Governor on Townsend old-age pen

The Democrats had rather hoped
Bubar would roll up more votes, be-
lieving he would cut into the Repub-
lican strength.
In the second congressional district

Rev. j. Clarence Leckemby, who was
also Republican, running as an
independent candidate for the House,

Oliver Wins by $4,000.
In the first congressional district
James c. Oliver, the Republican nomi-

won the party nomination in contest
with 10 other candidates. He was
elected yesterday by vote of more
than $4,000 to about $4,000 for Repre-

Wilson Carried 2 States in 1915.
When President Wilson was run
ming for reelection in 1916, Maine
in September elected a Republican
Governor by about $4,000 votes. That
was before the days of woman's suf-
frage. Double the vote and it gives
the Republican Governor of that year
a lead of $4,000. In that year, Wilson
carried only two States east of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio
Rivers. They were New Hampshire
and Ohio.

On the heels Of Gov. Landon's Sec

LIGHT WISCONSIN VOTE SEEN.
Gov. La Toilette Is Unopposed for
denomination.

MILWAUKEE,, September Is P1.-
The rarity Of Wisconsin primary elec-
tion without contest involving a
member of the politically potent La
Toilette family was presented today as
the voters chose party nominees for
Governor, 10 congressional seats, State
and county Offices.
A forecast of showers prompted OBJ
servers to predict a light vote.
Gov. Philip F. La Toilette was un-
opposed for denomination on the Pro-
gresSive ticket. Although State organl-
Zation-indorsed gubernatorial candi-
dates on the Democratic and Re
publican ballots had opposition, the
primary campaigns lacked the vigor
of other days when the La Toilette fol-
lowers battled regular Republicans for
nominations, prior to formation OF
the Progressive party in 1884.
Father Charles E. Coughlin's Ma
tional Union for Social Justice and
DR.. Frances E. Townsends old-age
pension followers faced their first test
of strength in the Wisconsin electorate
of approximately 100000
OF the seven Progressive and three
Democratic incumbent representatives,
only one Progressive and two Demo-
Gratis had opposition. Representative

Dental candidate, urged reelection of

race for Senator. Brann had said he
was not going to seek Office again.
The vote cast in the election yes
terday was a record, running well
over the 100000 mark. The previous
high vote was in the presidential elec-
ton of 1882, when Herbert Hoover
carried the State against Mr.. Roose-
welt by 166, 631 to 128,907-a total vote
Of 295,538 The Hoover victory came
in November, 1882, after the State
had gone Democratic in September of
that year.
Interest in the Maine election had
been whipped to white heat, as it was
the first real test of voting strength
this year between the New Deal and
the Republicans. To add to the ex-
citement Gov. Landon, the Republican
nominee, made an eleventh-hour foray
into the State and in a speech de-
clared that the country was looking
to Maine to say whether the New
Deal should be continued or thrown

VICTORY OF WHITE.
CLOSEST IN CAREER
Began in Washington at 22
as Clerk of Senate Com
merce Body.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated FIesS.
LEWISTON, Me, September IS
BY winning reelection over Gov. Louis
j. Brann, his fellow townsman, Sen
ator Wallace H. White, jr., today
won the closest fight Of his political
career.
The 59-year-old Republican Sen
ator, like his senior colleague, Sem
ator Frederick Hale, Republican, came
from family politically famed in this
State. His grandfather was United
States Senator William p. Frye.
In 1899, aged % and recently
graduated from Bowdoin College,
White went to Washington to become
clerk to the Senate Commerce Com
mittee, of which his grandfather was
chairman. He later became his
grandfather's secretary.
White returned to Lewiston in 1903
to practice law. There he remained,
making a few sorties into politics,
generally unsuccessful, until he was
elected to the House Of Representa-
tives in 1916.
One of his unsuccessful political
ventures was in 1915, when he lost
the mayoralty of Lewiston to his op-
ponent of yesterday. Brann.
Senator Frye's chief legislative con-
cern was the American merchant
marine, and when his grandson's voice
first was heard in Congress 1t, too,
voiced the cause of merchant ship
ping.
White spent seven terms in the
House, during which he fostered legis-
lation affecting merchant marine,
radio and fisheries. He played an i'm
portant role in the creation of the first
radio control act.
In 1880 White won election to the
Senate, where his knowledge of ship
ping, radio and fisheries won him
early recognition.
Modest and retiring, White always
was a reluctant speaker.
In his campaign the Senator
stressed the importance of Maine re-
pudiating, by Republican State elec-
ton victory, President Roosevelt and
his New Deal
He called the administration "one-
man-power" rule and charged that the
President was leading the Nation to-
ward dictatorship.
He was particularly caustic in ref
erences to the administrations recip-
rocal trade treaty with Canada. which
he said, worked "irreparable damage
to the markets served by our Maine
farmers, our fisheries and our lumber
operators"

SNAKE EXPERTS
TO VIE IN COURT
Defense Plans to Refute
Testimony of Torture in
Insurance Plot.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated PreSS
LOS ANGELES, July 1l.-A court
room battle between two rattlesnake
experts appeared likely today in the
trial of Robert S. James, accused Of
using poisonous snakes in a death
plot to collect his wife's insurance.
Eugene williams, deputy district at
torney, said he would have reptile
specialist ready to refute testimony
of a defense expert if he appears, as
announced, when court reconvenes
Monday.
The defense announced it would
call a witness to testify rattlesnakes
cannot live a year in captivity. At
the trial prosecutors exhibited two
rattlers they said James used to tor
ture his wife before drowning her last
August.
Williams said the expert for the
State, c. H. Scobie, who brought a
jar of reptiles to the district attor-
ney's Office yesterday, also would con-
tradict testimony on the suddenness
of rattlesnake's strike
James attorneys said they would
show, by thrusting an artificial foot
into a box with a rattler, that the
serpents are comparatively slow in
attacking. The State charged the
red-haired defendant forced his wifes
leg into box where a rattlesnake lay
coiled.
Naturally rattler may not strike
at an artificial foot Immediately"
Williams said. 1T has not the living
smell"
After long opposition by the de-
fense the State succeeded yesterday
in introducing as evidence a confess
sion James signed. His attorneys had
contended he was coerced and was
mentally irresponsible when he signed
it. The confession laid the principal
blame on Charles Hope, former sailor,
who has pleaded guilty of murder.
