SWEEP

Democratic Opposition Be-
Iieved "FIat on Back" in
Pine Tree State.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,
star CORRESPONDENT of The star.

PORTLAND. Me-, August 30--Maine,
ity viii elect Republican Governor, a
Republican Senator and four Republican
members of the House. 1t is lucky for
the Republican party this year that the
first test of strength in the congress
sional campaign and election comes in
the Pine Tree State.
The old saying, CAS- Maine goes, so
goes the Nation is not always to be
relied upon, but there seems little doubt
this year that the Republicans are to
win here, and to win with lead that is
comparable to Republican victories in
Maine in other of" years.
Democrats Are Crushed.
There are a number of reasons for
this In the first place the democratic
party in Maine is fiat on its back Even
the Democrats will admit that, If they
are not to be quoted. 1t has been fiat
on its back for some time. Not since
1914 has a Democratic Governor been
elected, and the late Senator Johnson
of this State, a Democrat, was elected
way back in 1911
Secondly, Maine has suffered less from
the business depression than other
States of the Union, generally speaking
It's industries and business did not
reach the' high peaks reached in other
States during the boom time. But it
is also true that they have not suffered
as greatly during the depression of the
last 10 months as have others. For that
reason there is less soreness here with
the Republican party than in several OF
the other States.
Thirdly, the prohibition issue, which
has troubled the Republicans in New
York, Massachusetts,, Illinois, New Jer-
sey and other States, is not troubling
the G.. o. p here. Maine is still dry.
No one is talking about prohibition in
this campaign One candidate for the
Republican senatorial nomination.

have enrolled as Republicans. and have
taken part this year in the Republican
primary. They were tired of casting
votes that never counted for victory.
The Democrat workers, therefore, are at
a loss where to turn when they begin
their canvassing. They are hoping.
The Democrats, SO far in their CAM
paign here, have centered on the Re-
publican State administration and have
given little attention To national issues.

Blighted Urban Areas Reviewed

Toronto, July il Pl-The causes and cure of "blighted' urban areas were reviewed today at the closing session of the national association Of real estate boards by Harla1d Bartholomew of St. Louis, noted city planning engineer.
 He said the symptoms of such a condition are frequent vacancies in property, a general appearance Of decay, and little prospect of re- newed market for the district. The cause he attributed to uncontrolled large scale growth. Skilfull city planning, he said, is both the cure and the prevention.

 Much is said and written today upon the subject of decentralization of cities,' Mr. Bartholomew said.
