Klan Influence
Claimed in City !
of Brewer Caucus

Brewer, Maine, Nov. 19.-In the
Republican mayoralty caucus here
tonight Mayor John B. Stuart was
defeated for denomination by Alder
man Frank r. Cowan of Ward Four.
The vote was: Stuart 627; Cowan,
7S6.
The result was a surprise, It was
said, and was attributed to opposi-
ton to Mayor Stuart by members
of the Ku Klux Khan due to the
mayors refusal last spring to allow
the Khan to hold meetings at the City
Hall.
OF a total of nearly 1900 registered
voters in the city, 1413 cast ballots
at the caucus.

El asunto Carpentiie,r, , Sikh

criticar a tedas esas personas por
haber reclamado dinero? Els una
question discutible. 81, en- efecto, no
es aventurado tener por escandalo'
sas las fuertes sulnas que ciertos
'"tiburones" embolsan, no hay que oil
vidar que son profesionales que VI
ven de su ofcio, de un oficio al cual
deben consagrar no solamente todo
su tempo, sino tambien dinero. Por
eiemplo, la preparation para un
match cuesta cara: las instalaclones,
los alquileres, Sc pagan; los entire
nadores no reciben por puro placer
los fuertes golpes que les intiiJa
ael patron. Y ell manager, que
stiene a menudo los .dientes largos,
muy largos, mas largos a menudo que
los de su polio, no tiene tampoco
la intencion de vivir del aire.
Por otra parte, jcabe criticar al
vel6dromo organizador cuando recla-
ma su parte?- A mi yer, Sc ha CO.
metido una sola falta, pero una gran
falta. iPor que ha ineurrido todo

de proclamar que Sc combatir1a por
ell honor, cuando todos estaban bien

jar sino por ell dinero? 5Por que
esas fanfarronadas repetidas? IPor
que haber carecido de franqueza has

ia de buen sentido.
