"New Deal" Is Main Issue In Early
 Election
By EDWARD. GARRISON Chief Editorial Writer, Portland
 Evening News


 (Written for NEA Scrvice)
 Portland, Me.-Voters of Maine will weigh the New Deal at the polls September 10, nearly two months in advance of the 47 other states. The outcome of the elec- tions here will be awaited hope- fully by both major national par tics.
 For the old campaign slogan, "As Maine goes, so goes the na- tion," still seems to have a power ful psychological effect, despite the double somersault of the Pine Tree State electorate in 1882.
 In the state election two years ago, Maine democrats triumphantly elected a governor (the party's third since 1861D, won two of the allotted three seats in the House of Representatives and gave stiff bat tie for the third. That, for tradi- tionally republican Maine, was in the nature of sweeping demo- cratic victory.
 Democrats Expect Gains
 And then, to the amazement of the nation and the unbounded joy of the g.o.p., the state gave Hoov- CT lead of 3S,000 over Roosevelt in the national election, two months later.
 This year Maine's firmly en- trenched democracy confidently ex- poets to hold the ground gained two years ago and is by no means gloomy over it's prospects for fur ther gains. Republicans are just as earnestly working for a smash ing victory in the September elec- tion but are not so buoyantly con- fident of success.
 Both parties are making the New Deal a major issue. Demo- crats are urging that only by re- electing Governor Louis J. Brann and sending to the state capital a democratic legislature to support him can Maine hope to continue sha asng in New Deal benefits.
 The republican watchword is that Maine and the nation have had their fill of New Deal "experi- mentation,'' that the average citi- zen yearns for the allegedly "good old days'' before MIRA, AAA. and the Brain Trust came into being Added to the weight of republican tradition in Maine is the average Down East citizens distrust of in- novation and experimentation in governments quality upon which republican leaders are counting heavily as the campaign goes into its final stage.
 On the other hand, urban and rural Maine alike have fared fair ly we'll under the New Deal-havc had their full share of CCC and CWA. of HOLC. AAA and ERA benefits. And the conviction per- sists that with a republican gov- ernor at Augusta, and a stronger republican representation at Washington the story might have been decidedly different. Therein lies the strength of the democratic plea for support.
 On September 10 Maine will elect a governor, a United States senator and three representatives

The Oakville fire district tax col- leetor will be at Spooners' drug store tonight from 2 to 9 o'clock CD. S. T.). Up to September 6. 1884, only three hundred and sixty of the nine hundred and sixty tax owners had settled their accounts for the 1894 taxes. This is thirty seven percent and the remaining sixty-two and half per cent have until September Is, 1884, to settle without being placed in the delin- quent class.
 Taxes unpaid on September 16, 1884, will have two months inter- est added to them at the prevail- ing rat of percent per annum.
 The tax law for the state of Connecticut states that taxes not paid at the end of the non-interest period shall bear interest from their due date which in this case in August 15, 1884.
 The tax law further states that interest shall be computed for full months only, that is for any part of month a full months interest shall be added.
 In order to give everyone a chance to pay the collector will be at Spooner's drug store on We'd nesday. Friday and Saturday eve nings of next week as we'll as Fri day evening of this week.
 The tax collectors telephone number is Watertowp 660.
 In those sections of Oakvi1le known as Melrose. Capwell Park, and Oakville Terrace, the town is dispsoing of various building lots because taxes have not been paid on them in number of years. In many instances it is impossible to locate the owners of the lots, while in other instances, the owner does not show any inclination to pay his taxes and the only way the town has of getting its taxes is by sale of the lots.
 The Oakville Terrace and the Capewell Park tracts were opened by the Wilbur Land company of Boston, Mass, and the Melrose tract was opened by MT Cables of Waterbury.

MONEY SAVED BY
 FALL CLEANUP
Cutting Corn Flush With
 Ground Hurts BOns

Farmers may save themselves and their neighbors thousands oL dollars in the coming season if thev vii icut their corn flush with the ground now. at harvest time, and tlispose of the stalks properly, states w. E.. Britton of the Con- necticut Agricultural Experiment Station in, a special bulletin Just issued.
 The European corn borer has caused severe financial losses sn the past two years, the bulletin saws. Drastic measures are re- ouired to save Connecticut's corn crop and other crops that the borer is likely to attack. Whether a grower cu1tivates a tiny patch. or acres of corn. he Is urged to cooperate.
 pr Britton outlines, the follow ing ways of safely disposing of the debris after low cutting:
 1. Cut when green and put In the silo to be used for fodder.
 2. When dry. put through the silage cutter, or shredder, in prep aration for use as fodder. bedding, or litter for livestock. This kihs the borers.
 g. Otherwise destroyeu. All effective method is to burn all stalks and the larger weeds Tn the field. - .h h,I. letin suggests that corn cribs pc screened, and cobs ana sushs burned and buried. v \.
 Clean blowing under in faH or early spring is also a good clean up measure. the circular points ss out, m but there is risk in putting orr II inc cleanup until spring. Last May. for example, the land was too wet s,s 7 to n be plowed until after the mons ,in had emerged from old stupulv, .ns., Therefore, cutting low rign. ig,,h,s nJ~ will save expense and trouple.

Pine Tree State Also Votes On
 Prohibition

representative since 1921, faces a comparative newcomer in Maine politics, former Mayor Simon M. Hamlin of South Portland. Beedy's s chances for reelection are not overly bright. In 1882 he was re- turned to Washington by a mar gin of only 1,756 in a vote of 80,46S. Beedy is a dry, Hamlin is frankly wet. And wet sentiment has increased steadily in three of the. four First District counties since the repeal of national pro- hibition brought hard liquor'' back to adjacent New Hampshire and nearby Massachusetts.
 The Second District contest is a one-way affair with democratic Representative Edward c. Moran, Jr, assured of reflection. His op- ponent is Judge Zelma M. Wwinal of Belfast, former member of the state legislature.
 Hard Fight Expected
 Two bitter foes seek each oth- Two years ago John G. Utterback Bangor democrat, defeated former Governor Ralph O. Brewster of OcAtST Uy OtyOzU IO C4yGZO. DTGW- ster contested the election but Ut terback retained his seat. This year both candidates seek vindi- cation Utterback's accomplish ments in Congress have not been particularly impressive. Brewster is favored to win this time by a small majority.
 The outcome of the referendum on repeal of state prohibition is anybody's guess. Briefly it may be said the cities favor repeal while the rural districts are quite likely to vote for retention. Few bets are being made.
 Because of the states tradition al republicanism, a g.o.p. victory here this fall must necessarily be of landslide proportions, to be convincing. Democrats, for the same reason, feel they could lose the governorship and two of the three seats in the Lower House Tn

 In the gubernatorial contest, democratic Governor Louis J. Brann seeks reelection and is op- posed by Alfred K. Ames, retired lumberman. Brann, elected by 2,25S in a total of 239,958 two years ago, is favored to win.
