Strange Election News

Some strange election news has
been received at the office of Secre-
tary of State Frank w. Ball. 1t is
known to be incorrect but is none the
less interesting. If it were true,
Maine would be about to hold-on
Nov. next-another election-for
what we don't know and the source
Of information did not reveal. The
first installment of the news came in
the form of letter as follows dated
New York, Oct. %.
There are number Of men in the
naval service on active duty in the
80 Naval District who are DESTROYS
of voting at the coming election to be
held in the State of Maine.
viii you kindly advise the COM
mandant Sd Naval District illegal
Bureau, Room 416) $50 Broadway
New York, N. Y. what arrangements
you will make for the purpose Of
sending representative from your
office to take the vote of these men.
or perhaps you have some form of
ballot which you will forward to this
off1ce for the purpose of having these
men cast their votes"
Then came a telegram, dated Oct.
81 at Newport. r. l., saying:
There are approximately IS Maine
men attached to the I'd Naval Dis
trlct qualified to vote on Nov. s. IN
formation is requested by dispatch as
10 what arrangements are being
made by your office if any to furnish
ballots for these men,"
Eut one answer was possible-tbat
the lnquirers were in error in sun
posing an election was to be held on
NOV. in Maine. 1t is probable that
elections on that date in other states
caused the confusion. All the Maine
men in military and naval stations
were given opportunity last Septem-
Der to cast the State of Maine bal
lot: And by the way, very few of the
20. ooo-odd thousands awaited them
selves of that opportunity. for but a
total OF 1902 votes were cast in ALI
among them for United States sena-
tor.

HOWARD BENEVOLENT UNION
Legally Organized Saturday After
noon as rporation-Norman L.
Bassett, President

The Howard Benevolent Union of
this city, which has existed in the
form of an association for many
years. Uas legally organized as a
corporation Saturday afternoon, Nov.
2, at the Office of Norman L. Bas-
sett. Probably very few in this city
realize for how long a time the I'm
ion has been in existence. 1t was
formed Oct. 81, 1927. and has MAIN
tanned it's existence since that date.
1t has had a wonderful record for
charitable and benevolent work. This
work has varied from time to time
according to the conditions Of the
times, out there have always been
women in the community who, for
the love of the noble cause Of doing
good, have been willing to person
ally visit places where it was re-
ported relief was needed, see what
the situation was and prescribed the
relief. Their official title has always
been managers" and that name has
been used in tho organization Of the
present corporation.
The present board Of managers con-
sists of nine, Of whom the president
is one and the other eight are Mrs.
Charles F. Penney, Mrs. Charles T.
Penney, Mrs. Frank G. harrington,
Mrs. Dennis Donovan. Mrs. Thomas
c. Ingraham, Miss Nellie r. Moore,
Miss Marguerite Brooks and Mrs.
Charles o. Holway
Norman L. Bassett is president and
Richard E. Goodwin, treasurer. Miss
Marion Brainerd is secretary. Appli-
cations or suggestions for relief can
be made to her or to members Of the
board Of managers.
The old association had trust funds
which will be turned over to the
new corporation, which will become
the trustee. The trustees of the new
corporation for the management of
these funds are Judge Leslie c. Cor
nish, Samuel c. Manley and Percy
V. Hill.
The means for carrying on this
splendid work will be the income
from the trust funds as far as it
goes, but the important source will
be, as in the pas. the dues and gifts
from members and friends of the IN
ion. 1t is earnestly hoped that those
who have contributed to the Union
in the past will continue their gen.
erous custom. An appeal is to ne
made to our citizens generally to be-
come members Of the Association.
The annual dues are the same sum
Of one dollar. There should be a
large and permanent membership be-
cause many people in this town will
be glad to answer affirmatively this
simple question: Am 1 willing to
place in the hands of these we'll
known women and my neighbors at
least one dollar year to be used for
the benefit of the needy in Augusta. -"
Donations may be sent to either the
secretary or the treasurer.
