4 O'Clock Closing
OF Departments to
Commence June Il

Four o'clock closing Of State de-
partments has been granted to take
effect June IA and to extend to Sep
TENDER IS. according to an announce
ment made by Governor Ralph O..
Brewster at meeting of the depart
ment heads Friday morning in the
Council Chamber. The governor had
taken up the matter with the Execu-
tive Council at their meeting Thurs
day and approval was given to the
petition of the State House Girls
Club and commissioners for closing
the departments an hour earlier at
ternoons during the summer. On
Saturdays the departments will
close at noon as usual.
Governor Brewster expressed his
approval of the cooperation which
has been evident among the State
House employees in effcting a saving
in supplies, phone charges and pos
tage. Secretary Charles e. Dustin
presented figures showing the saw
ing since the installation of the new

cup offered by Governor Brewster to

airy to June 1 of this year, will be

tonight that will give to you and
the voters of the State of Maine my
word of honor that IL am ever nom-
mated and elected to the high Office
of Governor of the State of Maine
and after having served as such for
nearly II months the only reason my
friends can advance for retaining me
In that office for further period of
two years Is party precedent. / will
resign from the Office and never pre-
sent myself as candidate for an
other public office in this State.
1T seems to me that 1t i'll becomes
the friends of Governor Brewster to
advance the argument of party pre-
cedent as a reason to again nominate
Mr.. Brewster as Governor of Maine.
A careful study of Mr.. Brewster's
political acts since the day the Hon.
Frank G. Harrington of Augusta was
given a certificate of nomination as
Governor following the primaries in
June 1924, to this date, fails to dis
close any semblance of even an at
tempt on the part of Governor Brew
ster to respect SO called party pre-
cedent.
HE has deliberately and apparent
ly with malice aforethought separat-
ed. insofar as it has been possible
for him to do so, the Republican
party from control of the affairs of
the State of Maine and turned them
over body and soul to an oreaniza-
ton which typifies the opposite of
every principle of Republicanism.
AT this very time Governor Brew
ster Is sponsoring a constitutional
amendment which strikes at the very
heart of some of the finest institu-
lions in our State. The organiza-
ton into the hands of which he is
delivering the resources Of the State
and the control of the Republican
party openly advocates restricting
the constitutional rights of a sub
stantial percentage of our citizens.
'In spite of all this, on the grounds
Of party precendent alone. the
friends of Governor Brewster would
ask the voters to confer upon him for
further period of two years the
highest office in the State.
Il am constrained to cry with the
psalmist of old. How long. O. Lord.
how long! Every vote cast for Mr..
Brewster at the June primaries Is
vote for the Maher amendment and
an endorsement not of Republican
principles but just the opposite"

Party Precedent
Attacked bv Thaver

Major Thayer in his Lewiston ad-
dress Wednesday evening, as reported
in the Lewiston Journal, CHALLENGED
the theory that a governor should
have two terms, irrespective Of other
considerations.
He is reported to have said:
Governor Brewster has separated,
so far as possible. the Republican par
ty from control of affairs in Maine
and turned them over" body and soul
to an organization which typifies the
opposite Of every principle of Republi-
canism," Major Thayer of Bangor said
last night in discussing an editorial
published in the Journal which adyo-
Gated party precedent for giving Gov.
Brewster second term. Major
Thayer was in Auburn to attend Pyth-
ian convention and addressed Carpen-
ters Union Local No. 407 by invitation.
He also discussed the Maher amend
ment.
Il have read with interest an edi-
torial published in the Lewiston Eve
ming Journal May Is under the cap
ton Governor Brewster This edi-
torial endorses the sentiment recently
expressed in an editorial in the LIS
bon Enterprise.
THE gist of 1t is to the effect that
because of rparty precedent there
should be no opposition to MIR. Brew
ster at the primaries in June. The
editorial advances no other reason
than party precedent for giving Mr..
Brewster second terms
I want to state 10 you men here

ROTARY CLUB HEARS
PLANS FOR FOURTH
Of JULY CELEBRATION

Important matters Of club business
occupied the attention of the Rotary
members at the regular supper ses-
sion of the club held Friday evening
at the Augusta House with a large
attendance and several visiting Ro-
tarians and guests. Lieutenant Col
onel Charles w. Savage, of the COM
mittee on the independence Day cele-
bration proposed by the James Fitz-
gerald post, American Legion, pre-
scented the tentative program for the
big observance and asked that the
Rotary Club take the matter under
consideration and give an expression
of sentiment for the guidance of the
proponents Of the program.
Colonel Savage was graciously re-
ceived, and his presentation Of the
plans for monster celebration of the
Fourth of July in this Sesqui- Centen-
NAL year of American independence
seemed to meet with favor on the
part of his audience, but an express
sion of sentiment was held In abey-
ance pending reference to the public
affairs committee of the club.
Music from stock saws was produo
ed by John C. Johnston of the E. G..
Atkins Company of Indianapolis,
Indiana for the entertainment of the
Rotarians. Mr.. Johnston has broad
cast his saw harmony from radio sta
tons in all parts of the country, and
his demonstration last evening was
not only heard with great pleasure
but also watched with considerable
interest.
Using a standard violin bow, Mr..
johnson played the plaintive strains
of "Old Black Joe" and Let Me Call
You Sweetheart" He also skilfully
manipulated his musical saws produc-
ing tunes by rapping his unique in
strument with a soft hammer. In this
manner he played Kentucky Home"
When You and l Were Young, Mag
gle, and several other selections.
Reporting for the Augusta Rotary
Club committee on the proposed mid
summer meeting of the Kennebec
valley clubs, Fred w. Burrill told the
members that his club group was
cooperating with similar committees
from the Gardiner Club. which in
augurated the idea of a big field day
observance at some point on the
coast.
President Herman r. Mansur out
lined certain policies for the club
year and appointed w. p. Perry and
Harris S. Woodman as advisers to
the boys work committee, with in
structions to develop some program
of activity in this field of the vlub's
endeavor.
Three members of the budget COM
mittee We're also named by President
Mansur,-Willis E. Swift, Everett V.
Perkins and Chester A. Fuller. A
plan for public concert with H.
Whitefield Latte Of Chicago as the
artist was presented. and received
the approval of the club. Mr.. Latte
appeared in private recital at the
meeting of the club week ago and
his hearers pronounced him most
remarkable singer. The concert ar
lists regular season has been con-
cluded and it is only by special ar
rangement that he will be available
for recital appearance in this city
at an arly date.

Newdick Reports
On Certified Seed
Potato Inspections

.Erlon L. Newdick, chief of the d.
vision of seed improvement and
plant industry, State department Of
agriculture, who has just returned
from Aroostook county where he has
been supervising the inspection of
certified seed potato shipments, stat
ed yesterday that the total number
Of carloads inspected was about 1900.
Seven inspectors have been engaged
in the work.
The total number Of carloads Of
certified seed potatoes inspected for
shipment to other New England and
Southern points, was about 100 less
than last year, Mr.. Newdick said.
This was due to the high price which
has prevailed the greater part Of the
time for table stock.
Regarding commercial table stock
potatoes, Mr.. Newdick declared that
1t is estimated there are about 1000
cars still left in Aroostook county.
The price is about $3.50 a barrel.
which is good as compared with last
year, but relatively low compared
with the price two or three months
ago.
b. The indications are that the plant
will be about normal. Mr.. Newdick
asserted that it is especially inter-
esting TO note the increased use of
tractors in Aroostook. By their in
creased use, the potatoes will be put
in about as soon as usual in spite OF
the lateness of the season.
