If Senator Brewster, unsuccessful
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for Governor, is dissatisfied
with the results of the recent pri-
mary election, the laws Of the State
give him ample opportunity to pro-
tect his interests, Governor Baxter
declares in a letter sent yesterday
in reply to one received from Sena-
tor Brewster urging a recount and
propounding of certain questions to
the Supreme Court in relation to
home made ballots and disfranchise-
ment of voters, and to begin pro-
secutions for violation of Primary
Laws.
Governor Bakers reply to Sena-
tor Brewster is as follows:
THE Councillors and myself ac-
knowledge receipt of your formal
communication. The invitation TO
attend the Council meeting on Mon
day morning was extended to you
and Mr.. Harrington as a matter OF
courtesy so that you and he could
inspect the returns in person. You
both expressed yourselves satisfied
with our tabulation.
I'm so far as the Governor and
Council are concerned. the returns
submitted to us appeared to be in
order and no questions have been
raised as to their accuracy. More
over the public at all times has been
fully informed.
you suggest certain courses of
action for the Governor and Council.
We are of the opinion. however, that
if a recount is desired the usual
practice should be followed and the
candidate himself should request it.
He, not the Governor and Council,
should be the moving party.
"Any violations of the Primary
Laws of this State brought to the
attention of our law officers will be
prosecuted vigorously. You under
stand this cannot be done upon ru-
NOR or newspaper report, and If you
have evidence tending to show such
violations the Legal Department OF
the State will receive it and act upon
it promptly and irpartially.
"As to the alleged use of unlawful
ballots and Acknowledgement of vot-
ers referred to in your communlca-
ton. our Courts are provided to pass
upon such matters and there are
numerous precedents to guide the
candidate who believes himself ag-
grieved.
"In other words. If YOU are dis
satisfied with the results of the re-
cent primary election, the laws OF
the State give you an opportunity to
protect your interests.
I'm replying to your communica-
ton I speak for the Executive Cour-
cilors and myself.

Platform Group
Struggle All Night
Over MOOted Planks

New York, June 25.-(By a. P.)-
Closed in a secluded room on a side
street far from the party headquarters,
IL men sat down late today to write a
platform for the Democratic national
convention.
Admittedly they had before them an
all-night job and even they were doubt
full that they could produce a draft
upon which the contending elements
could meet on the one big issue of the
convention-whethcr the Ku KluN Khan
is to be denounced by name.
AS the committee began it's delibera-
tons an anti-klan demonstration was
in progress in the convention in Madi-
son Square Garden q block and a half
away. Despite this a majority of the
IL platform builders are disposed now
to report a plank for religious freedom
without specifically naming the Invisi-
BILE Empire.
Chairman Homer S. Cummings and
other members still expressed hope
that this issue could be settled i'm the
platform committee without a fight on
the convention floor and they found
some encouragement from the attitude
of managers for several of the candi-
yates and representatives of number
OF Catholic and other organizations.
Some of the opponents of the Khan
still were insistent, however, that
the question would be taken to the
convention unless the platform COM
mite, which must pass upon the
draft of its subcommittee of eleven
acceded to their wishes. Edmond II.
Moore of Ohio. and representatives of
the Minnesota and Wisconsin dele
cations, which have submitted blanks
denouncing the Khan by name, visit
ed the committee room TO make a
final appeal to some of the members
privately.
After the Khan the most trouble
some proposition before the COM
mittee is the plank dealing with the
League Of nations. It was decided
to take up the most controverted
subjects first in an effort to dispose
of them before the committeeman
had become fatigued by their long
hours and arduous labors.
Under this arrangement the league
question came up first and after an
hour and half of discussion a sub
committee of three was named to
take several proposals which had
been submitted and whip them into
shape for consideration. Newton d.
Baker, secretary of war under Wood
row Wilson, and a league advocate,
headed the committee of three.
The first paragraph Of the Clark
plank follows:
1T is of supreme Importance to
civilization and mankind that America
be- placed and kept on TIE right side
of the greatest moral question of all
time and therefore the Democratic
Party renews its declaration of conf
dence in the ideal of world peace and
in the league of nations and the
world court OF justice as together
constituting the supreme effort of the
craftsmanship and religious convic-

animals would not seem to come in
the province of university, State
or otherwise. AS a matter Of fact
experiments now are being carried
on at Orono upon several thousand
rats and mice, and 1 already have
stated that to me this does not ap-
pear to be work in which the Uni

boys and girls. That alone is of
sufficient importance TO occupy the

wise. Wholly apart from my own
