W.C. T.U. SPEAKER
 DEFENDS YOUTH
Says Attacks Are Nothing But
 Liquor Propaganda

Niagara Falls. N. Y, Oct. 23 Pl- Mrs. Maude B. Perkins, Syracuse, national secretary of the Young peoples branch of the Women S Christian Temperance Union, told delegates to the annual state conven- tion of the organization here last night that "the cheap slandering of the youth of today by vets and wet politicians is propaganda designed to break down prohibition in other countries where thousands of stu dents of high school and college are studying American institutions"
 "The great success of the W. c. T. U.," said Mrs. Perkins, "his been in the education in the schools of what alcohol does to the system. Liquor interests have combatted that fun damental education wherever they could and now that we have prohi- bition, they are putting on a world wide campaign to try to minimize the e. ect of among the young people of Europe. However, our re- ports show that thousands of young Europeans are working for and vot- ing for prohibition whenever they have a chance. All over Europe one of the great wet drives Is distort- ed picture of American prohibition with especial emphasis painting the American youth as a nation of hip flask boys and loud and undisci- plined cabaret girls"
 Mrs. Perkins said that college un- dergraduates have voted for prohi- bition by at least 70 per cent of all the students in nearly all the col leges. She sounded a warning to the politicians saying that they must remember that these boys and girls are about to vote.

New Haven, Nov. 26 R-Otto T. Booker, member of the board of finance in the town of Seymour, has won his right to remain on the board according to decision handed down by Judge Isaac Wolfe in civil super for court here today. The decision stated that Booker Is a free holder in that town, point which was con- tested by members of the Seymour democratic town committee, who sought to have Booker busted from his office because of this contention.
 The case was heard by Judge Wolfe a week or more ago. Booker who Is secretary of the Seymour Manufacturing company, was elected to the board of finance in 1925 and the town committee declared that he was not then nor is now a land owner and is therefore not entitled to hold public office."
 A warranty deed was produced in court to support Rockers claim, he stating that the land was purchased in 1912. Town records, however, &C., cording to evidence, failed to show that the sale had been recorded or that taxes lad been paid on the pro- perty. ..-....-

 State Senator Hinckley in opening said: "A most serious charge has been made against candidate for the highest honor within the power of citizens of Maine to confer. If substantiated, it renders him liable to perjury and forfeiture of his seat. This morning, still more serious matter has arisen. An open-letter signed by the governor of the state of Maine, appeared in which he pre- judged the case and sought to prejudice your honor.

Kill patrick. counsel for group of de- posed eclectics.
 When the mandamus action was presented to MT. Comley. the latter attached an opinion to 1t. stating that he thought he ought not to sign it. The matter was then pre- sented to Judge Banks by Attorney Fitzpatrick. The judge said he

failed to see where it had any court significance, as it really meant nothing without the signature of Comley.
 The mandamus action was or- iginally intended to force the 1900 physicians and surgeons in the state to show cause why their license to practice in the state should not be revoked, in as much as at the time of their admittance the state de- partment of health did not have on file an approved list of the leading medical schools of the country. This, it was claimed, is in direct variance with the state statute governing such matters.
