reason for his reelection, asserted
that those who fail to register and vote
in the coming election are giving tacit
approval to corruption in public office.
and promised an honest. straightfor-
ward. intelligent and progressive gov
eminent" at Washington and Albany II
the Democrats come into power In No
vember.
Governor Smith mentioned the oil in
Nestigation and comparison between
the Teapot Dome affair and the leasing
of land in the Adirondack Mountains
to a private corporation by the land
board of the last Republican state ad-
ADMINISTRATION. The governor reminded
his audience that his administration
had rescinded the action of his prede-
cessors and that the matter is now be-
fore the courts.
He criticized the veterans bureau,
asserting that nothing happened for
veterans relief in New York until he
himself returned to office and recon-
mended and signed an Applicant ton for a
veterans hospital at Kings Park.
The Republican tariff. with it's daily
cXactions from the pockets Of the poor
to enrich the few men who have power
and influence enough at Washington TO
write the tariff schedules as they de-
sire them," received the governors
criticism. Under Wilson, he said. the
tariff had been taken out Of politics
and arranged on a scientific basis.
President Coolidge instead OF being
the strong, silent leader he is popu-
larly believed to be, he is weak, vacil-
lating officer of tho government. unable
to lead his own party or make n de-
cision in his own mind" Smith charg-
ed. To prove his contention Governor
Smith cited the failure of the Mellon
tax reduction bill to pass Congress
after President Coolidge had approved
it. and the action on the Japanese ex-
clusion bill and the bill increasing the
pay of postal employees.
Despite promises to bring the coun-
try back to normalcy, affairs at home
and abroad are as bad as they were
four years ago. and perhaps little
worse at home. according to the gov
ernor.
At the same time. he continued. n
Democratic administration at Albany
has succeeded in improving the condi-
ton of the people, reorganized the gov
eminent, bringing it closer to the peo-
pie and instituting many progressive
measures.

William NJ Butler. chairman of the
Republican National Committee had
charged that n coalition existed be-
tween the LaFollette and Davis peo-
pie.
Il think somebody is consulting
his fears for his facts" he contin-
ued. Perhaps. the Republican head
quarters is getting the same reports
from the west that we are receiving,
but I see no combination on the part
OF the leaders We see the inevita-
ble result of the fact that Wall street
has named both Republican and
Democratic candidates. What is
the natural consequence other than
that the progressives Of both par
ties must get. together behind La

USE OIL BURNERS
HITS COAL TRADE
IN new ENGLAND
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

Washington. y. c.. Oct. New Eng
land retail coal dealers are suffering
from more widespread use of oil
burners. says the Department of Com
merce in statement on the coal stu
alton in the northeast. Department 81
fcials consider this one of the reasons
for indifference on the part of house
holders in the purchase Of anthracite
coal this summer. rs we'll as an appar-
ent falling off In the amount of coal
shipments to New England during the
first eight months of this year.
No information about when and how
the New England public stocks itself
with oil for fuel is available. but it is
believed that this commodity Is bought
from time to time at any season of the
year that II is needed. How much of
an effect this competition will have on
the coal business throughout the coun-
try can not be determined. but the New
England situation is good indication
that the anthracite trade can no longer
have full sway in solving the house
heating problem.
Deliveries Of anthracite to New
England residences have been very
slight during the past few weeks, the
statement shows. In fact. during the
first eight months of this year but
106.576 cars Of anthracite were ship
ped by rail to the New England
sta.es as compared with 127,o57
cars during the corresponding period
last year. The falling off In August
shipments Is particularly notewor-
thy, the comparative figures being
l4.41c this August and 1875 last.
Retail Dealers yards are well
stocked" says the department an
fact most of them are overstocked
with all domestic sizes except stove.
which continues to be scarce The
far-sighted retailer Is looking for
ward to a shortage period this fail.
as anthracite production has dropped
of and We believe that retailers In
New England will have their storage
capacity at 100 per cent when cold
weather comes"
An entirely different situation ex-
lists in the bituminous market in the
New England states The depart
uent declares that the price Is gen.
orally lower there than It has been
for some time. 1t being from 10 TO s5
cents a ton lower than II was so
days ago. Still the shipments Of BIZ
luminous coal to New England have
fatlen off appreciate. From Janu-
,ary through August this year ship
ments amounted to $780, cars while
during the corresponding period
year ago they totallsd 1882 cars.

BUTLER CHARGES
PACT LAFQLLETTE
AND DAVIS FURCES

Washington, Oct. "A coalition
between Democratic and LaFollette
forces, particularly in western states,
with the evident purpose to force
the election of a pro Sldent into con-
Sress, was charged here today by
william NJ. Butter, captain of the
Republican National Committee.
The logical outcome, in the event
the election were thrown into con-
gress, Mr.. Butler added. would be
the election of Il president by the
senate. For this reason, he said, he
considered Charles w. Bryan, DEM
ocratic candidate for vice president.
perhaps the most important oppo-
nent of President Coolidge.
AT the same time the chairman
predicted the decisive election of
the Republican ticket on Nov. 4.
Mr.. Butler. with Senator McCor-
mack, of Hines. conferred with
President Coolidge ct luncheon to-
day at the White House. Mr.. But
Ter said he went over the general po-
litical situation with the president
and reiterated that he did not be-

throughout the campaign.
cally into the evidence which he said
he had received of a coalition. 1t
was more or less on the surface he
said. and was evident in the east in
some sections as we'll as in the west.
Characterizing Mr.. Bdyan as Il
presidential candidate, Mr.. Butler
ranked Senator LaFoliette next to
the Democratic vice presidential
rominee as the strongest opponent OF
the president and John w. Davis,
Democratic nominee. last.
The committee chairman was en-
thusiastic over what he described as
an improvement in the party's sit
uation in some of the states in the
northwest and added that there was
q marked recession noticeable in
the LaFollette movement in several
states"
Likewise. Mr.. Butler said plans
were under way to intensity the Re-
publican campaign between now and
election. The character and record
of President Coolidge, he said. would
be emphasized and this he declared
was the major issue of the campaign
along with the proposal to limit the
powers of the supreme court which
he said President Coolidge would
not sanction.
