More than 75000 people shouted joy as Governor Walsh arrived at Brockton Fair yesterday afternoon. Cannon boomed and cavalry and infantry escorted him as he stood in his carriage to acknowledge the ovation after a long ride from Boston.
Governor's Day at the fair draws dignitaries from six foreign consuls and Congressmen, including Samuel W. McCall. Lincoln Beachey performs seven somersaults from 6000 feet, introducing a new side flop tail slide stunt. Horse show crowns Masterpiece at Allison Island Farm, Alfred Vanderbilt’s Oakland Farm dominant, and a Brockton Agricultural Society four day fair closes with Fairhaven football edging Brockton 7 to 6.
Our trimmed hat line marks a peak in value and care. An extensive millinery department offers untrimmed shapes praised for style and material, with unbeatably low prices. Free trimmed service helps customers choose the right style, supported by a full range of ostrich fancies and flowers at lower-than-usual prices.
Franz Hugo Krebs offers Kipling a paid U S tour to recite verses with Red Cross receipts to England and allied nations. Kipling declines due to urgent work helping Belgian refugees and protecting university towns from further harm.
The writer laments Kipling cannot accept an offer and defends England against invasion fears. He argues the Royal Navy outweighs Germany, praises English humanity, and notes American support for resisting Teuton aggression. He recalls Opium War precedents and ends with a postscript about a Brooklyn tale.
The Democratic slate including Governor Walsh and Attorney General Boynton gathered with Governor-elect Oakley Curtis arriving for a late reception. Delegates outlined planks on Wilson support, income tax, referendum powers, budget veto items, woman suffrage, and prison reform as party unity and a large convention agenda surfaced with committee assignments across statewide districts.
A Worcester gathering showed Republican support for McCall and other leaders amid a mixed platform. The document praised neutrality in foreign affairs, opposed changes to the Massachusetts judiciary, and invited Progressive Republicans to join, highlighting opposition to wartime excess and support for tariffs, a merchant marine, and federal charters. Notable attendees included Henry Cabot Lodge and Samuel Winslow.
Six light brown hairs found in a splintered wood carrying receptacle at the rear of Dr. Lionel Dudley’s car are claimed by Mildred Sullivan’s father and aunt to match the girl’s hair color. Authorities tie the find to a midnight ride to the Pelletier home, with search plans and vehicle damage noted as evidence in the case.
Sheriff Bryson told the Post man that the hair is vital evidence supporting the theory the body was carted off in a machine. Newspaper men who discovered the hair turned it over to authorities, one of them being the Post man.
