BO0ST T0 C0OLIDGE G. 0. P. Leaders See in Elec- | tior Returns Forecast of November Verdict. BY N. 0. MESSENGER. Stafr Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK, N. Y., September 9.— The expected has happened in Maine. The Republicans in wise generalship drew a draft in the name of President Coolidge on the latent Republican strength in that state, as shown by previous elections, and it has been amply honored. Say what one pleases, the result of the election and the turnout of the big Republican ma- jority can oniy be construed as fore- casting a similar response from the Voters when the presidential electors wre chosen in November. The appeal 10 the voters in the name of President (oolidge was too pronounced to be disregarded. 1t cannot be said in verity that the appeal for support of the President did not figure or that f does not forecast a like response November 4. ‘aulty Tactics by Democrats. The Democratic management chose fo put all its eggs in one basket under the cover of a state campaign on the issue of the Ku Klux Klan and they have gone smash. The Demo- cratic state committee flooded the state with the question: “Has the Ku Kiux Klan anything in the life of Maine?” Tt would seem that the an- swer will be in the affirmative to the extent of showing that the Klan issue did not outweigh the larger issue of Republican domination of the state and determination of the voters to continue that domination in the hands of the Republican party. Star's Foreeast Verified. The Star's forecast of three weeks ago as to the senatorial outcome and the result ia the four congressional districts has been verified even in the case of the Lewiston district, where there had been thought to be a pos sibility of the Democrat winning this district on former occasions hav- ing gone Democratic. Although presidential electors were not at stake at this election, and it had been argued that the outcome would not be a true indication Republican sentiment in the country 4t large, it is said by political lead- ers that the result can not fail in the rcumstances to have a profound psychological effect. It will stead: it is said. possible wavering Repul licans and keep them in the fold. Th IS an element not underestimated importance by politicians. It will also encourage the Republicans to renew- ed activity. Warn of Overconfidence. Some of the leaders here it must not be allowed, however. to induce to overconfidence the part of Republican workers nor to flag- Ring of efforts. That is one danger 1hey visualize, so it ill be their plan from now on to urge their work€rs to renewed effort and to keeping the lines intact all along. It will be interesting to what the effect of the Ku Klux Klan in other States may be after the example Maine has shown in refusing to allow the Klan issue to break into regular party lines. ay that New Angle The f Klan Issue. ssue is burning in more than one State. Republican leaders who have wondered whether President Coolidge was wise in not denouncing the Klan following John W. Davis' example, now have another angle from which to view the question. The Democrats had hoped to earry at least one district in Maine to start off their move to capture the next House of Representatives, but are thus rebuffed at the outset. Toward the end of the campaign they had even hoped po bly to pick cff the Portland district on account of some dissatisfaction with the Republican candidate there. In the opinion of conservative Re- publicans here, the Maine outcome is valeulated to set the campaign off th renewed vigor and with every prospect brightening for Republican success on the presidential, senatorial and congressional tickets. They also foresee a tightening of the contest between President Coolidge and Sena- tor La Follette, as the twc leading contestants.

COUZENS IS FOUGHT HARD. Record Vote Expected in Michigan Senatorial Race. By the Associated Press, DETROIT, Mich., September With a record vote for a primary election forecast by political observ- €rs, voters of Michigan are today choosing _between three candidates for the Republican nomination for governor. On the Democratic -ballot there are no contests, except a last- minute opposition in the guberna- torial race, where it has been an- nounced a “sticker” vote will be sought. United States Senator James Couz- | ens. incumbent, is opposed by Judge Arthur J. Tuttle of the United States District Court, for the Republican nomination for the short term, made by the appointment of Couzens to fill the vacancy, while Judge Tuttle and . Daniel W. Tussing of Lansing are opposing the Senator for the short term. The name of Hal Smith, Detroit atorney, also appears on the Republican ballot, but Smith with- drew from the race after the bal- lots were printed. and, in a statement, asked his supporters to favor Judge | Tuttle, Dry Isxue Injected. enator Couzens. a resident of De- troit, claims strong support in Wayne County. Judge Tuttle, who has made his campaign on charges of party irregularity against Couzens, has the support of the Anti-Saloon Leaguc, while Tussing is credited with being a Ku Klux Klan candidate. Gov. Alex J. Groesbeck is running for nomination for his third term, standing on his record. This record has been challenged by Herbert I Baker, who has campaigned against | the governor and who claims farmer and labor support. Charles R. Sligh of Grand Rapids, also claims support of farmers and strength in northern | Michigan. W. W. Potter, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission, i running on a platform of economy: James W. Hamilton, sponsor of the proposed anti-parochial school amend- | ment to the Constitution, campaigned | on that issue: Rev. Frederick Perry of Adrian is said to be the Ku Klux { Klan candidate. and Lieut. Gov. Thomas Read, asking farmers’ sup- port, is the seventh candidate. One Democratic Content. The only Democratic contest of statewide interest is in the contest | for the gubernatorial nomination. H. | Dale Souter, Grand Rapids attorney, announced late last week that he | | would run against Edward Fernsdorf of Hudson, aithough only the latter’s | name appears on the ballot. Dean Mortimer Cooly of the University of Michigan, is unopposed for the Lem- ocratic nomination for United State: Senator. = There are no contests in virtually all of the congressional districts for the nomination for Representative, in some places on both tickets. Candi- dates for lieutenant governor and for county and municipal offices will also be selected. There are also a number of local issues up for decision, among them several charter amendments, in- | cluding- one to permit the city to establish rapid transit lines in Detroit.
