MAINE CAMPAIGN
 NEARING ITS END
State May Lose Seat in House
 After Reapportionment

Portland, Me, Sept. Pt-A lethargic campaign for national and state offices neared it's end today as Maine's biennial of year" election day grew closer.
 Voters next Monday will elect United States. senator, governor, fcur congessmen and an extensive munity officers.
 Big guns of the G. o. P. national battery, headed by Senator Simeon D. Fess, chairman of the republican national committee. unlimbered in behalf of their party candidates in series of whirlwind tours over the state.
 Likelihood that a reapportion- ment of congress would delete one Maine seat in the house was seen by som observers as the reason for the oncentration of republican oratory. Arguments for retention of all G. o. P. seatholders in the national house and senate dominated the addresses.
 Interest centered on the effort of Wallace H. White of Lewiston. re- publican congressman from the second district for Il years to ad- vance to the senate. He is opposed by Frank H. Haskell, democrat, Portland attorney.
 Edward C. Moran, Jr., democrat. who was defeated for governor two years ago, again opposes Governor William Tudor Gardiner.

pion ship within their grasp again, for, despite the recent onrush of Walter Johnson's Washington Senators, Connie Mack's men will still breeze in ahead unless they fall into a sudden slump-a thing which they have not done for two years. True, they must invade the west for their final games, but so must Wash ington and the New York Yankees, the only other teams which could possibly be considered contenders, so that will be no handicap.
 Johnson has his Senators going at top speed, thanks to pitching staff coached under his own expert direc- tion, and he may yet fool the base ball world by overhauling the Mack men. Yet the Athletics always seem to have something in reserve to call upon when pressed, and there are no auaking breasts in Quaker Town at present The Yankees virtually dropped from the race when Babe Ruth injured his finger, and neither he nor his team has been able to start anew, leaving Washington the only team with even an outside chance of catching the Philadel- phians
 The Mackmen are virtually 'in." but the National league scramble is still a mad one.

gates from that town are all old 1 line republicans and. are headed by the postmaster, who was appointed to office through Fenn's instru- mentality.
 Claiming everything in sight is an old stunt in politics and asser- tions by both Seymour and Fenn factions that they are assured of a majority of convention votes may be digested with a> grain of salt. Beating the old bass drum is a trick familiar to candidates for of flee. Just now they seem to be do- ing this thing with gusto and yerve.
 Mayor Quigley's remark to the reporters that he was seriously thinking of running for the nomina- tion was simply a notice to the convention that he was to be con- Sidered as a dark horse It is also generally accepted as a warning that he will be in the front rank as a candidate in 1884. If Quigley continues to be a political power and holds sway then as he does to- day among the republicans in New Britain, it may not be such an empty warning.

1 up with the five year industrial pro- | gram of the nation, particularly since the latest report on building and business conditions shows a marked falling off in the country's work along this line. Coincident
 with this announcement comes one | that the Reds have arrested a num- | Der of counter revolutionists who
 planned to overthrow the Soviet regime and establish a government of their own.
 Undoubtedly the counter-revolu tionists will be sentenced to jail- and kept therefor daring to sug- gest that there is anything wrong with Communism. There is nice parallel to be drawn here, using the activities of the Communists in America. who are attempting the same sort of work, Russian agents here may know, when they get their next orders from Moscow, exactly how their government feels toward organizers who rebel against the stablished regime. It is doubtful, however, if they will find any sym pathy for ardent Americans who, in the same circumstances advocate jailing a few Reds for Communistic statements in this country
 The industrial program of Russia undoubtedly will assist the nation in taking large place in commerce and business. Patriotic Americans by the score are willing enough to take Soviet money and give the benefit of expert advice to Russia in its extensive building program. Many American companies, of course, have contracts for work III Russia as part of the five year pro- gram. The fact that difficulties in carrying the work forward exactly on schedule have been encountered is not surprising, for any such huge project is likely to meet setbacks The test will come. however. over a period of years. when Russia really finds out what the public reaction is to a community pooling of resources and effort
 Meanwhile it is amusing to see the Communists facing somewhat the same problems that American business and government encounter. Apparently the Soviet system does not smooth out all of the difficult ties, silence all of the malcontents and immediately convert the entire populace to the idealism of it's regime.

Queer Questions Asked On Primary Results

While the politicians and their cohorts were sitting back in con- fort Thursday night, after the cau- GUS battle was over, and waiting for the count to be made, the telephone operator of the Herald was engaged in a switchboard battle that had the caucus battle backed off the boards. The operator has but two hands. The Herald switchboard has many little holes near the bottom that are supposed to have the cords stuck into when a bright light flashes, and with cords and holes, the operator needed four hands, naturally.
 The first call came in at S:20 p. m. At 1920, the operator stuck the night cords in and called it a day. In the two hours exactly 276 calls came in. or an average of two and three-tenths calls per minute.

WHO WILL WIN THE
REMNANTS?


 With the major league races en- tering the stretch" and the World Series only a month away, interest in America's S national sport is natur- ally centering upon which teams will win the right to contest in that annual October classic. Last fall saw the Philadelphia Athletics carry the American league banner to it's third consecutive post season victory over the National. which was represented by the Chicago Cubs, and at present it would seem that these same two teams would again do battle next month, although much may happen in the 20-odd games which eacIl has yet to play.
 With four teams punched only about five games apart, the race ir the National league is by far the more exciting of the two. The Cubs, the New York Giants. the St Louis Cardinals, and the Brooklyn Robins were running almost neck and neck at this writing and, while the Chi cago nine has the edge on the other contestants, it is by no means cer- tain that the flag will again fly on the shore of Lake Michigan.
 The death of Hal Carlson and the disabling of Rogers Hornsby and Charlie Grimm seem to have only spurred the Cubs to greater achieve ments and at present they appear the best choice of any of the four. Yet they have always been consider ed poor road team and they have a hard grind ahead of them in the final weeks as they leave their be- loved Wrigley field to come east, where. among other teams, they must play the Giants and Robins. Their chance to win a second pen nant depends on their success in living down their reputation on this trip.
 McGraw has his Giants hot on the trial Of the Cubs and will have the benefit of playing his September games light in his own Polo Grounds, which should give him ad : vantage enough to offset the handl- cap of the Cubs present lead and throw the outcome into the laps of the gods.

New York, Sept. - The restau- rant waiter. in popular thought, graces one of the lowliest callings. Yet many in New York give their services a patina of rare dignity. This is especially true of those enl- poyed at de luxe clubs, such as the Metropolitan. Lotus, Yacht, etc.
 Many grow gray serving several generations and almost become q part of select Knickerbocker fami- lies. During the past year five walters were remembered in wills or wealthy bon vivants. An oft told legend is the elder Morgan gave a Virginia farm to waiter who serv- ed him well.
 There are walters who have "fol- lowings." Many refuse to be cap tains CT even head walters because they do not want to end such profit able intimaCies. Men of means ap- preciate excellent service in the same degree as excellent food, and will pay for it.
 The old Fifth Avenue hotel had Terry, a kindly Irishman, who with consideration waited upon the great of that epoch. After the hotel closed Terry was jobless, senescent and without funds. Today he lives in q Killarney cottage-a grateful gift from those he faithfully attended.
