Governor Brewster, late last night,
wired Senator elect Arthur r. Gould
as follows:
'Tn our conversation during the
last few weeks, I have learned that
you are accustomed to plain speech
The people Of Maine have evidently
accepted the view that strict COM
pliance with the limitations of the
primary law by the friends of can
didate, is not so important as the
broader issues Of party policy which
were necessarily involved. Upon
this point, you and / disagreed.
1.-THE overwhelming Republican
majority cannot be otherwise con-
strued than as indicating a convic-
ton among citizens without regard
to party, that a grave injustice has
been done to you In questioning the
method used in the conduct Of the
primary campaign.
zone may rejoice In the prospect
of a Republican Senator from Maine,
and one of your broad experience.
without yielding ones convictions as
to the relative importance of the is
sues which were at stake.
you are to be congratulated upon
this impressive recognition of your
life work in building up the State of
Maine, and upon the broader oppor-
tunities for service to the nation and
the State, that seem now to lie
ahead"

WASHINGTON G. O.P.
LEADERS ARE ELATED
over GOULD VICTORY

Washington, Nov 29-(P)-Election
of Arthur r. Gould, Republican. to
the United States Senate from
Maine, was received with unveiled
enthusiasm tonight In Republican
circles here, where, since the con-
gressional elections four weeks ago,
eyes had been turned on the north
eastern state to break the 47-47
membership tie between Republicans
and Democrats.
With the Maine vacancy filled by
another Republican, the SEVENTEEN
Congress will begin next year with a
Republican majority of only one in
the Senate and a much more COM
Portable Republican margin in the
House.
The State lineup now reads: Re-
publicans As; Democrats AZ; Farmer
Labor l.
Not content with the prospect of
this very slim majority, Republican
leaders who had anticipated a party
victory In Maine and who were I'M
easy over the outlook for administra-
ton proposals and Senate organiza-
ton in view of the balance of power
resting with the insurgenr group.
recently proposed bringing the latter
back into the party fold to insure
against another Democratic insurgent
coalition.
Senator Frazier of North DaDkota,
the only remaining of that group,
read out of the party for supporting
the presidential candidacy of the late
Senator La Toilette, probably will be
recognized next year as a regular
Republican. Republicans are also

STAGGERING sums
IN MASS, PRIMARY
WORD CIVIC LEAGUE

Boston, Nov. -Stenograph-
ers and clerks today pushed forward
a compilation of the expenditures of
the Republican state committee in
the recent election to enable Conrad
w. Croker, general counsel for the
Liberal Civic League to lay the facts
before the United States Senate cam
paign investigation committee in
about ten days.
Chairman James A Reed today
telegraphed Mr.. Croker that he
would lay the matter before he full
committee on his return to Washing
ton about December 8. MIR. Croker
had informed Senator Reed that the
expenditures appeared Staggering"
and that the committee apparently
incurred liabilities of $235,7S9.
Mr.. Croker said that although his
stenographers had worked all day
copying the reports of the committee
which covered 65 pages, it would re-
quire all of tomorrow to arrive at a
definite total and possibly longer.
His estimate of the site commit
tees expenditures did mt cover the
whole, Mr.. Croker declared tonight,
such as the Womens Republican
Club of Massachusetts and the
Massachusetts Republican Club had
yet to file their returns.
Chairman Francis Prescott of the
Republican state committee evidence
ed no alarm over Mr.. Crooker's action
and said that it was the first occasion
on which expenditures have not
shown an increase over those of the
previous campaign. He said that the
total expenditures, although they
were not totalled on the returns,
We're $4,000, or about $4,000 less
than two years ago. Harry NJ. Rich
mond of bingham, treasurer of the
committee, advanced $4,000 when
the receipts fell short.
Senator William M. Buffers per-
sonal return showed that he was well
within the $4,000 allowed by law in
his unsuccessful fight against David
l. Walsh.

PREPARING FOR
BATTLE TO GUST
SMITH AND ware
Contest Senate's Power
Over Primaries
Especial to The Daily Worker,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 1. -
Democrats and irregular republicans
on one side, and regular republicans
and some democrats on the other, are
girding themselves for the battle over
the seating of Frank L. Smith Of Hi
nois and William S. Ware of Pennsyl
vania in the United States senate. Ii
is now apparent that the battle will
be unavoidable.
Primary as Issue.
With primary corruption. in each
case virtually established. the main
issue of conflict will be the right of
the senate to withhold membership
because of primary activity. The sen
ate will have to decide if the primary
is a part Of the election, as the con.
stitution gives the senate power to
deny seating to anyone convicted of
irregularities in the election, but does
not mention the primary. Defenders
Of Ware and Smith declare vehemently
that the senate cannot question can
didate's expenditures in the primary
elections, and that the state is the
sole judge in that case.
Getting Evidence.
Sen. Norris, however, is amassing
evidence to show that there was cor
ruption in the election campaigns as
well as in the primary campaign.
Threaten Southern Senators.
Republicans are countering the
democrats with the threat that II the
senate has Jurisdiction over the pri-
mary, Investigations into primary ac-
tivities of seven southern senators
will be started, as in the south the
primary is usually the election. They
will also challenge the southern sena-
tors on the grounds of the disfran-
chisement of the Negro, they threaten.
Many observers fell there is no doubt
that Ware and Smith will be ousted.
as the combination of democrats and
republicans is enough to accomplish
that-provided they stick.

The Fight of Alex Hoyat

Continued from page II
DISTINGUISHED in this election so as to
make possible, now that Howat,
August Dorchy and other militant
miners have been disqualified, prac-
tically unanimous election lin which
less than ten per cent Of the district
members are allowed to vote) of the
handpicked Lewis machine supporters.
A Chapter in Labor History.
This latest action of the Lewis ma
chine both closes one chapter and
opens another in the fve.year perse-
cution Of Alex Howat and those who
fought with him when the Kansas in
dustrial court law was defeated. The
arbitrary elimination of Howat, now
working in one of the mines here
taking layoff to tour the union for
q month in support Of John Brophy
and the "Save the Union" program)
follows right on the heels of the de-
cision of the United States supreme
court in the Dorchy case unfolding the
JdlA SGul6uC6S 6tNou IlOWdl5 OOAShy
and other members of the union who
led strikes in defiance Of the indus
trial rulings.
The persecution of Alex Howat by
the coal operators and the Lewis ma
chine has no precedent in the labor
movement. For five years, in violation
of the union constitution and in de-
iance of all elementary ethics of the
labor movement calling for united de-
tense of union members when at
tackled by the enemies of labor, John
L. Lewis has aided in every con-
ceivable way the announced purposes
Of the coal, operators to get rid of
Howat."
The history Of the Howat case is
a history Of perhdy on the part Of la
Dor officials for which there are few
parallels.

In 1921 District IA had some 10000
members and was 100 percent organ
lied. Working conditions were prob
ably the best prevailing in any section
of the union. The district with Alex
