For Co. Commissioner

Petition was filed wednesday at
the office of the secretary of State
by Fred l.. Leavitt of Turner, who
was Republican candidate for coun-
ty commissioner of Androscoggin

sioner showed 1921 votes for Leavitt
and 7644 votes for Edward T. Golf
of Lewiston, the Democratic candi-
date. whereas the votes actually cast
were 1887 for Leavitt and 1886 for
Golf, disputed ballots numbering SO.
Mr.. Leavitt asks that the governor
and council shall count and declare
for any person all votes appearing
on said returns to have been inten-
tionally cast for him, although his
name upon the return is misspelled
or written only the initial or initials
of his Christian name or names.
The petitioner asks that the gov
ernor and council shall find the per-
son having the highest number of
votes for the office of county COM
missioner in Androscoggin county,
declared elected; and that the gov
ernor and council shall cause the
said person so declared to be elected
to be notified thereof by the score:
tary of State, and to receive his GER
tifiCate of election.

Next Meeting Council, Friday. 10 A. M.

ences while in Europe on this last trip
was my meeting with the Japanese
delegates. one of whom l knew person
ally. He welcomed me most enthus-
iastically, saying: DR.. Thomas, 1 am
so glad you have come and while at
Geneva the Japanese accepted me as
a member of their official family. They
have the highest feelings of regard for
the United States, and their only wish
Is to be allowed to come and go free
ly, the same as the people of other ma
lions. They have no need for further
expansion, in fact, Japan refused the
offer made her by Spain to take over
the Philippine Islands. That is not
generally known" said DR.. Thomas,
but 1t is fact, nevertheless"
DIR. Thomas has been requested to
address the local Rotary Club short
ly, and will at that time discuss the
league more fully. His opinions on
matters Of national importance are as
valuable as those of any authority
that can be consulted, as he has made
a close study of world politics and
has been especially fortunate in being
able to do so at closer range than
most educators. The members of the
Rotary Club are fortunate in having
been able to secure his services.

DIR. THOMAS SAYS
U. S. MAY SOON SEE
WAY into The LEAGUE

IF the League of Nations contin-
ues to demonstrate Its ability to
smooth out difficulties among the
smaller nations of Europe for the next
two or three years, I consider 1t prob
able that the United States will then
be ready to consider entering the
league with reservations" said DR..
Augustus o. Thomas, president Of the
World Federation of Educators. who
recently returned from a tour of the
educational centers Of Europe and WIS.,
tied the league conferences now being
held at Geneva, while abroad.
The reservations which the United
States will demand will by that time
be appreciated by the European coun-
tries who are participating in the
present league" declared DR.. Thomas,
for they will be framed in such
terms as to provide safeguards for the
smaller countries and their interests"
He feels that the United States can
not we'll afford to stand aloof from the
league, and gives the following as
some of the essential reasons for our
participation:
THE United States this year will
leave more than 700 millions Of dol
lars in Europe through her tourists
alone, and we are so closely connected
with the Continent through our vast
channels OF trade that it becomes es-
sential for us to have an understand
ing with the countries in the league,
and voice in their deliberations"
DR.. Thomas believes that the func-
tons of the league should be of an
advisory nature rather than legisla-
tive or mandatory. THE league will
not be a success in the next 100 years
If the countries participating in it at
tempt to make it's functions legisla-
tive" he declared. "At present the
more important questions bearing on
the issues relating to the larger coun-
tries are settled rather by the council
shan by the league"
The average layman has no very
clear conception of the aims or pur-
poses of the League of Nations" he
added. THE league is to the nations
Of the world what the Rotary and XII
wants clubs are to a city-it provides
an opportunity for its members to
meet on a common ground, to learn
each others needs and to arbitrate
matters which might otherwise result
in serious disputes and even war. The
primary function of the league is the
prevention of war. With the constant
advances made by modern scientists,
the next war is going to be a most I'M
healthy affair" he concluded.
Asked as to his opinion of the pos
sibility of a future war between the
United States and Japan, DR.. Thomas
said vehemently:
THE Japanese people do not want
war. They have the friendliest feel
ings toward the people of the United
States. One of my pleasantest expert
