Auburn, Me (UP)-No more will spectral wraiths fit among Auburn tombstones on dark nights. No more will eerie walls pierce the night from the direction of the haunted" house.

Political News

Final pleas to the electorate are the order of the day and evening throughout the state. Candidates on the various party tickets were all busy getting their last words be- fore the people, some of them confident of victory, most of them expecting nothing more than a good yote." The cur few ending the campaign speaking will ring at about Il o'clock tonight and then the candidates and election work CTS will retire, looking forward to a busy day tomorrow, when the "yoice of the people" will be registered.
 Six parties will be on the voting machines, with the dem- ocrats holding first place and the independent citizens party occupying the bottom place. Candidates of both the repub- lican and democratic parties and some in the socialist party felt confident of victory today in the state. The rest, cOnsti- tuting the majority of candi- dates running for office, were just hoping for "big vote." These other candidates include those running on the tickets of the. socialist, sOcialist-labor and communist parties.
 Party leaders throughout the state today predicted an un- usually large off-year election tomorrow. This is due, it is ex- plained, to the fact that the "New Deal" question, a natiOn- al issue of two years ago is an issue in this years election, also. The democrats are on the defensive and the republicans have conducted 8 most vigor- ous offensive.
 Foes of the New Deal, states Cong. Herman P. Kopplemann of Hartford, are of ''sman minds in comparison with the giant intellect of the man in the White House." Congress man Kopplemann, democrat, seeks reelection in the first dis trict. Senator John c. Blackall of Hartford, Waterbury native, claims that while the republi- cans are urging support of the 2. o. D. candidates they are fearing "inside" just the same because if they do win they know they have a terrific re- sponsibility to shoulder.
 ssHugh M. Alcorn for presi- dent''-this slogan was sOund- ed last night in Hartford. Even without the state cleo. tion run off, Nicholas F. Rago of the Capital City, g. o. p. nominee for representative, feels that States Attorney AL corn will be the logical candi- date for the presidential nOm- ination two years hence. Mir Rago spoke over the radio.
 In Newington there is much interest being shown in the outcome of tomOrrow's polling because of the fact that there is ''write-in'' candidate in the filed. E. LeROy Pond failed to get the republican nOmina- ton for the house at the g. o. D. caucus. Judge Harold G. Lucas was nominated. Now Pond is running on a "Write- in" ticket. In other words his name will not appear one tn official ballots but the voters are being asked to write his name in when they cast their votes tomorrow.
 NewingtOn is normally re- publican. Therefore, the demo- crats of the town are excep- tionally jubilant over the split between Pond and Judge Lu- Cas. The democratic candidate
