POLITICAL INTEREST
CENTERS IN OUTCOME
OF MAINE ELECTION
(By Associated Press)

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 6.-Political
interest for the moment is largely oc-
cupied IN speculation on the outcome
Of the election in this state on Sept.
13. A campaign that began in earnest
on Aug. % will be fought without let
up through the final week. The usual
predictions Of success are being issued
by both Republicans and Democrats.
State elections in Maine are held in
September instead of November and
III presidential years the local contests
are viewed as of special importance.
Of these years the fighting is no less
for the possession of state offices, rep
resenting in congress and control OF
the state legislature than for the
psychological effect of the outcome on
the rest of the country.
To what extent if any the national
drift may be forecast by victory or
an increased or decreased majority
here has long been a matter Of dispute
with politicians but certain it is that
national leaders have taken the tradi-
tion seriously and have brought as
many of their political big guns into
the campaign in this state as possible.
Four years ago. Charles E. Hughes
wound up the campaign for the repub-
licans. This year both parties have
had big representation of state cam
paigners and have drawn heavily on
the national committees for speakers
of national prominence. On Sept. 13,
a governor, state auditor, four mem
bers of congress, a state legislature
and county officers will be chosen.
Maine does not elect a senator this
year.
Both parties and gubernatorial can
didates have made the league of ma
tions a fight issue. Local questions
have received less attention, even pro-
hibition which for more than 60 years
has figured largely in state campaigns
and particularly in contests for coun-
ty attorneys and sheriffs, was virtu-
ally ignored The Republicans in
state convention approved the refusal
Of the United States senate to ratify
the treaty without reservations de-
signed TO protect the safety, sover'
eighty and independence of the United
States"
The Democratic state platform de-
clared for prompt ratification with.
out reservations destructive to the
spirit and effective operation of the
treaty" Both Mr.. Parkhurst and Mr..
McIntire endorsed their national and
state resolutions on the stump.
The complexion Of the new legisla-
ture is a matter of some concern. as
1t may be called upon to redistrict the
state and, under the new apportion-
ment. Maine may lose one of its four
representatives in congress.
In 1916 Hughes carried the state,
his vote being 5,475 greater than that
for President Wilson. The total vote
for president was: Hughes, 69,50S;
Benson, Socialist, ATT; Henly, Pro-
hibitionist, 500. Two years ago. when
Milliken defeated the present Demo
catic candidate for governor. Mr.. Nc.
Intire, by a majority of 5,545, the to-
tai vote of the state was 121 ,669. This
was nearly 10000 less than the total
in 1916.

REGISTRATION VERY
LIGHT; THERE'S ONLY
ONE OTHER CHANCE

Returns received from 46 of the &C
precincts of Wayne county. up to
noon Monday, on the registration of
voters, held Saturday, showed that
$500 voters in those precincts had
qualified to cast their ballots at the
November election. OF this number
5,205 were men and 3,615 were women.
1t is expected that the total registra-
tion in the county will be between
1880 and $4,000, which would be less
than the registration in 1916, when
only men had the right of suffrage.
The 1916 registration was 1880.
Estimates Less Than Half.
w. H. Brooks county auditor, es'
Inmates that less than so per cent OF
the normal voting strength of the
county, including both men and wo-
men, were registered Saturday. He
has estimated that the normal vote
of the county should approximate
10000.
There will be only one other period
of registration, on Monday, Oct 4
and during the next four weeks both
the Republican and Democratic coun
ty organizations are expected to put
forth a determined effort to bring
about the registration of those voters
who failed to qualify Saturday.

Says Industrial Tangles
Are Not For Politics
(Rv Associated Press)

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 6.-Solu
ton of the more pressing domestic
problems of the day is not by nature
and should not by perversion become
a purely political uestion, w. c. Nc
Aldoon, former secretary of the treas
ury. said in his Labor day message to
the workers of Syracuse.
These problems will test the
strength and efficiency of our democ'
racy," he continued. "They are pro
found economic and social questions
and to their solution should be
brought all the dispassionate. intelli
gent and tolerant judgment of which
the American public is capable" he
concluded.

coal industry of Indiana had become
of vital interest to the public and
therefore is subject to regulation un-
der the police powers of the state,

food commission argued today in the

the state to discuss. The arguments
were heard by Judges Francis e.

LET PUBLIC
JUDGE HAYS
STATEMENT
Republican Chairman Repeats
His Statement on Witness
Stand, In Answer to Cox S
Charge of Falsity.
TO GET ONLY ENOUGH

NEW YORK, Sept. 6-Will H. Hays,
chairman Of the Republican national
committee, made the following state
ment here Sunday: according to the
public reports, Governor Cox yester-
day made the following accusation
against me personally: I charge that
VIII H. Hays perpetrated deliberate
falsehood when he said under oath
that there were no quotas.
I'm my written statement read to
the senate committee on Aug. 80, in
Chicago and which is now in the rec
ord Of that hearing, l said: Tentative
quotas were fixed by the treasurer's
office, all tentative, and rather as a
goal, always high, of course, for the
particular state to drive for, and
changing constantly.
AT different periods different
quotas have been suggested by the
treasurers' offices as tentative goals in
different states, and the state commit
tees themselves have fixed different
quotas. These, as above suggested,
are changing constantly, and always,
OF course, were made very much
higher than either necessary or anti
cipated. The fact is, the quotas
meant little. Furthermore, whatever
may nave DeSu SuS6CSlcu do QuOIdS
by overzealous solicitors in their en-
thusiasm in different locations. the
fact remains that certain amount was
believed necessary, and the budget
above referred to was indicated there
fore which is $3,079,O 9,O37.20, for the use
Of the national committee. When
| this amount was fixed as the budget,
! that became the sum fixed for the
| treasurer to reach, and the purpose be-
| came definite. The fact at all times
! remains that the treasurer is driving
! to collect enough and no more than
| enough to meet the pecessary ex-
! penses, estimated to be something in
excess of $3,000,000.'
"These are the facts. Let the Pub
| lie judge as to the truth or falsity Of
! Governor Coxs accusation. 1t has the
same reckless responsibility as his
claim of $15,00O,0O0. Further COM
ment on the reliability of his state
ments is unnecessary"
CHICAGO, Sept. g. Replying to
charges by Governor Cox, that an at
tempt had been made to levy Re-
publican campaign assessment Of $780,

| Dering, claimed by the governor as
OhC VI tho PlihSApoiS, III a otdSCLlClI
| made public today, said:
"We never held any such meeting
as Governor Cox described. The CON-
| mittee of which l was chairman met,
but we never assembled. even the COM
mittee alone, in the Auditorium hotel.
Generally the committee met in my
| office and generally it was l who had
| to run around to the coal men, and pry
| the money out, of them. We raised
between $4,000 and $4,000 and turn

urer of the Republican national COM

Notice to Subscribers.

In common with newspapers
the country over, The Palladium
is undergoing the experience of
constantly increasing costs of
production.
Newspaper workers. like
everyone else, have suffered
from increased living costs.
They have consequently re-
ceived large increases in salart
les and wages.
Print paper used to cost 1925
a hundred pounds. An increase
that took effect September 1st
brings the present cost to $3.50
a hundred pounds, an advance
of 1S8 per cent.
1t is necessary, therefore. to
ask subscribers to pay a little
more for their newspaper. Be-
ginning with this week the price
for The Palladium, delivered by
carrier in Richmond, will be
Is cents per week.
