Governors Devotion to Dead Dog Divides
State Against Itself
Rv NEA Service

BY NEA Service
Augusta, Me-, June 1.-THE august
state of Maine is divided against it
self over the matter of dog.
It all started with Garry's illness.
Garry, an Irish setter, was the in
sepal able companion Of Governor
Pelcival P Baxter. The dog and his
forbears had been in the Baxter fam
ily for 81 years. When his master
moved over to Blaine Mansion, the
State White House, Garry went
along.
Each morning the dog would visit
the Capitol, and drop in to see his
many friends in every office. In the
executive chamber there was pc
cal couch provided for him, and on
it Garry would lie for hours at a
time waiting for the governor to
finish his work. Then together they
would walk over the hills and
through the woods.
Some of the citizens thought the
governor was paying too much atten-
ton to the dog. 1t was undignified
they said. But then President Hard
ing got Laddie Boy, and they modi-
fled their views.
Garry became a veritable shadow
of the governor. He trailed his mas
ter wherever he went, even on rail-
road trips. He enjoyed a special per-
nit to ride in the coaches Of the
Maine Central Railroad.
The governor, bachelor, is an
ardent lover Of all animals. He spon-
sored the first anti-vivisection law
by legislature in the United States.
He recently made possible new bird
refuge.
my dogs and myself constitute my
family" he says.
Last September, Garry became i'll.
He was sent to Boston hospital and
given the best of care. But it wasn't
enough. The dog died.
The governor was heartbroken.
He ordered the flag at the State
House lowered to half mast.
Immediately came storm Of pro-
test. The state commanders of the
G. A. r. and the American Legion,
and leaders of other patriotic groups
called the governors action "ill-ad-
vised" and "unfitting." This was an
swered by the governors friends.
Il seek to offend the feelings of
nome" said the governor, "but l yi61d
to no one the right to act according
to the dictate of my heart. My faith
full dog, unlike many of my human
friends never hetrayad Or believed
ill of me-"
And so the flag was lowered while
Garry was laid away beneath a
mound Of earth at the foot of a gra-
mite boulder on little island. A cop
per tablet is imbedded in the rock
commemorating his memory. Soon
he will be forgotten by all, but the
governor.
Yet the controversy, growing out
of the governors order, RACES on.
Some say it may even mount into a
political issue

WAR"
CONTINUES IN
RIVAL ORGANS
Andrews Charges Failure to
Referend Laws to State
Executive Committee
NEW DRIVE is ASKED
Church's Answer Is an Appeal
To County Chairmen to
Enroll New Members

Ware between the North Dakota
Leader, "official North Dakota news
paper of the Nonpartisan League"
and John Andrews Progressive, b"
new Fargo weekly continues.
The "Progressive" charges the
failure of the league to file petit
ions for referendum of six laws of
the 1923 legislature, which included
the most important banking laws of
the session and of great Importance
as affecting closed banks, to the
league state executive committee. 1t
charges that the committee of
which w. j. Church is head, "laid
down" or failed to function in get
ting the 1000 signatures necessary.
The North Dakota Leader answers
by saying that just about the time
the people were getting busy with
the petitions tahe Progressive began
screeching, thieves, robbers, trait
ors, somebody's running away with
the League. Lock your back doors.
Townley ate the Courier News And
some of its snorting followers be-
gan barking, and while petition cir
culators should have been getting
signers they stopped Il week or so
to see who was being murdered--and
then it was too late"
While Andrews continues his war
on the state committee the state
committee is planning campaign
of its own.
1t announces membership cam
seeding is finished in North Dakota.
Chairman Church is sticking to the
Leader, and makes his
announcement to the county chair
man Of the league executive COM
mutees in that paper.
He says: "The springs work is
finished and the work we did last
to get ready for the drivers in
the counties for re-enrollment of
members, not reached by the or
ganizer in the drive last summer,
should be put in effect Immediate
ly."
The proposed plan is one adopted
at the convention here just after the
session of the legislature. The $3.50
membership is divided as follows:
to state committee for sinking fund
$3.50; to state committee for expen-
ses $1.O0; to precinct committee
$l.00; to county committee $l.00;
to North Dakota Leader $l.0O: to
National Leader $l.00.
The $50 sinking fund is for the
purpose of paying league accomo-
datiOn notes.

Officially, Gilbert is "undersecre-

Efficient, he is, of course. He
never signs himself Seymour Parker

He is real capitalist in conver-

Given the facts, however, in Fl.

functions with the precision and
nicely of an automatic machine.
Feed him the problem and out will
come the answer, polished, checked

Inside the department., Gilbert is
given the credit for having conceived
and executed the operation by which
the department has retired or re-
funded some seven and a half bill
lions Of short term obligations with
in the last fourteen months, without
causing ripple on the surface Of
the national credit sea. Gilbert is
bachelor. He doesn't attempt to
keep up any social front. He doesn't
have to entertain. All he has to do
is just work. And he does that-all
day long, and often until midnight!

FRANCE WOULD

GERMAN REPLY
Ready to Discuss Action With
Allies on Germany's Lat
est Proposal
STILL FIRM ON RUHR
Germans Must Agree TO Cease
Their Passive Resistance,
Is French Position

Paris, June 1l.-NO reply to the
recent German note is considered
necessary so far rs France is con-
cerned, it was said at the foreign
office this forenoon, but if the allies
desile to improve the opportunity to
resume general discussion of the
separations question France is ready.
A reply by the allies in common
it is held in official circles, would
require probably several weeks of
negotiations because of the impOs-
sibility of their uniting in an an
swer until they themselves came to
an agreement. The only united ac
tion by the allies now feasible in the
eyes Of France, it is, said, would be
common notice to Germany that
she must cease her passive resist
ance to the execution of the treaty
of Versailles. Afterwards the allied
would have the leisure to go over all
the problems if they were disposed
to do SO but France will insist that
if the discussions are renewed that
they proceed on the French condi-
tions as set forth at the Paris con-
ference.

boulisky spent all day Saturday in
prison, with members of his cabinet
although he was subsequently liber-
