Nelson's Statement

Hon. John T.. Nelson of Augusta.
member of Congress from the Third
District of Maine, being questioned
Thursday regarding Governor Bax-
ter's decision, gave out the following
statement declaring that he will not
be candidate for the Office of gov.
ernOr:
Il appreciate the kindly scnti-
ments OF those who have of late sug-
EeSted that | become Il candidate for
the Office of governor of Maine. 1t
is d position of great honor and re-
sponsibility. but / feel that 1t is not
for me, and that my duty lies else
where. My ambition has always been
to serve Maine as Member of Con-
gress, and to accomplish something
of good for the state and her people.
My ambition has never changed and
my purpose is serious. / can never
forget the unselfish friendship of the
men and women who elected me in
this district. / know that they eX-
pected me to remain in Congress a
sufficient time to become of real SER
vice as a legislator.
There was never a greater need of
staunch Republicans in Congress
than there is today; never a clearer
call for wise legislation to relieve the
pressing burdens of the taxpayer,
never q greater opportunity for pub
lie service. Having served a noviti-
ate, and acquired some knowledge of
the methods of Congress and legis-
lation. and obtained an important
committee appointment, feel 1t my
duty to make good in my present po-
sition- I owe it to my constituents
and I owe it to myself. / enjoy
the work and am, perhaps, better
fitted for it than any other public
service.
note with interest that Governor
Baxter will not be candidate for
| reelection. He will leave office with
the confidence, respect, and graft
tude of the people of this state. ir-
respective of party. He has set an
example of honesty. fearlessness. in
dependence, and devotion to duty
| that will challenge the best efforts
| of his successor. Who that success
sor will be, do not know. except
that he will be a Republican. ana
| that / shall take much pleasure, this
/ fall, in working for his success. AS
forj myself, I am not. and could not
be a candidate for the Office"

While it is true that American
made vacuum tubes are expensive, as
compared with European tubes, the
fact remains that our tubes are far
more desirable than the usual run
of European tubes. Our tubes have
better and neater construction and
they ruin more uniform as regards
performance. In fact. for a given
degree of amplification, it will be
found that less American tubes will
be required to do the same work than
If European tubes were used.

teriaed by many sporting writers as
the greatest basketball player of all
time"
would say that the two-handed pass is
the correct method of passing a basket
ball. The one-handed pass can be made
longer and sometimes with the greater
force, but this advantage is easily
overcome.
First Of all, would say that lob"
or dropping" pass is practical so few
times in a game that we will assume
all passes made .on direct line.
1t seems to me that a two-handed
pass is much more accurate, can be
made much quicker and the player is
lot more secure in possession of the
ball at the time of passing. With this
pass the ball can be received and pass
ed in practically the same motion.
This pass is very easily mastered
and is made with the ball secure in
both hands, passed from the chest with
wrist and elbow motion together
with a slight motion forward TO get
the weight Of the body back of the
pass.

much "raw stuff"
The Antelope team had intended
plaving a number of games out on

owing to being crippled up from the
Bainville game they were forced to
abandon their plans and return home
the following morning, so said one OF
the Antelope players to a representa-

half of the game Antelope was forced
70 omit on account of some Of their
PLAYERS being knocked out" and the
