CAMPAIGN
STIRS EMPIRE VOTERS

By International Labor News Service
NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 9.-The
amazing activity and effectiveness of
the La Toilette Wheeler campaign in
the Empire State has forced both old
parties to send in their best cam
paigners to counterfeit the marked
loss of prestige in not talking tur-
key" to the voters. The usurpation
of power of the supreme court, the
Esch-Cummins act, child labor and
other major questions are constantly
in the public view only because of the
brilliant presentation of Independent
leaders. Both old parties have been
challenged to meet these issues.
Senator La Toilette had hardly left
the state when Mrs. La Toilette made
stirring appeal at Town Hall for
the support Of progressive women to
make her husband the next president.
Her plea was based on the freeing of
one million children who slave in
mills, mines and factories, because
the supreme court has wiped out the
child labor amendment. Her human
itarian plea was supported by Frank
P. Walsh, noted labor attorney, and a
lifelong democrat; Owen R. Love-
joy and Mrs. Florence Kelly.

BY The Way

Averaging good and bad years, 10
to IL per cent of all the workers in
the United States, several millions
of men and women, are out of work
all of the time, the Russell Sage
Foundation reports. The report is
based on a five-year study of employ
ment methods, needs and agencies.
After citing the fact that each year
from 100000 to 100000 persons
are out of work for weeks and some
times for months at a time, the re-
port says:
"There is something which we are
Just beginning to recognize, a re-
sentiment on the part of the workers
against an industrial situation in
which such insecurity and uncertain
ty Of employment are possible. 1t is
not only unemployment, but the fear
of unemployment, the knowledge that
any job is uncertain and insecure,
subject to the fluctuations of eco
nomic change, which are responsible
for much of our present Industrial
unrest"
The widespread unemployment dis
closed by the Foundations report is
fraught with far-reaching economic
social, psychological and moral con-
sequences. 1t reveals serious situa-
ton and shows that everything is not
perfect in this country, the reaction
aries to the contrary. As the Sage
Foundation points out, actual unem-
ployment and fear of unemployment
is responsible for much discomfort.
Stabilize employment and much of
this discomfort will disappear.
The La Toilette campaign Commit
tee has challenged the rival -andi-
dates to debate the court issue, but
they have not been falling over them
selves to accept. 1t looks much as if
they realize they haven't leg to
stand on and are not anxious to be
''shown up" as champions of Judicial
tyranny and usurpation.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt has been
nominated for governor of New
York:

pie as Napoleon Plus Petit" In

Funeral OF Mrs. A%nt0innette Kincald
Held Sunday

Funeral services for Mrs. Antoin-
cite Kincaid were held last Sunday
from the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Henry Hoyt on Madison avenue. Rev.
George Merriam, pastor of the Beth
any Baptist Church oficiated and in
terment was at the Twelve Corners
burying ground In Madison.
Mrs. Kincaid was the widow of Ga
len Kincaid, who died eight years ago.
She was eighty years old last June
and although she had been in feeble
health for sometime, her death was
due to the result of a fall in which
she sustained a broken hip, the night
prior to her death. The deceased
was a native of Scion and was the
daughter of Zebidee Rowell. She is
the last of her family, two brothers
having passed away. Mrs. Kincaid
was a charter member of the East
Madison Grange and for the past four
years had lived in Skowhegan, her old
home having been just north of East
Madison village. Mrs. Hoyt, al
ready mentioned, was her only daugh-
ter.

Skowhegan, Maine.
Gentlemen:
When your representative was here
last fall we purchased two pals OF
your Spears Guardian and it will
probably interest you to hear hat we
had an opportunity on the night of
August 10Th to test it's efficiency:
One of the yachts at our dock that
night got a fire through a back firing
carburetor. She was fitted with fire
extinguishers but they used them all
without success. Our man ran up
into the shop and got a pail of your
Spears Guardian and with. that one
pailful put out the fire. This not
only saved the yacht but %undoubted-
ly prevented a large fire ON our
waterfront.
We are thoroughly solid on the
merits of your Spears Guardian.
Very truly yours,

The roads in Skowhegan are all re-

sioner Kimball. Building operations
are underway on the section of the
state highway on the back road i'll
the vicinity of the brick yard. About
$4,000 will be expended on this sec

keep this road open for traffic all oil
the time. although travelling Is not
very comfortable there at the present
time. The wooden bridge, which is
being built at Malbon's Mills will
probably be finished in a week
meanwhile a temporary bridge is

Telephone Companies RecOI
Emergencies
Recognize

In the account of the fire at the
Painter farm in our issue of Thursday
last, reference was made to the fail
ure in procuring quick aid from the
Skowhegan Fire Department, owing
to the telephone system. No criti-
cism was intended by us on either of
the local telephone companies, Meth
err was such apparently intended by
Mr.. Painter, in his conversation with
the Reporters representative. He
simply explained that he had no New
England telephone and that a neigh
Dor, who did have one was on the
Norridgcwock Exchange, Il delay be-
ing occasioned, since the message had
to pass through two exchanges before
reaching the Skowhegan Fire Depart
ment. Mr.. Painter, in no way, APP
peared to hint negligence on the part
of any telephone operators, either in
Norridgewock or Skowhegan. and no
such suggestion was intended in the
Reporters account of the fire.
Both telephone companies make it
a point to recognize emergency calls
as above mentioned. giving preference
to such over business calls. The
same is true also in cases of accident
or illness.
