French Foreign Minis ter Tel League of Nations That Franco .Bri6sh Agreement l. Only to Further World Peace.
Representatives of Fifty Nations Hear Plea of Frances Statesman for an International Disar- mament Conference.

Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 10 R- Aristide Briand. foreign minister of France, today told the assembly of the league of nations that there were no secret clauses in the Franco British naval accord. He said it had been arranged for the sole purpose of facilitating reduction of arma- ments.
 Speaks From ROstrsim
 M. Briand spoke from the rostrum of the assembly. Delegates of 50 nations formed his audience and they applauded as he emphasized the peaceful purpose of the under standing.
 NJ. Briand used ridicule in driving home his denial of whispers heard recently in many European quarters that the accord contained more pro- visions than appeared on the sur- face or had been made public.
 The address followed a plea for III international disarmament con- ference before next years assembly which was given by E. Blythe, vice president of the executive council and minister of finance, posts and telegraph of the Irish Free state. He recommended that a time limit be put on the work of the prepara- tory disarmament commission.
 War . Crime
 Mir. Blythe said that the Kellogg pact had made war a crime and an outrage. He hailed the initiative taken by the United States In this and said that his own government was in the closest sympathy with the entire movement.
 He told the delegates also that Ireland was as strong for arbitration and conciliation as was Canada and he praised the address in which Will liam Lyon Mackenzie King. prime minister of the Dominion, had told the assembly about the lengthy un- guarded frontier between Canada and the United States and the under standing that all disputes of a legal nature would be referred to arb;- tration while conciliation would be the method for settling any other questions.
 M. Briand's address, coming in the wake of this plea for action, was of the outspoken variety which has characterized this session of the as- sembly and has startled statesmen and diplomats of the old school. He made a special point respecting gov crnments which advocate disarma- ment and yet increase their own forces
 Without mentioning Russia by name he said there was one country in Europe which was constantly augmenting it's army, yet had pro- posed the total destruction of all

MAINE HAS STATE
 ELECTION TODAY
Supposed to Show Way Wind
 Will Blow in November
GREAT INTEREST EYlNCED
'As Maine Goes So Goes the Ma ton" Is Adage Long Standing Republicans Expect to Roll Huge Majority.

Portland, Me, Sept 10 (UP)- Maine voters lined up today for the first official count of republican and democratic noses since Herbert Hoover and Alfred E. Smith became party standard bearers.
 Although going to the polls pri- marily to chose q governor, sena- tor, congressman and other state officials, Maine was expected to show, by the size of it's republican majority. which way the political wind will blow in November.
 AS Maine goes, so goes the ma tion," is the adage which has long been attached to state elections such as that being held today.
 Maine is the only state that clings to it's early September election, or iginally intended to keep state and national politics separate. and the outcome invariably is interpreted as an indication of the national poli- tical trend.
 Orators Plead
 Campaign orators in both parties have pleaded with voters this year to point the way" for the nation, and some candidates have stressed national issues in their platforms.
 Neither party leaders nor candi- dates would venture public numeri- cal prediction of the outcome. All agreed. however, that the vote would be unusually large.
 T have never seen the state so interested i'll an election" said IL. s. Senator Frederick Hale. republi- can, who is running for reelection against Herbert Holmes, democrat.
 Danield F. Field, chairWan of the Republican State Committee, raid his party would carry Is of the estates 16 counties. but refused to guess the total vote.
 No Possible Estimate
 The issues have caused such a crossing of party lines that no esti- mate of the outcome is possible" said E. c. Moran, chairman of the Dem ocratic State Committee. Pri- vately, most republicans predict a very comfortable majority. Demo- crats say it will be no larger than 25,oo0, although the normal repuh- lican margin is about 36,0oo.
 The present republican governor. Ralph o. Brewster, received maj ority of more than 36,00o in 1924, when he was opposed by William K. Pattingall, considered until this year one of the states strongest democrats. Pattangall and his wife, a former democratic national com

To It - May Embrace Entire
 World.
 New York. Sept. 10 RHSecretary of State Frank B. Kellogg landed at 7:50 8. III. this morning from the United States liner Leviathan on his return from Paris where he signed the peace pact which bears his name for the United States.
 Rush to Station
 Secretary Kellogg accompanied by Mrs. Kellogg and three members of his party was taken from the liner at quarantine by the coast guard cutter Hudson and brought up the bay to the battery. They entered an automobile there and with a po- lice motorcycle escort were rushed to the Pennsylvania station.
 The secretary read a prepared statement to the reporters who met him on the liner. It follows:
 T do not think the treaty for the renunciation of war should be made a party issue. either in the cam paign or in the senate and I cannot conceive that it will be. It is an in. ternational matter of world wide importance. The promotion of world peace is an ideal common to all civilizations. It is not the prerogative of any one country or any one group within country. The treaty was signed by 15 nations and 30 more have already signified their intention to adhere to it. There is every indication that it will be ac- cepted by every nation in the world"
 The secretary was interviewed by newspaper men on the aft deck of the cutter as it speeded up the bay. In response to question as to Her bert Hoover's attitude on the treaty he said:
 "I am quite sure Mir. Hoover does not wish to make the treaty party issue"
 MT. Kellogg brought the original treaty with him. He said he thought the pact had made an excellent im- precision everywhere.
 He was asked whether the report ed secret naval treaty between Eng land and France ''is consistent with the anti-war treaty which you sign ed" Ar. Kellogg seemed annoyed at the question, but answered:
 "Yes. don't think it has any thing to do with the pact whatso- ever. don't understand that there is any naval treaty. Both countries said there is no treaty"
 Asked why he did not visit Eng land but did visit Ireland, he said:
 II went to Dublin to return the visit of President Cosgrave on the invitation of his government. l could not go to England too as l had only five days and it takes one day to get there. think that's a complete 
 Asked whether he thought any nations would try going further with the treaty. he inquired: Do you mean any sanctions?"
 Yes" was the answer.
 No. think if you read my notes you will see that this is as far as the United States will go."

 Speak tn Superior.
 Superior. Wis. Sept. 10 R-His vacation at an end and with all preparations for his return to Washington completed. there only remained for President Coolidge to attend 8 farewell ceremony in su- perior.
 From his more immediate neieh- bors at Brule river and surrounding territory. the chief executive took leave yesterday when. at the end Of his last Sunday service in the head of the lakes region he thanked the blind preacher of his church, and through him all his congregation, for the hospitality with which he was welcomed this summer.
 Three Months' Rest
 After almost three months of open air life under the tall pines of the northland, President and Mrs Coolidge wondered today whether. after all. they would not have done better to have continued their vaca- tion ! little longer. Reports from Cedar Island lodge told of MT. Cool idge asking what temperatures in Washington the weather reports in the papers showed. Mrs. Coolidge was said to have remarked that she did not want to appear as if she were leaving unduly early the place which had restored her health from the illness in the grip of which she was when she arrived here.
 To Return Soon
 Arrangements were completed, however. for the chief executive to be back in the capital by the mid de of the "eex. The Superior and neighborhood population was invit- ed to gather this afternoon on the broad opening in front of the sum- mer executive offices for a simple ceremony which President Coolidge had requested should be organized to give him the opportunity to say few words of goodbye.
 The character of this afternoons ceremony was kept purposely infor- nal at President Coolidge's request. The people were asked to gather merely to hear Mayor Baxter of Su- perior say a few words of apprecia- ton for the chief executives stay here.
 MT. Coolidge asked that the occas- ion be not made too formal by radio arrangements. loud speakers or even presiding officers. He desired in- stead, he said, to partake of the same air of spontaneity which char acterized all his pleasures this sum- mer.
 Business concerns in Superior. however, had already yesterday sig nified their intention of allowing their employees to leave their jobs early so that this afternoons fare- we'll ceremony, despite efforts 10 keep it on an informal plane. might be one of the largest functions so far held in the city.
 Fishing On Tap
 A last fishing excursion had been organized by President Coolidge early today despite the nearness of his departure. His fishing rod was almost the last of his possessions which this morning had not been packed in the numerous boxes and trunks which were ready for loading on the special train which will take him back to Washington. John La rock, MT. Coolidge's faithful Chip pewa Indian guide, who since June has been taking the chief executive on the swift waters of the Brule. was on hand for 8 last paddle on the stream.
