Halloween Party
To Be Promoted
At Local Boys Club

There will be something doing at
the Boys Club Saturday evening,
starting at Z o'clock, when the
youngsters commence their rip-roar-
ing Halloween celebration.
The gymnasium is to be decked
out in real style, style appropriate to
the occasion-cornstalks and vege-
tables in profusion. 1t is guaranteed
to prove both novelty and a spec
tacle to the roaIhd-eyed kiddoes.
The program opens up with some
thing educational, and funny as well.
Songs will be sung, and stories be
told till the real spirit of Hallowe'e en-
grips the boys tight. Tedd Lobdell
of the Colby faculty, is to lead them
in group of songs, after which all
kinds of games will be played. Dig
ging pennies out of pan of flour,
ducking for apples and other stunts
characteristic of such parties, will
give the lads opportunity to expend
some surplus enthusiasm.
Prizes will be given to winners in
competitive games, and to the one
whose ingenuity fashions the fun
NEST costume a grand prize will be
given. And it is understood that the
boys shall originate the costumes
they will wear.
This is the apple season, and boys
and apples make friends spontane-
ously. so remember there win be ap-
pies in abundance, and apples of var
ious kinds Mr.. Armstrong is look
ing after this luscious fruit. so boys,
keep your eyes on that gentleman
during the evening.

outcome of the special election If &C

partisan campaign which will fol-
low the primary.
The necessity for organization and
a full show of party strength was
emphasized by Charles NJ. Stafblrd
of Auburn in brief remarks, and Hon.
Daniel j. McGillicuddy gave talk
that enthused his hearers and armed
them for the campaign in support of
their nominee for the seat in the
United States Senate made vacant

Daniel W. Cony of Augusta, chair
man of the Democratic State con-

lowing the supper session in the ban
quet hall of the Worster.
Candidate Fulton said in part:
There is being built up in the Re
publican party OF Maine today the
most powerful political coalition that
has existed in recent years. Its
genesis was marked by the. public
dates for the senatorial nomination
that he would not be candidate in
1928. This coalition went further.
1t reached out in an attempt to in
duce the present Governor of our
State to likewise announce that in
1928 he too would not be a candidate
for the Senate. in return for united
support in the September election.
The Governor refused. with the re-
suit that while the combined Con-
gressional plurality was over forty
thousand, Governor Brewster was
cut down to a majority less than
half of this.
II do not question the motives of
anyone. The instinct to dominate is
natural The lust for power is among
human frailties, but it is being car
ried too far by a powerful element in
the Republican party of Maine today

approval some of the Democratic
speeches that Louis A. Jack is max

the united, not the divided effort of

throughout the State is: Democrats

Gov. Fuller Hugs
Two Ambitions That
Are Quite Far Apart

Maiden. aAiss., Oct. 27-(Pl-Gov-
ernor Fuller wants to run a newspa-
per and teach Sunday School class.
Such are his two ambitions when [
get out of politics." he told the 124th
Massachusetts Baptist convention in
his home town here today.
I'm the newspaper 1 would show
how we reap what we sow, in taxes, in
the great conflicts between classes
and in the struggles between labor
and capital. What a job you can do
with a newspaper that is absolutely
uncontrolled by advertising and led
by a man Of vision!
"Then 1 would like to teach Sun
day School class of boys so that they
could run for public Office and take
the place of those I exposed in my
newspaper"
Turning to the present campaign,
the governor expressed the opinion
that there is evidence on all sides OF
a lowering morale and political APP
peal based on too low plane.
