JOB
IS LIKELY FOR
HAMILTON
BY KENNETH T. DOWNS

CLEVELAND, June IL U.N.S).
John Daniel Miller Hamilton, the
1.-THE, red-haired young man with
the halfback'S build and the
matinee idols smile, today stands
a foremost power in the councils
of the Republican party.
Only A years old and virtually
unknown until the spectacular
rise of the Landon star, Hamilton
is almost certainly destined to be
elected chairman Of the Repub-
lican National Committee as the
result of the Kansas governors
nomination for President. He
will succeed Henry P. Fletcher,
Of the '7aning Old Guard.
Shares in Triumph
Hamilton climaxed his direction
Of Governor Landon'S pre-nomina-
ton campaign last night with his
brilliant nomination address. 1t
was the first time his unusual per
Sonality had occupied the spotlight
at convention hall and he shared
the triumph of his fellow Kansan.
The vast audience of 10000 in
terrupted him with a 25-mmute
demonstration at his first mention
of Governor Landon's name. When
he finished his address there was
another roaring ovation.
He spoke only a few minutes
before he presented the governors
name. He said:
Fully conscious of the duties
and obligations conceive to be
mine as q delegate to this con-
ventiOn, I give you the name of
a Republican governor from a
Republican State-Alfred NJ.
LandOn, of Kansas"
It was almost half an hour be-
fore the thunder of cheers died
out Of the great hall sufficiently
to permit him to continue.

contracting on the new Ft. Yuma
Indian hospital, were fined 500
each by Judge T. E. White of the
Winterhaven justice court Tuesday

time of discharging an employe and
for violation of the semi-monthly
payday law.
Each of the defendants was
fined $50 on each of the two
charges, with an additional SIS fine
in each case suspended on the con-
dition Scharp and Staley comply
with the labor laws, Deputy Labor
Commissioner John R. Lester said

to him. Repeated demands failed
to bring him the wages due him
after his discharge, he declared.

turn them to the signers. The
stubs are free admission tickets to
the theatre. a special show being
the grand finale of the occasion.
The sponsors charter the show
house at a nominal cost.

BEHIND THE SCENES IN THE
 CAMPAIGN
BY RODNEY BUTCHER Waterbury Democrat Washington
 Correspondent
Republican Optimism Scars in Maine; Democrats Bat tie Hard to Offset Heavy Odds.

Portland, Me, Sept. 3.-If the na- ton goes ss Maine goes this year, it's going to be just too bad for the New Deal.
 Most democrats seem to expect defeat in the election of Sept. IA when the state chooses U. s. sem ator, Q governor, and three repre- sentatives. But they are fighting desperately to avert massacre.
 High commands of both parties have been working behind the scenes for months on Maine. This peculiar September election in Maine always creates excitement. If there's one thing on which Jim Farley and John Hamilton privately agree, it's the importance of the results on the psychology of a nation whose voters must choose between Landon and Roosevelt on Nov. 3.
 A huge republican victory would be exactly what the g.o.p. could use to wave before that large group Of voters and campaign contributors who always want to be with the winner.
 Not a Sure Gauge
 "As Maine goes, so goes the na- tion!" is 8 slogan rather than a truism. Maine has always gone re- publican in presidential years ex- cept in the Roosevelt-Taft split 1n 1912.
 Although Democrats have won the presidency five times since the Civil War, only one of those times had they won the preceding Sep tenlber election in Maine and that was in 1882, when Roosevelt lost the state to Hoover in the follow ing November just the same.
 Nevertheless, whenever there has been 8 very large September g.o.p. vote, the republican presidential candidate usually has carried the country.
 Polls indicate that Maine this year probably is more anti-New Deal than any other state, perhaps ex- cepting Vermont. Maine's frugal citizens are mortified by recent fed Neral spending and increase Of the national debt.
 Republicans whisper of 8 private statewide poll which gave Landon 35,e92 and Roosevelt 16,660, though they admit their state ticket wont do as well as that.
 Republican campaign artillery sent to the state or about to arrive includes Col. Frank Knox, ex-Sen- ator Edge of New Jersey, Congress man Hollister of Ohio, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Charles P. Taft.
 Democratic orators for Maine in- clude Governors EarlS of Pennsyl- vania, Curley of Massachusetts, ana McNutt of Indiana, and Senator wagner of New York, to say noth- ing of Roosevelt's visit.
