GOVERNOR POINTS
Continued from Page one)

woman's vote into elections a few
years ago the old time belief in
party government had in some meas
ure lost it's grip. Tracing political
history for a few moments, the gov
ernor pointed out that the two
party system had proved most ef-
ficacious with the Anglo Saxon ma
tions in the past and it was his firm
conviction that the faith of the peo-
pie should rest in it at the present
time.
The menacing head of the bloc
system has risen up in this nation"
said the speaker and he went on to
state that if it were given free rein
conditions in the United States
would come to the same pass that
that they are now in in many
European nations.
Tie Importance of the elections in
= ,:ember can not be magnified, the
so ernor said, as at that time the
eyes of the entire nation will be on
M~ine. Never was the call for SER
y, : clearer, he said, and he added
that supporters of the Coolidge al
nnstration expected Maine to
stand behind the president and his
administration. The governor said
that the Republican party could sub
NIT to the people with confidence the
record of the administration in this
State for the past two years.
Senator Hinckley in opening his
talk said that two weeks ago he had
left his work to take the stump for
Brewster because he felt that Gov
ernor Brewster was not getting a
square deal. He stressed the belief
that the people of the State owe the
governor second term by a custom
as old as the State itself.Mr. Hinck-
ley answered many Of the charges
that have been made during the past
two years against the administra-
ton. In mentioning the State prison
scandal he charged that the news
papers of Maine had been unfair in
holding back much news which
should have been put before the
people. He maintained that Governor
Brewster had tried all methods OF
clearing the matter up and that in
the end he was forced to take 1t be-
fore the bar of public opinion.
Mrs. Quimby urged strict adher-
ence to old line Republicanism in the
coming election, especially in the
primary. The speaker told at some
length Of the insurgency in the Mid
die Western States, saying that be-
cause of it many inferior senators
had been sent to Washington.

Editor Magee Freed
Manslaughter Charge
In Killing of Lasseter

East Las Vegas, n. NJ, June 10
P)-Carl Magee. Albuquerque editor.
was freed Of a charge of manslaugh-
ter by a directed verdict of the court
tonight.
District Judge Luis E. Armiio
granted the motion for a directed
verdict short time after the open
ing of the night session of court.
Magee shot and killed John B. Las
setter, state highway employee, last
August during a fight with former
District Judge David J. Leahy, poll
teal enemy.
The granting of the motion came at
the end of a two day trial during
which the prosecution introduced the
testimony of eight witnesses, includ-
ing Leahy.
1T was the only thing the court
could do, in my judgment" declared
District Attorney Chester II. Hunk
er, the prosecutor.
Testimony that Carl C. Magee was
the victim and not the agressor in
nSht With former Judge David ].
Leahy was given in the editors trial.
Leahy declared his reason for at
lacking Masee when the two met in
the lobby of a hotel here, was that
IN one of the numerous articles
about me, in substance and effect, he
had expressed the wish that he would
like to meet me, man to man, and
take me to a cleaning
I didn't feel like starting anything
as long as l held the position of
judge" Leahy testified, "but when I
saw Magee in the hotel lobby my
memory of those attacks came back
to me and I instantly concluded to
give him the opportunity to meet me,
man TO man. / walked up to him
and said:
I've meet, man to man, now
Magee didn't say anything"
Leahy's story of the fight agreed
with that of James Wheaton. an
Electrician, and w. II. Kelly, who
witnessed the shooting.
Leahy knocked the editor to the
floor, 1t was testified,
Even while Magee was living on
the floor, Judge Leahy was standing
over him beating him." Wheaton tes-
titled.
Magee was on his side when he
nred three shots at his assailant and
Lassiter was killed by a bullet while
ne was attempting to pull Judge
Leahy off Magee."
On cross examination Leahy adj
Inltted having expressed to friends on
several occasions the desire to beat
up Magee."
Following series of published at
tacks on the courts of the state. Ma
gee was convicted of libelling Chief
Justice j. W. Parker. of the New
Mexico Supreme court, in July. 1928.
and was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary by Judge Leahy. He was par
ooned by Governor James F. Hinkle
before he had served any time.
A year later Judge Leahy sen.
fenced Magee to three months in
Jail for contempt OF court, but Gov
ernor Hinckle again issued a pardon.

Light on How Rival
Machines FunctiOned
In Penn. Primary Race

Washington, June 16-(P)-Some
inside. details Of the workings Of the
rival political machines in eastern
and western Pennsylvania during the
recent Republican primary were
barred today by the senate campaign
rund committee.
Leaders Of both the, vare-Beidle-
man and the Pepper-Fisher organi-
cations were subjected to rapid-fire
of cross examination by SenatorReed
Democrat, Missouri, and other MEM
bers as the committee continued it's
search for the sources of funds in the
100000 primary.
Harry A. Mackey, chairman Of the
statewide organization Of Represen-
tative Ware. the successful senatorial
candidate: Joseph n. Mackrell. a
Ware leader in Pittsburgh, and Mayor
Charles A. Kline, Of Pittsburgh. a
lieutenant Of the Pepper-Fisher or
ganization, were the witnesses.
The mayor and Mackrell each had
a rather uncomfortable half hour or
more on the stand. Mackey was the
principal witness Of the day and he
maintained that there had been no
illegal expenditures nor purchasing
of votes in the primary and that the
stuffing Of ballot boxes would have
been impossible even II there had
been a desire to resort to such tao
tics.
The trail of prohibition again ran
across the hearing as William A.
White, city editor, and Frederick H.
Nury, a reporter. of the Pittsburgh
Press. were questioned about the re-
moval from Pittsburgs to Philadel-
phia of Frederick C. Baird, prohibi-
ton administrator, just before the
primary election.
They testified Baird had clamped
the lid down pretty tight and that af-
ter he was sent away from Pitts
burgh the town Opened up" during
the remainder of the campaign and
good beer" once more found its way
into Pittsburgh saloons.
The newspapermen said they had
investigated and found the saloons,
gambling houses and Illicit clubs run
ming full blast with the saloons
prominently displaying Pepper Fish
err banners.
Called for questioning about an
address attributed to him by the
Press to the effect he would dis
charge city employees who did not sup
port the Pepper Fisher ticket, Mayor
Kline denied he had made such a
statement. He explained he could
not have made such a statement be-
cause he had no way of finding out
how the employees voted and could
not discharge them for political rea-
sons since they were under civil SER
vice.
Both Chairman Reed and Senator
King, Democrat. Utah. questioned
Kline closely and he seemed to be
very vague as to what he had said
in any of his numerous political
speeches he made in Pittsburgh dur
ing the campaign. He was fairly
certain, however, that be had not
sought to intimidate the employees.

CITIZENS COUNCIL
ELECTION SCORED
South Washington Associa-
ton to Protest "Excommuni-
cation" to Commissioners.

Dissatisfied with the result of the
Citizens Advisory Council election and
declaring the council TO be other than
a representative body, the South
Washington Citizens Association.
meeting in the F'airbrother School,
Tenth and E streets, last night, voted
tc petition the Commissioners protest
ing against the council as not beng
representative because there are 3o,0oO
residents of Southwest Washington
with no voice in its actions.
Earlier II. A. REM, ST., delegate 10
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
ton, resigned as delegate, giving as
reason the "czar-like attitude OF the
president Of the federation. Mr.. REM
said his resignation is a protest
against the president of the fedora
ton, who, he stated, is unht Tor Inc 1he
position, and caters TO cliques. The
Commissioners were blamed for ac-
cepting the council in its present
makeup, with the whole city not rep
resented.
Says Pledges Were Ignored.
George NJ. Yeatman, president of the
association and delegate to the fedora
ton, said that assurance was given at
various times during the year that if
the Southwest section would put up a
candidate for the council he surely
would be elected. This. he claimed is
fair treatment to expect, as the entire
Southwestern section of the city has
but one citizens association, and the
population of the section is about
10000. There are about 45 associations
in the other three sections of the city,
Mr.. Yeatman pointed out. 1t will be
impossible for the council to appear
before Congress is a representative
body when there are so many thou
sands in this section who are ''eN
communicated
Robert Strobel, the association 5
candidate for the council, and the as
sociation's delegates, he said, were
promised the support of a number
of delegates, and were turned down
fiat" on election night. 1t appeared
that the Southwest was not wanted,
Mr.. Yeatman said, and its delegates
were even asked to withdraw the
name of their candidate. He said the
federation had never aided the South
west in a single thing.
Reporting for the executive com
mittee, President Yeatman recon-
mended that the association with
draw from membership in the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations. Mr..
REM, member of the committee,
who at the executive committee meet
moved that the committees recon-
mendation be not concurred in. While
favoring such move if complete sat
isfaction does not eventually come to
the association, Mr.. REM said it
would give the impression that I'VE
are quitting because we're peeved at
the defeat of our candidate" 1t was
voted to send the resolution disap-
proving of the council to the House
and Senate District committees and
the Commissioners. Mr.. Yeatman,
Richard E. Harris, Mr.: REM and
Frank A. Johnson were appointed to
draft the resolution.
A strong appeal will be made for
the creation of adequate Fairgrounds
for this community. James B. Ra-
leigh, Edward S. Brosnan, Jack No-
gel and Mrs. George Anderson were
elected to membership. President
Yeatman presided.
