ance committees will say, each for its
own road, whether there shall be
strike. President Lee said today he
expected to have the different COM
mittees in his hands by October 10.
Meantime, the officials of the other
railway brotherhoods, the locomotive
engineers. the firemen and enginemep.
the conductors and the switchmen,
were making preparations to count
the ballots of the strike vote now be-
ing taken among their members. The
count of these ballots will begin here
Monday. Reports from authentic
sources indicate strong strike senti-
rnent among the membership of these
other organization.
Shop Men Are Ready.
The 100000 members of the ieder-
ated shop crafts already voted to
strike in protest against wage reduc-
lions announced by the United States
railway labor board on July l. The
actual calling of the strike, however,
has been delayed until the attitude
of the brotherhoods become known.
The railway labor board as yet has
taken no action in the case Of the
Pennsylvania railroad which has de-
MED the authority of the board to
prescribe the rules under which it
shall deal with its employees. 1t is
expected that a supreme court ruling
to define the authority of the board
under the transportation act will be
sought but no move to this end has
been made.

This case caused much excitement
a>week or two ago, when Pearson,
after a series of breaks and larcenies

chief happened to be attending
grange meeting in the vicinity; and

Former Colby
Students Banquet
At Portland

Portland, Me-. Feb. 1.-THE annual
Colby dinner will be held on Feb. q
at P. M. at the Congress Square Ho-
tel, Portland. An unusual program is
being arranged and it is expected that
there will be large attendance. No.
tees have been mailed to as many
former Colby students as can be
reached, and. it is hoped that every
one interested will make a special ef-
fort to be present.
The committee on arrangements con-
sists Of Rex W. Dodge. chairman;
James Nichols. Spaulding Bisbee, Rich
ard A. Harlow in charge of decora-
tons. and George A. Gould, Chora-
gus.
An unusual feature will be the
presence of Charles E. Quincy, Esq.
president of the Maine Senate and
House, both Colby men. So far as is
known this is the first time that these
positions have been both filled by
Colby men at the same time. Presi-
dent Arthur j. Roberts will address
the meeting, together with represent
ative from the faculty of the Col
lege. 1t is also expected that there
will be speakers from outside the
State. William b. Jack. principal of
Portland High School will preside.
Another interesting feature will be
the showing of the moving pictures of
the Colby Pageant and other exercises
that took place at the Colby centen-
NAL celebration last June. A quartet

interest in their work during the past
two years In the school room. have
often been with them following their
work from time to time and am
clearly convinced that first hand
knowledge would tend to foster only
constructive criticism of the work ac-
complished. On matters relating to
the education of the child due to spe-
cial training and life devoted to
progressive education believe that
can render special service.
The efforts of a school board are
not made great because clothed with
authority but by the courage, indus
try and intelligence of those from
whom the authority came; namely,
the public. It is the public I desire
to serve in behalf of education. At
all times, / shall aim to bring about
a better understanding between pa
rents and teachers in behalf of effec-
tive child education.
My record reads as follows: Educa-
tion, preliminary schools of Fairfield.
Professional, graduate of Gorham
Normal training school for teachers.
Special work at Yale college, New
Haven. Conn.,, was as follows: Histo-
ny. Prof. Wheeler: literature, Prof.
Lewis; art, M. A. Won Skinner; physi-
cal culture, Anderson's private gym
nasium. Service: Taught in Water
willie North Grammar school for two
years; taught in New Haven, Conn.
public schools, two years; taught in
New Haven as masters assistant, two
years. Supervision: New Haven Dis
trict supervisor for two years. Dur
ing the World War, served as Ken
nebec County vice chairman of Food
Conservation, am member of Maine
Writer'S Research club of Maine.
In conclusion / wish to say that I
have spent no time nor effort in seek
ing this office I am not bidding for
votes with the promise of favors or
pledges. / am asking for a public of
fee. which to date has no declared
aspirant. You, the people of Oakland.
represent the power that decides the
question at the polls. If you think I
am better fitted for the task, it is your
duty to elect me; if you thing some
one else better fitted, it is your duty
10 eject the one who can most COM
pletely serve you. An employee is
never hired on his own recommends
ton, neither should the voters be
wholly guided in this matter by what
a candidate says of herself. One is
often prejudiced in ones own favor
and the evidence is not Trustworthy.
Voters. look up my record and then
in behalf of our schools, use your own
best judgment.
Respectfully submitted.
