MARSHALL OPENS
HIS CAMPAIGN IN
NEW ENGLAND
“Brickbats Never Won,” He
Says, So He’ll Stick to the
Democratic Doctrine.
BOSTON. Aug. 26. —Governor Thom
as Marshall, of Indiana. Democratic
candidate for vice president, with Mrs.
Marshall, who is his constant compan
ion, arrived here today to open his cam
paign in the Pine Tree state.
"Throwing brickbats never won a
cause in any campaign,” he declared,
speaking of the charges brought against
Roosevelt by Penrose and Archbold.
"With the exception of a reference to
the immorality of the vast fund in past
campaigns." he continued, "I shall ad
here strictly to a presentation of the
Democratic issues.”
The governor was asked for a state
ment as to how the party leaders re
garded their chances for success of the
Baltimore ticket. He said:
“I was a lawyer before I went into
politics, and I never considered a case
won until the supreme court had hand
ed down its decision. While I do not
care to make any prophecy regarding
the outcome of the fall elections, my
faith in the ultimate success of the
Democratic party was never stronger
than it is at present.
Certain of Indiana.
"I will prophesy that in my home
state, Indiana—for 1 have a thorough
knowledge of the situation there—we
will be successful. Such knowledge I
do not possess of other sections of the
country, and I don't believe in express
ing superficial observations.
"In Indiana we are fighting with the
confidence of knowing we will be suc
cessful.
"I'm going about this campaign in my
own way. and I will present the Issues
in my own way. It is like carrying a
case to thes uprenie court, which in this
case is the people, and I'm inclined to
think that on its merits Governor Wil
son and myself will get the verdict.
"I did not think at first that the Pro
gressive strength at the middle West
primaries would make inroads on the
Democratic vote, and. judging from the
reliable reports, there has been a grad
ual falling off in this sentiment that
makes any loss negligible.”
Speakers Invade Maine.
Governor Marshall speaks tonight at
Portland: Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday he will speak at Augusta.
Bangor and Lewiston, respectively, and
unless otherwise directed by the na
tional committee, will then leave Maine
for his home.
He will be followed in Maine by
Speaker Champ Clark and the national
leaders of tho other parties. The Re
publican candidate for governor is Wil
• Ham T. Caines, of Waterville, now at
torney general of Maine. He is up for
election at the biennial state election
of September 9. Candidates for state
offices and for congressional honors
started to tour .Maine two weeks ago,
and rallies jtave been conducted nightly,
but Governor Marshall will be the first
outsider to appear.

CANDLER URGES
CARE IN PICKING
RECDJDER
Declares Office Is Second in
Importance in City—Primary
Plan Is Blocked.
With councilmen besieged for votes
by candidates for recorder, John S.
Candler, acting mayor, today urged that
council go slow’ in naming a man to
succeed Nash R. Broylee.
"It is the most important office in the
city government, with the exception of
mayor,” he said.
"There is a class of helpless people
over whom the recorder has almost ab
solute power. There is a class of bad
men and lawless men with influence
whom the recorder must punish and
hold in check.
"We all know the story of Jean Val
jean. There have been more pitiful
cases of men and boys ruined by the
courts in Georgia than that.
Must Have Heart and Nerve.
"The office demands a man of judi
cial mien, with a heart and with
nerve.
"From the viewpoint of the good of
the city, I don't think Recorder Broyles
has been promoted."
Calling on councilmen by telephone
and in person today for support were
Eugene Thomas, a young lawyer of the
firm of Thomas & King; Thomas H.
Goodwin, a lawyer who has been a can
didate for mayor and for recorder, and
W. H. Preston, who has been assistant
recorder for eight years.
Mr. Thomas claimed 18 of the 30
members of council had already pledged
their support to him.
jrfmes Dodgen has announced for the
place. R. B. Ridley, justice of the
peace; George Johnson, police commis
sioner and a candidate for the office of
recorder against Nash Broyles, Malvern
Hill, a lawyef and s candidate against
Judge Broyles, are expected to formally
announce for the place within the next
few days.
Primary Plan Blocked.
An amendment to the city charter,
granted at the last session of the legis
lature gives council the authority to
fill all unexpired terms of city offices.
The recorder is regularly elected by the
people.
A movement to have the people ex
press their preference at the city pri
mary of October 2 was blocked by the
early adjournment of the city Demo
cratic executive committee today. Hen
ry Garrett, a member of the commit
tee, had prepared a resolution to sub
mit the matter to the people. But he
arrived just after adjournment. On the
motion of Charles Allen, the committee
was adjourned a few minutes after it
convened. October 2 was named as the
date of the primary, and Chairman J.
Y. Smith named a sub-committee of
ten, with T. C. Pool as chairman, to
conduct the primary. It was conceded
that J, o. Cochran would be named sec
retary of the sub-committee, and he
will, therefore, have active charge of
the primary.
Hinges on Judgeship Race.
Judge Broyles was a candidate for
the unexpired term in the court of ap
peals of Judge Arthur Pow ell. The seat
is now held by Judge Joseph Pottle, an
appointee of Governor-elect Slaton. If
Judge Broyles has been nominated, he
will take his seat immediately follow
ing the general state election the first
Wednesday In October, the date of the
city primary.
All the plans to succeed him as city
police court judge are, of course, con
tingent on his nomination for the court
of appeals. The indications now are
that the convention will have to decide
whether he or Judge Joseph Pottle is
the successful candidate.
MAN. 40, IS HELD ON
CHARGE OF HUGGING
AND KISSING GIRL, 14
Charged with hugging and kissing
against her will a fou'teen-year-old
girl, G. E. Wester, of 150 Lee street,
West End, is being held today al police

December 16, 1773
A little affair occurred in New England
that went down in history as
The Boston Tea Party
“There's a Reason” -t
An English King had told his subject colonists that if they drank
tea they must pay a tax on it—-an unjust tax that made revenue, not for
Americans but for Englishmen.
It was a tax that increased the high cost of living of those days—and our
forefathers went to t-he wharf where the tea ships were moored, split open the
tea chests and spilled their contents into Boston Harbor, thus producing the
largest and most expensive bowl of tea the world has ever seen.
Today
Is repeated practically the same thing.
The Brazilian Coffee Trust, operated by foreign money kings,
working outside the control of our National Anti-trust laws, have imposed
a tax upon American Citizens which has raised the price of even the
cheapest grade of coffee 1 5c to 25c per lb.
During three past years this trust has taken Hundreds of Millions of Dol
lars from the pockets of American Citizens. I
It has given Brazil 85 Millions of Dollars with which to retire her National
Bonds.
It has given Brazil 10 Millions of Dollars to pay interest, on her bonds. 9
It has given Brazil a “bought and paid for’’ supply of coffee on hand worth
90 Millions of Dollars and —
v ft has paid millions upon millions of profit into the coffers of the Foreign
Money Kings, and yet the coffee people report a falling off in sales of about 200
million pounds in the past two yeears.
Why this Heavy Reduction?
Until recently the ever increasing army of Postum users, thought only of
health as a “reason” for quitting coffee. Now Economy is another "reason.”
A third “reason,” Improved Flavor, has come in with
Instant Postum
prepared instantly by placing a spoonful in a cup and pouring hot water over it.
This presents a delicious beverage much resembling high grade Java in color and taste, but abso
lutely pure and free from the coffee drug “caffeine” or any other harmful ingredient.
Health, conveniem-f', flavor and economy have induced people to change from coffee to Postum then
follows better health, freedom from headache, indigestion, nervousness and other coffee ills,
/
The Result—
In hundreds of th( usands of American homes today, coffee is forgotten ami Postum has become the
regular table beverage. It is an American drink made by Americans from American products.
