BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

On the heels Of normal Repub-
lican victory in Maine, after six
abnormal years, primary results
in five States showed additional
evidence today that the New Deals
high tide of popularity, unbroken
through 1880, 1882 and 1884, has
begun to recede.
If the Maine election, straw
votes, and the primary voting in
these widely scattered States can
be taken as a criterion, the Novenl-
Der election will witness the coun-
try approaching, if not reaching,
a state of what Warren G. Hard
ing used to call political normalcy.
Whether the tide will attain pro
portions sufficient to wash out the
New Deal is something else again.
Victory in Air
The Republicans are now talk
ing Of victory in November with
some semblance of sincerity,
whereas some weeks ago they
were simply talking hopefully.
Maine was a powerful tonic.
Tuesdays primaries showed
these results:
Michigan-The total Republi-
can vote far exceeded the Demo
cratic vote in this important
State, which has 10 electoral
votes.
Senator James Couzens, for IA
years in Washington, who recently
came out flat-footedly for PreSi-
dent Roosevelt's reelection, was
defeated for denomination on the
Republican ticket by former Gov
ernor WILDER M. Brucker, ardent
anti.New Dealer.
Some SOlace Seen
At that, however. the Demo
Gratis found some solace in the
fact that CouzenS polled better
than one vote to Brucker's two in
the Republican primary, which
under the circumstances the
Democrats think is remarkable.
Massachusetts - The total
vote of each party in the Bay
State was approximately the

stripped the Republicans, the
ratio being about 5 to 3.
Townsend Rebuke
New York-With little at
stake save congressional nomina-
tons, the outstanding feature Of
the New York primary was the
repulse Of Townsend-backed can
didates everywhere. The regular
nominees in each party, with few
exceptions, had little difficulty in
gaining nominations.
In all the primaries, the Town
send and Lemke-backed candi-
dates Jared poorly, in contrast to
the defiant boast Of DR.. Town
send some months ago that his
forces would control the new
Seventy-fifth Congress.
Yesterdays primaries were the
last of the political season, and
from now on everything will con-
centrate upon November.
Governor ALI M. Landon, the
Republican nominee, will concen-
trate his activities in the Middle
West, which is vital to his can
didacy, with another Eastern trip
projected for late october.
President Roosevelt's future
plans are tentative. He goes to
Schenectady, N. Y, the last Of
this month to address the Demo
cratic State convention.

same, being separated only by q
few thousand.
Henry Cabot Lodge, grandson
Of the old-time Senator, won the
Republican senatorial nomination
rather easily, while the Demo
cratic nomination went to Cover
nor James M. Curley, who has a
bitter party fight on his hands
in November.
Moses TrOunced
New Hampshire - Ex-senator
George H. Moses, a Sharp-tongued
Republican Old Guardsman of
the old school, was Soundly de-
feated in a comeback attempt by
Governor H. Styles Bridges. 80
years old, representative of the
new" Republican party. Here,
as in Michigan, the Republican
vote far exceeded the Democratic
vote, although there was little re-
markable in that, as New Hamp-
shire is another normally Repub-
lican State, one of the six to 90
for Hoover in 80.
Wisconsin-With less than half
the districts reported, the Repub-
leans total vote was running
ahead Of their two rivals, the
La Toilette progressives and the
Democrats. However, the com.
blned returns of the progressives
and the Democrats far out.

FATE OF NATION
ISAT STAKE,
SAYSKN0X

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 16
QN.SO.-A grim warning that
"there are bigger issues at STAKE
than the completion of Grand
Coulee Dam" had been left with
washington voters today by Col
Frank Knox, Republican vice
presidential nominee. -
In q fiery address here laS'
night, Colonel Knox placed the
huge water project ION its own
merits" and charged that even
with its help the people here Will
be left poverty-stricken with the
rest of the country If the present
Administration if not voted out
Of office in November. He said:
"I am more concerned with
the future of the American
people than anything else.
What is at stake in this cleo
>tiOn? What have you people
of Washington got at stake?
Is it the completion Of the
Grand COulee Dam? Is 1t an
other reciprocal tariff treaty
letting in Canadian cattle? Is
it . few more jobs for deServ-
ing Democrats? Is 1t more
bOOndOggling?
"There is a bigger issue at
stake. The stake in this cleo
ton is the kind of government
You will live under for the next
four years."
In regard to financing the dam,
Colonel Knox repeated his Sugges
ton Of a few months ago that 1t
be carried on by local financing
and that if it proves Of national
worth Federal assistance will be
forthcoming.
The nominee unleaShed broad.
side at the Roosevelt policies, and
outlined list of charges of waste
against the Administration. Con
GLIDING, he said:
"And now you are asked to
give a blank check to this Ad-
ministratiOn after this record.
I would advise you to consider
what this means. Many men
have tried in vain to explain the
present Government Of this cOun-
try. Some have thought 1t is
aiming at a Communist state.
There is indication Of this in
endless encrOachment Of Govern
ment on private enterprise.
"Others have thought it In
tends to set up a Fascist dicta-
torship. There is indication Of
this in the brutal coercion Of
Congress, the endless regimenta-
ton of business, the persistence
in following mistaken policies
after everybody from the Su-
preme Court to an S-year-Old
child knew they should be aban-
dOned."

THREE FACTORIES
 SHUT IN DANBURY

Danbury, Conn, Feb. 26-(UP)- The three factories of the George H. McLachlan Hat O., employing 300 workers, were ordered closed indefinitely today.
 It was the second major plant to suspend in as many days.
 McLachlan announced tersely "the closing is due to unsatisfactory union labor conditions" and refus- ed further comment.
 Yesterday the Hoyt Messenger company, employing l50 hands closed after officials were refused state police protection for strike breakers by the mayor. A walkout occurred last month over wage differences.
 The closing of both plants came as labor officials were preparing to negotiate for new wage scales, tc become effective May l. Orders at the McLachlan plant it was understood, have fallen of appreciably in the last two months.
 The factories affected by the Me- Lachlan closing order were the mems hats, women's hats and fur cutting companies, each separately operated.
 The McLachlan plant has been the scene of difficulties for the past several years, through strikes. Last year McLachlan threatened to move his plant to Massachusetts or Nor- walk, but the situation was smooth ed out through arbitration.

 to Negligence

Ten thousand dollars damages are claimed in a suit which went on trial this afternoon in the superior court before Judge Frank P. Mo- Evoy and a jury. The action is that of William Murray, administrator Of the estate of the late Henry Murray, against the Standard oil company of New York.
 According to the complaint, the plaintiffs intestate was fatally in- jured in the defendants gasoline sta- tion at the corner of North Main and Elizabeth streets on March 27th, 1884. Attorney William K. Lawlor appears for Murray. The Standard oil company is represented by At torney David E. Fitzgerald of New Haven.
 The deceased, Henry Murray, was invited on to the gas station prop erty on May 27th, 1894, according to the complaint, and was seated for a time in an oil house, part of the equipment of which was a greasing pit several feet in depth. In arising from the chair Henry fell into the pit and sustained 1n- juries which resulted in his death June 3rd 1894.

YOUR INCOME TAX
No. %
No. Z2 DEDUCTION FOR INTEREST

DEDUCTION FOR INTEREST
 Amounts paid or accrued within the taxable year 1885 as interest on indebtedness are deductible, with certain exceptions. from gross irl- come in determining net income. Such items include interest on bor- rowed money to defray personal expenses, and on money borrowed for the purchase of real or person. al property. If a person owes money on a lien or mortgage note on his home, the amount of the in- terest may be deducted. Indebted. ness. however, need not be evidnced by lin, judgment. or mortgag to make the interest on 1t deductible. Frequently indebtedness is evi- denced only by note.
 Interest paid on indebtedness in. cured in the purchase of obliga- tions (other than obligations of the United States issued after Septeill. Der 24, 1917, and originally sub. scribed for by the taXpayer). the in. terest upon which is wholly exempt from Federal income tax. IS not de- ductible. Interest paid on loans or, life insurance policies is dcductiblc provided the amount of the loan Is not used for the purposes previous ly referred to in this paragraph.
 Interest paid on behalf of a friend or relative where there is no legal obligation on the part of the payor Is not deductible. Tn such cases the amount is the same as 3 gift.
 As interest paid is deductible, so interest received is taxable. All such amounts, including interest received on bank and savings deposits. must be included in the taxpayers re- turn of gross income.

Washington, Feb. B. (UP) - President Roosevelt warned con- gresS today that he was embarked on an active campaign to hold gov- ernment costs as closely as possible to budget estimates. The warning was a message vetoing $5O,000,- 900 crop loan bill on the grounds that 1t was not provided for in budget plans and carried no re- venue-raising clause. MT. Roose- velt's veto was sent to congress as the White House was believed conn., pleting plans for the expected $500,- 900, 900 tax measure intended in- directly to cover the approximate costs of the new farm bill.

 Meanwhile, emphasizing the drive for governmental economy, com- mittee of five senators headed by Sen. Harry F. Byrd, d., Va, was appointed to investigate the cost of federal government with a view to effecting substantantial savings in government operation. Vice-Presi- dent John N.
