Last Meeting of Skowhcgan Pattan
gall Club
The Grand Army Hall was well
filled on Monday evening when about
one hundred and fifty men and wo
men gathered in attendance at the
last meeting of the Skowhcgan I’at
tengall Club.
Mrs. Lila B. Friend the president
most graciously presided during the
meeting and voiced the greeting to
the guest present from the club lad
ies.
The opening numbers were piano
duets by Mrs. Bose Borden and Miss
Rose Leniieux after which Rev. S. F.
Emerson in concise and interesting
manner told the meeting “Why He
Was A Democrat". In opening his
talk Mr. Emerson stated that every
man and woman when lie or slip pe
enmrs of legal age should affiliate
with one political party and told a
humorous story about a man who
gave a reason for being a Republi
can. Mr. Emerson said that he had
formerly been a member of the Pro
hibition Party -and that now there
was no need for that party and he
looked about to End the party which
would give the best form of Gov
ernment to the people of the T*. P. and
he after studying the conditions de-1
cidod upon the Democratic party.
Mr. Emerson spoke broadmindedly of
\
both parties and said that some of
his best friendships were among Re
publicans. He said that some had
said that a man could not be a Chris
tian and be a Demociat, neither could
he be a Christian and be a member of
a secret society, Mr. Emerson ex
pressed his mind in this matter say
ing that he thought if the Democrats
and the members of secret societies
were taken out of the churches they
would be small indeed.
Mr. Emerson extoled ex-president
Wilson and his administration. H>
accused the Republicans of continued
misrepresentation and mentioned
that women's suffrage and national
prohibition both came about durin;
a Democratic term.
Mr. Emerson also spoke of the
state affairs and of the expense of
repairing and keeping up the Blaine
mansion.
In closing he urged the Democrats
even if defeated this fall to continue
their work until wo have as we surely
will a Democratic president and sen
ate, and a league of nations and a
world at peace.
Mr. Emerson’s speech was followed
by two vocal solos by Mrs. Rosalie
Cote who sang "The Rosary You
Gave Me” and "Call Me Back to You:
Heart” and was accompanied by Mrs.
Rose Borden. Miss Rachel Conant
who this year will be a junior at
Colby college gave a paper, in the
introduction she quoted from a Reif.
paper of that morning’s issue, which
stated that the Democrats did not
expect a victory tills September anil
she urged all Democrats to get out
an l vote on September 11th and not
let that statement become a fact
Miss Conant spoke of the Newbury
case and stated Altai he was tried be
fore a republican judge and jury.
She compared the Wilson Adminis
tration with a republican senate and
that of President with a republican
senate and stated that he had not
been able to accomplish anything.
Miss Pauline Cloutier gave a cello
solo and an encore being accompan
ied by Mrs. Borden.
John T.. Fish editor of the Inde
rendont-TIoport''r was tlie third
speaker. Mr. Fish prefaced his ad
dress with a statement in which he
said there were two things which lie
was not and that he was not a politi
cian nor a public speaker. Tie said
that he should not assail Governor
Baxter for on tlie whole he felt that
since ihe death of governor Park
liurst, Baxter had filled tlie bill most
adequately. To the women voters he
urged a clean campaign with faith in
the choice of tlie people. Mr. Fish
stated that the women should never
have had the ballot according to liis
way of thinking and that they did
not need the ballot to bring to pass
great issues, lie bade a splendid tri
bute to the women of tlie \V. C. T. 1T.
and what they have accomplished by
their Christian faitli and persistent
work. Mr. Fish stated that one
should feel free to vote for who ever
lie chooses and for whom lie con
siders the best man or woman for the
office regardless of party, and urged
absolute fairness in campaign work
! on both sides. Mr. Fisli said that in
| our own individual lives and in tlie
; churches and in secret societies to
which we belong we have certain
standards or ideals and so we should
have certain standards in the politi
cal work and life by which we should
l gage our work in politics.
Mr. Fish said that women could
not he men's equal, that the could no
more descend to tlie status of men
than could the angels in heaven so
descend, lie urged the voters to re
member tlie golden rule and go to
• lie noils and vote and to have fai*h
in the choice of the people and the
leaders they elect as wc have faith in
the God above.
The last speaker was Ex-Congress
man Samuel \V. Gould, who as al
ways interested and also amused his
hearers. Mr. Gould stated that Mr.
Emerson had said many of the things
that he would oth'rwise say and that
he was not like Mr. Emerson in first
having been a member of the Prohi
bition party and neither did lie agree
with the last speaker, Mr. Fish in tlie
fact that the Lord had a hand in af
fairs political and if he did. he had
made an awful mistake in the agents ,
lie had hiul working for him in the j
present administration in Washing- j
ton.
Mr. Gould mentioned several of the I
founders of the country and their
wisdom which has stood the test of
all the ages, and especially of Thomas
Jefferson, who drew up the Constitu
tion of the T'nited States which
stands out as boldly today as 150
years ago and of its division into
three parts, the legislative, judicial
and executive and of its splendid
workings at the present time. Mr.
Gould also spoke of State affairs,
saying that he did not think that Gov.
Laxter nor anyone else knew much
about the affairs at Augusta and the
Republicans were not agreeing among
themselves and so of course were not
getting anywhere, and that nun
should be elected to office who would
agree on the’issues.
Sir. Gould also spoke of the tariff i
question and said that both parties
believed in tariff and that the dif
ference was that the Democrats
wanted only enough tariff to pay ex
penses of running the government,
while the Republicans wanted enough
to make many more millionaires. He
spoke of the exorbitant profits made i
on farm machinery and other manu
factured articles.
Mr. Gould spoke of several of the j
things accomplished by the Demo- i
1 crats when in office, among which i
were the Federal Reserve act with ,
which it is impossible to have a !
money panic, child labor law, Smith
Lever bill which sends money into
the states for educational federal ex
tention to be used to educate the

farmers, the vocational education for
the army, the good roads act and the
federal income tax by which it was
resigned that the rich should pay the
greater tax instead of the poor tax
payers and that the Republicans had
repealed this last act.
Mr. Gould said lie could not sec
why the poor working man would
vote the Republican ticket, and why
they would not stand up for them
selves. He mentioned the Skowhe
gan Republican committee and gave
teasons for certain people being
placed on that committee. Mr. Gould
stated that in Skowliegan there was
no Republican party but that it was
Clyde Smith aYid the Democratic
party and that here the party was
under tiie control of one mm.
Mr. Gould spoke of the women's
ballot and expressed his appreciation
of women and licit lie did not see how
either man or woman is to vote but
the Democratic ticket and be honest
with himself. He also expressed his
pleasure at the growth of Hie Rattan
gall club.
In closing Mr. Gould explained the
marking of the ballot and said that if
defeated again they would on the
morning after election go down town
and tell how they happened to be de- i
Rated and take tip the light again 1
and tight on until victory is at last
won.
The Hosing number was another
song, "The Trail o( Long Ago,” by
Mrs. Cote, accompanied by Mrs. Bor
<!• -n. At tile suggestion of Mrs. Fran
cis II. Smith, the chairman of the!
town committee, a rising vote of ,
thanks was extended by the club to ;
the efficient officers, speakers and all
who had in any way helped to make
the club the great success which it ,
lias been.
A social hour followed, with piano ;
duets played by Mrs. Borden and Miss |
Bemieux. Ices and saltings were i
served by a committee made up of
Miss Rachel Conant, chairman, Miss
Flvia Thibault, Miss Gladys Rowell. !
Mrs. Belle Merrill. Mrs. Jessie Bcarce
and Mrs. Ktliel Madden.
At the close of the meeting of the !
I’attaiigall club, Mrs. Francis 11. !

low n committeo, called a meeting of
the committee atjd discussed ways
and means to aid the voting on Sep

Prayers of Mother
Keturn Lost bon
Pasadena, Calif., Aug. 2'j—After a
separation of more than nineteen
ears, John R Small of Diddeford, Ale.,
and ins mother, Airs. W illiam Cornell
of 70 South Aleutor avenue, are soon
to be reunited. Small, wl.o is 23
years of age, lias been searching for
his mother for several yeajs. A
eliunee conversation Airs. Cornell had
with a friend and former resident of
Diddeford while riding in a street
ear here led to mail correspondence
and prospects for an early reunion of
mother and son.
According to Airs. Cornell's story,
her boy, then lour years old, was tak
en from her by liis paternal grand
parents U years ago. Airs. Small—
— her name prior to her marriage to
Cornell—made several attempts to re
gain possession of her son, but was
defeated in court actions. Then she
came West and remarried. Letters
to Diddeford remained unanswered
and she finally gave up all hope of
ever seeing the boy again.
Tiie boy, however, remembered liis
mother and when he became older
began searching for her. A few days
ago the Police Department here re
ceived a letter from him, in which he
said that a Diddeford man had re
ported seeing his mother on a Pasa
dena street car, and .asked for help
in locating her. The Pasadena po
lice promptly located Airs. Cornell.
‘‘I have prayed every night for
years that he would be restored to
me.” said Airs. Cornell, "and it looks
as if (lod has answered. J am over
joyed tliat Jack didn't forget bis
mother and am sure our long separa
tion will soon be ended.”
The mother's maiden name was
Kllen Windier. She was married to
Charles F. Small In her early girl
hood.
Minnesota Drops
Wet-Dry Issue
St. P.-ml, Minn., Aug. 2ft—The wet
ami dry issue has boon dropped in Hie
congressional contests thus far in
Minnesota for the November election,
because of yin absence of wet candi
dates.
All incumbents, including Andrew
J Volstead, have been renominated
on the republican ticket and all are
avowedly dry. In no case where a
close race is expected between repub
lican and democratic nominees was
the issue raised.
The republican nominees are: First
district, Sydney Anderson; Second
district, Frank Clague; Third *strict,
Charles It. Davis; Fourth district,
Oscar E. Keller; Fifth district, An
drew J. Volstead; Eighth district,
Oscar J. Larson; Ninth district, Hal
bor Steenerson; Tenth district,
Thomas li. Schall.
The sharpest conflict is expected in
tile seventh district, where the Itev.
O. J. Kvali . democrat of Benson,
probably will oppose Congressman
Volstead. Both are dry. In the third
district, Mrs. Lillien Cox Gault is a
democratic candidate to oppose
Charles It. Davis, republican nomi
nee. Mrs. Gault also is dry.
There are democratic candidates in
only three other districts and they
have not announced a position on the
