|G0RbACH WILL AID
 PA0NESSA SECONDLY Committeeman Must Be Shown First That Hanoran Is Safe
 SAY PROXY IS FORGERY
Paper Submitted By Mc,fahon Not Burkes Handwriting, But That of 8 Certain Individual" Halloran's Followers Assert Today.

If assured that the candidacy O. Joseph M. Halloran for congress vii not be affected in any way, State Cen serted this afternoon that he woult bend every effort toward placing the name of Mayor A. M. Paonessa or the state ticket.
 Committeeman Explains.
 Should the congressional commit tee, which is to meet shortly, decide to hold the first district convention before the state convention is called Mir. Gorbach will lend his assistance to the Paonessa crowd, since under those conditions the Halloran boom will not be interfered with, he ex. plains.
 The objection of Mir. Halloran's supporters to Mayor Paonessas as- piration to state office is that his nomination would automatically kill the chances for any other New Brit ain candidate securing recognition If, however, the congressional convention is held first. that matter will be dis posed of before the filling out of a state ticket is undertaken and Hal loran will have had the first chance at securing nomination, it is point ed out
 Anent the Proxies.

Numerous hot discussions along the main thorough fares were yesterdays features and in Halloran circles the. two proxies submitted for John Burke were the center of attention. That the proxy carried by John L. Ross for A. Cor bach and signed by John F. Burke" is the true proxy is their claim, while the second proxy signed in the name forgery in the identical handwriting of a certain individual" The sec ond proxy was carried by P. s. Me Mahon, who said 1t had been left at his hotel
 Effects of Convention.
 That the overwhelming defeat of Paonessa was not so much an ex- pression of desire to exclude 'ithe mayor rom control of delegation as it was repudiat!on of certain of his followers is the admission freely made by some of those who figured in Halloran's success. It has been shown that Halloran had absolute control of the meeting and could have his choices put on the delegations by selecting delegates from the floor, but a desire to run 1t in" to some of Paonessa's leaders s said to have prompted Hallorans lieutenants to demand that the pro- cedure used be adopted.

represented the college and made a
splendid address, explaining in par
ticular the methods which the alumni
council had used in raising the $780,
900 alumni fund, as an increase to the
college endowment. He said that un-
like other college drives there had
been no spectacular appeal to the
general public but that the endowment
had been raised by the alumni them
selves as a part payment OF what
each and everyone of them owed to
the college.
Mrs. Hilda Ives of Portland widow

speech as Skowhegan women have
heard in many years. At the close oi
the meeting those present added tc
their subscriptions to the endowment

ton intends to see to it that the grad
yates of this county make a 100 per

aimed for has now been raised and
therefore the individual contributions

c. p Merrill at the Savings Bank will
be glad to receive pledges of any who
have not been already reached.
