studying the trends in the Monday
election throughout the State.
had an excellent opportunity
through the courtesy of the Bangor
News to get an insight into the mean
ing OF the election returns. There
were gathered in the Office in Bangor
several Republicans and Democrats,
party workers and local candidates.
And be it said in commendation of
these Maine folks. in politics, they
certainly know every nook and cor
ner in the State.
Switches Analysed.
AS the returns came from each i'm
portant precinct we compared the
votes with the same districts two
years ago, when Gov. Brann, Demo-
crat, carried the State by about $1,000,
and Fred Hale squeezed through on
the Republican ticket for the United
States Senate by less than 1000.
1t was interesting and significant
to note the way districts which were
Democratic two years ago turned
around this time, but I was curious
to learn and nobody was able to ex-
plain why IN so many places Gov.
Brann's vote of two years ago dropped
OF and wasn't correSpondingly added
to the totals of Senator White, his
Republican opponent.
Maybe there are Jeffersonian Demo-
Gratis in Maine who are themselves re-
framing from going to the polls, feel
ing that they do not like to vote the
Republican ticket. but at the same
time do not wish to aid the New Deal.
The stay-at-home vote was not at
all on the Republican side. For the
Republicans increased their vote ma
terially almost everywhere. Indeed.
there was total of about 10000
ballots cast in Mondays election,
which is an increase of about $4,000
over the presidential election of 1882,
and an increase of 10000 over the
gubernatorial and senatorial elections
Of September, 1884.
Doesn't Mean G. O. p. Victory.
AS for general impressions and
elgnllCduce, ! am convinced tnaL
while LAS Maine goes so goes the
Nation" is valuable piece of adver-
tising for Maine, the election on
Monday does not necessarily mean
that President Roosevelt will be de-
9eated this Autumn.
I say this because the tide of Re-
puhlicanism must inevitably run high
in Maine and while the Republicans
have every reason to be encouraged,
all they can really feel certain about
Is that the 1885 election is a good
horse race and may be decided by
IS or 30 electoral votes either way.
Names vote, on the other hand,
certainly does not indicate a land
slide for Mr.. Roosevelt, for the
simple reason that Republicans are
being Republicans again and are for
getting the causes that drove them
away from Hoover in 1882. These
Republicans, incidentally, are fighting
mad. Mr. Roosevelt is responsible for
this. He, not Landon's affirmative
strength, Is drawing the Republicans
together in common cause against
the man that so many of them have

intense personal loyalty and devotion
which Mr.. Hoover enjoyed from his
| nearest associates.
But it looks as though he would be
reelected. And I do not think that
it will be a purchased vote. purchased

play a role. The same poll shows that
they are overwhelmingly for the Presi-
dent But it will not be their vote
| alone that will swing this election.
Nor will 1t be the fact that the coun-
try Is recovering, that business Is on
the upswing. No one believes that this
process would be retarded by the elec-
ton of Landon. On the. contrary,
most people would agree, think, that
were Landon elected there would i'm
mediately be a tremendous boom.
Instinct to Decide.
Nowhere in this campaign thus far
have the issues become clear A COM
parison of the platforms of the two
major contending parties reveals no
irreconcilable differences, no profound
| cleavages. What are contending are
not two clearly defined programs, not
two organized PHILOSOPHERS. What are
contending are, rather, two attitudes
of mind. The public is confused, and
hesitant, and fearful.
This election will be decided less by
| thought than by instinct. But instinct
is telling great many people that
Mr.. Landon stands for government
doing as little as possible; for trusting
to the free play Of economic forces to
get and keep this country stable and
progressive; and that Mr. Roosevelt
stands for government setting objec-
tives, giving directions and actively
doing something.
I believe that the people of this
country. the majority of them, and
by no means the least patriotic and
the least intelligent, want government
to take direction, want leadership,
want action. believe that the whole
course of history is in this direction
and that it is as inevitable as that the
sun will rise tomorrow. And If Mr..
Roosevelt wins it will be for this rea-
son. He will not win for his achieve
ments, not for his personality, not for
his radio voice, not for his statesman
ship, but because he has shown him.
