"The most significant fact in the recent Maine election was the stay at-home vote cast by thousands of old-line Democrats.
 Democrats in Maine are neces- sarily hardy lot and not affected by bad weather or poor prospects of success. They are inured to de- feat. They refused, however, this year to turn out.
 "The most probable explana ton seems to be their refusal to endorse 8 third term with which the candi- dacy of my opponent was very def- initely tied up.
 There was also a good deal of bitterness among many old-line Democrats at the treatment accord ed Jim Farley at Chicago. Loyalty is quality that is more honored by old-time Democrats than by New Dealers.
 Service men also resented the cavalier fashion in which Paul Mo- Mutt was pushed aside at Chicago. when obviously great number at the convention were anxious to &C., cord recognition to either Farley or McNutt."

 Poor Frrnce reveals the fate of nations that funk this test" Aerial RI}fxkrio0
 within three years the present Administration proposed to limit naval aircraft to 5000, when even England considered 12,000 requisite for navy of our size.
 "Only a militant Republican mil nority, under the leadership of Joe Martin, struck of the shackles on our air force that the Admiinistra- tion sought to impose.
 Even then, however, the Admin istration refused to build the air. craft that were authorized by the Congress.
 Then came the aerial Blitzkrieg over Poland and it was evident that no defense was adequate that did not include mastery of the air. A Second-best air force was as useless as one that was only on order
 "Yet last June, with Holland and Belgium overrun and France about | to fall, this Administration pro- posed to adjourn the Congress. The President assured the country that | there was no reason of nation de- fense that required the Congress to stay in session.
 "Joe Martin took issue and in- sisted that Congress continue on the job.
 Tn these three months Congress has provided for $S,000, ,000, 900 re- armament program, & two-ocean navy, the training fo the men with out which the machines would be but sorry joke, and is now mov- ing to meet the menace of further disruption of our economy if our national finances are not soon put | in order.
 '"This record reveals in glittering | contrast the wisdom of patriotic | purpose that guided Republican | leadership ir keeping Congress on the job.
 'The battle of America will be won by putting in positions of final authority men with the organizing | ability that has distinguished Amer ica among the nations of the earth.
 Democracy need not be impotent before the totalitarian threat. Amer lea has the national resources and the organizing and inventive genius |

 MT. Brewster said, in part:
 "The Maine majorities of last week very definitely indicate 8 vic- tory for Wendell Willkie.
 Over 56 Per Cent.
