One Pension Plan Backer Is Close
in Congress Race.

One Pension Plan Backer Is Close
in Congress Race.
~ the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, September 10
Regular Republican and Democratic
votes smothered the hopes today of
all except one of the Townsend and
Coughlin-supported candidates who
sought l3 Of New York States con-
gressional nominations in the Fall
primary. But one contest was so close
that a backer of the s200-a-month
pension plan demanded a recount.
He was Emmet j. Larkin, who, on
the basis OF unofhcial returns, lost by
242 votes out Of 1852 to John L.
Boyer. organization Democrat, in q
congressional fight in the fortieth
(Erie-Niagara) district.
Larkin contended ballots thrown out
by the tellers as improperly marked
might change the result.
Meanwhile New York's Democratic
Governor, Herbert H. Lehman, sent q
telegram of congratulation and pledged
ms support to Assemblyman Saul 8.
Streit. Tammany Hall candidate who
defeated the Governors choice for re-
nomination In q Democratic contest
for the New York City Court of Cen
eral Sessions.
Il shall, Of course, support your elec-
tion," Lehman wired STREET. NV
opinion of your high qualifications has
been stated on other occasions"
Tammany designated STREET for the
judgeship after rejecting the Cover
nor's own appointee, Jonah H. Gold
stein. The latter ran independently.
Another Townsendite who made a
close run before being counted out was
Clare Barnes, opponent Of Representa-
tive Daniel A. Reed, veteran Dunkirk
Republican, in the forty-third con.
gressional district.

congratulations to Arthur E. SeweIl,
chairman Of the Maine Republican
State Committee at Portland.
Please extend to the successful Re-
publican candidate for all ofices in
your election yesterday my heartiest
congratulations on their significant
victories in Maine" the message said.
Inelr election was something more
than mere partisan success. Maine
has proved that the people of this
country are aroused to their danger
and determined to preserve their sys-
tenn OF government and of life"
Fort Madison was the only Iowa
stop. A throng there cheered when
the Governor said, mo people have
loved their independence and their
self-sufficiency more than you Iowans.
That is the reason you have not
taken kindly to Federal interference
with your lives" Landon said. Your
rich lands are capable of producing
much more than they have been per-
mitted to. Why shouldn't they have
q chance to? And why have the mar
kets been thrown away for even the
present crop?
why should foreign grains be
coming in for processing in Iowa
mills? Why should meats from other
nations be on the shelves of your
stores? Why should imported dairy
products be competing with your
own? Why should your poultrymen
be forced into direct competition with
those in other lands?
There is no need for me to sug-
gest the answers to those questions.
You know it from your own exper-
fence. I think you have the same
spirit the people Of Maine showed
yesterday in repudiating Federal
waste and extravagance, and de-
manding that their system Of gov
ernment be saved"

said today he was convinced there
is at least prima facie case of
violation of the Federal election
laws" in Maine and declared he
would ask for a recount in Mon
days senatorial election.

NEW YORK, September l6.-Gov
Louis j. Brann of Maine, defeated in
Mondays senatorial election, con-
ferred today with Democratic leaders
to decide whether the Governor would
seek a recount in Maine and file a
contest before the Senate Committee

The Governor would not discuss on
what basis he would seek a recount,
referring all questions in this regard
to Senator Joseph Guffey of Pennsyl-
vania, chairman of the Democratic
Senatorial Committee, with whom he
went over the election in detail.
"On the basis OF what I have learn
ed so far" Guffey said, Il should say
that We shall not only seek a recount,
but file contest in the Senate. How
ever, We will come to a definite deci-
sion later today"
Gov. Brann placed his services for
the campaign at the disposal of Chair

The Governor has assured me he
will speak for the Presidents re-elec-
ton not only in Maine, but in other
parts of the country"
Commenting upon the Maine elec-
tion. Gov. Brann said:
Il should think the result would
be favorable for President Roosevelt,
for the reason that the entire drive
was made against me. 1t was a CAM
paign utilized against me in every
respect.
Despite all the efforts made against
me. which included speeches in Maine
by party leaders from Gov. Landon
on down, the returns indicated I
