Hoover Is Worried Over Maine Tumble
 And Wants Action
He Grabs the Reins Himself and Is Using Spurs on lis
 ieutenants in an Effort to Offset Maine Defeat .

republicans carried Maine for the governorship, all congressionat seats and the presidency. 4s Because, of the close margin by which the democrats carried the state this week. republicans conn- dently expect that by redoubled efforts they will recapture the state in the presidential election
 Reaction to the result in Maine overshadowed the outcome of nine state primary contests.
 Because all three winning demo- crats in Maine were wet, Jouett Shouse, new hend of the Associa- ton Against the 18th Amend- ment, declared the result was the most sweeping, pronounced ana significant victory" against prohi- bition that has occurred since re- peal became a national issue.
 Some of President Hoover's closest advisors privately feel the republicans were not wet enough in Maine, that this together with the effect of the depression, con- tributed to their defeat.
 However, Beedy, the one winning republican candidate for congress, Is noted dry personally and po- litically.
 In his telegram to Chairman Sanders, Mir Hoover warned against destructive panaceas."
 "Our task is to acquaint every man and woman in the country with the facts and issues which confront the nation," he said. Tn periods of emergency and stress, steadfast adherence to sound prin-l ciples of government is indispensa- ble to national security and a pre- requisite to recovery in business, agriculture and employment. Ad. herence to these principles has saved the country during the. last 12 months from all manner of de. structive panaceas. This adherence and the measures and policies we have adopted have preserved these principles and laid the foundation for recovery" t3
 Chairman Sanders sent MT Hoov- CT telegram expressing disap- pointment at the result in Maine but predicting the president would carry the state in November.

United Press Stan COrEeSpOnueutD Washington, Sept 14-(UP)- President Hoover, concerned over the democratic victory in Maine, has taken the lead in spurring his republican lieutenants to greater campaign activity while Governor Roosevelt swung into his trans continental speaking tour.
 We have a strong case and a right cause" he declared in a per- sonal message to Chairman Sanders of the republican national com mittee.
 He said republicans had known all along that owing to the ravages of the world depression, the fight would be hard one but that the result in Maine imposed need for stronger efforts to make the issues at stake clear to the people. At the same time, he declared, continuance of reconstruction ef- forts transcended all personal and partisan considerations.
 Some of MT Hoover's advisors were urging that he expand his speaking program beyond the two or three addresses now planned. Most republican leaders made no effort to conceal their disappoint- ment over party losses in Maine On the contrary they frankly were using the defeat to stir party work CTS to more aggressive efforts.
 Republicans saved one congress sional seat in re-electing Repre-. sentative Beedy, a dry, but they lost the other two and the gov ernorship. Even in 1916 when

DEPUTY CORONER
 MAKES FINDING
Clears Windsor Man From Criminal Responsibility
 in Motor Accident
AT SOUTHINGTON

In a finding made public yester- day, Deputy Coroner Harrison D.. Schofield of southington clears Royal W. Thompson of Windsor of criminal responsibility for, eht criminal responsibility for the death of Henfy c. Young, of South Manchester which occurred after an automobile accident at the foot of Southington mountain, August 20. Your> was a passenger in Fhompson's car which collided with a truck owned by produce company in Westfield. Mass, and operated by James M. Kozak of the same city.
 Deputy Coroner Schofield's find ing reads in part:
 Both the truck and the Thomp- son car were proceeding up the Southington mountain. Thompson's 5 speed was not excessive; the truck was proceeding not more than five miles an hour. For some unac- countable reason Thompson did not notice this truck in front of him until he was within a few feet of the truck. He pulled sharply to his left but was unable to totally clear the truck and the right side of his car came into contact with the left rear side of the truck. The lights of the truck were in proper working order as were the lights on Thompson's roadster. Both cars were on their right side of the highway. Lawrence F. Egan of Windsor, an occupant of the Thompson car, did not notice the truck ahead until about the same moment as Thompson saw 1t and started to pull to his left. The de- ceased was sitting on the extreme right of the front seat; Egan was between the driver and the de- ceased. The weather at the time was clear and the road dry.
 ''In view of the manner both the truck and the Thompson car were proceeding at the time it would appear that the injuries and re- sulting death of said Henry c. Young were caused by the nnomen- tary inattention of the driver of the Thompson car and I. therefore, find that said death was not caused by any criminal act. omission. or carelessness on the part of said Royal w. Thompson, or any other person or persons"

Opposition to
 Wood Shingles
Question Introduced in City Government at
 New Britain

The city officials in New Britain have discussed a proposed ordi- nance prohibiting the use of wood shingles for roofing within the city limits. No decision has yet been reached. but judging by the opin- ions expressed it is doubtful if the ordinance will be passed. There are those who believe that if wood shingles are not allowed to be used for roofing the cost of other mater ial will take a big jump and it will cost as much to roof a house as it did when there was nothing else but wood shingles in general use for this purpose.
 The principal reason put for ward for doing away with shingles inside the city limits is to> reduce the fire hazards.

would show that the Democrats had
deliberately delayed these economies
for nearly two years."
Wants Responsibility Centered
Announcing his views on reorgan
ization Thursday, two days after he
had virtually killed the general man
ufacturers' sales tax plan as means
Of balancing the budget, Roosevelt's
advisers made it plain he believes the
proposed reorganization will be an in
surmountable task unless the author
ity and the responsibility for it are
centered in the chief executive.
In this connection, Roosevelt's view.
as made known by his friends, is that
when the effort toward consolidating
begins the president himself will be
less open to attack by organized
groups who fear their interests will
be endangered by the economies than
the individual members Of congress
will be- Roosevelt's plan is to have
the individual members of congress
approve his plan only through their
votes on the appropriation bills ac-
companying it. One suggestion has
been that the president-elect permit
the Democratic leaders to present his
plan in the form of rider to defi-
cheney appropriation bill expected t1
be presented in congress during the
present short session.
The whole matter Of the president
elects plan probably will be gone over
at length with Vice President Elect
John N. Garner, speaker Of the house

Urges Protection of
Trees From Rabbits

North Dakotans are urged by John
Taylor, Bottineau, extension forester,
to protect their young trees from jack
and cottontail rabbits during the next
four months. He suggested several
protective measures.
C0ttontailS are unusually numerous
this year in the wooded parts of the
state, and the recent snowstorms and
cold weather have started them mi
grating in search of food earlier than
usual, Taylor reported.
The tender bark Of young trees is
fine dessert for the rabbits in winter,
he said, and anyone who has new
windbreak planting is urged to give
it close attention the next four
months. The rabbits, Taylor said,
usually strip off all bark as high as
they can reach, thus killAag broadleaf
trees at the top.
Taylor suggested five-foot woven
wire fence with close stays as the best
insurance against the rabbits. Wrap
pings Of gunnysack or tar paper or
wire poultry netting fastened around
the stems viii give good results cheap
er, he stated. Repellant paints have
been tried successfully by Q number
Of farmers cooperating In the state
windbreak projects, the forester re-
ported.

MFR. Campbell obviously is using
his fancy when he says the conversa-
ton with Stain, which started at
l o'clock p. M, continued long after
night into the dawn. Indeed the
conversation lasted no more than two
hours. Mr.. Campbells fancy is a
real American one.
Mr.. Campbell evidently fabricates
when he affirmed that Stain took my
hand with his two hands and said we
may become friends
I'm reality nothing of the kind took
place nor could have taken place. Mr..
Campbell could not ignore that Sta
lin does not need friends like Camp
bell.
Hits TrOtzky Episode
"Mr. Campbell fabricates more and
more when he ascribes to Stain
words like under Trotzky (exiled
Russian bolshevik) they really tried
to extend communism all over the
world and this was the first reason
for the rupture between Trotzky and
himself (Stalin), that Trotzky trust
&c world communism while he tStalin)
wanted to limit his activity in his
cwn country
This senseless fabrication which
turns facts upside down can be be-
lleved only by deserters to the camps
Of Kautskys. Wells and Mr.. Trot-
zky. (This reference apparently was
to Carl Kautsky. the German Social
list, and H. G. Wells, the British nov
elist who caused a sensation several
years ago by praising Russian insti-
tutions). In fact, the conversation
had no relation to the question of
Trotzky and Trotzky's name was not
mentioned during all the converSa-
tion," the article went on.
In the published record of the in
terview, Stain was quoted as saying
to Campbell
1T is very clear to me that the
United States, more than any other
country. has reasons to provide busi-
llesS relations with the Soviet Union,
not only because the United States
is rich in technique and capital, but
because in no other country would
