ed funds TO help 10 elect Congressman
Charles r. Littleheld Ia Maine last
month.

can, as is well known. but he is one OF
those independent Republicans. who.
disgusted with Braytonism, desire TO
shake off and free the state from It's
incubus OF corruption.
He presided at the Goddard ratifica-
tion meeting two weeks ago in Infantry
hall, and because OF that fact a broad
side against him is published and, by
