Turner County Herald

The Nominee Is the Guest of His

Running Mate.

Portland, Me., Sept. 29.—At Rockingham
Junction Mr. Bryan spoke from
the platform. During his speech Mr.
Bryan espied two pickpockets attempt-
ing to remove a fat pocketbook which
protruded from the pocket of a man in
the crowd. "Look out there," cried the
nominee, "they are trying to rob you!"
In the ensuing confusion, however, the
would-be thieves got away. Mr. Bryan
later addressed a great multitude of
people in the large public square im-
mediately back of the station in this
city. The stop was thirty minutes,
and in that time the candidate was
given one of the most demonstrative
greetings of his New England tour. In
his address he said the Democrats did
well, under the circumstances, in the
recent Maine election.

Bath, Me., Sept. 29.—The party left
for Bath immediately after the Port-
land speech. Brunswick was the only
place where anything was said. Bow-
doin college is located there, and a big
force of students turned out. They
profited by the action of the Yale boys,
however, and gave Mr. Bryan an en-
thusiastic ovation. When the party
reached Bath it was driven directly to
Mr. Sewall's home. Later a big meet-
ing was held in Custom House square.
It was probably the greatest night in
the history of this quaint little town.
The entire population turned out to
meet the train. Cannon was discharged
and there were fireworks all around.
After his address Mr. Bryan was driven
to Mr. Sewall's home.
