others from the surrounding towns
in the Kennebec valley are planning
to go to Portland on next Wednes-
day. March %. where in the City
Hall auditorium on that evening. the
Boston Symphony Orchestra will ap-
pear for concert engagement. Con-
siderable interest in all sections of
the State, has been manifest since
the announcement that Pierre Mon
teaux was to bring the symphony to
Portland for what will be the con-
ductor's farewell appearance.
Pierre Monteaux became conduc-
tor of the Boston Symphony nearly
five years ago, a fine interpreter OF
the faIorite symphonic master
pieces of long standing. which OF
course have their due preponSerance
upon his programs. he is likewise
veritable prophet of the music of the
present day. His programs there
fore abound in interest and variety
and the program which the illus
trious French conductor has pre-
pared for his farewell appearance
in Portland is beautiful and strik-
ing to the highest degree.
The principal number will be the
first symphony of Brahms i'll e

Houghton, Americas Ambassador to
Germany. Bishop Joseph Busch pre-
sided and introduced Mr.. Houghton
who for an hour and thirty minutes,
thrillingly recounted the terrible ex-
periences which Germaney had under
gone since the close of the war. The
only political reference made by the
speaker was when he stated the
clouds were breaking away and the
German citizen was taking a new hold
on life. He said this was made pos
sible by the Dawes Reparation Act.
He said the people of Germany had
great confidence in the wisdom and
big heart of President Calvin Cool
ide and urged his audience to vote to
retain him as chief executive. The
Sank Centre delegation hearing this
great address were greatly impressed
with the facts brought out by Mr..
Houghton.

Franklin K. Ellsworth Sings
Hymn Of Hate Wednesday
Former Congressman Has Every Ear
Mark of Political Sore Head
Wallops Republicans

Franklin K. Ellsworth, for six
years a member of Congress from the
Second Minnesota district as Re
publican, addressed a handful of
citizens, corner of Main and Third
street, Wednesday afternoon in the
interest of the Farmer-Labor ticket.
The Herald has all the respect in the
world for anyone who is conscien-
tious supporter of any political party
but it is impossible for us to place
much credence in the rawlings of a
sore head.
Before he retired from Congress,
six years ago, Mr.. Ellsworth became
an active candidate for the Republic
can nomination for governor, and at
every primary election since that
time up to and including last June,
he filed as Republican candidate
for governor.
In his Wednesday afternoon
speech he sung the hymn of hate lust
lily. Everything that was bad in the
country was charged to the Republic
cans, but the Democratic party were
given side wallop or two, Robert
M. LaFollette was held up as the po-
litical savior of the world. Mr..
Ellsworth was too busy, however,
abusing the Republican party, to
tell how Mr.. LaFollette was to work
the great miracle.
Judging by comments after the
speech, great majority of those who
heard Mr.. Ellsworth were not great
ly impressed with his sincerity and it
was quite generally expressed that in
stead of injuring the candidacy of
| Mr.. Coolidge, he made votes for him.
