DEMOCRATIC RALLY 
Manchester Town Hall Held an Enthusiastic 
Crowd Tuesday Evening When the Dem- 
ocratic Cause Was Espoused — Sen. Scho- 
field, Rev. A. A. Berle and Frank Richard- 
son the Speakers 
The increasing interest in the com- 
ing election and the vigorous cam- 
paign now being waged all over the 
state, and especially in the Sixth Con- 
gressional district, was well empha- 
sized Tuesday night by the large 
crowd which attended the Democratic 
rally in the Manchester Town hall. 
Though the hall was by no means 
crowded the attendance, if anything, 
was a little larger than that which 
was out last Friday night to the 
Republican rally. 
The speakers were Senator George 
A. Schofield of Ipswich, who is 
opposing Congressman Gardner of 
Hamilton, Rev. A. A. Berle of Salem 
and Frank Richardson of Essex. 
Mr. Schofield was the last speaker, 
not arriving from Beverly, where he 
had spoken at a rally, until long after 
9 o’cjock. He spent most of his time 
SEN. GEORGE A. SCHOFIELD 
Principal Speaker at Rally in Manchester 
in answering the challenge of Gardner 
to prove his (Schofield’s) statements 
about the congressman. 
On the platform beside the speak- 
ers were Chairman T. C. Rowe of the 
Democratic Town Committee, who 
presided, and the rest of the commit- 
tee, — James Hoare, C. C. Dodge, 
Perley Parsons, Curtis Stanley, Chas. 
Danforth and Clarence Morgan, and 
Draco tioyt; theriatter” on? the 
1907 committee. Rev. E. H. Brew- 
ster arrived the latter part of the 
evening, and would have been one of 
the speakers if Sen. Schofield hadn’t 
arrived as early as he did. 
Rev. A. A. Berle of Salem was the 
first speaker introduced. Mr. Berle 
had spoken in Manchester on a for- 
mer occasion—Memorial Day, 1905, 
and he referred to this occasion, 
saying that it was exactly the 
Same spirit of patriotism that 
brought him here now. “One com-

AUTUMN REVERIES 
BY D. F. LAMSON 
The Ironsides were a rough kind 
of saints, and they did some rough 
- work; but such men are sometimes 
the only agents that God can use in 
extirpating abuses and _ bringing 
right back to the throne; for some 
purposes a broad axe is better than 
a pen knife. 
It is a comfort to know as science 
teaches us that every movement, 
however eccentric it appears, is 
under the control of law; that noth- 
ing is purposeless, that the tides of 
immigration, the currents of his- 
tory, the maelstrom of politics, are 
all the evolution of a great Plan, 
that through the ages one increas- 
ing purpose runs. 
The praise of injudicious friends 
or people who have an axe to grind 
is of little worth; self-praise is still 
more valueless; but a large amount 
of both is in circulation, and with 
many it passes as current coin of 
the realm.
