DEFENDING ILL
NOIS AGAINST
ATTY. BRUNDAGE

Judge Edwards, who presided over
the trial of Governor Small at Wauke-
gan, has issued a statement which
challenges the veracity Of Attorney
General Brundage.
If the judges statement is true
and he certainly Is in a position TO
know the facts-the chief law officer
of the state has uttered falsehoods TO
the people of the state to win their
votes in his fight for denomination.
That is serious charge. And
Judge Edwards must have known that
it was serious when he issued his
statement ito the Members of the
Bar of the State of Illinois"
The Attorney General, in his cam
paign speeches, had made charges
which reflected seriously on the con-
duct of the Small trial. They dealt
with the selection of jurors and
bailiffs.
Judge Edwards has branded these
statements as false and has cited the
records and the testimony of Mr..
Brundage's own subordinates in sun
port of his declaration.
Ordinarily false charges by Mr..
Brundage would be worth little atten-
ton. But the charges which Judge
Edwards brands as untrue are serious
for three reasons.
First, they were made TO influence
votes in the coming primary election
and are therefore the equivalent of
attempts to corrupt the election.
Second, they besmirch the name of
the state of Illinois-not only within
the state, but because of the circula-
ton which Mr.. Brundage's newspaper
sponsors have given them throughout
the United States.
Third, they malign the courts and
therefore weaken the confidence of the
people in their integrity.
For these three reasons Judge Ed
wards has deemed it necessary to issue
his statement that the people of
Illinois and the nation may know that
these accusations are false.
That action was manifestly the duty
of the Waukegan iudge-not in de-
Tense of Governor Small, whose name
figured in the accusations, but in de-
Tense of the good name of the state
of Illinois.
But what shall we say of a public
official like Attorney General Brun-
dage, who uses such means in an
effort to retain the post to which he
had been elected by the people of
that state?
Judge. Edwards statement and the
records which he cites constitute a
verdict of condemnation of the man
who would make such a campaign.
1t is a condemnation which the Re-
publican voters of the state should
not forget on primary election day

we have been involved.
"To reveal this evidence at this
time would undoubtedly make it i'm

whether the officials will be as willing
to make an arrest in that case as
they were at the outset when the

bond for the release of the accused
men because the total sum asked for

million dollars. 1t will be necessary
for all of them to remain in jail until

however, that the first trial will i'm

warm friendship sprang up be-
tween the two young men, Dawes
had just graduated from law school
and began the practice of law and
they were thrown much in each
others company. Mr.. Garland
came to entertain high opinion of
his associate and has followed his
career with a great deal Of interest
since that time. Mr.. Garland be-
lieves that the choice of Gen. Dawes
Tor Vice President is a wise one and
that the former director of the
budget would be fully qualified for
the office of President should cir
cumstances place him in that posi-
ton.
The presence of former Maine
woman, Mrs. Florence Collins
Porter, wife Of the late Rev. Charles
Porter, at one time pastor Of the
Winthrop Congregational church, at
the National Republican convention
at Cleveland, is a source of much
qualification to her many Maine
friends. Mrs. Porter comes from
Los Angeles and brought the voicing
Of the women of the naming of
Coolidge for Republican candidate
for president. Emma Bugbee in
the New York Herald Tribune,
brings a delightful pen picture to
the readers of Mrs. Porter's share
spf the big event:
cleveland, June IA woman
preacher from Kansas, with the
booming voice of one who eXhorts
sinners to the sawdust trail, and
sweet faced, old fashioned grand
mother from California, were spokes-
women this morning for the women
voters of the country in the nominal
ton of Calvin Coolidge.
There was an outburst of ap-
plause when Mrs. Florence Collins
Porter, of Los Angeles. Oldest Re-
publican woman in point of attend
ance Of political conventions, was
called to the platform. The APP
plause became demonstration
when the convention saw the really
charming picture of the grand
mother on the rostrum. She wore a
lavender silk gown and thin black
silk scarf across the shoulders. Her
gray hair was parted in the middle
a grandmother's should, and she
wore steel-rimmed Spectacles.
The woman of the country are
almost unanimously for Calvin Cool
idge," Mrs. Porter declared. She1
then outlined the history of women
in the Republican convention and
pledged the aid of the women voters
to the campaign.y
Rev. and Mrs. Porter were In
Winthrop for about three years,
some time ago and from there they
went to the eastern part of the state
where Rev. Mr.. Porter passed
away. Mrs. Porter was alw.ys

Brewster Winds Up
Campaign with
Portland Address

Choosing the City of his adoption
as his scene of action, Senator Ralph
0. Brewster last night fired the last
gun in his campaign for Republican
gubernatorial nomination and awaits
today the scoring of the target by
the people of Maine whose decision
will be made public late Monday
after the primary elections have
been closed. About a thousand peo-
pie gathered at City Hall to hear his
last campaign talk, preceded by
shorter addresses by Max L. Pin
ansky. DIR. Alvin c. Goddard, pastor
of the Chestnut street NJ. E. Church,
and Miss Helen L. Bates. Brooks
Band furnished music fer half
hour, opening the session. The
weather was obviously unfavoraole
TO the occasion. but the lower goor
of the auditorium was fairly well
filled.
DR.. Goddard and Mr.. Pinansky
each addressed their efforts to de-
crying moderation on the part of
Maine people toward problems of
public interest, such as the issue of
appropriating State funds for Sec
tartan schools. which Senator Brew
ster has fought since the Legislature
of two years ago. Mr.. Pinansky
aroused marked enthusiasm from
the crowd with his pointed remarks
and DR.. Goddard, reaching the issue
from another angle, was likewise
accorded warm applause. Miss
Bates was heartily received on her
brief review of the senator's support
of woman suffrage and what she
termed his habitual stand for what
he believes to be right and just. The
last speaker. Mr.. Brewster, was ac-
corded a hearty welcome on rising
to address the congregation, and was
well supported during his address
He confined his address principally
to the school issue, coupled with the
matter of tax reduction. The speak
er took but one fling at his Republic
can opponent In this last appearance
before the primaries, stating that
Senator Harrington, whom he did
not directly name, seems to lean
more toward the Democratic plank
on public school support than to-
ward that of the Republican State
organization.

Woman, Scared

Old Orchard Beach, Me-, June IA
Mrs. Jane Baxter, about so years old
former resident Of Lynn, Mass, and
Biddeford. who had been living alone
in a cottage on Highland avenue for
three weeks. was found dead, her
body seated upright in a chair. in an
upstairs room when f1remen entered
the dwelling at noon to extinguish
a fire caused by the oil stove.
While her face, and body were
burned, Medical Examiner Charles F.
Traynor Of Biddeford believed her
death was caused by heart disease
and not by the flames.
1t is thought that she was sitting
in her chair at the time of the ex-
plosion and that she died from shock
and fright. The upper story of the
building was damaged by the fire.
She was born in Biddeford. She

NEiGHBORLINESS AND THE
DOLLAR

It Is said, not so frequently OF
late. perhaps, that Uncle Sans at
titude is suspected by our neighbors
in Central and South America, that
the almighty" dollar somewhere In
the background Is the inspiration Of
all neighborly acts.
At the outset 1t may be taken for
granted that the almighty" dol
lar. unless 1t happens to be invested
In some Illicit enterprise. Is inter-
ested in encouraging-and profiting
from--stable government. In that
view Of 1t one may understand

elections decided by revolutions in
stead Of by ballots. This should
not lead to the conclusion that the
dollar Is at fault.
What we did for Cuba has served
to encourage the ventures Of
capital there but surely has been to
the advantage of the Cubans them
selves. Panama IL in better condi-
tion and Columbia Is better Off for
pur interference which she made
necessary. Besides. this coun-
Try has enabled Columbia to es-
tahlish an up to- date banking sys-
tenn and she Is in better shape in
every way from her association with
our country.
Haiti and the Dominican Republic
have US to thank for assistance and
80 has Venezuela. where application
OF the Monroe Doctrine has helped
to preserve her political identity.
Our departments of Agriculture
and Geological Survey have CO.
operated with the Brazilian Govern
inent to help in developing that
sountry's resources, to say nothing
Of the aid Of our experts in modern-
lzing her navy and our most favor
ed-nation treatment of her.
Naturally the almighty" dollar has
trofited from this-and so have the
Brazilians and ourselves.
Our influence is helping Chile and
Peru to settle their long standing
Tacna-Arica dispute. Our PAN
American conferences are consider
ed--ths most successful Of any in
ternational gct-together.
And while not all the doings Of
the almighty" dollar in Mexico
Have been beneficial, on the whole
our relations with that country
have been helpful and should be
