FLOAT NEW POLITICAL PARTY
Socialists, Farm Labor and New York
Labor Uniors Will Enter Field
on Partisan Basis.

The American Labor party was or
ganized at New York, 236 delegates
in convention for that name. 1t is
made up of the socialists, farm labor
and labor unions of the city, and, ac-
cording to its sponsors, 1t is the first
party which has ever induced labor
unions to enter the political field on
a partisan basis.
1t nominated full set of congress
sional, assembly, state senate, judicial
and city candidates for offices which
are to be contested this fall in New
York These candidates will go on
both the socialist and farm labor
ticket as far as the ballots are con-
cerned, because the new party has
not yet been legally recognized and
so cannot be given a place.

ADJUSTMENTS
Jackie Cooean in New Play Today

"Peck's Bad Boy starring Jackie
Coogan, the siX-year- old screen
actor, will commence its engagement
of two days at the Opera House
today.
1t is the first picture that Jackie
has done since Charlie Chaplin dis
covered him and produced The
Kid" His work in that feature APP
pealed to Irving Lesser as especially
fitting him for the title role in
"Peck's Bad Boy" and, after making
arrangements with Warner Brothers,
the continuity was prepared espe-
cially for Jackie and the picture pro-
duced.
Critics in New York, where
Peck Bad Boy" was recently given
its initial presentation, have de-
scribed the production as an epic of
boyhood days. The picture is re-
leased by Associated First National.
In producing "Pecks Bad Boy" Mr..
Lesser took every step possible to
enhance the quality Of the film. The
supporting cast given Jackie COogan
is exceptionally strong, and the direc-
ton and settings have been highly
commended. After the actual film
ing was completed Mr.. Lesser pro-
cured the services Of Irwin S. Cobb,
the well known humorist, to write
the subtitles, and the complete result
has been accepted by the New York
newspaper critics as one of the best
comedies that has reached the screen
in years.
Among those who will be seen in
the cast with Jackie are Doris May,
Wheeler Oakman, James Corrigan,
Lillian Leighton, Raymond Hatton,
Charles Hatton ana Baby Gloria
Wood.
Monkey Bell Hop, snappy animal
comedy, Selznick News and the
Opera House orchestra complete the
smartest show Of the season.-Adv.

State House Chat

Harold E. Donnell, superintendent
of the Mems Reformatory at South
Windham. believes that one Of the
most important things in connection
with the discipline of the institution,
is to make it difficult for the inmates
to escape. There have been a number
of escapes, but sooner or later. the
prisoner is located and brought back
to the institution, so that it has be-
come a matter of general belief among
the inmates that even if they do get
away, their return to serve their SEN
tence is only a matter of time That
point was emphasized the other day
when a man who had made his geta-
way from the institution about a year
ago came to Mr.. Donncll md gave
himself up to serve the remainder of
his sentence. How does it come that
you came back?' asked Mr.. Donnell.
Il found that all Of the places that
had been accustomed to frequent were
SO closely watched that I was in
hourly fear of being returned to the
Reformatory and I thought that the
best way to end my worries was to

sent a telegram to William Is. Hay,
chairman Of the automobile com
mlttee of the kiwanis Club at Port
land, saying that the Governor and
Council will be glad to have a hear
ing on the automobile question.

the subject:
Several instances have been called
to our attention relative to the fric-
ton now existing between Maine and

monious basis?
