The Ballot Lineup

9 Republican U. S. Senator Wallace White is opposing Gov. Louis J. Brann, and Secretary of State LOUIS O. Barrows opposes Democratic Ma tianal Committeeman Harold F. Du- burd for the governorship. Demo- cratic Congressman Simon Hamlin is running against James c. Oliver in the first congressional district; democrat Ernest L. Mclean against republican Clyde H. Smith in the second district; and republican Con- eressman Ralph Brewster against Wallace H. Mabee in the third dis trict.
 Favored to win are White, Bar rows, Brewster, and Oliver, with a lone democrat, Mclean, being con- ceded good chance.
 A -Dubord victory, even by . small margin, would set most neu- tral political writers to predicting a national Roosevelt landslide in No- vemher.
 Hrann has been the administra- tion,s white hope" He is person. ally popular, personally anti-New Deal, good fellow, dapper but hard-boiled, with reputation as 8 yote-getter.
 His friends say Brann has ob- tained $150,0 100000 from the federal government for Maine in the last three years.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-03
Roth Candidates Popular

Although Brann's personal popu- Iarity is tremendous, he has always had to depend on republican votes and this year, since a party row over dismissal of the state NEG director, he hasn't had even his own minority party solidly behind him. White is also popular, an organization man who has been in Congress since 1917, and strong campaigner.
 Two years ago Brann. aided by the 'swet" issue, was reelected governor over a weak, aged OppO- nent. He has since lost the supp nnrt of several republican news paners, and ERA scandals have done him no good. The governor also has persistentIy sought re- movaI cf State WPA Administra- tor Albert Abrahamson, who has refused to play politics with re- lief and has been firmly backed by Harry Hopkins.
 Brann treats the New Deal as liability to his candidacy. But many republicans say they'd rather have a republican anti-New Dealer in Washington than democrat On the other hand, New Dealers sus- pect Brann as @ power trust" friend and reactionary.
 Some Cheer for Democrats
 on the other side of the picture, business is improving rapidly in Maine and potatoes are up from 50 ur 7S cents to $2 bilshel. Roose- velt'S assurance that he hoped to seq the Quoddy project continued has helped, along with resenting at reports the g.o.p. was ridiculing the nrOject over the country.

Travelling Light

Certain modern types Of travel
goods seemed to have been ex-
preSsly designed for the girl who
starts the day off with q pre-break-
fast dip, after dancing til the
crack o'dawn. If you are looking
for a wardrobe prescription for
your vacation, here is one which
you might take under advisement.
For general all round wear,
golf, motoring and what not, one
knit dress, the threepiecs type,
skirt, sleeveless sweater and
jacket. The jacket will do to slip
over your san-back linen or
tubbable silk, when the sun Is too
much for you or it is chilly. Next
comes Stacks or one Of the new
culotteS, whichever is the most be-
coming. Jersey is preferable, for
it does not wrinkle, and is neither
too warm nor too cool.
One turtle-necked sweater and
two or three polo shirts will do to
wear with the SlackS as well as
with linen jodhpurS If you ride.
We suggest jodhpurS as the low
boots take up no more room than
q pair Of shoes. If you add bath
ing suit and pair Of shorts, to
be worn with the polo shirts,
you're ready for any kind Of sports
workout.
For after sunset hours two chit
fon or net dinner frockS and a
lacy pastel knit will do wonders
when aided and abetted by moon
beams. Youth need no extra wrap,
for the soft woolly coat you wore
en- route with your knit dress is
formal enough for the country.
In addition to your jodhpurs,
boots, golf shoes, evening sandals
and low-heeled white sandals will
take care Of your feet. A seer
sucker robe is suggested, as it will
do for beach or boudoir. Half q
dozen changes Of lingerie, the same
in hose, four pajama suits, a soft
felt hat that doesn't mind the
rain, a Slicker, a couple dozen
handkerchiefs, two of your favorite
ScarfS, your cosmetics and you'll
have almost more than you need
for the average lake resort.
It may strain your credulity to
the breaking point, but neverthe-
less, there are single cases which
will carry this wardrobe without
benefit of presSing-among these
the Touroha.

the Indians and founded what was

New Woods
Beauty
Interiors
By JEAN GREEN

Many smart Washingtonians
are remodeling their homes
this summer. They are doing
it in the attractive plan where
only a small portion is paid
each month and full advantage
Is taken of low summer prices.
One construction company here
in Washington has found that
new plumbing is one Of the popu-
lar investments. This is done not
only with an eye to health and
convenience, but also to convert
two-story houses into duplex apart
mentS.
In many cases they are doing
marvellous things with the
screened.in porch. This room,
which is usually enjoyed only in
the summer, can be changed over
to a kitchen and bath. In this
way the second floor can be rented
as a complete apartment.
Summer the Time
other popular investments are
hardwood floors, insulating ma
terial and a new fireproof finish
over the exterior Of the frame
house, A new asbestos material is
used which looks like brick work
and is perfectly satisfactory.
Slightly more expensive is the
Stucco finish.
In Transforming homes into
more than one unit, it appears
that modern construction methods
make it possible to convert almost
any type room on any floor, into
a tile kitchen. On the porch q
wood floor inlaid over the con-
crete, then thing used on walls. In
another case the recreation room
in a washington home was trans
formed into a kitchen.
This summer has also been a
popular time to repair freplaces
and faulty flueS. There are Varl-
GUS causes for q smoking fire
place which an expert will be able
to locate for you. In some cases
the fireplace may be too shallow.
Ordinarily it should be Is to 20
inches deep. The size Of the tlue
may be too small for the size OF
the fireplace opening. In any
case, repairs now will help you en-
low a cheerful glowing fire on
somber October and November
days.

A girl Harriet had introduced

sat and said, "How do YOU SUP

Janet was wearing q lemon-col-
ored chiffon gown, with an intri-
cate Topped scarf that didn't look
quite as it should be. Toby made
suggestion, but it didn't seem
to help. They tried several other
ways until Miss Landers' assistant
showed them how the scarf was
supposed to be worn.
Janet picked up lemon-col-
Ored cart-wheel hat, then tilted it
on her head and disappeared
through the door as Carol Marsh
came flouncing in.
Carol was in white flannel, with
a touch of flame at the throat.
There was a coat to the dress and
she tossed it aside carelessly, so
lat the maid who was waiting
for it had to stoop to pick it up.

They went on, making plans for

was the reason he had come to
