MAINE HAS HER
 OWN TROUBLES


 Augusta, Me-, Nov 6.-(UP)-- The Maine legislature convened in special session to-day to consider the method of dispensing liquor under repeal. Two bills conecrn- ing the liquor question in Maine were under consideration. with possibility of several others being introduced. The measures were drafted by Governor Louis J. Brann's special advisory commit tee, and former State Senator Frank P. Southard, judge nf the Augusta municipal court. As both are revenue bills. they were intro- duced in the house.
 The so-called Verrill liquor pre- pared by Judge Southard is similar to the New Hampshire law and provides for staet liquor stores and appointment of a liquor control commission. It also provides for licensing of hotels, restaura nts. clubs. railroad dining cars and vessels for the consumption of liquor on the premises with food sold at the same time.

 had been received in the town clerks office. It was figured that the total would reach about 225 or S0V ONAOAO IAC udy ID oVCfs
 Harold Curried, representing the republican. party, and Michael J. Rergin, representing the demo-
 cratic party, were in the town
 clerks office today accepting the
 ballots and opening them in ac.
 cordance with the state law on ab. sentee voting.
 This was the first time that ab-
 sentee voting was permitted in Connecticut, thanks to a constitu-
 tional amendment adopted at the
 last session of the legislature. Two years ago the electors of the state. 1 including Waterbury, voted in fa- vor of absentee voting M a specia
 ballot included when the national
 election took place. The law re-
 quires two representative of the
 registrars, each of a different party,
 to be present with the town clerk
 when the absentee ballots are opened. When the ballots are
 opened, the registrars representa-
 lives visit the voting districts in
 which the absentee voters are listed
 and cast the votes for the persons
 unable to appear themselves. They
 are bound, under a fine and jail
 penalty, not to divulge the way in
 which any absentee voter showed preference.
 Many of those who voted today
 on the absentee ballots had not
 had a chance for many years to
 exercise their franchise. They were
 invalids. Today all those in bed or
 unable to leave their houses were
 able to vote today under the new law.

NEW DEALERS TO
 FIGHT FOR GAINS
(Continued from Page 1.)

lEVLN Edk6 1.y 
 .Farley's predictions were based upon confidence of success in six
 states and the possibility of pick
 ing up seats from a group of five other states. Democrats admit the possibility of defeat in only one state, Wyoming, where Sen Joseph c. O'Mahoney is seeking return to office.
 Six States In Doubt The six states democrats expect to gain are Ohio, Missouri, West
 Virginia, New Jersey, New Mexico
 and Maryland. All were represent
 ed by republicans in the last sem ate.
 There is the possibility of the democratic triumphs in Pennsyl.
 vania, Delaware, Indiane, Rhode
 Island and Vermont. Republican
 incumbents are seeking reelection from those states.
 Sen Robert M. LaFollette, who
 deserted the republican banner to form the progressive party in Wis.,
 consin, was opposed half heartedly
 by the democratic high command Johnson and LaFollette were en- toying rewards for their support of President Roosevelt before and
 after his election. Another repub-
 lican who bolted Herbert Hoover
 in 1892, Sen Bronson Cutting of New Mexico, was opposed strongly by the Farley organization. His re- election was classified as doubtful. Republicans In Danger The republicans who appeared | most likely of defeat were Sem | Simeon D. Fess, Ohio; Roscoe q.
 Patterson, Missouri; Henry D.
 Hatfield, West Virginia and Ham-
 ilton Y. Kean. New Jersey.
 The New England situation was l doubtful. Democrats expressed
 confidence that they would be able
 to defeat Sens Frederic c. Walc0tt
 in Connecticut, Felix Hebert in
 Rhode Island and perhaps even Warren R. Austin in Vermont. | The makeup of the senate in
 the 73d congress was 60 demo-
 crats, 35 republicans and, one l farmer -laborite.

In addition to these national off, fees, B states elect governors and other officers and involved in all states were a multiplicity of minor offices.
 M Generally Good Weather
 First reports from throughout the nation indicated generally good weather, a heavy. vote, and very little violence.
 In Pennsylvania where the New Deal-Old Deal issue had been sharply drawn in a bitter com paign the election was ushered in by a machine gun massacre of democratic supporters in the mining town of Kelayres. Three were killed and 23 were wounded when assassins turned a machine gun on a democratic parade.
 The state election with the most interest nationally was that of Cai- ifornia where Upton Sinclair, former socialist running as dem ocratic gubernatorial nominee, op- posed Frank Merriam.

But in almost all states, except those of the overwhelmingly democratic south, the New Deal question fig tired with more or less prominence and the results if pronounced democratic victory, will be inter- pretcd by democrats as popular endorsement of President Roosc- velts policies; if a pronounced republican victory, it will be inter- preted by republicans as popu- lar repudiation of the same poli- oies.
 Surveys indicate republicans have possibilities and probabilities of gaining house seats in 24 states. Democratic leaders expect to hold losses in the house to not more than 10 seats.
 t Both sides, as customary, issued Statements claiming sweeping vic- tories.
 Lehman Almost Assured M Next to the Sinclair Merriam race in California. the state elec- lion attracting more attention was that of New York where the democratic gubernatorial incum- bent, Herbert H. Lehman, had the personal endorsement of President Roosevelt. Lehman was expect ed to win by large plurality over his republican opponent, Robert Moses.
 ll In New York city, Tammany Hall made its first bid for power since its humiliating defeat in last years municipal elections. Its candidate for comptroller, Frank J Taylor, was given an even chance against the fusion party incum- bent, Joseph McGoldrick.

IN ORDER to substitute proven facts for the
! cries, the Forest Service is to set up eight
experimental forests to serve outdoor labora-
tories for the development of better forest
practice, for study of erosion problems and to
determine the best types of trees for given
localities in the United States Altogether
about As acres will be included in the forests
which will vary in size from 1000 acres to
$1,000.
