(?—Republi- cans chalked up today a ninth con- | secutive Maine election triumph, but their senatorial candidate won by a slimmer margin than in 1948. Gov. Frederick G, Payne won Owen Brewster’s Senate seat with 59 per cent of 230,000 votes. Dem- ocrat Roger P. Dube got 35 per Democrat-independent. In 1948 — also a presidential year — Sen. Margaret Chase Smith rolled up a record 71.4 per cent to a Democrat's 28.6. The total then was 233,000. Yesterday's biggest total 241,000 — came in a four-way race for governor. “BRAND NEW ELECTRIC PORTABLE § ‘| Dube, 79,710; Grant, 14,956. SORRY — NAME MUST BE WITHH!

Joseph R. McCarthy. The prospect of warm weather was expected to boost the normal vote total by about 400,000 in this primary election which has gen: |erated bitterness and controversy | across the nation. The state’s 3,224 polling places were due to open about 8 a. m., and some of them were to remain open as late as 9 p. m. The issue at stake was the meth- ods used by McCarthy in his drive | against the Communists he claimed were in the Democratic adminis | tration. Some people saw this cam- paign as the highest type of | “Americanism.” Others a ‘‘smear” campaign recklessly tainting the characters of innocent people. McCarthy’s chief opponent was Leonard Schmitt, an upstate attor- ney who relied on marathon radio talks to carry his anti-McCarthy message to the people of Wisconsin. Four other opponents weren’t ex- pected to be any real factor. McCarthy was favored to win his second senatorial nomination.

Taft can of support he gives Gen. Eisen- hower. He is one of those fortunate men who no longer has to be ‘troubled by ambition. He has abandoned hope for the one job he desired above all others: the presidency. It’s un- | likely Eisenhower, if the general wins, could offer Taft any other | spot he likes as well as his present job in the Senate. No other job would give him such a forum for his views and } opinions, which he likes to express. And he has a following which shares his views. | His Senate job—he was elected | in 1950 to a six-year term—is safe for another four years. He’s 63 now. The fact that the majority of | the Republican party, as repre- | sented by delegates to the National Convention, turned him down in | favor of Eisenhower doesn’t neces- sarily mean the majority doesn’t | share his views. It may have chosen the general because it thought he had a better chance of winning in November, | although the party has turned Taft | down three times now—in 1940, in 1948 and in 1952—for a crack at the presidency. STRONG ARM BRAND COFFEE Triumph | This does not seem to have made even a slight dent in his thinking. He has indicated in no way that he has changed. And he knows he represents the thinking of many Republicans who might have preferred him as a candidate. For two weeks now at least there has been increasing talk—on an he was going to confer with Eisen- hower, who has apparently been anxious to have him campaign vig- orously. _Several times, without commit- ting himself to any promises of on-again and off-again basis—that | beating the bushes for the man who beat him in Chicago, Taft said he wants to talk with the general to learn his views ‘and what he'd do if elected. Thi¢ hesitancy of Taft's leaves the door open for him to decline such a speaking tour if he doesn’t hear from Eisenhower what he jwants to hear. If Taft stays out of it and Elsen- hower wins, the general’s support- ers will, it seems sure, try to topple Taft from his present position of Republican leader in the Senate.

Payne, although jubilant over his | victory, said, “Our job has only begun.” “We... can ill afford to lower {) our guard until we have placed Dwight D. Eisenhower in the White House,” he said. He still declined comment on a Democratic National Committee demand that Eisenhower repudi- ate Payne’s support because of a state liquor monopoly probe which overshadowed national as well as other state issues in a hectic cam- paign. Bernard T. Zahn, a former Liq- ;uor Commission chairman whom Payne appointed to office, and a Boston public relations man were indicted last Friday for conspiracy ; to commit bribery.

McCarthy was trying to get a big majority as a ‘vote of confi- |dence” in his charges that sub- versive influences are at work in | the Democratic administration. He | charged Schmitt and others had used ‘‘Communist type” smear tac- j ties against him. |} In a radio broadcast last night, McCarthy said: “They are trying to prove they can make a scarred political corpse of anyone who dares to expose Communists in government.” Schmitt countered with a state- ment saying: “I believe I have brought the issue of McCarthy’s deplorable rec- ord to the people of Wisconsin. ... I believe with all my heart that McCarthy represents a great poten- tial evil to Wisconsin and to the nation and 1 hope that every voter in Wisconsin will go to the polls Tuesday to express himself on this vital question.” On the Democratic side, Henry Reuss of Milwaukee was battling Thomas Fairchild of Verona, form- er state attorney general, for the Democratic senatorial nomination. Reuss had the endorsement of the state CIO. But State CIO Pres- ident Herman Steffes urged mem- bers of his union voting in the GOP primary to support Schmitt against McCarthy. Steffes said: “Though we still are for Reuss in this coming cam- paign, we have to be realistic and realize that a lot of our people, for reasons of their own, are going to vote in the Republican pri- mary.” The four long-shot candidates in YOUR exit 5 The most complex organism ever created is the human body.
