THE PRIMARY IN MAINE

The name of Hale is potent in
Maine. For 80 years Maine Repub-
Leans voted for Eugene Hale for
senator. Monday was the third time
his son. Frederick Hale, went before
the voters for the same office.
There is little room for wonder at
the Hale victory over Governor
Ralph 0. Brewster. who has been
read out Of the Republican party In
Maine. Brewster's one-man battle
with the Hale organization was
certain to 60 down in defeat.
Consider the situation. Six of the
seven members of the governors
own council were active against him
during the primary. Twenty-nine OF
the 80 members of the state commit
tee We're against him. The national
committee members in Maine re-
pudiated Brewster. Three living liv-
ing former governors likewise re-
pudiated him.
Brewster confidently relied upon
his record as governor to get him the
senatorship nomination. The Maine
advertising campaign, he pointed
out, has brought an unprecedented
number Of summ,r visitors to the
state. He has stood firmly against
the expectation of hydroelectrical
power. He attacked Hale for voting
to seat Smith and Ware. That was
the extent OF his campaign.
The best Brewster did was to
furnish live primary contest. which
/ is proven by the fact that more than
10000 voters went to the polls. The
largest ever cast in a previous
primary was 100000.

time. when it is said to offer grand
views. including the experience OF
FLYING over New York City Just as
darkness descends. In the winter
time passengers are rare.
One such passenger has described
his sensations He left the Boston
airport at Ills y. m, arrived at
Hartford at $50. then at Hadley
Field. \. j., at $40. This terminal
OF tile line is near New Brunswick.
y. j., and is 5p.2 miles from New
York City. The next train Tor New
York leaves shelton, near the field, at
1901 .. M. but it is hard to get it.
The next train leaves New Brunswick
at lois; later ons at 1888. The
former arrives in S~w York at
around 1880. Under the best of con-
ditions, therefore, the air trip does
not take one from Boston to New
York faster than four hours and IL
minutes. The fastest train on the New
Haven makes the distance in five
hours. The fare by plane is sS5, to
which the fare from New Brunswick
must be added.
This shows no great advantage to
the plane. The air ride to Hadley
Field is quick enough, it is true, but
the distance of this airport from
New York is great handicap. Of
course, there is no handicap for the
transportation Of air mail, as planes
depart for other parts OF the coun-
try from Hadley Field.
1t is pleasant to realize, however,
that the Boston-New York airWay is
now one of the best maintained in
the country except for the poor air.

and is lighted at night by 10 cleo

Under present conditions the New

What the World needs lie a little

along with the rest OF the country,
that just as there is division OF

of sentiment regarding prohibition
in the Democratic party. The nation
al candidates in both parties need to
straddle a bit TO get along. The

! no chances of victory.
] In the Republican party the strad-
ding reaches its apex in the cant
paign to fool the farmer into think
ing the grand old party is for him
/ after all: he will be told that it may
not be perfect as to farm relief plans
but it will get somewhere with it
later on.
The etraddling in the Democratic
party must be to give the eastern
vets reason to think something will
be done about prohibition while at
the same time modifying the south
and west by giving the impression

PROPORTIONAL
REPRESENTATION

In the United States there are only
two major parties. as compared
with dozens of parties in continental
Europe. During the recent elections
in France and Germany the public
was amazed to find there were about
50 parties in each country, and OF
these fully a dozen in each nation
were important parties.
The reason why there are so many
parties in continental European ma
tons is because they are proper
tionately represented In the parlia-
ments. A minor party is bound to
obtain some representatives In
pa rliament. the number based en-
trcly on the total Of people who
vote for the party.
This system is not a part OF the
American system and We hence are
saved from multiplicity of parties.
The La Toilette third party in 1924
landed more than 100000 votes,
but its representation In Congress.
except for the handful Of Progress
sive Republicans sent there, was out
of proportion to its strength at the
polls. If the third party had placed
as many representatives in Congress
as its numbers warranted under pro-
portional representation there would
have been at least 80 in the House
Of Representatives.
