Miller Displays Little Interest In Fall Election
Miller Oct 7 There is concern over the lack of interest in the coming election with no speakers planned locally and no full party ticket. Voters here are fewer than in eastern parts, though a close result could still decide the outcome. In McKinley Bryan days national figures spoke here and torchlight processions were common. Today the campaign is largely local and uncompetitive.

Prison sentences adjusted by pardon board for two men
In January 1930 Rosenbaum had 64 days left of a 250 dollar sentence for keeping and storing Squor to evade the law, choosing to serve time rather than pay 740 dollars in fines. He remained in Union jail. Westgrafe’s five year statutory offense sentence in Edmundston was reduced to two and a half years, per the board’s recommendation, with a July 27 1929 sentencing date.
