are expected to prove the first pitfall
for the Macdonald government.
The life of the Labor government
to a great extent is in the hands of
Herbert H. Asquith and the Liberals.
When Mr.. Asquith gave expression
to the opinion that the king was not
called upon to dissolve parliament
at the request of the outgoing prem
Ter. he is considered by the political
leaders undoubtedly to have had in
mind the belief that the Labor gov
eminent would be of short duration.
Mr.. AsqCith's idea is thought to have
been that King George should refuse
to grant dissolution and call upon
the Liberals to form a government in
the event that Mr.. MacDonald's gov
eminent is defeated. Mr.. Asquith
publicly has claimed that his party
holds the balance of power in parlia-
ment, and ii Is supposed he counted
upon benevolent support from the
Conservatives to give him a fair
lease Of power IL he is to succeed the
Macdonald government.

Colby Man Overcome
by Fumes in Lab;
Badly Hurt by Fall

yesterday afternoon 1t was report
ed by DR.. Edward Fl. Risley that
Malcolm L. Bennett. the junior at
Colby college who was injured late
Friday afternoon in the chemical
laboratory at the college, was re-
covering but that he would have to
be kept quiet for the rest of this
week to relieve the conclusion OF the
grain which he suffered when he fell
to the cement floor of the chemical
laboratory. He is entirely out of dam
ger and will be discharged from the
Elm City hospital by the cndSof the
week.
There are several stories OF how
the college student was injured but
all point to the same theory that he
was temporarily overcome by the eff
fects of q gas which he inhaled and
dropped to the floor in q semi con-
scious state and that when he fell.
he struck his mead Il hard blow and
was rendered unconscious. The blow
was so severe that he suffered q
conclusion of the brain.
Bennett was in the laboratory
|, making up some work before the be-
ginning of the final examinations for
the first semester on Friday after
noon. as the examinations were
scheduled to start today. In the per-
Torrance of the experiment which he
was assigned, he was compelled to
use hydrogen sulphide in the process.
He was partially through with the
experiment when in some way the
discharge tube of the gas generator
became loosened and as he bent over
to repair it, he inhaled some of the
poisonous fumes which caused him
to reel and fall over backwards,
striking the back of his skull on the
cement flooring on the laboratory.
After n few minutes, he was brought
around and walked over to his fra
ternity house but complained that he
felt very queer. He was assisted by
Frank Adams. '26. of Houlton in the
walk from Chemical Hall to the AL
pha House but when he reached his
room he collapsed and fraternity
brothers sent at once for DIR. Risley.
Bennett was then taken from the col
lege to the Elm City hospital by the
doctor where he again regained con-
seriousness late in the evening. He
has been resting comfortably at the
hospital but Is still in a. slightly daZ-
ed condition from the blow.
Bennett has been standing high In
all of his courses since he entered
the college in the fall of 1921, cs-
pecially in the courses in chemistry.
DR.. George +. Parmenter. head of
the department of chemistry at the
college stated yesterday afternoon
that at the time of the accident. no
one paid any especial attention to
the incident as there are many cases
where the students faint after In
haling the hydrogen sulphide gas and
after they have been brought around
with n glass of water, they are able
to resume their work.

his repose, his pleasure, his satistac-

and in all cases, to prefer their in

enlightened conscience, he ought not
to sacrifice to you, to any man. or

To deliver an opinion is the right

which a representa- " ought always

ought always most seriously to con-
slider. But authoritative instructions,
mandates issued which the member is
bound blindly and implicitly to obey,
to vote. and to argue for. though con-

his judgment and conscience, these
are things utterly unknown to the

withholding State aid to sectarian
schools. certainly has famed the zeal
OF those bitter against the Catholics.
Apparently on account of this stand,
the Portland man has received the
unqualified endorsement of the Ku
kluX Khan and it is the boast of
members of that organization that he
will receive 100 per cent Khan vote.
Mr.. Brewster while denying that he
is a member of the Khan. has failed
to repudiate it and, according to Can
didate Patt, he will not.
Both Harrington and Pattangall
have voiced where they stand as re-
CARDS the invisible empire, the for
language, the latter in vigorous and
specific denunciation of the Khan,
Brewster and Farnsworth, the NOV
ing spirit of the Khan in Maine.
1t will thus be noted that leaders
of both parties see n menace in the
Khan. But there are those who see
in Pats vehement voicings, the
smoke screen of an astute and willy
politician. Here is the way they dope
1t out. In the event of n Brewster
win in the Republican primary. nee
essarily by a close vote, it would be
Summer-long campaign between
Patti and the Portland aspirant with
solid Republican vote for the lat
ter far from a certainty.
1t is not unreasonable to assume,
they aver, that in capturing the Re-
publican nomination. Brewster could
not count on the Anti-klan voters
who would at the regular election
either vote Democratic ticket or
stay at home. Furthermore, they
say, it would be extremely
unlikely that Patti would fail
to attribute evils attendant upon a
Khan win in Maine and it's nation
wide consequences.
According to this reasoning the
people of Maine would be confronted
in September with either the election
of a Democratic governor in n presi-
dental year or the election of a Re-
publican who although he denies
membership in the Kan. has
never repudiated that organization.
which has endorsed his candidacy
But there are those who are conf
dent that Harrington will block such
a state of affairs. While they hest
tate to discount the Khan strength,
they believe that, aside from the eX-
IRENE radical group, men and women
will be governed by common sense
and sanity and become convinced
that the Maine Senate head is made
of the right timber to fit him for
chief executive of the Pine Tree
State. and capable of steering clear
of the evils Of intolerance.
All this, however, calls for some
thing more than a semblance of unity
in the Republican party. There is
growing recognition, as Indicated by
the comment heard, in the need OF
sane thinking by Maine Republicans
