Joy OF DEMOCRATS
HELD JUSTIFIED
Advantage to Party Ticket
Seen in Recent Maine
Victory.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

NEW YORK, September 14.-The
Democrats are fully justified in their
exultation over their Maine victory.
They say 1t points toward Democratic
victory in the Nation in November and
the Republicans cannot possibly argue
against that Interpretation. The Maine
victory is an omen of success to the
Democrats in November and an advan-
tage to them now.
The outcome in Maine, after all
qualifications have been made. lends
itself to no Interpretation except that
the still existing large amount Of eco
nomic distress gives rise to emotional
resentment, and that this expresses
itself in voting against the party in
power.
Next Weeks Important.
A careful judgment might say that
the Maine result points toward Demo-
cratic victory as of September IL, and
that if the Republicans are to win in
November they must accomplish their
winning during the eight weeks re-
manning. That has been done before
The best judgment within Maine and
outside agrees that the principal cause
of the Maine result was economic con-
ditions.
The Maine victory will modify the
campaign materially. Every Demo-
cratic worker in the country will be
justly encouraged The party will be
able to command more funds. A con-
siderable number of individuals and
newspapers that have not hitherto
taken sides will now join what for the
moment seems to be the bandwagon.
Much of the effect will be exaggerated,
Of course. Perfectly serious Democratic
leaders in Washington today are talking
of carrying Pennsylvania as gravely as
Chairman Raskob did in 1928 On the
Republican side there is already a
stiffening up of energy. They admit
that so far they have underestimated
the forces adverse to them.
Increased Activity Seen.
Both the Republican organization and
conservatives generally will now put
such energy into this campaign as has
not been seen for q generation. One
result will be that Gov. Roosevelt and
Mr. Garner will now be looked upon
intently as potential Presidents In
that role there will be minute inquiry
into their specific beliefs about public
questions. There will be demand upon
Gov. Roosevelt, certainly by the Re-
publcans and probably by much of the
public, for a comprehensive statement
of views such as President Hoover fur
nished in his acceptance speech.
This campaign, in short, Is about TO
become the most tensely fought and
interest-provoking certainly since 1918
and perhaps since 1896.
