Of campaign managers who claim

There never 10 a reasonable
prospeo. OF Democratic victory In
Maine, he said. Everybody knows
tho state is Republican although
conditions sometimes help US
there. Mano was carried by tho
Democrats in 1910 and that was
followed in November by the cleo
ton OF Democratic congress
and By the national victory Of
1912. In 1914 with the Republican
party split wide open by tho Old
Bull Moose fight OF 1912 the
Democrats again elected a Dem
ocratie governor and the situa-
ton this year 10 somewhat
similar to what il was 10 years
ago.
II Maine shows Democratic

great encouragement but don't
forget tho Democrats can carry
the country with Maine going
overwhelmingly Republican. or
course we want to see w. r.

can for him. II is n stiff fight,
however, as tho Republicans
always flood the state with money
and with their best spellbinders.
We arc not going to attempt to
run any state elections from here
but will cooperate with the duly
constituted party authorities in
Maine as in every other state.

INTENSIVE CAMPAIGN
IN THE NORTHWEST

Washington. Aug 5-The Republi-
can national committee has before il
for decision. President Coolidge let
it be known today. the question of
establishing a regional headquarters
at Minneapolis as the base for an in
tensive campaign in the northwest
crn states.
For some time advisers OF the
president have urged that an active
campaign be conducted by the Re-
publican party in the states regarded
as the stronghold OF Senator Lafol-
lette, independent candidate for
president. and the word from the
White House WAS taken as indicating
that the advice was regarded favor
ably enough to have it placed before
the national committee for action.
Additional encouraging reports
were received by the president today
or campaign outlook in western ter
ritory, Representative Johnson of
South Dakota calling upon the eXecu-
tive and saying that the Republican
ticket would prevail in that state in
November.
Similar reports of Republican sue
cess in the east were also brought TO
the White House by Secretary Weeks
who has just returned from vaca-
ton in New England. and by Senator
Edge of New Jersey. Secretary
Weeks said sentiment at this time in
the east was very strong for Mr..
Coolidge while it was likely the La
fallette candidacy would make strong
threads on the Democratic ranks in
that section. Senator Edge predict
ed that Senator Lafollette would run
ahead of Mr.. Davis in New Jersey.
Mr.. Coolidge spent another busy
day, meeting this morning with his
cabinet and holding several confer
cnCes on government business. Later
in the day he resumed work on his
speech of acceptance which he said
