Parking Complaints
Automobiles Front
Stores on Main Street

One of the business concerns on
Main street endeavors to keep the park
ing space in front of it's establishment
as clear as possible in order that it's
teams may drive up in front and load
and unload. and for customers to do the
same. AS this space is a part of the
street of course they have no right to
put up mo parking" signs. but they
courteously request autoists to move
II the drivers happen to be present.
According to the proprietor of the es-
Establishment one of his customers from
che of the summer camps was in the
habit of complaining to him that he
could never get a chance to drive his
car up near enough to unload. He de-
clared that all autoists ought to be for
hidden to park there except for bust
ness purposes. Finally morning
came when he was able to drive up to
the door and unload. He left his car
there and some two or three hours
later came back and drove it away.
Evidently he thought the law should
have special clause in it applying to
parking privileges for his car
The parking rules in Waterville are
very lenient in comparison to many
cities. The signs at the city en-
frances really mean that travellers are
welcome to the city and. providing
they keen within the parking lines,
they can leave their autos. But there
seems to be more or less abuse of the
privilege. One storekeeper on Main
street who leaves his car in front of
his store all day long objected to the
police that a man was in the habit of
parking his car in front of his store
for long periods of time. He seemed
to think that his store lot extended
into the main street.

Sees Small Advantage
NHAl

the house of representatives the
nominee and the committeeman
greeted each other affectionately as
Dan" and John" and chatted for
n few minutes near the steamboat
landing before driving to the home of
Frank l.. Polk for luncheon and a
political discussion.
Mr.. McGillicuddy brought to Mr..
Davis a slightly less optimistic view
than the nominee had received from
other party leaders of Maine who had
called on him. He declared that aft
er all there was no escape from the
fact that Maine is a strong Republi-
can state and seemed dubious that
the threatened split in the Republic
can ranks on the Ku Klux Khan is
sue would have very material ef-
feet on the general result in the
State.
Aside from the situation in Maine,
general conditions in New England
came into the discussion. A number
or leaders in this section desire that
Mr. Davis open his campaign Down
East" in the belief that his early ap-
pearance in this field will be valuable
in increasing what they now regard
as good prospects of victory in
November in several New England
states.
Leaving the home of Charles Dana
Gibson, Wednesday. in a speed boat,
Mr.. Davis plans to reach Rockland
in time for a reception which Demo-
cratic leaders of Knox county have
arranged for him in the public square
at Rockland. He probably will speak
only briefly and then only in appre-
cietion of the honor done him.

Conservative Demo.
Continued from PAGE Onel

Democratic party in the east has been
affected very detrimcntally by its con-
Ncntion, the choice of its nominees and
by the Lafollette movement" he said
in summing up these observations.
The conservative Democrats and con-
ServatiVe voters of this section do not
intend to take any chances which will
throw the election in the House and
possibly make Charles w. Bryan presi-
dent. Therefore they are going to vote
for Coolidge"
A somewhat similar view was taken
hy Senator Watson of Indiana, a MEM
Der of the Republican national cam
paign committee. who, after a confer
cnce with Senator Moses, issued a
statement saying that ''as careful an
analysis of the situation as can be
made at this time leads to the conclu-
sion that the presidential race is be-
tween Coolidge and Bryan; for. if Cool
idge and Dawes be not elected in No
vember, Bryan is quite likely to be
chosen by the Senate later on"
Mr.. Coolidge was given surveys of
the political situation in Missouri by
Senator Spencer of that state, and of
conditions in the southwest by Senator
Cameron of Arizona. Secretary Slemp
returning from weekend trip to New
York, where he was the guest of Fred
c. Hicks, manager of the Republican
eastern headquarters, reported on the
progress being made toward opening
these headquarters and getting the
campaign under way in the east.
Senator Spencer after his conference
with Mr.. Coolidge issued statement
in which he said that there was every
indication in Missouri that Senator La
toilette will take much larger per-
centage of votes from the Democrats
than from the Republicans" and that
his colleague, Senator Reed. was fac
tor determining to no inconsiderable
extent the fortunes of the Democrats.
Senator Reed, who is always a fac
tor of strength 10 be reckoned with in
Missouri politics, has announced that
he is waiting 10 see the definite position
of Mr. Davis on the league of nations"
Senator Spencer said. ut will he inter-
cSting 10 read what Mr.. Davis does say
on the subject in view of his strong
approval of the league of nations in
times past
The is states in which the Republic
its campaign for Republican candi-
dates for Senate seats were listed by
Chairman Moses as follows:
Maine. Massachusetts, New Hamp-
shire, Rhode Island, New jersey, ILL
nois, Delaware. West Virginia, Nebras-
ka, Iowa. Michigan. Montana, Colorado
1.-TWO scats), Minnesota. Kansas. South
Dakota, Wyoming and New Mexico.

Of Augusta Talks
To ROtarians Mon.

At the regular weekly luncheon of
the Rotary Club yesterday noon,
Everett V. Perkins of Augusta was
the speaker. Mr.. Perkins gave an
address. taking for his topic Mis-
sions and Methods of Rotary" which
proved very interesting to the mem
bers. The talk involved reasons for

Mercury Varies During Dog Days

Who said that dog days had begun ?
Right after the weather man had de-
creed that dog days should start. Wa
terville had what might be almost
called cold snap. At noon one day
last week the thermometer registered
higher than was comfortable and the
humidity was greatly in evidence. At
nightfal the mercury had begun to
drop and by midnight that same day
the temperature was a 1ittle above so
degrees, the sky was as clear as could
be, and a gale blew out of the north
west right from the Arctic Circle judg-
ing from the feeling. No frosts were
reported and the cold did not last long
when the sun swung up over the east
ern horizon for the next day. but the
days certainly were not doggy. over
the week end the cool. clear weather
persisted although the sun made Sun
day afternoon very warm. Yesterday
vindication almost came to the weather
prophet, for the humidity began to rise
again and 1t was exceedingly warm al
though the air was fairly clear.

Governor Bryan of Nebraska, nominee
OF the Democrats for vice president,
today expressed unwillingness to carry
out the suggestions of President Cool
idge regarding mobilization day" Sep
TENDER IL. and disagreement with the
presidents statement that the plans
contemplated do not constitute a mill
taristic gesture"

toned in several places mobilization
of not only the national army. national

Il have notified General Duncan of

plan contemplating mobilization of
the civil or industrial resources of
the country or anything else that
savors of a national holiday" devoted
to preparation for war;" said the

lieve the people of Nebraska and any
