He drew applause when he demanded “fewer laws and better laws,” and when he denounced ‘“regimentation cracking down.” The declaration that the Federal Government “cannot run business” also drew applause. i 4~ R Deer Hunters Out on First Day of Season RT There was & migration to the hills today from Juneau as the deer hunters observed the first day of the open seasan which lasts until November 15 'Advance reports ‘aré that deer are plentiful this season and it was expected there would be venison in town by this evening. The bucks, the only kind the hunt- ers can take and stay within the law, are reported high in the peaks at this season and most the hunt- ers expect to do some strong-back work carrying them out. Assistant District Attorney George W. Folta, the bear king, and G. H. Skinner, Chief Clerk of the Al- aska Road Commission, headed -one party going out this morning and were keeping. it a deep, dark secret where they had their buck tied a tree.

The entire train—air cooled for the first time in a presidential campaign—will be given over to the Landon party, the many local and state leaders who will join the train for conferences between stops, and to newspaper men and photo- graphers. Adjoining the Governor's car will} be two cars for newspaper men. Next | will come a special lounge car to accommodate the political leaders | who join the train for a short time| in various states. Then will come| another Pullman for the over-| flow. There is also a baggage narl in which a dark room may be set up, for photographers to develop pictures enroute. Train To Be Crowded The Governor's aides are con- cerned about whether they will have room for all who want to join the train. As an example of the large number of party figures who will seek to see the candidate on msl Jaunt across the country, it was ppinted out, that forty-eight Colo- rado Rgpublicans will be aboard the | special at La Salle, Colo, when the| Landon party starts the trip to| Pennsylvania and New York.

But capture of the bandwagon is an- other thing entirely—or at least most_politicians think it is. PSYCHOLOGY IMPORTANT Although it is not always true, the sayin that “as Maine goes, so goes the nation” has come to have a wide acceptance among voters generally. BSome Democrats speak of it as 2 Republican invention. Since Maine is normally a Republican state, it may be counted on to go Republi- can in Republican years, and some- times ‘also in Democratic years, The facts do not even warrant an assumption, with respect to the Presidential election, that “as Maine goes, so goes Maine.” Four years ago the state elected a Dem- ocratic Governor in September, but ,voted for Hoover in November; for ,the state election and the national election not only are divided by a matter of months, but often are waged on entirely differcnt issues. This, however, is the factual side of sthe business and politics very often does not -rest on'a factusl base at all’ It deals instead theories and. psychological ealcula- tions. « ‘With regard to Maine, the politicians are interested not so much in what the returns actually mean, as in the interpretation which the public may place upon them. CUES THE BANDWAGON There can be no doubt, for in- stance, that when Maine went Democratic in September of 1932, the event made a profound impres- sion throughout the country. It did not mean, as it turned out, that the Republican national ticket had lost Maine. Furthermore, had the result been the other way, and had the September election return- ed a substantial Republican major- been defeated in the nation in No- vember. But it did mean that the Repub- lican managers had suffered a shock and a surprise, and the psychologi~ {Continued on Page Fourk Embassy have left here for Esearial, 40 miles distant, to investigate re- ports that an unnamed American thas been held a prisoner there since the Civil War started.
