candidates for public office, they GER
tainly should be competent to elect
those candidates direct. Of course it
is admitted that the cost of con-
trolling few political "bosses" in a
convention is much less than corrupt
ing the entire electorate. Therefore,
the people have to decide whether
they will be controlled by political
''bosses" or by themselves, even if
they do make mistakes. The people
should be made acquainted with the
despicable idea behind the destruction
of the direct primaries. They must
be made to understand that carrying
this policy out to its logical conclu-
sion would gradually bring about a
return to the dictatorship of a few
men in all political affairs. If it were
necessary to abolish the old "boss rul-
ed" conventions and to establish the
direct primaries it is certainly just as
necessary how to maintain the direct
primaries. 1t must be remembered
that what are known as political
"bosses" never sleep-they are con-
tinually conniving to bring about a
desired end. The people for one rea
son or another forget their political
duties between elections, and while
| they are asleep the political bosses
through their propaganda agents
manufacture sentiment in favor OF
objectional candidates or principles
that are detriment to the people
The American labor movement will
be untrue to itself unless it makes ii
one of its most important duties to
keep alive the political spirit of the
people. They must not be permitted
to forget or forgive any unjust act
of public men. If ballot boxes are
STUFFED" or stolen, if election clerks
miscount the ballots to the detriment
Of any candidate, the law provides a
remedy. If there are not sufficient
laws to prevent this corruption of the
ballot, new laws should be enacted
But under no circumstances should we
return to the system which permitted
a few men to dictate who should be
candidates for public office.

SOUTHERN BUSINESS
AIDS FOREIGN SHIPS

Charleston, S. C.--Southern busi-
ness interests were charged here by
Admiral Benson, member of the
United States shipping board with
retarding the work of building an
American merchant marine by patron
izing foreign ships.
The navy official indicted the busi-
ness men after they made the stero-
typed attack against Americas mer-
chant marine.
Business men of the south have
not fostered American ships, but have
helped to build up strong foreign
shipping business" the admiral said

DANGEROUS
STOMACH ACIDS
UPSET DIGESTION

Few people, other than physicians,
realize the importance of keeping the
food contents Of the stomach free from
fermentation. Healthy, normal diges-
ton cannot take place while the deli
cate lining Of the stomach is being in
famed and distended by excessive acid
and gas-which causes fermentation of
food in the stomach. To secure per-
feet digestion. fermentation must be
stopped or prevented and the acid neu-
tralzed. For this purpose there is
nothing better than little pure Bis
.urated Magnesia-either powder or
: tablets-which can be obtained at any
Z drug store. Take a teaspoonful or two
tablets in little water Immediately
after eating. Bisurated Magnesia is
= very widely used for this purpose be-
cause 1t is pleasant to take has no dis
Z agreeable after-effects and instantly
stops fermentation, neutralizes the
acid and makes the sour stomach con-
tents bland. sweet and easily digested.
As there are several forms of mag
nesia be sure you specify Bisurated
Magnesia, the regular use of which is
J the best possible guarantee of healthy,
normal digestion:-Adv.

Reviewing the splendid returns to
the farmers from bumper" crops in
several products during the past
year. and speaking most optimisti-
cally of the future of agriculture in
this State, Frank P. Washburn,
Maine Commissioner of Agriculture
held the interest and won the en-
thusiasm of the members of the Uni
versalist Associates at the supper
session held Thursday evening at the
Willow Dining rooms.
The speaker declared that aban-
doned farms was not this States
problems as many of these deserted
farms will return big dividends in
timber in the years to come. Com
missioner Washburn predicted a
time when young men and women of
New England will find in farming,
the best and happiest occupation.
His remarks in part were as fol-
lows:
'While We have realized that the
business of farming in Maine has not
been as prosperous during the decade
just passed as we might wish. yet
we have had faith in the future of
the industry and now at the opening
of the year 1926 as we review the
operations of the past season we find
that faith justified and farmers are
going forward to the work of the new
year with renewed courage and in
happier frame of mind.
Discussing the operations of 1925
upon our farms Commissioner Wash
burn said: Maine potato growers
displayed degree of courage and en-
terprise almost unprecedented when
in the spring of 1925 they marshalled
their few remaining resources and
such credit as they could muster and

Dudley Field Malone
To Speak in Defense
OF Blasphemer Bimba

Brockton, Mass, Feb. 1S-{AP)-
The knights of Pythias today can
celled a lease for their hall on the
night OF Feb. % where Dudley Field
Malone had been scheduled to speak
in behalf Of Anthony Bimba, accused
of blasphemy under a law nearly 800
years old in this state.
Malone, New York lawyer, who
was associated with the defense IN
the famous Scopes evolution trial.
was to speak under the auspices of
a free speech group which has es-
poused Bimba's cause. The Lithu-
anian lecturer and editor of a
Brooklyn communist newspaper, will
go on trial on Feb. "a, the day after
the mass meeting was to have been
held.
The lease Of the hall was cancelled
by Charles c. Hurd, custodian of the
building, which is owned by Damo-
cles Lodge, Knights Of Pythias. The
reason given was that the knights
of Pythias did not care to be in
volved in any controversy of the
kind.
Hurd said that the hall was en-
gagged by man who said he was en-
ployed in a Brockton store, and who
said the place was required for a
lecture. When TIE real object was
learned, Hurd said, he decided after
a conference with TIE boa~-' =
troll of the order. to cancel the lease.
The meeting was to be held under
the auspices of the Interna tional :
Dor Defence League.
Today those interested in Bimba's
case were canvassing the city in
search of hall large enough for the
crowds expected to attend such a
meeting. Lithuanian hall, where
Bimba made an address in which the
compliments charge he denied the
existence of the Deity and urged
overthrow by force of the United
States government, has a capacity nf
100 and was regarded as too small
for the purpose.
Harry Hoffman of Boston, counsel
for Bimba, came here today to re-
quest a hearing on his motion for a
bill of particulars. The defense has
sought to obtai ndetails of the charge
against Bimba, including the act,'1l
language used by the lecturer in his
BrOckton address.

British Commons
FavOrs Mandate of
Is Years Over Irak

London, Feb. Is. - (AP) = The
house Of commons tonight ratified
the treaty of Irak, which consists
of convention between Great Brit
ain and the Irak kingdom whereby
the British mandate is extended to
a maximum of % years. The sign
ing of the treaty on January IA was
in conformity with the decision OF
the league of nations council in the
Anglo Turkish dispute over the ter
ritory Of Mosul, which lies within
Irak. The treaty was ratified by
vote of 260 to 116.
The debate on the subject lasted
several hours, and strong opposition
came from the labor party. j. Ram
say Macdonald, supporting the la
Dor amendment against ratificat1on,
roade the interesting revelation that
during his administration the Turks
were once believed to be moving
troops to Jump the pitch" until
they were warned they would find
the British ready.
l.. c. NJ. Avery. minister for the
colonies. explaining the treaty and
the governments policy, maintained
that Irak's specific undertaking to
become fully responsible for it's own
internal and external security by
1928 remained unaltered. All Great
Britain undertook by the treaty was
responsibility as the mandatory pow
et for another % years, unless in
the meantime Irak became men,
Der of the league of nations.
There was nothing in the treaty
imposing new military or financial
obligations on Great Britain. On
the contrary, to bring British fam
cial and military responsibility In
Irak to an end in 1923 was the main
object and he believed 1t wo1id be
