Lewiston, Me-, Aug. 2.-(SpeciaD-
One of the most important develop
ments of the present campaign, and
one which will contribute very strong
ly toward the success of the Repub-
hcan party, was the action of the CIV
ic Alliance of Lewiston Thursday
night, when it Endorsed officially all
the Republican nominees.
The French American voters Of Lew
iston have always been classed as
being with the Democratic party, at
least In the large majority, and this
action of a body of nearly 1900 voters,
at this time, has particular signif-
canoe. 1t has thoroughly demonstrate
ed the good faith of the Alliance, which
last spring pledged itself to return the
assistance given by the Republicans
in the municipal election.
Tho Civic Alliance, which was form
ed two years ago, and now has a
membership of between 100 and 1900
Franco Americans in Lewiston, is a
non partisan organization interested in
political matters and questions of gov
eminent. 1t has taken an active part
in politics in the past and expects to
in the future. It's purpose is to sup
port those men for office whom it be-
lieves friendly to the interests of it's
people, and best fitted for public po-
sition, whether local, state, or ma
tional, and to whatever party, Repub-
lican, Democratic or Progressive, they
may hannap IN hSionp
According to its rules it does not
namc any candidates, but after the
candidates have been named by the
parties, it indorses those whom it
thinks best fitted, and pledges itself to
them as an organization. 1t has kept
it's promises in the past
The Civic Alliance will soon become
a State wide organization. for it has
already corresponded with Franco
Americans in almost every place in
Maine, with the purpose of forming al
liances in these places, and the re-
suits have been most promising.
The reasons for the public announce
ment of support to the Republican
party, are best summed up in the re-
port Of the press committee Of the or
ganization, as follows:
AT largely attended meeting of
the Civic Alliance Thursday evening
it was unanimously voted to support

ScaIded in Vat Of Boiling Soap

Edmund H. Avery. better known as
Horatio Avery, met with a serious ac-
cident at the mill Of the Old Town
Wooden Co. Friday morning, when he
fell into vat of boiling soap in the
dyeing department. Fortunately, the
liquid in the vat was not deep and
Mr.. Avery was scalded only below the
knees, but it will be impossible for
several days to determine how severe
the burns are. 1t appears that Mr..
Avery was engaged on some work on
the edge of. or over, this vat used in
the setting OF dyes, when he slipped
and before he could recover himself,
had landed in the LIQUID.

The rural credit legislation seems to
be effectively shelved for this Con-
gress, but its friends are not quiescent
David Lubin. the economist, who
founded the international Institute of
Agriculture at Rome for world crop
reporting, worked for years in the face
OF great discouragements and tri-
umphed pictufesquely, has been in
Washington of recent days. comforting
on the rural credit bills. He has been
making these periodical visits to
Washington for decade, always ad-
vocating some reform. He works at
Rome indefatiguably, accepts his gov
eminent salary of $1,000 only because
he does not want to embarrass his sue
cessor or the cause by refusing any
compensation, but he spends the
amount of his salary and more in pub
LEFTY work.
The International Institute is now
well upon its feet, so to speak, and Lu-
bin no longer has TO come to Congress
with fearful appeals for funds. While
at Rome some years ago he began to
issue pamphlets in behalf of rural
credits for farmers. Specifically, how
ever, he Is for the Landschaft system
of Germany. BY the publication Of his
pamphlets which he has been sending
broadcast for years, Lubin has gotten
close to the farmers including those
who are grangers. His words are
widely regarded as gospel. He has been
the handspring back of the rural credit
movement in the United States.
The Senate banking and currency
sub committee, of which Senator Hol-
lis is chairman, has been working on a
fural credits bill, but without reach
ing definite conclusions. That bill was
submitted to Lubin and he disapproves
1t. He believes the government is COM
m!tted to the system without the erec-
ton of proper safeguards in the vaIu-
alton of farm lands and in the issue
of the bonds. Lubin is stoutly oppos-
ed to allowing private capital TO mo-
nopoiize the rural credits business. He
has discouraged many private bankers
and also state officials who have come
to him for information about the con-
duet of a Landschaft.
The fact that private capital and
that some states are undertaking to
do this business of loaning money to
farmers at a low rate Of interest con-
vinces some Congressman that the
federal government need not enter the
field. The operations of the federal
government have been increasing enor-
mously and that is especially true un-
der this administration. Federal gov
ernment is becoming an enormous in
strumentality but the schemes fer put
ting the government in place or pri-
vate enterprise and of state activities
are yet legion. The aspect of it all is
socialistic, beyond anything dreamed
possible a few years ago.

Passed
DEATH OF HOWARD FROST
OCCURS SATURDAY

Friday was the closing day of the
Hutchins reunion and a day most
pleasantly passed by the schoolmates

the Winthrop House for a social hour
and banquet.

a memorial service in honor of four
who had passed beyond, since the last
reunion year ago, George Page of
Auburn, Henry Fairbanks of Bangor,
Mrs. Flora Armstrong Branch of CAL
ifornia and Mrs. Hattie Mari Adams
of Brookline, Mass. The service was
simple, but eloquent, with feeling, a
fitting tribute to those who have gone
to the great silence. Letters from
absent members were also read and
formed a tie between the little COM
papy gathered together and those who
could not come.
AT ! o'clock a delicious banquet was
served. Twenty four We're seated at
the tables, including Charles File
brown and Milton Chandler of Bos-
ton, Mr.. and Mrs. Callowhill and
daughter Of Newton, Mass r. Alden
and Mrs. Alden, Mr. and Mrs. H. c.

Bonney of Auburn, Mrs. Juliet War
rem Of Portland, Mrs. Mary Cover of

Somerville, Mrs. Ida Reynolds of Cali
fornia, Mrs. Ella Folsom of Merri-
mack, Mass, Miss Luella Beale, Miss
Ida Morrill,, John A. Stanley, Miss
Alice Hopkins and Mrs. Retta Fair
banks of Pennington. After dinner
speeches and toasts were enjoyed ana
the afternoon passed informally with
music with Mrs. Callowhill at the
piano.
The reunion was very happy one,
though not as elaborate in arrange
ment as some of the former ones and
all present were glad of one more year
together.
