Break Camp Today
This banquet was the outstanding
feature of the day and marked the
close of activities at the 1924 tour
of duty of the 152nd Field Artillery.
The boys will probably be paid of
this morning and they will start
early to break camp as they will
leave this city for their homes In
Caribou, Presque Isle, Houlton and
Fort Fairfield late this afternoon.
On Friday morning a final session
of mounted drill was held after
which the soldiers prepared to break
camp, policing up the grounds
somewhat and getting in readiness
to hurry through the routine of
breaking camp in the morning. The
lIlC Oay was PtAcoCN
with recreation. A detail of men
left early Friday morning under
command of Lieutenant Carroll
with several horses. which they took
over the road to Pennington. These
horses were some that were pro-
cured from that place for this en-
campment and 1t was necessary to
return them at that ire. A large
number of horses were also loaded,
and shipped to- Greenville. These
were horses belonging to the Great
Northern Papr Company and were
also brought here for the period Of
encampment.
The members OF the 152nd Field
Artillery have been very much
pleased with the way in which they
were treated while in this city and
many have declared that they hope
to again come here. Thy are all of
course very glad to return to their
homes and are expecting a big re-
ception when their train pulls into
the home stations Sunday morning.

AT ISLAND PARK

At Island Park today weather permitting thousands
of and women, some of them loyal Republicans
some OF them Democrats some of them Independents
and many Of them merely curiosity seekers. will
assemble to hear and General Dawes and to partake
of free lunch.
Whether Senator Brewster will be there or not, we
do not know. II ne is there, We would suggest that
General Dawes repeat in his presence the following
sentence from the Generals speech of acceptance:-
1.-THE average man, with his sense of fair play
despises and condemns the out to catch votes un
der false pretenses and he feels that the desire off,
politicians to get votes in this way endangering the
fundamentals of this great Republic"
We would then suggest that Senator Brewster COM
pare those honest words with the advice given him by
the Press Herald on the Klan issue-namely, not to
speak against the Klan because he would thereby lose
Klan votes, nor to speak in it's favor that would
offend liberal and broadminded voters.
Whatever other faults General Dawes may have he
is honest. He is frank, fearless and outspoken. He
strangely out of place in the Maine campaign If he
understood the real situation here how heartily would
he condemn the lodging evasive pussyfootng methods
of the local Republican managers whose idea of poll
to take both sides of most questions say nothing
in public about anything concerning which there may
be controversy and carry whispering campaign de-
signed to catch votes in any way possible any and
every pretense.
Fooling the people is the whole stock in trade of
the men who have managed to gain control of the
Primary law, but we believe that Senator Brewster
and his followers will realize, election day. if they
do not do so before that time the truth of General
Dawes statement that 'the average man. despses and
condemns the who is out to catch votes under
false pIetenses."

Sec. Hughes Defends
Supreme Court in
Albany. n. Y. Address

Albany, n. Y, Oct. I7-Delivering
at a convoca ton of the University OF
the State of New York an address
which he introduced as non political.
Secretary Of State Hughes spoke to-
night in favor of retaining the origi-
nal constitutional balances stablish-
ed between the supreme court and
congress and between the president
and congress.
He said the charge Of Usurpationi of
power made against the supreme
court had been, in the Judgement of
most persons competent to judge,
disapproved." 1t was not a question
whether the United States subscribed
to the doctrine of judicial review, for
the constitution provided that the
question, said MIR. Hughes, was whe-
tfier the nation should abandon that
doctrine.
Where could the authority to pass
upon constitutional limitations be
lodged ?" he asked Not with the
executive, for that would be to make
him supreme over congress. Not
with the congress. for that would en-
able congress to escape all Iimita-
tions or its powers and would make
IL supreme over the states. Not with
the states, for that would enable the
states to override all federal author
ity.
Either we must abandon the prin-
ciple OF duality or maintain the jufis-
diction of the supreme court Of Ahe
Tn tied States to pass with finality
upon the constitutional validity OF
legislative acts"
The secretary of state declared II
quite clear the present arrange
mcnt for the election of the presi-
dent should be revised" In parti-
cuiar, the provision for election by

tive"
He also considered deserving OF
serious consideration whether the
term OF the presidency should not b.,
extended 10 six years with non-eli-
gibility for election to a second con-
secutive term. He compared the
presidential system with the prime
r-pJarliamentary system and
concluded that the American style is
the more desira BILE.
There is, however. the possibility
of improvement. without weakening
our safeguards by improving 'hc
methods of contact between the exc
cutlve and the congress" Mr.. Hughes
continued. ut ought to he possible

the debates in both houses on mat :

100 per cent in favor of a bridge

posed to the. bridge. We admit thai
a bridge would undoubtedly be

but the benefit it would be to Bath

US to permit this bridge to be bull
