 Tn 1882 Roosevelt carried Maine, and Big Jim made a great ado about it.
 Tn the last two weeks, furious behlnd-the.scenes efforts have been made to bolster the democra- tic situation in Maine. One was aIa attempt to persuade Rep. Ed- ward Q. Moran, popular liberal, to reconsider his decision not to run again,

Hrann is now running for seria- tor on the democratic ticket, but declined to join the "slx governors" in their speeches upholdlng the New Deal.
 Now, with the state in grave danger of reverting to the repuh- lican column, Big Jim and the other democratic master minds arc pleading with Moran to lot bygones bo bygones and como to tho aid of the President.

 He ls Edward T. MulrOoney, who rose from harbor police- man to Police Commissioner tn New York, later chairman of the State Alcoholic Beverages Control Board, and now State Commissioners of Correction.
