REAT rejoicing among the Demo- crats, and corresponding dismay in the Republican camps. Maine, nor- mally & rock-ribbed Republican state, has gone Democratle, and everyone is quot- ing the adage: “As Maine goes, so goes the Nation” Whether or not that is true, this Septem ber election certainly gives Immense en- couragement to the supporters of Frank. lin D. Nor did the Hoover forces attempt to minimize its importance, For the first time in 18 years Maine chose a Democrat for governor, He is Louis J. Brann, mayor of Lewiston, whose plurality over Burleigh Martin was nearly 1,400, The out of three victors be- ing Edward C. Moran, Jr., Rockland surance agent who twice ran for governor, and John G, Utterback, an automobile dealer who was re form mayor of Bangor. Congressman Carroll L was re elected in the First district. Republican National Chairman Ev- erett Sanders sent a reassuring tele gram to President Hoover, but the Chief Executive was not to be de- ceived, His reply wire said: “The result of the election in Malne imposes need for renewed and strong- er effort that the people may fully un. derstand the issues at We have known all along that, owing to the ravages of the world depression, our fight is a hard one: but we have a strong case and a right cause. Our task is to acquaint every man and woman in the country with the facts and issues which confront the na “We are greatly disappointed, mitted Vice President Curtis “But It will only make us work harder, and we will carry Novem- ber.” Demoeratic Chairman Farley grinned exultantly as he sald he was impa- tiently awaiting a Republican expla. nation of the Democratic victory in Maine, “The Democrats do not concede a single state,” he added. *] think It must be admitted by Mr. Hoover's sup- porters that in this particular monwealth the Democratic prospects were no better, to put it mil lly, than in the least promising (from our point of view) of the Maine was no harder ssion tha old Roosevelt.

HOOVER poked a stk into a hornet’'s nest when he made public the report of Attorney General William D. Mitchell on the bonus army and the regrettable incident of its oust. ing from Washington. Mitchell said his in vestigators found that most of the B. E. F. members were hon est, earnest and law abiding, but that per. haps a quarter of them were eriminals, many were radicals, many were arrant fakers, and the worst were among those who were evicted by troops with tear gas and flames. The attorney general defended the manner of eviction and the conduct of the troops used, and the Presi. dent sald: “This report should cor rect the many misstatements of fact 88 to this incident with which the country has been flooded.” But many newspapers and individ. uals, hotly discussing the report, de clared it was mislending generally and absolutely false in certain vital parts; and it 1s a question whether it did not still further alienate a con siderable part of the body of war veterans from support of the admin. Istration. Of course, it was one of the major topics of talk among the members of the American Legion when they assembled In Portland. Of greater Importance to the Le glonnaires than this affair was the demand for immediate cash payment of the bonus. The resolution calling Att'y Gen. Mitchell for this was adopted by a vote of 1,167 to 109 after a noisy debate. The dele- gates thus disregarded the warnings of President Hoover and General Hines, director of the veterans bu- reau, that the payment would cost the treasury between two and two and one-half billion dollars and impose an futolerable burden on taxpayers, Other resolutions adopted called for repeal of the Eighteenth amendment and Immediate modification of the Volstead act, opposed cancellation of foreign war debts and favored ade- quate national Chicago was selected for the 1033 convention, and Louis A.

Hizing practical opinion™ on the international debts question. A. P. Sloan, Jr. PRESIDENT HOOVER started the week well by calling on heads of departments and the execu tives of all other federal activities to cut out all non-essentials from bug. get requests for the next fiscal year. The President said he had requested Director of judget Roop “to make every »ffort to secure a reduc tion of at least $300,000.000 In the estimates of the next year from the appropriations made for the current year, and co-operation of the responsible ministrative officers is achieve this end.

He said he had instructed the various departments to speed up he program by the amglint of slight ly less than $200,000.00 On Tuesday the War department, to advance the government's employ- ment relief efforts, approved a great construction program that calls for the expenditure of $41.577.260 on flood control and rivers and harbors proj ects. The department expects these activities will provide work for 25. 000 persons now jobless. before sen mes the HOUGH supported by only one fifteenth of the reichstag, the gOV ernment of Chancellor Von Papen of Germany remains In power, for it has the backing of Presi- dent Von Hindenburg who seems to agree with the chancellor that parliamentary government {in the reich Is a failure When the reichstag met Monday Von Pa. pen tried to read the command for its dis. solution given him by the president, but Herman Goering, the Nazi president of the parliament, refused to recognize him until after a vote of non-confidence in the government had been moved by a Nazi and carried by an overwhelming majority. Von Papen walked out, leaving the decree of dissolution on Goering's desk. That gentleman announced it was not valid since the reichstag had already overthrown the cabinet. Later he admitted that both the dissolntion and the vote of non-confidence were legal, after being rebuked by thie pres. Ident for his action. Government off}. clals sald there would be new elec. tions within sixty days, according to the constitution, but the Deutsches Zeitung, mouthpiece of the govern. ment, sald: “There will be no new elections—no decision on a date of election Is expected in the near future.” THE CENTRE 8 WAS foreeast a week ngo, France rejected the German de mand for equality of armaments. though in a conciliatory way, assert. ing that the other allied nations and also the United States would have to assent to the proposal before it could be granted.

ROM Riga comes the interesting statement that Josef Stalin, die- tator of Soviet Russia, has lost his influence and before long will be re placed as secretary of the Communist party-—the only office he holds—by M, L Kaganovich. This lat- ter man, however, is a devoted disciple of Klemm E. Voroshilov, commander of the Soviet armies, so (t is taken for granted that will thereafter direct the policies of the Com munist party and of the nation. Stalin's reign, it is sald, 1s being brought to a close because of fallure of the five-year plan to Industrialize the country, coupled with the growing shortage of food, which Is causing workers everywhere to desert the in- dustrial undertakings and return to the villages. Another reason the of the dictator is sald to be Moscow's hope to obtain American recognition by a radical change of internal policy. Va roshilov is anxious to obtain America Voroshiloy K. E.
