NE ELECTION lllllllNli NG INTEREST Portiaad, Me., Sept. ¢ P—With ! 6¢ the customary Seurishes, and besides. Maing is bringing to o clusion apother of those w»ltu in which, every presiden- ial year, the great national parties pasde through thelr beptism of fire. Klection Manday On M y next the mta will Choese a menwr. senator, its full Usts of repdenentatives in congress, ‘legislature, and other state and ocal officials. It will net tor president until November, when ev- rybody else dofs, but for peculiar casons, linked with tradition and instured by a beckgreund of un. "avering republicanism, the cam- paign which ends with the current veok is for Maine the big political vent of the year. At the present moment the most mpressive slement of the picture is he intensive effort of the republi. fans, librally supported by their party headquarters in Washington o roll up a record-breaking major- ty, They fix as an absolute mini nym the mark of 36,000 and odd a ained in the gubernatorial contest n 192¢. And many are shooting far peyend that figure, The democrats re ighting more quietly, with little pisible help from their national or- unization, and are not without ope; but they have no delysions bout the difficulties they face in a tate so dry that it was the first of he 48 to adopt prohibition,and so re- publican thit it hever haa cast its lectoral vote fér a démocrat except 0 the great republican disagreement 1912, This Stptember elecfl#n custom is Priginally several other states select. d local offi advance of the ountry-wide | in November, that such a nd national issues, Now the cus- om survives in Maine alone, and no er of New bn‘lund seems to be hinking seriously of a change. It deeply imbedded in the political onsciousness us are many other lo- al doctrines, like the unwritten law gainst any governor of the state ktanding for reelection more than pnce. Barometer State Keeping thus apart in her habit of arly veting, Maine has fallen heir 0 a reputation as the “barometer late"~—a reputation based on the heory that a big or little republi- y for the state ticket in Ecptember indicates a popular swing te or from the natienal standard of that party. This theory has been preached widely by republican leaders, who always waut a smash- ing Beptember victory in Maine for ita psychological effect on the rest of ‘the country. There are those among the national ledders of the democratic party whe describe the barometer idea as & republican trick based on am eptical illusion, and taking no account of the fact that Maine is heavily republican any- way, and the further fact that the September election is a state election only. Some local leaders of the democracy seem to take the tradi- tion more seriously. Much has been said on both aides. But it is net denied that certain considerations in the present astate campaign have served ink up the state contest with national issues. The republican -nominee for gove: nor, William Tuder Gardiner, an im- mensely popular personality for years in state affairs, has stood the record of both atate and natie: al administratiens, and many of the speakers sent here by the party's na- tional erganization have campai; Lon national ipsues almeost exclusiv ly. Gardiner's demecratic oppenent, Edward C. Moran, Jr., is a fighting leader of the younger generation, just approaching his thirty-fourt birthd He has been a partisan of Gi 8mith from pre-convention days, and was one of those who had most to do with sending a Smith- instructed delegation to Houston. Furthermore, the democratic sena- torial candidate, Herbert E. Holmes, who opposes the reelection of 8en- ator Frederick Hale for a third term at Washington, i3 going about the state “selling Al Smith,” as he him. self terms it, and using a phono- graph to gather crowds for the street-corner meetings at which he preaches unceasingly the gospel of Smith for pmmem. Support Lost Whatever sfrength it may have attracted (mm the republican ranks this sort of campaign has lost for the democratic state ticket the sup- port of some, at least, of he demo- cratic leaders who trited 8mith on account of prohibition. Outstanding among these is Mrs. William P. Pat- tangall, wife of the man who has been for several campaigns the idol of thousands of Maine democrats, and herself a former democratic na- tional committeewoman. With sevs eral others formerly prominent among the democratic women of the state she has gone over completely to the republicans and is stumping for the defeat of hoth state and na- tional democratic tickets. Pattangall himself, although he has retired from active politics to go on the bench, has announced he cannot support Smith. The republicans count very heavily on the effect of these defections, especially among | the women. Another element lluking state and | national issues is the fact that the voters themselves have been taught ! to believe in the barometer tradi- | | 36,000 tion. Stirred by local pride, many Opened appear to feel that Maine has her great opportuaity to make herself heard in September; that everybody expects her to vete republican in November, and no one will take the trouble in the midst of a natienal election to inquire how great the state majority was; whereas in Sep- tember the eyes of the whole coun- try are turned mertheastward. G. O. P. Accused Not that local issues have been entirely lacking. Moran has accus- ed the republicans of extravagance at Augusta and proposes a reorgan- ization of the state administrative departments. He has made a great point of charging that Gardiner is preparing to turn the state's surplus water power over lo“the Insyll terests” and the “pywer trust” by favering the exportation af surplus power frem the state. Gardiner has paid little attention to this issue, and is further charged by the demo- crats with having straddled it Democratic leaders sy this issue has made Meran some votes. The majority of demecratic spokesmen think their best real chance among the majer centests grows out of the aggreasive cam- paign waged by Albert Beliveau, democratic nominee for congress in the second district, who wants the seat at Washington occupied for six terms by Wallace H. White, Jr., chairman of the house merchant marine committee. Normally safely republican, this district chose three times as its representative the gen- 1al and popular Dan J. McGillicyddy of Lewiston, now Maine's democrat- ic national eommitteeman. But that all happened more than a decade 0. Army Pours In In this tinal week the republicans are pouring into the state a small army of spellbinders—senators, gov- ernors and congressmen form eyc.y section of the country, with Senator Curtis, the vice presidential nominee headliner. Every precinct, & those on the northern bo der where voters of French-Cana- dlan origin are addressed from the stump in the French language, has a place in the final republican whirl The democrats, without any vel compact state command, are keep- ing on with the fight largely on the basis of home talent, and to all appearances almost entirely on money contributed locally. The democratic national committee has | sent in a very few thousands of dol- lars, and a very few speakers of note including, however, Mrs. Nellie Ross. ‘While flw\ talk vaguely of tre- mendous majorities, the republican leaders are chary of muking defin predictions. Dr. Work, the party's national chairman, came to Augus. ta last Saturday, felt the pulse and took the temperature of the state organization, and pronounced it ex- ccedingly robust, but left hehind no mathematical data as to September 10. Priyately the republican leaders scout all suggestions of a majority around 20,000, the figure to which it dropped in 1926, and keep the of 1924 constantly in the His New foreground as a minimum only. They do not speak in definite fig- ures, for they have the barometer idea always befors them, and they know that all rules work both ways. They realize that it they made a definite prediction, and then missed it even by a few thousands, some demeocrat might be unkind enough to rise up and call it a democratic victory, MODERN DAMON TAKES PLACE OF 515 FRIEND John Crosty on Tria¥in Mexico Tor Crime He Did Not Commit Del Rio, Tex., Sept.
