man, Shows the futility of waging a
campaign against a solid phalanx' of
newspapers, few of which have pre-
scented anything but one side Of the
case, and some indulging in the most
fragrant misrepresentation.

tory published in the Sunday news
papers after Secretary Hoover had
cancelled his engagement to speak

President Coolidge.
"Regarding Senator Butler as the
Spokesman for the president, many
Republicans considered this an en-
dorsement of the Republican cand-
date and that in consequence the
charges made against him must De

excitement. The charges were turned
down by the secretary of state at a
formal hearing as not backed by suf-
ficient evidence.
connection with a railroad project
in New Brunswick some years ago
in which promoters associated with
him contributed to the campaign
fund of the premier Of the Canadian
province. Gould replied that this
was an old story and that he had ad-
vised against such contributions.
The campaign was further con-
fused by rumors of future political
aspirations Of Maine Republican
leaders. Gould supporters charged
that Governor Brewster was seeking
the support of the Khan to bring
about his nomination for senator in
1928. The governors friends as
serted that Gould had promised to
throw his strength toward the re-
nomination two years hence of Sem
ator Frederick Hale, who has sup
ported Gould. Still another factor
was former Governor Percival P.
Baxter, runner-up in the four COR
nered Republican contest, who, after
the primary pledged his support to
Gould.
Maine is normally a Republican
state. In the State election last
September Governor Brewster was
re-elected by a margin of 20,02S. The
total vote for Governor in September
was 1S1,524, as compared with 253,-
9O7 in 1924, the presidential election
year.
MIR. Gould, born in East .Corinth,
Me-, about 70 years ago, worked in
the west for a time as a youth but
returned to Maine in 1878 and with
his brother built up successful
candy factory in Bangor. Next he
travelled as tobacco salesman for
his brother and IN 1887 he established
a wholesale tobacco house in Pressure
Isle, Aroostook county. where he has
since made his home.
He has since built up large lum

Jury Will Report on
Mason Case Today

Burlington, VT, Nov. 29-(P1-The
iury in the case of Walter G. Mason,
accused of the murder Of customs
officer Captain E. B. Webb will not
report until tomorrow. Receiving the
case at 1915 today after a charge
that lasted over two hours, the
jurors re-appeared at 2:10 and asked
for a re-reading of that part of the
courts charge which dealt with what
Mason told Alpha White, the motor
cyclist, as bearing on the question OF
generalization.
Again at 4:15 they returned and
asked the court what bearing 1t
would have upon generalization If it
was found the officers used undue
force on Mason. Undue force, II
found, said the court, might be con-
sidered in connection with the self
defense claim. In this case the fact
that Tucker might have used undue
force would be considered in co:-nec-
ton with the shooting of Webb only
in case 1t was found Tucker and
Webb were acting in concert. AT
500 tonight 1t was announced that
the jury would not come,in until to-
morrow morning.

RINGING WORDS

the sinister influence Of an oath
bound organization no longer threat
ems the welfare of Maine, and third,
that Mr. Gould stands indicated as
his friends were sure he would"
Senator Frederick Hale Of this city
said:
II regard the result Of the election
as q complete vindication Of Mr.
Gould among his own people. The
campaign of abuses, which we have
been through and which Is without
pre- cedent in any Maine state election
In my recollection, has unquestion-
ably reacted In his favor. The people
of Maine have considered the charges
against Mr.. Gould and their verdict
is no uncertain one"
Joseph W. Simpson of York, nation
al committeeman for Maine, said:
1.-THE result of today's election is
the greatest victory in the political
history Of Maine. With all the han
dicaps with which Senator elect
Gould started, not only in his own
state but from outside interests, 1t
means a wonderful triumph for him
Il wish to congratulate the state
organization for its splendid work,
especially Chairman Daniel F. Field;
the vice chairman, Mrs. Eva c. Ma
son, and National Committeewoman,
Mrs. Guy p. Gannett.
Senator Hale today is more popu-
lar in Maine than ever before in his
political life. He volunteered his
service early In the campaign and
stayed with the state organization to
the end, showing that he is the type
of man willing to remain with his
friends, no matter how dark the out
look might be.
1.-THE result also shows that the
citizens of Maine believe in fair play.
The days have gone when mud sling
ing will gain anything in state Of
Maine politics"
Former Congressman Daniel j. Nc
Gillicuddy of Lewiston, the Democra-
tic national committeeman from
Maine. said he had no comment to
make tonight on the election.

King Ferdinand
Sick But Not in
Danger of Death

Paris. Nov. 29-(P)-Queen Marie
at sea and former Crown Prince
CAROL at Neuilly are the chief figures
In the Rumanian situation; their I'M
expected meeting in Paris may shape
the future history of the country.
King Ferdinand at Bucharest mas
latest reports say, continued 10 I'M
prove. His serious condition is au-
mitted yet Rumanian government Oh
ficials declare he is not yet In lnliiii-
nent danger of, death.
The lull is furnishing an opportu-
nitv for the political stages to speou-
late on weighty decisions, IL any;
which NAV be taken by the royal
mother toward her hayward son.
Carol is keeping his own counsel, but
will await the queens coming
though he refuses to be enticed into
a declaration of his attitude in the
dynastic crisis.
Carol, it is true, renowned MS
rights to the throne, but his support
ers believe that that is a minor as
pect that can be changed legally or
Illegally by peaceful persuasion or
revolutionary force. What the for
mer crown prince thinks, he has not
yet said.
The politicians naturally are wor-
ried by the possibility of having to
govern an uneasy country and ira
ditionally turbulent states, but there
are many of the opinion that the
kings illness is being used as an ex-
cuse for the present clamor; they
think that when Carol finally de-
clarcs himself a way will be found to
settle matters amicably.
Carol has ignored all stories Of his
intention to return to the Rumanian
capital and claim the right to the
Rumanian throne; he has been as
silent as the propagandists have
been noisy the last two weeks. King
Ferdinand's life or death seems less
and less to dominate the situation
and 1t is apparently more matter
of what Carol and Rumania's many
bitterly factional plans will do.
