house. Democratic Governor Lou
is J. Brann was reelected in 1884
and the house delegation remain
ed divided, two-to-one in favor of
the Democrats. Frederick Hale,
Republican, retained his seat in
1884 by a margin of only LOO
votes against F. Harold DuBord,
Democrat. In the 1882 presiden-
tial election, Maine cast its cleo
toral votes for Herbert G. Hoo
yer.
In the presidential election this
year Maine will vote for Governor
ALI M. Landon. Political observ-
ers generally believe the Maine
returns reflect New England SEN
timent. Statesmen of all parties
today are attempting to calculate
in their own minds the extent to
which returns from down east in
dictate the trend of popular feel
ing west and south toward the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers.
The reality of the Democratic
reverse is evident in the fact that
the combined attraction of Presi-

and the Democratic party failed
in yesterdays election to hold any
of the 1924 gains in Maine.

round-trip transatlantic flight.
The $4,000 Vultee Monoplane
sank deep into the mire at Mus
grave Harbor, lao miles north of
here, SCATTERING its propeller and
lmching over on one wing tip.
Both filters were bruised and
scratched. Only a break in the
fog prevented their crashing to
death, a fisherman said.
Both filters blamed the crash on
shortage of gasoline but fisher
men who examined the plane said
the tanks contained plenty of
gas"
I'VE flew blind most of the way
through fog and rain with the
wind reaching gale force as we
approached Newfoundland, Rich
man said.
Both men were extremely tired
and retired early to the house of
Thomas Abbott, where they plan

HAS BIG fire
All Equipment Called to
Battle Stiff Water
Front Blaze

CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. Is.
(UP)-Damage estimates last
night ranged from $4,000 to
$25O,0O0 as all Charleston land
and harbor fire fighting apparatus
battled a raging waterfront blaze
which destroyed the Clyde-Mal-
Iory freight terminal here.
Four hours after it broke out
late Monday, the fire still was
roaring at 1880 p. m. Firemen,
however, said it would be under
control shortly.
All the city's fire-fghting appa-
ratus, reinforced by all harbor
fireboats and volunteers. was
massed at the waterfront. Even
the famous horse-drawn negro
fire reserve company was called
out as the city was covered by a
smoke pail and the conflagration
threatened to spread to other wa
terfront structures.
Major source of danger appear
ed to be two huge storage tanks,
200 yards west of the blazing
wharf, containing 10000 gallons
of gasoline and fuel oil. Firemen
were surrounding the tanks with
wall of water.
Origin of the fire had not been
determined. Unconfirmed reports
| it NAV have had an incendiary
origin were being investigated by
fire marshals.
Damage estimates last nignt
were vague, but some Waterfront
operators said loss may amount
to a quarter of million dollars
The Clyde-Mallory freight termi-
nal was in ruins and an adjoining
Messenger terminal suffered dam
AGE. A string of freight cars load
ed with merchandise on the siding
near the wharf were destroyed.
The Clyde-Mallory freighter,
Henry r. Mallory, narrowly es-
capped damage in the fire. Moored
at the freight terminal just after
loading was completed, the vessel
slipped its moorings and was
shunted out Of danger by harbor
tugs.
Another freighter, the Brazos,
also was in freight slip as the
fire broke out. II also slipped its
mooring and cleared the harbor
on its regular schedule without
being damaged.
The fire, which started shortly
after 8 p. m, was whipped by a
stiff onshore breeze. Firemen

.LANDON GETS
BIG OYATIONS
IN N. Y. STATE
That at Albany Declared
Greatest of His East
ern Invasion
FARMERS STATE NEED
FOR COOPERATION

ABOARD LANDON TRAIN,
EN- ROUTE TO TOPEKA, Sept.
IS. WP).-The most tumultuous
Republican demonstrations of the
1886 campaign echoed across New
York state last night as Gov. ALI
NJ. Landon concluded his second
invasion of the East.
Heading homeward from the
scene of Names weathervane
election, the Kansas governor ran
into some of the greatest crowds
of his rear-platform campaign as
he cut across the heart of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's home state-a So
called doubtful" safe with its
prize bloc of At electoral votes.
The need for an aggressive flood
control program, coupled with soil
conservation to supply genuine"
instead of "makeshift jobs" was
the burden of the talks Landon
made to the crowds in New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts as he
struck through the region damaged
by last springs torrents and sped
on into New York state, where
flood control also has been para
mount problem.
But it was the Republican presi-
dental candidate that the throngs
had come to see as the "sunt1oWGr
special" paused in Schenectady,
Albany, Utica and rolled on to
Syracuse and Rochester.
When they saw him stepping
out to the rear platform, or push
ing his way behind a struggling
police wedge to the station plat
form, they roared a cheer that
drowned out brass bands and rat
tied the loud speakers on the plat
form.
The famous Crock Chalk, Jay
hawk" yell of Kansas University
brought wide grin to Governor
Landon's face at Schenectady. He
turned TO wave to the little group
that held aloft a "Kansas Club"
banner.
At Albany and Schenectady the
crowds stood far below the over
head platforms and waved hun
dreds of flags, blacards and ban
ners as the nominee stood at the
railing of the elevated track, wav-
ing.
The crowds that greeted Gov.
Landon at such cities as Albany
were described by some veteran
New York political correspondents
as comparable to those that cheer
ed Alfred E. Smith at the height
of his popularity. Upstate New
York is normally considered Re-
publican territory, but Albany has
been known as a Democratic-dom-
, mated city. The crowd that greet
ed him there was the mlghtlest
gathering anywhere welcoming
him on his eastern invasion.
The New York state farm lead
ers who conferred with Landon
aboard his train presented, at his
request, a program of suggestions
as to their views on the agrlcul-
tural problem, which the nominee
will discuss on his next midwes-
tern tour.
