Discusses Systems for Edi- fication of Those
 Voting Today

PORTLAND, Maine, Sept. IA. - Coy. Alfred M. Landon closed the Maine election campaign here last Saturday night with a denunciation of the system of organized au- thority yielded by one man"
 The Kansas Governor, coming half way across the continent to address Maine voters. who are go- ing to the polls today, on what he termed the eve of great victory said the choice of Americans lies between two systems. One he said, lis the system of a free com petitive enterprise which while not perfect, at least does not dole out opportunity according to the gov- ernment yardstick.
 On the other side, the Republi- can Presidential nominee said, is a system under which the privacy of our home is invaded, our fields lie idle by government edict across the length and breadth of America and million signs spring up read ing, by Our Government, keep eff.
 Landon scored the planned econ omy which he said was incompat- ible with a Democratic form of Government.

w1AgEER SYNOPSIS

the Islands being so adaptable for wild bird nesting, Dr. Nitric said, is the complete absence of rodents except where they have been im- ported by fox farmers. It is land of sea mammals rather than land mammals, he said.
 The fox farmers had an excellent year last year, Warden Jewell re- ported, and this season promises to be as good The Aleutians produce the famous Alaska blue fox. They run wild on the various islands which are under lease to the farm CTS and forage their own food. Dr. Nitric found them to be beach, combers to a large degree and one of the objectives of the study is to de- termine just what they eat and then to promote those conditions under which they thrive best.
 Contraband
 Warden Jewell brought in about 500 beavers. 50 foxes and one swan skin which he seized from law vio- lators and about 20 rifles taken from aliens Jewell is going south tonight on the Brown Bear and will meet Mrs. Jewell in Seattle.
