A raid was made on a hotel in

raid followed a. series of complaints
which have reached the police
lately. Two women were taken into

Following the raid. a. city official
was quoted as saying that Norwalk'

vivors of the crew of a. schooner
wrecked in the hurricane of August
28. They had floated on a raft with-
out food or water for four days or
more and were more than ready to
be rescued for while they were able
to get on board the ship which saved
them. they collapsed then although
they recovered in :1 short time.

being on a raft for four days and
nights is likely to be monotonous.
The raft is not under control and
its passengers are forced to specu-E

worse than the fate of the sailors,

Those who know much about the

Maine. where “'illiam 1’2. Patton-
frnil. the Democratic candidate for
Governor. is making as gallant .1
fight against the Ku Klux Klan as:
he made at the Democratic Nation-
:11 Convention. has made two politi-
cal revelations of national impor-
tance. One is that the Klan is de-
finitely a Republican adjunct in the
United states today. The other is
that. the La Follette-Vvheeler party
so regards it and is making a joint
attack on the Coolidge-Dawes ticket
and the Klan in the interest of the
Demoeratlc ticket.
To Maine have been rushed all the
Republican speakers who dare. to
defend the Klan. either by indirect
praise (like Gen. Dawes). by open
alliance (like. Senator \‘l'atson of
Indiana) or by the soothing use of
silence ((like President Coolidge).
And although‘ next Monday's election
in Maine is only for State officers.
a Senator and ongressmen —— and
Presidential Electors will not be
chosen until November — the fight
there has grown national. For if
Mr. Pittangall is defeated. the Klan
will have gained control of a sox*c\‘—
eign State. and the Republican Na-
tions Committee. will use the out-
come 0 assert that the victory had
nothing to do with the Klan. but
that it means a Republican ground-
swell.
For these reasons all Democrats,
all cntl-Klansmcn and the indepen-
dent-party forces are striving to gain
the victoryd'or Mr. Pattangall. For
these same reasons President Coo-
lidge has been advised to defer any
anti-Klan statement he may be forc-
ed to make until the good Repub-
lican Klansmen of Maine have been
given an opportunity to save the
State for the G. O. P. If he yields
to such an argument, and thus seals
his party's alliance with the Klan
in Maine as it has been sealed in
Indiana. whatever he says afterward
should receive no consideration.
It is very important for America
that Mr. Pattangall should win. and
the Republican National Committee
should be defeated in Maine.
