In Support Of the Khan

The Republican National Committee (the Chairman
of which has the address of the Treasurer of the Re-
publican State Commttee) is arranging to send nto
Maine various spell binders of national prominence to
urge the support of the Kan candidate for Governor
as necessary prelude to the election of President
Coolidge
Hon. Charles G. Dawes Republican candidate for
Vice President is to speak at Island Park Augusta on
August 23rd. We do not agree with many of Mr.
Dawes theories concerning public questions, notably
his strenuous opposition to the organization and main
tenance of labor unions but we do not and could not
question his sincerity.
He is plain blunt man, who thinks for himself and
says what he thinks. If he knew the real political
situation in Maine, he would never come here. If Ne
knew that while Senator Brewsers candidacy for the
Governorship is labelled Republican, he is in reality
the representative of the Klan Hell and Maria would
not appear at Island Park, for the policies and thu
principles which underlie the political philosophy of
the masked and hooded order distasteful to him
they are to u.s.
Senator Pepper, he of the keynote speech in Port.
land where he congratulated the country that Pres
dent Hardngs cabinet 70 per cent honest. is also
coming. We doubt if he would support the Khan in
Pennsylvania although he might regard it good
enough for Maine.
Senator Willis of Ohio is to be here. He is the man
who drew the famous resolution in the Newberry
in which it stated that nothing detrimental had
been proved against Senator Newberry but that if any
else did the things that he had DONE American
institutions would be endangered. Undoubtedly he
would be willing to come here under any conceivable
circumstances
The remainder of the list of those who to be let
loose the people of Maine during the last two weeks
of the campaign is not made up of names of men Of
equal prominence with these. They will all sing one
song.
"A Vote For Brewster Is Vote For Coolidge"
Senator Brewster says that his slogan is:
"a Vote For Brewster Is A Vote For Republican
Administration In Maine"
We cannot accept either slogan as quite setting forth
the facts correctly We agree with Mr.. Farnsworth,
whose political protege Senator Brewster is, that
"a Vote For Brewster Is Vote For the Khan"
and we suggest that the committee arrangements
provide Fiery Cross two to be burned at Island
Park on the twenty-third and supply masked guard
for their candidate SO that there will be msunder
standing as to the motive behind Senator Brewsters
effort to attain the Governorship
If the Republican National leaders are willing to
make present to Democrats of New York, New Jer-
sew Connecticut and Rhode Island not to mention
era other states for the sake of reducing the Demo-
cratic plurality in Maine this year, have no obec-
tons. That is just what they will do if they are UNI
wise enough to come in here in support of the Kan
DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE.

The Crawford Quick Tire Service has succeeded in making valuable addi- tion to its efficient organization by se- curing the services of H. P. Mcdonald, who has just recently joined the above company in the capacity of truck tire salesman.
 Mir. McDonald has lived in Birming- ham for a number of years, has a wide circle of friends, and is especially we'll known to the automobile, trade and users of commercial cars, because of his past connection with the truck tire end of the automobile business, having here tofore been associated with other prom. inent retail automobile concerns in Bir- mingham.

GASPS AT KOKOMO MAN
Young Millionaire Is Not Interested In
 Girls

King Kennedy of Kokomo, Ind. 20 years lad, curly-haired, pink-checkedr and with a fortune all his own, was turned loose on Broadway to do ex- actly as he pleased for six months. says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 What he did was to hand the great white way the greatest shock in it's history!
 And now, when you mention his name chorus girls, and other moths of the lights, take out little handkerchiefs and weep large tears.
 Some of them stamp dainty feet and say harsh things about the handsome, young millionaire But these are the ones who never have been able to find out exactly what it was all about.
 When a telegram, came a few weeks ago announcing that Mir Kennedy, member of one of the oldest and most prominent families i'll Indiana, was to be let off from the job of learning how to handle the Kennedy interests in his home town, and was to be sent to New York instead, there was great ex- citement along the Rialto.
 Because he was only kid and was modest and likable, because he looked like Lou ,Tellegen, because there was a bit of mystery surrounding him, everybody wondered what Broadway would do to King Kennedy, and what King Kennedy would Go to Broadway.
 Every time millionaire kid strikes little old New York they said, "somt

A TREASURE HUNT IN LONDON
Latest Sport Of The Idle Rich In Eng
 fish Capital


 London for some months past has been enriched by q society which calls itself '@The Bright Young People.
 The members are rich and eOmfOrta- ble. they have plenty of leisure time and plenty of money to buy expensive motor cars and other desirable adjuncts to the ease and Eaiety of existence; and, finding the varied interests and Occupa- tions of less fortunate persons somewhat dull, they have set about to enliven life by novel expeditions of their own.
 One of their efforts takes the form of what is called a treasure hunt in the streets and open spaces Somebody hides a packet of bank notes some where. and an elabOrate system of '-cIues" is devised to lead searcheTs to this buried treasure or to baffle them in the voyage of discovery.
 The members of the society start from the rendezvous in Balgrave square. London. or other suitable locality. and rush over London in high power motor cars trying to pick up the trail. The mOtOrist who reads the clues rightly, and is first in at the death, so to speak, wins the match and the prize.

NEW NASH CARS
 EXCITE INTEREST
Full Line Body Models Shown In Two
 Series

Since the announcement last week of the initial showing of the new series of Nash cars by McCormsek Brothers Motor company much interest and much favorable comment has been manifested, according to officials of that firm. The new lines are designated as the "Spe- eiar' and the Advanced" series and present a full line of body models in both classes.
 I've have had ample opportunity to become acquainted with the merits and many improvements in the new series, said Bill Pape. sales manager for Me- COrmack Brothers, .1and we have also had many opportunities for making sales only lacking the cars to fill the de hand. It may be safely predicted that xs soon as the public becomes thorough ly acquainted with the new lines that there will he a shortage of these cars for they unquestionably offer the most in motor car value on the market tp- day.
 Some of the outstanding features of the new series are striking new body designs, new type four-wheel brakes Nash design. full balloon tires are standard equipment on all models as are Budd -AIichelin disc wheels. A new force feed OiliRg system and many no table features in fittings and appoint ment have been inaugurated.
 In the Advanced Six models the five passenger touring is priced at $1-S15 and in the Special Six models, the five passenger touring is priced at $1,O95 while the closed models in both lines provide equally. attractive values.

UPKEEP REDUCED
 BY MOTOR FUEL
Plays Important Part In Lowering Overhead
 Expense

During the past thirty days. contracts have been executed by the General Oil Corporation, manufacturers of Go-Zip with a dozen large business enterprises in Birmingham, using fleets of trucks and delivery cars. for exclusive use of the new motor fuel, according to an- nouncement of J. Gregory Johnston, president.
 With corporations using large fleets of cars. motor fuel is an important item of overhead" Mr. Johnston points out Not only are the actual miles per gal lon, big item of cost. but the wear and tear on the cars themselves from dilution of oil in the crank ease, IS q big factor of expense which executives of corporations operating many trucks must take into account
 .sThe cut in operating costs which has followed the adoption of Go-Zip by many of the leading firms in the Bir- mingham district has been the best advertisement, we have had. One firm tells another and in this way we are constantly obtaining new customers without any solicitation on our part Just the other day, we had an experi- ence in point. A certain firm which operates many cars, called us over the telephone and said they had been check ing up with another company in Biz mingham, which uses only GO-Zip' on the miles per gallon furnished by our fuel. The cost sheets of this other firm disclosed a remarkable discrepancy in motor fuel bills@a much lower monthly average.
 '.They also showed that since GO-Zip had been adopted exclusively for all the cars of the company, that bills for cleaning out carbon had been cut by a considerable amount. This led to a new contract for Js-

shannon was published in the news papers--Mr King Kennedy of Kokomo hauled off and gave Broadway the meanest shock of it's life.
 You see," he stated, by way of the wallop, I'm not interested in girls. I'm in New York to prefeet myself in art, dancing, acting and costume designing. haven't time to play around. No, l don't care anything about these parties. Just tell them I'm sorry, but l can't attend, will you?'
 King Kennedy left school at Bilt- more. South Carolina, when he was only IT years old. He wanted to learn how to be designer of stage effects. So he travelled through Europe for more than two years, learning all there. is to learn about folk costumes.
 Had Planned His Life Work.
 Shortly after he returned to America his father died. Then it was decreed at a Kennedy family council that he must drop all idea connecting himself with the stage and undertake the man. &gement of his fathers estate, he being the only man in the family.
 But King objected. He'd planned his life work-and he cared less about the estate or about money than he did about art, with q big A.
 Finally compromise was brought about. He was to move to New York on the first of May. Early in the fall he will be 21, and of age. If by that time he has given indications of making good in his work, he is to re- main on Broadway and carry on. If he should accomplish nothing that gives promise. he is to return to Kokomo, and be business man for the rest of his life.
 Try to interest him in q discussion of the shock he has handed Broadway and he'll cerry you into his museum to look over the collection of costumes he has brought from every part of the world.
 Broadway thinks it isn't fair. But King Kennedy doesn't care.
