The Republican Rally
A large and enthusiastic audience gath
ered at the Armory Saturday evening to
listen to the addresses of the first Repub
lican rally in tile State and county cam
paign. The Belfast Band was in attend
ance. The meeting was called to order
by H. C. Buzzell, chairman of the Repub
lican city committee. Mr. Buzzell is the
candidate for re-election as representative
to the State Legislature from Belfast. He
began by saying that his first speech in
public was in 1895 at Hampden Academy,
where he spoke in favor of woman suff
rage and from that date to the present he
hau voted and talked for the movement.
He also asked for the support of the
women present as well as the men. Very
briefly but courteously he refeired to a
circular letter asking who Capt. Albert
E. Andrews, the Democratic nominee for
representative, was? He also gave a
brief summary of what he himself had
done in the legislature in the interest of
Belfast, including financial assistance for
our charities, etc. He also refared to
the question now fresh in the minds of
all, “Busy Buzzell’s interest in the Bel
fast bridge.”
Chairman Buzzell then introduced Mrs.
Jennie Flood Rreger of Fairtield, who had I
been substituted for Helen V. Boswell of
New York, who was advertised to speak,
but was then on her wav to New York to
consult a specialist for an injury to one !
of her e>es received in an auto accident |
at Ellsworth Friday night. Mrs. Rreger
is very well and favorably known in Bel- '
fast and was accorded a very flattering
reception. She is a genuine suffragist
and for 40 years has worked for the !
cause. She was chairman of the Fairfield ;
women’s Republican committee and if all ,
the State had been as fortunate as Fair- I
field every Republican woman would have
teen registered and ready to vote. She
realizes that there are many women not
ready for the ballot, but is doing her part
modestly and efficiently to bring harmony
out of the general confusion. She grac
iously acknowledged the fact that the
Republican party had always been con
siderate of the women and had been just
in naming them on their State and county
committees. She urged the house to house
canvass and private and individual con
ferences the only way to reach the ma
jority of the women. Perhaps two-thirds
of the Maine women will be found ready.
Some of the other third are sulky, indif
ferent or diffident. There are corrupt
men in both parties. The Republicans
make mistakes and admit them, but the
Democrats make them, do not know it
and won’t admit it. The women of
Maine should consider their ballot a
sacred thing to use in defence of their
home, their country and their God.
Hon. Halbert P. Gardner of Portland
made a speech that rang from beginning
to end with true citizenship and loyalty
to the Republican principles. He defend
ed the right of the parly to use a large
campaign fund, particularly along educa
tional lines and now especially when
women everywhere are asking for in
struction, etc. lie paid a glowing tribute
to the late Col. Roosevelt and also spoke
in the highest terms of the good his son, ,
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, is now doing
for the Republican party. He urged the
necessity of the restoration of constitu
1 tional government and condemned the
present idealism accompanied by halluci
nations. He urged the establishment of
trade relations with the world. He urged
[ the women voters present to use their
i influence for the Republican party in
; their efforts t; place property subservient
{ to humanity, health and morality. He
arraigned the League of Nations as a
’ dream of a disordered mind, where Eng
: land would furnish the liabilities and
! America the assets. He was interrupted
' again and again with impulsive applause.
Hon. Caleb R. Layton of Delaware was
moderate, dignified and logical in his ad
dress. He referred to the two great crises
America had met, in 1776 and 1861, and
said that she today faces an even greater
| crisis, Americanism vs. Internationalism.
He lauded the Republican standard bear
ers—Harding and Coolidge—as level head
: ed, conservative men. The speaker is a
. medical doctor and referred to President
Wilson’s abnormal egoism and idealism,
of listening to voices in the air instead of
the needs of the American people, whose
servant he should be. Wilson chose for
his cabinet only men he could rule, but
Harding will select men of judgment and
experience; while the “me-toos to the I
am” have been using only Wilson’s ex
travagant ideas. He derided a league of
nations with only four men settling the
destinies of the world. He urged the
women voters present to study and get
the facts and help prevent the threaten
ing national disaster. They are to vote
in the supremest hour of the nation and
should not allow any false sentiment to
swerve them from the right.
W ARD-PHILBRICK.
A very pretty wedding occurred at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Philbrick in
Thorndike, on Sept. 1st, when their only
daughter, Miss Helen Irene, was united
in marriage with Lawrence H. Ward of
the same town in the presence of only
the immediate families. The double ring
service was performed by their beloved
pastor, the Rev. David Brackett. The
bride is a young lady of pleasing person
' ality, who has many friends. After at
tending the High school of her home
town and Freedom Academy she gradu
j ated from the Maine Central Institute in
the class of 1911 and has been a very suc
cessful teacher until three years ago,
. when she gave up teaching to become
: her father’s housekeeper and nurse to
her invalid mother. Mr. Ward is an
honest, upright young man of sterling
integrity. He served his country over
i seas and holds an honorable discharge,
i He is a member of the Masonic Fratern
| ity and also of Harvest Moon Grange.
I The happy couple left by auto, destina
, tion unknown. They will, however, be
at home So their friends after Sept. 7.
The Democratic Rally.
_
The first public meeting of the cam
paign held by the Democratic party took
place in the Opera House Monday even
ing with an interested audience present,
as Hon. Bertrand G. Mclatire of Water
ford, their candidate for Governor, was
to be one of the speakers of the evening.
The Belfast Band was present and played
a concert before the meeting. Carter B.
Keen, who had for many years held posi
tions in the post offiee depa rtment a
Washington, D. C., was also present.
Mr. Keen is a resident of Freedom, his
native town, and is well remembered by
Belfast people.
Thomas W. Lothrop, chairman of the
Democratic City Committee, in a very
brief address introduced the speakers, re
ferring to Mr. Mclntire as Maine’s next
governor. Hon. Hiram P. Farrow also
i accompanied the speakers.
Mr. Mclntire spoke principally on j
! State issues and read and discussed prac
tically all of their platform. He opened
his address with a fatherly talk to four ;
little boys who were seated on the front
seat and apart from the rest of the audi
ence. He spoke of and condemned the
increase of the rate of State taxation,
and in his discussion grouped it with two
other issues, the road problem and the
school Question. He favors the election
of the members of the public utilities
commission by a direct vote of the peo
ple. He would like to have the primary
law re-submitted to the people and
thinks the bonus proposed for service
men and nurses will receive the sanction
of all voters and should be distributed
where it is most needed. It is an open
question as to how this money will be
obtained. At this juncture he urged that
Col. Parkhurst express his opinion on
these matters. Later he briefly discuss
ed the water power question and claimed
that his party had the lead in this. He j
appealed to. ail voters'present to sanc
tion Democratic principles in the for- i
ward and progressive movements. The
endorsement of Cox and Roosevelt clos
ed his address.
Carter B. Keen began his address by
avowing his loyalty to Waldo county and
Freedom, his home in particular. The
League of Nations was his principal topic
and he declared that it meant peace and
prosperity for all times. He attempted
to'convince the women present that their
privilege to vote was due to the recent
action of Tennessee, a rabid Democratic
State. He urged ail present to register
and vote with the Democratic party if
their judgment allowed them. He ridi
culed the United States Senate because
it had taken nine months to discuss the
League of Nations when it had taken
live months to draft it. After asserting
that he was not as partisan as he used to
be, he gave frequent opportunity for his
hearers to realize it. He read the entire
text of the preamble to the League of I
Nations, the section referring to the la
bor question, the systematic reduction of
armament, the manufacture of war ma
terials, article ten, etc., and complained
that it was not taken literally and in its j
entirety. He asserted that President
Wilson was not satislied with the League
as presented to the U. S Senate, but it j
was the best he could do in that world
consultation. He claimed that the per
sonal hatred against President Wilson
was the only thing voters could have
against the League. He rehearsed the j
names of nomination standard bearers,
condemning the Republican and com
mending the Democrat. His greatest '
j grievance was that during President j
Wilson’s illness the Republican Senators
; did not send him flowers and messages, j
or call upon him. Mr. Keen will use his !
efforts for his party this week in Waldo
: County.
Ex-Mayor ltdgar E. Hanson addressed
j the women of Belfast at a mass meeting
held at the Armory Tuesday evening,
i There was a large attendance considering
i the storm. The Belfast Band gave a con
cert before the address. The speaker was
introduced by S. A. Parker, who also
made a short address including announce
ments. Mr. Hanson’s subject was the
| “importance to the women of Belfast of
exercising their right of franchise and
their duty to their homes, city, State and
country.” In his opening remarks the
speaker said that he felt called upon to
; address the women as he could present
I “more facts in a given length of time
j than any other man on earth.” He in
tended to begin with creation and leave
it to the Lord as to where he would land.
Man and woman were equal in the Gar
den of Eden and with the assistance of
Tennessee are equal once more. He claim
ed that woman’s part in the late war had
much to do in giving her the right of
franchise. He had always worked for
and voted for that end. His resume of
war in all its horrors was vivid and at
times eloquent. He was glad to instruct
those who wanted to know present day
conditions and to arouse the indifferent.
He urged the loyal, intelligent, patriotic
and domestic women of our city to in
vestigate the candidates in both parties.
Hereafter the leading parties will not
dare t» put up corrupt men. He extolled
President Wilson, defended the League of
Nations, read and briefly discussed article
ten and its text, spoke briefly of the tariff
situation, condemned Harding as an in
competent, derided Congressman Peters’
recent speech in Post Office square, con
trasted Mclntire and Parkhurst, Buzzell
and Andrews, and said how he should
vote in the coming election. He said he
meant only the big men when he referred
to the Democrats and Republicans and in
no way included the rank and file. He
indulged some in personalities but each
time said he had no special or vindictive
motive in it. At the close of his address
he called for women to help get out their
Democratic sisters to register. Those in
terested remained to assist him in ward
work.
Wednesday evening’s rally is too late
to be reported in this issue. The speak
ers will be Homer B. Cummings of Con
necticut, chairman of the national con
vention at San Francisco, and Mrs. Hal
sey W. Wilson of New York. The Bel
fast Band will furnish music.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred V. Cottrell have
returned from Boston, where they have
been for nearly a year and were detained
on account of the critical illness of Mrs.
Cottrell. Her brother, Dr. Charles B.
Bean of Boston, accompanied her and re
mained for a short visit.
Fisheries.
In his discourse here today of the ques
tion of the establishment of a school of
fisheries in this State Col. Parkhurst
said, in part:
“The coast line of Maine, equalling as
it does nearly one half of the tidal coast
line of the Atlantic, lends itself to the
fishing industry and justifies the expec
tation that our fisheries could be greatly
developed.
“At the present time the average con
sumption of fish is 18 pounds per capita,
in Canada it is 29 pounds per capita, in
Great Britian 58 pounds. In Great Brit
ian a very determined effort is being
made to increase the consumption.
One person in every 80 in the United
Staten is directly dependent on the fish
ing industry, and yet in the entire United
States there is only one college where a
course in fishing technique is given. Ag
ricultural and scientific sehools abound,
but the fishing population is neglected by
both the State and Federal governments
At the University of Washington, locat
ed at Seattle, courses are given in the
canning of fish, in the curing of fish, in
the classification and habits of Pacific
fish, in the diseases and parasites of lish,
in he elements of navigation. A short
course in gas engines.
In Japan, whicn nas Decome ine lead
ing fishing nation of the world, a tech
nical and professional instruction of fish
ermen is regarded as an indispensable
factor.
“An endeavor should be made to es
tablish such a school in connection witlf
the University of Maine, aided by the
Federal government. I am assured by
Congressman White, who is deeply in
terested in the subject, that we might
hope for assistance from Congress.
“A t the present time our fisheries are
giving employment to 10,000 persons,
and the value of the catch in 1919 ex
ceeded $10,000,000.”
Eastport, Sept. 6.
Col. Parkhurst at Pembroke.
Taking for his subject the answering
of the big question mark that presents
itself to the women voters when they
pick the party with whom they intend to
cast their lot, Col. Frederick Parkhqrst
said in part:
I gladly welcome the women of Maine
into full citizenship. Their presence will
leaven the electorate and assure a broader
and deeper interest in governmental prob
lems.
As I have campaigned through the State
I have observed women everywhere keen
ly interested in the problems involved in
the election, active in their political par
ticipation and accurately measuring the ,
value of parties and candidates.
i urge upon tnem tne importance or an
early affiliation with one of the parties
and earnestly hope that they will choose
the Republican party and accept it as I
do as the best instrument with which to
achieve good government.
On the surface it may seem that the
problems of State government are non
political and unrelated to those great
principles that divide the two major par
ties, but you will, I am sure, find as I do
that when subjected to analysis, there
exists a direct and intimate relation be
tween State and National questions. It
is not easy to distinguish between cause
and eltect. We may not be sure in every
instance whether the principles of the Re
publican party have influenced its mem
bership or whether the membership is re
sponsible for the principles, but we know
that in principle and membership the
party stands for constitutional govern
ment, for progressive principles and for a
businesslike administration, that its mem
bership includes the men best fitted to
make our Government in State and
Nation measure up to the great prob
lems of reconstruction which have grown
out of the war and which call for wise
judgment.
Maine stands high among the States in
the Union in her educational system, but
it is our duty to develop sentiment that
will sustain increased appropriations for
the maintenance of our school equipment
and the higher compensation of our teach
ers. A liberal policy should be adopted
toward all institutions of learning.

We look for their return another year.
It is a joy to greet the returning people
of our own church. A great and inviting
work awaits us; may we all share in the
doing of it.
