MAINE ELECTIONS
TODAY WILL TEST
PARTY STRENGTH

AUGUSTA, Maine, March 1s.-The
first test of strength between Repub-
licanS and Democrats in the congress
sional battles of this year will come
in the third Maine district tomorrow.
In this district, once the stronghold
OF James G.. Blaine. representative
is to be chosen. The candidates are
John Il. Nelson, Republican. and Err
nest l.. Mclean, Democrat, both OF
Augusta.
The district, comprising five
counties, always has been strongly
Republican but the Democrats have
waged a nard campaign in an effort
to swing it their way.
The women's vote is considered an
uncertain factor. Both candidates
have issued pre- election statements.
Mr.. Nelson characterized the election
as one OF the most important in the
history of the state and warned his
supporters against over confidence,
IL he were elected, he said, 1t would
be construed throughout the country
as "an endorsement of the splendid
work of President Harding and his
co workers"
"If the Democrats should succeed
in cutting down the usual Repubhcan
majority" he added, 1T would give
tremendous encouragement 10 the
Democratic campaigners for the fall
elections
Mr.. Mclean asserted that the clos
ing hours OF the campaign brought
great hope" of his election.
There is a general feeling or dls-
satisfaction" he continued, with
congress, which has done nothing.
The promised relief has not been
given either the farmer the laboring
man or the merchant. Many staunch
Republicans have reached the conclu-
sion that the only way to rouse con-
gress from its lethargy is to elect
Democrat"

RY HAIRY HUNT.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Wash-
ihgton will again draw the interna
tional spotlight, early in April, with
a series of conferences with European
nations on what they are going to do
about their debt to Uncle Sam.
These conferences will be attended
by representatives of both major and
minor nations-fron Great Britain,
France and italy to Esthonia. Finland
and Lithuania.
The indebtedness Of the. various
countries to the United States repre-
sents. in the aggregate, more than
500 for each man, woman and child
in this country the total including
overdue interest being $11,3S3194,-
000
Although the senate has held up
temporarily, on a question Of consti-
tutionality, the confirmation of two
members of congress-Senator Smoot
and Representative Burton-as MEM
bers of the foreign debt refunding
commission, arrangements already
are under way for taking up the ad-
justment OF these loans officially at
the earliest possible moment.
The three members OF the commits
sion already confirmed are Secretary
of Treasury Mellon, Secretary of
State Hughes and Secretary of Com
merce Hoover. Whoever may finally
be confirmed in the two remaining
places. these three will be the guild
ing spirits Of the American commits
sion.
The British debt will be the first
to be taken up. Beside being the
largest, it is the only one that offers
any considerable hope for early ash.
The British debt to the United
States, on money and credit advanced
during the war, is $4,16s 51s,35S.44. In
addition, there is an item OF $500
1887 overdue interest
TO clarity the whole transaction,
it is now proposed the total debt be
refunded by Great Britain issuing
bonds with a uniform interest rate
and more advantageously spaced ma
turity periods.
Such bonds, taken by this govern
ment as security for the loan. would
not necessarily have to be held till
maturity for Uncle Sam to get his
money back They would be nego-
table, and as market conditions JUS
titled, could be sold to private in
vestors just as our own government
bonds would be sold.
The refinancing or refunding of
the French and Italian loans will
call for more finesse than Great Brit
aims. No one in official circles ex-
poets any result with these that will
produce actual money at an early
date. However, they can be gotten
together into the form Of unified
loans, at fixed interest rate and
single maturity date, which will sim
plify computations and negotiations
at such time as full or partial repay
ment is possible.
After these Will come Belgium, Po-
land Czecho Slovakia, Serbia, Ru
mania and a dozen smaller fry among
nations. Each will send TO Washing

institutions approximate $S,676,000, 900
stored in the mints at Philadelphia,
Denver and San Francisco and the

Mr. Baker said that the certain de-
mand upon the United States mints

coins were struck off by the mints
at Philadelphia, Denver and San
Francisco. while the output for the

than in a normal pre-war year, such
as 1918.

cry installed, including electrical fur
naces which melt a ton and a half of
