Editorial Comment
A Maine Ripple
(Boston Herald)

There Is a ripple on the never too
placid surface of Maine politics in
the announcement that Gov. Brew
ster will have opposition at the June
primaries, instead of the unopposed
nomination for second term which
party custom sanctions True. the
opposition appears far from formid-
able, but it's existence is suggestive
of a rift which certain elements of
the Republican party in Maine
would gladly widen If they could.
They hardly dare to come out in the
open, but they are eager to make
things embarrassing for Gov. Brew
ster.
Such speeches as the young Pine
, Tree state executive made here in
Massachusetts yesterday. and for
that matter his utterances and atti-
tude during his term, particularly in
his vigorous campaign of Maine
publicity. have esta blished the con-
viction, outside of his state. that he
has made good. Within Maine. the
intense bitterness of the 1924 pre-
primary campaign is pretty well
forgotten. The Governor is far
stronger than when he was elected,
in spite of several episodes that
have developed local sore spots-as
tH6 tlSHteHlnS up VI ulSClpHHS az
the state prison and the removal or
a sheriff who was too good a fellow.
The water power issue. long a
smouldering volcanoAin Maine poll
tics, is hardly due fofNan explosion
this year, as the Republican plat
form has a plank reaffirming the
traditional policy which opposes ex-
port of power.
Yet one influence or another
there are several guesses-leads one
Arthur Thayer of Bangor into the
contest for the gubernatSrial nomi-
nation. He has had an cratic politi-
cal career. with admitted wander
ings from Republican ranks. and
will surprise everybody II he cuts
much of a figure. Maine Repub-
licans, neither in the June primary
nor in the September election, are
likely to forget that they cherish the
reputation of the state as political
barometer, and that the party, par
ticularly here in New England, has
much at stake in the so-called off,
year elections of next fall.

The Veil
I think and think: yet still I fall
why does this lady year a veil?
Why thus elect to mask her face
Beneath that dainty web Of lace?>
The tip of small nose see,
And two red lips, set curiotisly
Like twin-born cherries on one stem.
And yet she has netted even them.
Her eyes, it's plain. survey with ease
Whatever to glance upon they please
Yet whether hazel gray. or blue,
Or that even lovelier lilac hue:
1 cannot guess; why-why deny
Such beauty to the passer-by?
Out of bush a nightingale
May expound his song; beneath that
veil
A happy mouth no doubt can make
English sound sweeter for its sake.
But then why muffie in, like this.
What every b1ossomed wind would
kiss?
Why in that little night disguise
A daybreak face. those starry eyes?

the under side of the panel.
This completes the wiring of the
unit.
Procure a length of rubber, cover
standard lamp cord wire long enough
to run from your set, or the position in
which you will use the unit, to the
nearest source of current supply out
let. such as a floor lamp or wall outlet.
Connect one end with the plug sup
piled with the transformer. Connect
the other end with n standard plug
such as is used to plug into a wall re-
ceptacle. If you are going to plug into
a lamp socket, get a socket plug in
place of the prong plug.
Add Push Type Switch.
1t is a good idea to add a standard
cord push type switch at point about
2 feet away from the current supply
unit, so that the lighting current can
be disconnected without pulling out or
unscrewing the plug.
The unit is very easy to adjust and
operate. There are only three termi-
nails to be connected with the set. thus
eliminating the necessity of connecting
two 45-volt "B" batteries together.
