II. (lore, nn (1 II. l Onrnett spoke to the Merchants nocintion InM evening upon the necessity of Med ford re puhlicnns standing together for Med ford's eiiudiilnte, ) K. Merrick. Mr. Anderson charged that Ash hind politicians nnil press were charging Med ford with everything that was had and that Ashland poli ticians were openly trying' to injure Bedford's credit and were making the iwie solely uon the prohibition to down Mcdford. "That heing the ease," he concluded, "it is emphati cally up to us to stand together for our candidate, a man who spends his money here and who has devoted hi .services to the community without one cent of remuneration." W. II. (lore told of open boasts in Ashland that at last that city had Mcdford on the run and II. C. Gar net t spoke for a united Bedford vote. "I am u democrat," he said "and can't vote for either Merrick or Dunn. Dunn is u personnl friend of mine but I want to tell you if he is elected he will never do one thing for Medford. If you fellows don't stand together for Merrick we democrats tire going to everlastingly beat you mi the fall." Aside from the political discussion there was the usual amount of rou tine business to be transacted. The dinner was served by the ladies of tho Christian church, and was very highly complimented.

The worst fears were there verified. Officials StuMficd. The officers of the White Star line hero today appeared stupefied over tie disaster. Vice President Frank lin became angered when a New York reporter not only charged him witu resjMinhibility for withholding the iiewn from the public and with muzzl ing the wireless stations in order to secure insurance on the Titanic and its treasures. "That's an absolute lie," he hotly replied. "You who make this charge know that you lie. I would not ad mit that the Titanic had sunk until I was absolutely sure of the fact. We are doing all wo can to learn who was saved and who was lost."
