4 Wsxniag to the Public

Secretary James F. Bagley of the
State Board Of Charities and Correc-
tions gives warning to the public
about a certain class of solicitors for
funds for certain objects as follows
THE public should be cautious about
contributing to the support of benevo-
lent institutions for negroes in the
South. There is very large number of
excellent agencies and institutions for
negroes in Southern states which are
accustomed to depend upon the sup
port Of friends living in other lcalities
There are also many worthless activi-
ties for negroes which are constantly
appealing to the public. The State
Board of Charities and Corrections,
through its connection with the Ma
tional Information Bureau, is prepared
to furnish reliable information con-
corning such appeals. People ap-
preached by solicitors should not hest
tate, in fact, should not fail to ask to
see the solicitors permit to solicit in
this State.
TO illustrate the point. A colored
man recently called at this office and
made request for a solicitors permit.
He presented what appeared to be a
very fine set Of credentials, coming, he
said. from his home place and where
his institution was located. I looked
over his papers and told him as we
tell all. that we would look him up in
Georgia and II everything was all
right. we would issue a permit. The
colored individual gathered up his
credentials. took an application blank
and departed. saying he would come
again after the permit. He has not
yet shown up.
I'VE communicated with the Ma
tional Information Bureau, whose an
swer soon told US that, letters sent to
the institution the man claimed to rep
resent were returned by the post
master. there being no such institu-
ton and tho letters to the mans ad-
dress. as given by him were also re-
turned unopened.
Il could give numerous similar in
stances of this kind. The public
should be on it's guard. We have plen-
ty Of worthy cases here in Maine"

NATIONAL POLITICAL
RIVALS WATCHING MAINE

New York, July 22.-Both Repub-
lican and Democrats are carefully
watching the political situation in
Maine. A complete State ticket will
be elected there, Sept. 10, and, ac-
cording to the old political saw. LAS
Maine goes SO goes the country"
In past years the State elections in
Maine have furnished the politicians
with a good line on the manner in
which the public throughout the
country would react on the issues
Of the day. and this year is not ex-
pected to be an exception. In addi-
ton to the State ticket, four con-
gressmen are to be elected.
National Committeeman Cup P.
Gannett conferred Saturday with Ma
tional Chairman Will Hays and ask
ed the national chairman to have
Harding make at least one speech in
Maine before the September cleo
ton. Hays could give Gannett' no
definite answer, but said he would
take the matter up with Senator
Harding after his notification.
Mr.. Gannett said he expected the
Democrats would put up a hard fight
this year, but that he believed the
entire Republican ticket would be
elected. Frederic H. Parkhurst is
the candidate for governor, having
defeated Governor Carl e. Milliken,
who ran in the primaries for the
third nomination.
Prominent speakers from different
parts of the country will be sent to
Maine before the election. to help the
Republicans in their campaign. It is
expected several of the United States
senator's and possibly Governor Cool
