Aid Stand.

PORTLAND, Me-. June 81 Gp.-A
sharp contest for the Republican n
nomination for governor and a pro-
posed constitutional amendment bar
ring State aid for private institutions
were the principal issues before Maine
voters in today's primary.
Gov. Ralph o. Brewster, who was
elected two years ago on a platform
favoring constitutional prohibition of
public money from sectarian schools
and was supported by the ku Klux
Klan, was opposed at the polls by
Maj. Arthur L. Thayer of Bangor.
Thayer has based his campaign prin-
cipally on the proposed amendment.
which, as submitted by the Legisla-
ture, would deprive not only sectarian
schools but all private and semi-pri-
vate institutions of public aid.
The governor, in addition to being
assailed for his stand in favor of the
amendment. also has had to contend
with the charge that he has favored
the Klan in his appointments.
The Democratic slate. headed by
Ernest L. Mclean, mayor of Augusta,
candidate for governor was unopposed
for nomination.
