BOWDO|N MUCH
INTERESTED IN
THE ELECTION

Brunswick. Me-, Nov. 9.-(SpeciaD.-
Students and members of the faculty
Of Bowdoin College are all wrought up
over the awaited outcome of the elec-
ton. Not within the memory of many
of the older professors has the college
shown such lively and spirited inter-
est in a national campaign.
For weeks before the election parti-
san clubs were formed in the interest
of Hughes and Wilson, and every eff
fort was made to get eligible students
to vote. But now the spirit is at a
higher pitch and football dope is
thrown to the. winds as everybody at
the fraternity houses and in the class
rooms discusses the latest political bull
letin.
The college gets its news by wireless.
Bulletins are sent out by the govern
ment every hour, and the little obser-
vatory where the instruments are set
up is continually crowded with eager
students anxious for the latest report.
Two skilled student operators are re-
ceiving the bulletins. They are Louis
A. Burlcigh, Jr., of Augusta, and Noel
Little Cf Brunswick.

Wants Court to
Confirm Divorce
Granted in 1882

In order to make her eligible to draw
government pension as a civil war vet
eran's widow Mrs Bettie Smith, resi-
dent OF California. wife Of the late
Albert c. smith. has filed a petition In
district court to now secure formal
decree as of date 1850, affirming
divorce which her husband secured then
from his first wife, Mary A. smith.
II appears that Smith was granted
such divorce by default in 1889, but
through an oversight the formal decree
was never signed by Judge James w.
Savage, and was never entered in the
journal of the clerk of the court. Smith
then married again and lived with his
second wife for over thirty years until
his death
When the second wife. the present Mrs.
Lettie Smith. sought to secure PEN
sion she was unable to do so. as no sat
isfactory court record could be furnished
proving that formal decree of divorce
from his first wife was ever granted
Mr.. Smith. So in order 10 clear up the
marital status of the late Mr.. Smith and
prove that Mrs. Lettie Smith was his
lawful wife the present petition has been
brought for a ''nunc pro tune" decree,
that is. a decree now, as OF the date OF
the original divorce.
