 Declaring that the hope of the people, as in the past, lies in the democratic party to which they vii! now turn for relief" Mayor F. liar old Dubord of Waterville, tempo rary chairman of the convention, called on the party to look up with renewed vigor. determination and hope"
 He asserted that today in state and nation we arc facing graver problems than at any time since the World war" and decried the false optimism which has not been based on actual conditions but which rather has been urged to be- oloud the issues and conditions as they really existed"
 He urged that the democratic party in the state be revitalized ''so as to make it an effective agent botl' for proposing those measures which reed criticism and for holding the dominant party to a stricter respon- sibility."

The President and Mrs. Hoover have
90 successfully instituted and carried
out their official program for the
Winter that already three Of the i'm
portant events have been removed from
the calendar and this week the dinner
IN honor Of the Vice President will
close the list of State functions for
1880 and New Year day will open the
calendar for the coming year. There is
delightful informality in State receptions
at the White House this season, an
tnformality which does not rob the
traditional entertainments Of their
dignity, and praise is given Mrs. Hoover
for innovations not known in the
Mansion in many years.
Mrs. Hoover entertained a luncheon
party at the White House last week for
Miss Elizabeth Hughes, daughter Of the
Chief Justice and Mrs Hughes, whose
marriage to Mr.. William Thomas Cos
sett Of New York will take place Friday
In the home Of her parents and on
many occasions of less formal nature
Mrs. Hoover and the public met. Quite
the crowning event for the President
and Mrs. Hoover outside the White
House was the dinner given for them
by the Vice President and Mrs. Gam.
Notwithstanding, Mrs. Hoover had made
a trip TO Norfolk to christen the Dollar
liner, President Hoover" she was most
animated during the evening remaining
for the film show which followed.
This week the President and Mrs
Hoover return the hospitality Of the
Vice President by giving a dinner in
his honor, and then they will devote
themselves to Christmas entertainment
chiefly to their three grandchildren
These charming representatives of the
third generation are comfortably en-
sconced in the big sunny rooms at the
east and Of the top floor Of the Man
sion, quarters familiar to both Pegg!
