j. s. SENATE SEAT
RATED AT MILLION
Maine Governor Says That
Price Would Be Paid by
"Some" Men.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
FAIRFIELD, Me-, September 30
A seat in the United State Senate now
Is worth a million dollars to some men
and interests, Gov. Ralph Q. Brewster
declared in an address here last night
at the Maine Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union convention. Speaking
against the proposed repeal OF the
state primary law on which refer
endum will be held next month, he
charged that an attempt was made
to "hamstring" the last Republican
State convention in 1926 in the anti
prohibition cause.
"Momentous days are dawning," he
said. Friends of prohibition must
be upon their guard. The very inter-
ests that sought to hamstring the last
Republican convention in the anti
prohibition cause are the ones that
would exercise the chief influence in
the nominating machinery If the
primary law We're repealed.
1.-THE opponents of the primary ex-
press grave concern over the
amounts of money which are now be-
ing expended to influence nomination
In spite of the limitations imposed by
law. To remedy this evil they sol.
emnly propose that the people Of Maine
shall abolish the limitations.
1.-THE only existing limit upon the
amount of money that may be spent
to secure a nomination in the State
of Maine is wiped out by the proposed
repeal. An orgy of expenditure in
the ensuing campaign is the inevita-
BILE result"
Mrs. Nellie G. Burger. secretary of
the National Women's Christian
Temperance Union and president Of
the Missouri union, in an address said
the advocates of a referendum on ma
tional prohibition 'have not an inch
Of ground on which to stand, legally,
morally or by precedent"
There is no law, constitutional
provision or court decision under
which the Federal Constitution or any
part thereof or any law passed by
the Congress of the United States
can be made subject to popular
referendum" she asserted. "On the
contrary, the Federal Constitution
expressly provides otherwise"
"Wet politicians will endeavor to
commit the political parties to the
wet issue by the nomination Of wet
candidates. but the vote Of the land
il dry and the party which Is so
foolish as to nominate wet presi-
Dental candidate is signing its polit1-
cal death warrant which will be
promptly executed by an indignant
people"
