This school was founded in 1924

Mr.. Sampson drew up. but knowing
the close connection in that section
of the country between the study of
theology and poor boys-well-to-d
young men rarely seemed to be at
tracted to the ministry--he declared
the purpose of giving the boy or girl
without means, a chance to attend
the school. The terms were aston
ishingly low. even for those times.
Tuition for boys was set at So cents
a week; for girls, IL 1-2. Board for
boys was 81 a week; for girls, 81 1-2
cents and for children of travelling
preachers, IS cents. Naturally ear
nest boys and girls for miles around
came to the school.
. For more than 100 years this
splendid policy has been held to
faithfully and today a very large
percent of the students are boys and
girls of small meanc working their
way through Kent's Hill and getting
q big value for their efforts. Some
accomplish it by winning scholar
ships, some wait on table and do 9TH

the farms, in the factories. in stores

earned.
Such conditions have always exist

usual deep love for their school that
graduates of every school feel, but
also a lasting gratitude for the OPP

entitle a man to leadership In the
Republican party of Maine as at
present constituted, they turned his
picture to the wall.
l am not discussing the wisdom Of
the Senator's position on the bonus
bill. That Is neither here nor there.
The Portland Club endorsed that po-
sition in 1922. am simply calling at
tention to the fact that the Senator
was not rebuked because of his views
on that subject but because he was
so innocent of the rules Of the game
as played by his party associates and
supporters that he did not know any
better than to keep his word"
Mr.. Pattangall discussed at some
length the proposition that party
promises and the promises of candi-
dates made during campaigns
should be scrupulously redeemed at
ter election.
"The Democratic party of Maine"
he said, "as a party and !, myself. as
its candidate for Governor have
promised certain things to the peo-
ple., If we are given an opportunity
to keep those promises they will be
kept. We have promised economy in
public expenditures. We have prom
lSSu TeVlSlOu Oh taA0S IN the interests
of an equitable distribution Of the
tax burden. We have promised to
make the various state departments
Of real use to the people SO far as
they can be made useful and to abolish
such Of them as are merely orna-
mental. We have promised to do
all that lies in our power to promote
the industrial growth of Maine and
to substitute policy of encourage
ment to enterprise for the present
policy Of repression which has pre-
vented the development of our re-
sources. We have promised honest.
impartial and thorough law enforce
ment.
We mean those promises. We shall
not forget them. We do not want the
voters to forget them. We do not
want to gain any votes under false
pretenses. Our party may not be
brilliantly led. 1t may be composed,
as indeed it is composed, of very
ordinary, everyday people. But it is
honest. 1t appreciates honesty. And
its policies do not and will not
change the day after the votes are
counted"

The members of the club, very

ported the Senator for reelection.
His views on the bonus bill did not
disturb them. They realized that
President Harding would veto the
measure and that there were not
senators enough who favored it to
override the veto.
They regarded Senator Hale's adj
vocacy of the bill as a political ges-
ture. q mere effort to secure the sup
port Of the soldier boys, a piece of
the ordinary campaign clap trap to
which they were all accustomed
They never dreamed that after the
Senator was safely seated for six
years and when the time came that
his vote on the matter really counted
for something he would persist in his
folly. They expected that after hav-
ing gained the support of certain
voters by advocating bonus, he
would turn his back on them when he
no longer needed their votes.
This was in accord with usual
modern Republican politics. There
was ample precedent for such action.
They had become accustomed to as
sumo an extreme difference between
the views Of candidates before election
and afterwards. They had read the
circular letter concerning the League
Of Nations, published in 1920, signed
by Elihu Root. Charles E. Hughes,
President Lowell of Harvard, and
twenty nine others. They remember
ed the promise Of tariff revision on
which their party won the election
of 1908. They recalled the ease with
which Governor Baxter changed his
views on many important matters
Immediately after the votes were
counted in 1922. They supposed that
Senator Hale was playing the game.
But he disappointed them. Two
years after his reelection and four
years before he would again come
before the voters for endorsement, he
did just exactly what he had said,
two years before. he would do. In
other words he was honest.
: That was too much for the Port
land club. His picture was turned
to the wall. He is no longer In good |
in Republican circles In
Portland. He has lost the confidence
Of his supporters. They had not re-
garded him as o great man; they
had not expected much OF him, ex-

they had no idea that he regarded
