FORECAST OF
 ELECTIONS JN
 NEW ENGLAND
Especial from United Press)


 Boston, Aug. 30-Whether insurgency is really rife throughout Republican New England. whether the Democrats are gaining strength and whether the people are satisfied with the Payne Aldrich tariff are three of the many questions politicians say will be- an swered early next month in this north east corner of the republic in the State elections. The result of these contests which have been hotter than for many year the wiseacreS say will give pretty good indication as to whether or not the next Congress will be Dem ocratic
 Vermont on September 6, and Maine on September F, will select State ofy ficersS and indicate their preference for representatives in the 62d Congress In the State members of the Legisla- day as the Vermont election New Hampshire will hold her first State wide primaries, and the first under di- rect primary law affecting an entire State to be held in the East. Massa- chusetts will hold primaries on Sep tember 27 but the law in this State is optional and only the larger cities and few towns IF ke direct nominations.
 State conventions will be held in Massachusetts and Rhode Island III October and Connecticut in November. In each State full tickets for State O1f1cerS will be named ana LeS1SldtuTeS will be elected whose members, save in New Hampshire, will choose United States Senators.
 In Vermont the Republican leaders are devoting their efforts mainly to se- curing or exoding a normal Repub- lican plurality of 10000, while the Dem ocrats are endeavoring to reduce the margin and show increased strength.
 The Republicans in Maine have nom mated Governor Bert M. Fernald for a second term, while the Democrats are waging a vigorous campaign with Frederick W. Plaisted. Mayor of Au- gusta, and a son of a former Cover nor, as their leader. Dividing local interest with the Governorship contest Is the Congressional fight in the first district where the Congressional par liamentarian, Asher c. Hinds. is seek ing a seat on the floor of the House. In neither Vermont nor Maine is any outward issue drawn between so-called progressive and regular" Republi- cans. It is a straight fight with 'in- surgency'' as the issue.
 In Rhode Island the question tfWhc shall be chosen to fill the Senatorial shoes of Nelson Aldrich?" eclipses all | other issues. The name of Colonel Samuel Pomeroy Colt of Providence is most frequently mentioned as Sena- | tor AIdrich's probable successor.
