ELLSWORTH TALK

(Specia' to the Kennebec JournaD
Ellsworth, Nov. Elm an earnest
and forcefully delivered speech to the
| citizens of this town this evening
Governor Ralph o. Brewster urged
| that the people of Maine and the rest
Of New England be unsparing in their
efforts to render to New England the
things which are rightfully hers.
The governor was the principal
speaker at d Boost Maine" meeting
held here under the auspices of the
Ellsworth Board of Trade, a meeting
which was well attended and enthus-
| iastically received by everybody pres
ent.
Hiram w. Kicker of Poand Spring
and l.. c. Miner, representative of
| the Maine Publicity Bureau each
spoke on the subject of Boosting
Maine and Maine products during the
evening.
Governor Brewster's speech in part
was as follows:
THE rather ill-diSguised tolerar ce
with which the average business man
I views the interest of so-called poll
| ticians in primarily economic affairs,
| is Illuminating as to our past. is ir-
! ritating as to our present, and is in
| spring as to our future in the en-
deavor to achieve that measure of CO.
! operation with the business interests
of our section which Is absolutely es-
sential for us both If our State is to
realize that healthy growth to which
it is entitled by reason of it's natural
resources and it's traditions of indus
try and of commerce. AS one of these
so-called politicians it is a pleasure
! to be here today to testify to the very
enthusiastic interest of the State of
Maine in the projects which are pro-
| posed.
I'VE have been interest both from
the standpoint of government and al
so from the standpoint of self inter-
est in trying to introduce the several
elements of our population to each
other. 1t seems more than in any
other way that the political leaders
| in the several states may render their
best service by seeing to it that agri-
culture and industry and the great
recreat ional interests Of our section
shall put their feet under the table
| together and by unification prepare
| to progress. 1t is along these lines
with such governmental assistance as
/ 1t is proper and possible for us to
render, that we have been trying very
earnestly in the State of Maine dur
ing the last few months to achieve
our place in the sun.
! in the last five years our agrictll
tural development showed an increase
! of several thousand cultivated farms
! a very definite guaranty that the
/ turning of the tide has come. and
! that during the next % years, as we
add 25.000,000 to our population and
! increase out national wealth beyond
our conception here today, with the
! inevitable decentralization Of our &C.
/ onomic and social life. because of the
/ impossibility of increasing the
| growth in our great tiles. New Eng
/ land may confidently expect to come
| into it's own.
New England has its mission to-
: day as never before amid the eco
nomic chaos that seems to threaten
on every hand as we indulge in a
| seemingly mad material debauchery
preoccupied with the things of the
! flesh. SO it is that New England
stands as beacon light leading men
back to the things above the flesh,
and that in the next generation, II
America is to be preserved. it will he
to a material extent as a result o!
! the contribution which New England
! is once again privileged to make.
