today were fleeing from the region

appear to feel that Maine has her great opportunity to make herself heard in September: that everybody expects her t0 vote republican in November. and no one will take the trouble in the midst of 2 national election to inquire how great the state majority was: whereas in Sep tember the eyes of the whole coun- try are turned nertheastward.
 C. o. F. Accused
 Not that local issues have been entirely lacking. Moran has accus- cd the republicans of extravagance at Augusta aud proposes a reorsan- ixation of the state administrative departments. He has made a great point of charging that Gardiner is preparing to turn the states surplus water power over to ~'the Insull in- terests' and the power trust" by favering the exportation of surplus power frsm the state. Gardiner has paid little attention to this issue, and is further charged by the demo- crats with having straddled it. Democratic leaders say this issue has made Moran some votes.
 The majority of democratic spokesmen think their best real chance among the major contests grows out Of the aggressive cam paign waged by Albert Beliveau. democratic nominee for congress in the second district. who wants the seat ct Washington occupied for six terms by Wallace H. White. Jr., chairman of the house merchant marine committee. Normally safely republican. this district chose three times as its representative the gen. ial and popular Dan J. McGillicuddy of Lewiston, now Maine's democrat ic national committeeman. But that all happened more than d decade ago.
 Army POurs In
 In this final week the republicans are pouring into the state small army of spellbinders-senato gov ernors and congressman form eye. y section of the country. with Senator Curtis, the vice presidential nominee as the headliner. Every precinct. including those on the northern bor- der where voters of French-Cana- dian origin are addressed from the stump in the French language, has . place in the final republican whiri The democrats. without any very compact state command, are keep ing on with the fight largely on the basis of home talent, and 10 all appearances almost entirely on money contributed locally. The democratic national committee has sent in q very few thousands of dol- lars. and very few speakers of note including, however. Mrs. Nellie Ross.
 While they talk vaguely of tre- mendous majorities. the republican leaders are chary of making definite predictions. Dr. Work, the party's national chairman. came to Angus ia last Saturday, felt the pulse and took the temperature of the state orga nization. and pronounced it ex- l ceedingly robust, but left behind no mathematical data as to September 10. Privately the republican leaders l scout all suggestions of ma jority around 2o,000. tn" figure to which it dropped in 1928, and keep the s6,000 of 1924 constantly in the
