STAND, SAYS OFFICER
(Continued from Pate One)
The people over in South Portland
have not forgotten how to yell. They
proved it Friday night at the Failing
school when Judge Henry H. McGinn
talked to them about the 6-cent fare,
about the repeal of the public service
commission act and about the city
council and Mayor Baker.
"The. Portland Railway. Light
Power company will find that there are
280,000 red-blooded American citizens In
this town who cannot be handled by It."
Judge McGinn told the big audience that
had gathered to hear him, and stood like
a yell-leader at a football rally, sub
merged in an ocean of applause.
"Franklin T. Griffith may be able to
fix the legislatures, the council and the
publlo service commission," the Judge
continued, "but he will find that he can
not fix the 280,000 people of Portland
whose coppers he Is taking away," and
he had to pause again.
"Good Laws Won't Save Ut" -
"The boys around the company's of
fice hays been smiling and saying
"Frank has put another one over on 'em.'
but this 6-cent fare outrage Is the last
one that he will ever put over here,"
Judge McGinn prophesied, and some
straphanger in the back of the hall
yelled, "You bet your life," and the au
dience voted with him with hand and
tongue.
"We have the befrt laws in the
world," Judge McGinn continued,
good laws won't save us,
