Thursday evening on Grove street with
about 1900 in attendance. Sc4tts band

Stevens of Bangor. Democratic candi-
date for Congress from the fourth dis

liam +. Pattangall was addressing a
party in Corinnd. When he arrived in
Dexter he was greeted with much ap-
plause.
The principal part of Mr.. Pattan-
CALLS speech dealt with the Khan. THE
Khan issue has arisen" he said, mot
in the mind of any political leader, but
i'll the minds of the people where all
issues are really created. 1t over

Mr. Brewster is primarily candidate
of that organization and not of the Re-
publican party" He said that in his
dealings with Mr.. Brewster he had al
ways found him square and honorable.
What he had against him was the fac

that Mr.. Farnsworth, organizer of the
ku klux Klan was quoted in a speech
at Bath that Senator Brewster was the

FOR KENNEBEC BRIDGE
Especial to Kennebec Journa)

Especial to Kennebec JournaD
Bath. Aug. Ex-senator Ralph o.
Brewster. in his address here to-
night, indicated that he was heartily
in favor of the proposed bridge
across the Kenncbec river at this
point as a project not only which
would be beneficial to the adjacent
counties but Maine as a whole. He
predicted that the future tourists
traffic would make the bridge nee
essary and its development as a part
of the Highway system of the State.
He said that his record on the
project in the State Senate was clear
and said that the Republican plat
form as he understood it pledged a
conservative development of high
ways and bridges throughout the
State that the $JO,OOO.OOO left here
annually by tourists might easily be-
come one hundred million and that
it spread into every nook and cor
ner of the State BY developed high
ways of all classes. He said the
bridge was an inivitable and logical
link in the highway system.
Senator Brewster said there had
been a great deal of speculation of
late as Just what vote for him
! might mean and he explained that
in his opinion vote for him was to
continue the Republican administra-
ton in this State, and earnest and
honest enforcement of the Prohibi-
tory law and all laws. economy
without parslmony and referred to
the fact that in the district Of Neal
Dow, leader in the prohibition
movement, that Democratic candi-
date was running for congress on
platform of modification of the pro-
| hibitory law, and other states Will
watch him to see if Maine was going
| to uphold its record of sending men
| to Congress who were in favor OF
prohibition.
Congressman Wallace II. White.
Jr., made his ninth speech of the
/. day and pleaded TOR a return OF
Maine Republicans 20 Congress, be-
cause he believed the Republican
party n national party and the men
representing the State in Senate and
| Congress, IL defeated, would simply
hand over the craftsmanship of i'm
portant committees to Southern
Democrats. He disagreed with a
statement which had been made that
there was nothing to the election IN
Maine but State issues. One OF the
! issues, he claimed. was going to be
the question of individualism
against fraternalism in government.
Senator Fernald. the last speaker,
