State Elections Influence.
Local conditions always influence
the state election 1t is being explained
by republican managers that the peo-
pie Of Maine were feeling the burden
of taxes imposed by the republican
state administration and that the way
they voted locally has no necessary
bearing upon the way such as they
who can get to the polls in November
will vote nationally. Nevertheless, the
democratic management finds great
cause for cheer in this first election
since the party conventions, and is
making the most of it.
Presidential elections are ALWAYS
complicated in many states by the local
elections for governor and other state
officers. And it often happens that
even when the elections are held on
the same day, the candidates of one
party for governor will be elected
while the other party carries the state

Roosevelt, a democrat, was elected

the insistence of the republican man.

as soon as the Maine results were

adhere to his original program of max

Consolidated Departments
The reorganization of government
departments, which congress author
lied at the last session is now under
way In the course of years there has
grown up in Washington a great
amount OF overlapping of authority
and duties, between one department
and another. This has not only caused
confusion and delay in the administra-
ton of public offers, but also dupli-
cation of expense. For example, Not
very long ago 1t was calculated that
more than twenty different govern

the transfer from the department of

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 4-Franklln
D. Roosevelt forces strengthened their

Democratic National Convention TINS

Mr.. VOLTS reelection, which was
voted at the first meeting of the State

being placed in nomination, was taken
as an indication that the Minnesota
delegates will stand by Roosevelt until
the finish in the national convention.
At the same time. however, Repub-
lican leaders we're preparing their dele
cation for the convention and were ex-
pected, although instructed for Presl-
dent Hoover, to re-elect National Com

The election was surprise to the

national committeeman was not expect
ed to take place until the convention

vinced that they will succeed in mus
tering some support for him as a sec

The strong wave of anti-Roosevelt

promising campaign waged against
Smith in the primary election by Mayor
James M. Curley of Boston has abated
