Brewster's Utterances Comes
AS Big Shock to Him, Tells
Sanford Gathering - With
Sen. Hale And Chairman
Field Declares ArOostOok
Candidate Will Be Cleared
Comes Before knowledge of
Findings At Augusta

Sanford. Me-, Nov. 26.-(P)-Repre-
sentative Caroll Beedy in an address
here this afternoon declared 'I have
never been more shocked by public or
private utterance than by Governor
Brewster's letter to Chairman Field of
the State committee. I was ashamed
for my State, and I was, to put it very
mildly, disappointed in my governor"
He was addressing a gathering of
200 organization Republicans from all
parts of York county at the Sanford
Town hall and was referring to an at
tack made by Governor Ralph o.
Brewster upon Arthur A. Gould of
Pressure Isle, candidate for United
States senator, on the eve of the hear
Ing on charges Of Illegal election ex-
penditures brought against Mr.. Gould.
Speaking before the hearing at Au-
gusta resulting with the dismissing of
charges against Mr.. Gould, National
Representative Beedy, United States
Senator Frederick Hale, Chairman
Field and others at the meeting, voiced
vindicated of all the charges that had
been brought against his character.
Emphatic declaration that he be-
iieved that Mr.. Gould would success
fully withstand all attacks against his
character Were made by United States
Senator Frederick Hale.
Mr.. Gould is man who does
things, a man of big business who has
been of great assistance to the deVel-
opment of his State and county," said
Senator Hale. IF he is elected to the
United States Senate, and l believe he
will be, his experience as a builder and
operator of railroads will help you
people of York county in solving your
railroad problems, for he probably will
take Senator Fernald's place on the
interstate commerce commission"

man Daniel F. Field of the Republi-
can State committee said tonight:
THE statement of Governor
Brewster in regard to an interview
held in his office at which Mr.. VileS
and l were present is in part true.
This was an interview of the gov
errors seeking in which he said he
was convinced that a large amount
of money had been spent in Mr..
Goulds primary election.
Il said / knew nothing about it.
He replied that the newspaper ads
alone cost a large amount. l replied
that it was evident that some one
had spent in excess of $500 not only
in this campaign but in his two years
ago.
Il assumed that in both cases it
was spent without the candidates
knowledge and consent. His state
ment that l mentioned the sum of
$4,000 is incorrect and l have lust
called Mr.. Viles on the telephone
and he corroborates my statement"

Rev. Leigh as Goat

Senator Arthur r. Gould said
Friday night, following the dis
missaI of the petition:-
THE result was exactly as
knew it must be unless somebody
took the stand and committed
perjury.
81 remained at the Augusta
House awaiting a call from my
attorneys in the event anybody
made a false statement in con-
nection with the case.
AS have stated repeatedly
my return made under oath in
accordance with the statute con-
tanned all the expenditures made
by me or with my knowledge and
consent.
at seems too bad that under
the statute a poor, weak fellow
like the Rev. Arthur F. Leigh is
permitted to make such serious
charges and then when called to
the witness stand admit under
oath that he had no personal
knowledge of any expenditures of
any nature being made by me or
with my knowledge and consent.
have only pity for this man,
Arthur F. Leigh, whom the evil
dence showed to be simply a
weak tool for the dominating
forces of the ku klux Khan, and
in spite of the fact that he COM
mitted perjury in making oath to
such charges have no desire to
take criminal proceedings against
him.
~ regret that G vernon
Brewster saw fit to PREJUDICE my
case before he heard the evil
dence."
