was put for
ward that pirates had overcome the
crew, but as the investigation ad-
vanced this supposition was eliminat-

ion that mutiny had been carefully
staged so that the vessel might later

become discouraged by the hardships
of rum running and abandoned the

The boat apparently was at
