Herbert Hoover and his campaign managers held a joyfest today over the 73y Maine went in yesterday's elections. ‘They pointed jubilantly to the old say- ing. “As Maine goes, so goes the Nation.’ Hoover had no formal comment w make, but Chairman Work of the Re-| publican national committee, Senaior Curtis, vice presidential nominee, and others were quick to express their pleas- ure over the large majority rolled up by the Republicans. “Maine has egain pointed the way,' | Dr. Work announced after a conference with the presidential candidate at the latter’s headquarters today. “We antici- pated a handsome majority in Maine, but the results far exceed our expscta- tions. They ‘oreshadow an overwhelm- ing majority for Hoover and Curtis in November. “The flattering majority in Maine has en unusual significance this year be- | cause the contest from the very first has assumed a national aspect in which every national issue was stressed by both sides. The Maine returns are doubly gratifying because the campaign was waged largely on the records and #chievements of the Coolidge adminis- tration and Republican Congress and merits and appeal of the Hoover-Curtis ticket. Called Record Breaker. “Eighty thous2nd September majority iz a record breaker for the Pine Tree Etate, It leaves no doubt that the voters are satisfied with the Republican party and are determined to see that it is continued in the control of the Go® “rnment.” Senator Curtis said: “The result in Maine is most gratifying. We had ex- pected, of course, a decisive Republican victory there, but the overwhelming ma- grfl_\' given the entire State ticket is dicative of what can be expected in November."” John H. Bartlett, Fostmaster General, expressed similar | on_those linss. &-ntiments in a formal statement. “The | cecided expression. of pro-Hoover views by the voters of Maine,” he said, “gives fine corroboration of the reports which | have come of Hoover sentiment in New | York State. i “There is a striking similarity be- | tween the people of upstate New York | and those of Maine. Their spirit is the 8ame. It certainly looks as if upstate New York will give Mr. Hoover a mil- lion lead when election day comes. i Chairman Work analyzed the result in Maine with a view to showing the First Assistant ¢ tional lines. the fight was made largely b THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

They | were seeking the psychological effect on {the country at large rather than mere the Republican national ticket. Seen as Straw Vote, Maine is the last of the States to hold its State elections prior to the No- l\‘tmber election. It does not vote for its presidential electors until Novembar |6, along with all the other States. | provides the only early election in the | whole Tnion today which may be con- sidered as a real straw vote, showing the way the national election may go eight weeks hence. True, the Nation has not always gone the way Maine has gone in the past, but generally it has done so. Back in 1884, when James G. Blaine, the “plumed knight,” was the Repub- lican candidate * for President against Grover Cleveland, Maine's September election was carried by the Republicans with a 20,000 plurality, but the country later went for Cleveland. Again in 1892, when Cleveland was elected President for the second time, Maine in Septem- ber of that year elected its Republican candidate for governor with a plurality of 12,000, and in more recent years Maine failed as a barometer when it went for Henry G. Cleaves, Republican candidate for governor, with a plurality of 14,000 and elected a Republican Sen- ator, although the country was carried by President Wilson over the Republi- can nominee, Charles Evans Hughes. Republican pluralities in Maine have been greatly increased since the women were accorded the vote. It is probable that the woman vote had much to_do | with the big plurality rolled up for Re- | publican candidates yesterday. ! Much work has been done among the | women, who are strongly organized in | | Maine. Prohibition has been stressed, | although it was not involved at all in | the election of Governor of Maine.” In- | deed, the Democratic candidate for gov- i | ernor, Mr. Moran, is one of the driest | of the drys However. the Republicans | ignored State is: in their campaign | this year and stressed the national is- sues, and prohibition has been recog- | ('nized as the main issue in the fight of | the Democrats to elect Gov. Smith to | the presidency. They have stressed, too, | the tariff issue in the Maine campaign. s they are doing in all the other New England States. Issues Are National. While Democrats may not have ac-| | cepted the challenge of the Republicans | to fight the Maine campaign out on na- i Mr. Moran d!'clured! again and again that the Maine election was merely a State election in which prohibition and other national issues | had no real part. He strove mightily to make water power the issue between the parties. but the Republicans would not have it so and apparently the voters have followed the Republican lead. The water power issue, so called, in Maine involved the exportation of hydro-elec- tric power developed to other States and to Canada. Mr. Moran took the posi- tion there should be no Yower exported. This has been a popular position in popularity of Hooverism and Republi- canism in that State. Hoover today learned of favorable | developments in Kentucky. J. Matt | Chilton, Kentucky nationai committee- | man, told him that yesterday's registra- | tion of voters in Louisville point to a ! sweeping Republican victory in the State Chilton said a Republi- can majority of 20,000 votes was indi- | cated in the registration. | Hoover will conduct a brief campaign | New Jersey early next week.

Indeed, there is a law on the statute books now pro- hibiting the export of power. Mr. Gardi- | ner said early in the campaign that he saw no reason why hydro-electric power should not be exported after all the needs of Maine had been cared for. But in the weeks of campaigning the Re- publicans practically ignored the water power issue and stuck to their campaign on national issues. Mr. Moran, by the way, had discarded a plank in the Dem- ocratic State platform which declared for export of water power. The Republicans in Maine have adopted a more intensive method of campaigning to carry their State elec- tions than in any other State. Mr. Gardiner and Senator Hale visited per- sonally every city, town and hamlet in the jurisdigtion of Maine. In each ssional district, Mr. Gardiner and Senator Hale were accompanied by the Representative from that District, or the candidate for election in that district.

November Victory Sure. ‘The results in Maine yesterday make the of the Republican national ticket in November a foregone conclu- sion so far as the Pine Tree State is concerned.

It is expected that the campaign for the November election from now on will be rather perfunctory in Maine. Had the Democrats made a surprisingiy good showing in the election yesterday, this might have been different. The head- quarters of each of the parties will be | maintamed and the Republicans will | watch carefully to see the trend of sen- | | timent and to make sure that they will not lose by too much overconfidence.

Y., September 11.—To familiarize himself with political con- ditions in the 13 Western States through which he will pass on h's first .sp!lkl‘ngl | tour of the presidential campaign. Gov. Smith has begun a series of informal, conferences with members of his party | | from the section west of the Mississippi. | His first caller, Gilbert M.

Others| are expected to be consulted before the | | Democratic presidential nominee starts | out next Sundav. | Mr. Hitchcocs assured the nominee | that Nebraska was beginning to rally | around his bannsr. The former Senator, who received ! Nebraska's vote for the presidential | nomination at Houston, said there was | as large a proportion of business and | professional men in Omaha coming out for Smith as there were in New York: that the German vote, largely lost since the war, apparently was returning to the fold in large numbers, and that the farmers and those who supported La Follette four years ago were indicating | an increased interest in the Smith cause. | Women Backing Hoover. A factor in Hoover's favor, Hitch- cock said, was rather general talk that the women were lining up behind the Republican nominee. “But against this,” he added, “there is a very large showing of farmers against Hoover. The farmers are not solely for Smith on his own account,” he went on, “but there is a widespread feeling among them that Hoover was unfriendly to them during the war.” Little evidence had appeared, the former Senator said, that prohibition or religion was figuring in the political minds of the Western States. While only one of the States the nominee will visit the first week of his tour solidly supported him at the Houston convention, all of those on his second week's schedule voted for him to the last delegate, and his managers are banking heavily on this part of the trip to impress the strong La Follette vote of 1924, Seventy-four convention votes went to Gov. Smith from these States— Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin—where 62 electoral votes will be at stake in November. Smith lieutenants also are counting on his St. Paul address, Sep- tember 27, carrying an appeal to South Dakota which also supported him at Houston. In their calculations, party chieftains also are considering that this territory in the pre-convention period was part of the backbone of the Republican forces in which Lowden had consider- able strength before he withdrew from the race for the nomination, and his cohorts disintegrated. With his speech at Milwaukee Sep- tember 29. Gov. Smith will wind up his Western tour and go on to Rochestcr for the “">w York State Democratic con- vention before returning to Albany Oc- tober 2 to prepare for his second drive While his plans for that are uncertain, it is likely that hc will concentrate on preparations for an Eastern trip and a visit to Chicago and Cleveland. Although dates are undecided, he is expected to invade Pennsylvania for a speech either at Philadelphia or Pifts- burgh and Massachusetts for an ad- dress at Boston. It is certain that he will speak somewhere in New Jersey, where his Republican opponent appears next Monday night for a speech at Newark.

Del., September 11.—Dela- ware Republicans are torn into factions over the nomination to bs made by to- day's State convention of a candidate | for governor. Frank V. du Pont, son of Coleman du Pont, is a delegate to the convention from Wilmington, while C. Douglas Buck, the son-in-law, is mentioned as a candidate for the gubernatorial nomi- nation.

If Sussex insists on keeping Short in the field, there was some talk of the up-State leaders of having Buck op- pose him. The fight is so bitter that there have been whisperings of a rump convention or a bolt from the regular convention’s action if Short is not nominated The nominations for United States Senator, lieutenant governor, Sta': treasurer, State auditor and presidential electors depend on the outcome of the gubernatorial nomination.

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. | With the presidential campaign at | | I*ngth swinging into the decisive stage, | Democratic leaders have counted noses | in the region that has given them most | anxiety—the South—and are now con- vinced it will remain “solid.” enough has elapsed, they think, to show whether the revolt captained by Senator Simmons of North Carolina and fo- mented by distinguished churchmen was likely to prove contagious as far as other prominent Southern Democrats | are concerned. As they now survey the | situation, Smith managers believe the worst is over, and that Dixie's 114 elec- | toral votes will be found anchored to traditional moorings on November 6. Meanwhile the Democrats are girding themselves for the hardest fight they have ever had to put up in the South. Except for Senator Simmons, no out- standing Southern Democratic politician has bolted the national ticket. Heflin of | Alabama, has not yet declared himself, but practically all the rest of the South’s representation "in Congress is in line. Senator Hugo Black, Heflin's colleague from Alabama, where anti-Smith senti- ment {s rampant, has announced his support of Smith and Robinson, and so | | has Gov. Bibb Graves. Anti-Smithite Defeated. | _One Senator from Texas, Earle B. | Mayfield, who was hostile to Smith, has just been defeated for renomination by a pro-Smith Democrat, Representative | Tom Connally. Senator Morris Shep- pard of Texas, author of the eighteenth | amendment. has pledged the Democratic | natfonal ticket whole-hearted support— | one of the proudest feathers in the Smith cap. Senator Walter F. George | of Georgia, who ran second to Smith in | the Houston convention, is actively on | the stump for the Democratic candi- | dates. All these men are appealing to their brethren not to commit party sui- cide by becoming “Hoover Democrats.” Of equal if not greater importance from the Smith standpoint is the una- | nimity with which the Southern Demo- | cratic press is back of the ticket. To | date, barring defections in two border | States—Tennessee and Oklahoma—no | newspaper South of the Mason and | Dixon line has renounced the Houston nominees. The Chattanooga News, own- | ed by George F. Milton, inveterate Mc- Adoo man. and the Daily Oklahoman of Oklahoma City. are the border State [ papers in revolt. In the “solid South” | itself. Democratic papers are marching shoulder-to-shoulder ~for Smith and | Robinson. Here and there. support is not 100 per cent enthusiastic, but in- variably they are asking their communi- ties to reman loyal to ancient Demo- cratic principles and forget the minor :‘sues of prohibition and religions preju- | ce. | Council of War Held. 1 There was recently a council of war on the Southern situation in Washing- ton at the offices of Senator Pat Har- rison, regional manager for the Demo- crats in Dixie. Among those who parti- cipated in the powwow were Senators Glass and Swanson of Virginia, and Senator Fletcher of Florida. There was agreement among them that conditions at this hour are dis- quieting. and, in spots, even serious. But there was no less unanipmity that danger will have disappeared" by elec- tion time. The principal and urgent necessity, it was decided. was to get out the immense Democratic vote. which never before has had to be poll- ed in anything like its full dimensions. at 8 P.M. each evening PLATINUMSMITHS ONDS Street ARTHUR J.
