SAYS BOOSTER

II. W. Newton Tells How 1t
Helps Build Up the
Twin Cities

II am heartily in sympathy with the
movement for a popular boosters
club" said H. w. Newton, secretary
of the Lewiston Charleston Faip Msso-
citation, while discussing the launch
ing Of the club this morning. 1--WE
need something to create a home In
terest and a unity of spirit for the
promotion Of home enterprises.
"The idea of a popular boosters
club is getting at the bottom of things.
1t is laying proper foundations, the
cultivation of a receptive soil where
these enterprising ideas we are hop
ing to launch will germinate. The
bone and sinew of Lewistons growth
lies in the contentded and happy
homes of its citizens. When these rise
to the occasion and begin to boost for
the city a great power will be added
to the forces that are operating to
make a greater Lewiston.
Speaks From the Heart.
when the man who is himself q
home builder speaks It Is from the
heart. The man with the home acre,
and his small savings bank account
who is welded to the place because Of
these associations and is willing to
help spread the doctrine both at home
and abroad is a factor worthy of the
highest p]aes in promotion cam.
paign.
"The booster must be well informed
on the recourses of the country and
ready to give the stranger a hearty
welcome and to acquaint him with
what the country has to offer, for our
resources are not apparent nor easily
recognized.
Province Of the Booster.
1T is impossible for strangers to
visit Lewiston and go away again
and never learn of our forests OF
white pine, of the railroads that are
building to center nor of many more
of the valuable assets of the coun-
try. Here is the province of the
booster and the proposed popular
movement is to give every man an
opportunity by interesting him in the
general movement"

Stanford White, and charging that he

Thaw had beaten her because she
would not sign the paper?"
Attorney Delmas objected to such
questioning as not proper rebuttal.
