Maine Election Returns Cause
Both Parties to Redouble
Their Efforts

Washington, Sept. 16.-(FC-A new
surge of activity. preSaging whirl-
wind finish after weeks of half
motion, has been put into the presi-
Dental campaign by the Maine cleo
ton, the Roosevelt western swing and
renewed discussion of the bonus.
So far as the political generals
themselves are concerned, it appears
certain that efforts to be exerted on
public opinion from now on will be on
a scale as great as the country has
seen in any recent campaign.
For the expected redoubling of
Maine election returns are largely re-
sponsible. Rejoicing Democrats,
thinking that in their Maine victory
they sense distinct advantage every
where, are encouraged to press every
opportunity to the utmost. Surprised
Republicans have been called upon by
President Hoover himself to rally for
a hard fight"
No one can guess at this stage
whether sparks from the roaring fur
naces of organized party activity will
start any conflagration among the
voters themselves.
Word has come to party leaders
from many sections that large body
of the people is silent and apathetic.
In general, neither campaign contri-
buttons nor attendance at political
meetings show an average high
enough to indicate intense popular
interest. Yet in Maine the vote was
very heavy. which may mean that the
public is thinking and meaning to act,
even if it is not talking.
For the moment. most OF the out
ward activity is on the part of the
Democrats. Governor Roosevelt,
speeding toward the west coast, is
asking for the support of the voters
of both parties. as he turns from the
old subjects of the general depression
and prohibition to speak about farm
relief. power and the railroads. It is
the aim of the Democrats to CONSOLE

strength to win regardless Of what the
east may do.

cans for an intense October drive In

action every available party wheel
