Preparing for Duty

HARRISBURG, Pa. Sept. 3-The
quickening tempo Of national de-
tense set Pennsylvania anti-air-
craft gunners to winding up their
personal affairs today in prepara-
ton for extended active service,
while most of the States cavalry
men resigned themselves to becom-
ing monkey wrench soldiers.
Col. Charles c. Curtis and aides
of the 213th Coast Artillery laid
plans for mobilizing that regiment
and recruiting several hundred men
before responding to President
Roosevelt's call to active duty at
Virginia Beach, Va, September 16.
Besides increasing its strength
from the present 1,187 men to !, ,450,
the anti-aircraft unit must seek re-
placements for officers and men be-
meath the rank of captain who may
resign in order to assure continued
support to dependents. Some OF
the 18 additional officers authorized
may come from the ranks Of en-:
listed men who have qualified.

True, Britain's contribution"
wasn't made without a counterpart,
although it appears the offer Of,
bases had no strings attached, de-
spite the course today's exchange
took.
The British Admiralty had long
been urging Premier Churchill to,
try to induce this Government 10
sell or lend go destroyers TO the
British Navy. Whether these ships
were transferred to Canada. Aus
tralia or any other part of Britain
was immaterial. The Admiralty
didn't care about the modality OF
the transfer or title to the property.
1t Just wanted the use Of the de.
stroyers as soon as possible.
Some time ago it was believed that
the British government might
strike a bargain with Washington.
A quid-pro-quid affair-we give
you the bases, you give US the de.
stroyers.
But then Lord Lothian convinced
London that this would be a poor
policy and that it would be better
to leave the matter of the destroyers
entirely to the discretion Of the
United States.
So the swap idea apparently was
abandoned. only to be realized today.
probably to the surprise of many
British officials.

the old-time POEMS generally be-
lieved. Maine was one Of two States
which stuck to the G. o. p. in that
party's most disastrous year, 1896,
when ALI M. Landon, the presiden-
tial nominee, carried only Maine
and Vermont. The size Of the Re-
publican lead. however. will be
closely watched and efforts made to
show that the trend away from the
Roosevelt New Deal has increased
or that the President still retains
his grip on the voters.
The G. o. p. has. nominated Sums
ner Sewall for Governor and the
Democrats have offered Fulton j.
Redman as his opponent. Mr.. Sew
all Is Names only war ace. He is
credited with having brought down
seven German planes during the
World War. He has American Dis
tingutshed Service Cross, the Belgian
Order OF the Crown and the French
Medaille Militaire and the Croix de
Guerre. He still takes an interest
In flying and is a director in one
>f the big airplane companies.
Ship Building Family.
Mr.. Sewall is native OF Bath,
where the Sewalls have built ships
for generations. His first entry into
politics was to become an alderman
in that town. He is now president
Of the Maine Senate. He won the
gubernatorial nomination by q big
margin this year.
He Is a grandson Of the late Ar
thur Sewall, who was the Demo-
cratic nominee for Vice President
on the ticket with the late william
Jennings Bryan. This provides q
Democratic background for the Re-
publican nominee for Governor.
However, an uncle, the late Howard
Sewal, left the Democratic party
years ago. He had been appointed
by President Grover Cleveland Min
lister to Hawaii. When Mr. Cleve-
land ordered an American nag near
Hawaii hauled down, Mr.. Sewall
broke with the President and be.
came a Republican.
Eleven years ago Mr.. Sewall mar
ried Mrs. Helen Elena Evans, the
former Countess Makarovitch.
During this campaign he has
promised the voters lower costs OF
State government, better highways
and a cleanup of the financial
mess In the State House, involving
some Republican officials, one of
whom has been indicted, charged
with stealing $l57,OOO Of State funds.
Redman a News Columnist.
Mr.. Sewall's Democratic opponent
Redman, is lawyer and newspaper
columnist. He has hammered away

day in and day out at the Repubu-
cans and the financial mess at the
State House. promising to punish the
guilty and to clean up the Estate
House ring"
He has been a member OF the
State Legislature and has . law
office in Portland.
The senatorial contest brings to-
gether from opposing camps Repre-
sentative Brewster, former Repub-
lican Governor, and Louis j. Brann,
former Democratic Governor. Both
have tried for the Senate before
and failed, Brewster in Republican
primaries where he was defeated,
and Brann in the general election.
Both have regulations as vote
getters. Brann has been hailed as
the greatest Democratic vote-getter
and campaigner in years. Brewster
was credited with having been a Ku
Klux Klan candidate years ago when
that organization fourished in
Maine, as 1t did in a number of
other Northern and Midwestern
States.
Brewster defeated Gov. Barrows
In the Republican senatorial primary
by some 10000 votes. attacking Bar
rows for not maintaining a clean
government. Consequently, Gov
Barrows has no love for Brewster
and Is not helping him In the present
campaign. indeed. 1t is reported that
Barrows and his friends would rather
see Brann win the Senate seat. But
whether that be 50 or not, 1t will be
a miracle II Brann should win over
Brewster. Polls taken In Maine re-
Gently show that the Republicans are
far. far in the lead, and that Presi~
dent Roosevelt has lost ground there
as compared to 1885.
Democratic Chances Slim.
1t looks, too. as though the three
Republican candidates for the House
would win. In one district only, the
third. does the Democrat appear TO
have any chance. There Thomas
Curran Of Bangor, shoe dealer, is
opposing Frank Fellows, Republican.
That is the district which Mr..
Brewster has represented for the
last six years. And 1t has been
strongly Republican. So the odds
appear still to be with the Repub-
lican, Fellows. Representative Oliver,
Republican, will be reelected in the
first district, 1t is freely predicted,
and 50 will Mrs. Margaret Case
Smith, Republican. in the second.
For years 1t has been the custom
to refer to Maine as the political
barometer for the country. with its
State election held two months in
advance Of the national election.
Maine will vote, as will all other
States. for President and Vice presi-
rent on November 5 this year. In
the past, however. Maine has fire.
quently failed to give the tip on for
the rest Of the country. Nothing
Is truer than that the results in
the Main election in 1886 failed to
indicate Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt has deter
mined to place Frank C. Walker, New
York lawyer and long time personal
friend in his cabinet as Postmaster
General. At one time. when it be-

whether he is getting or accepting
disinterested political advice these
days or whether he is still 0perat-
ing a one-man political mechanism
as he did before the third term nom
ination was made at Chicago. The
Democratic manager-who persona
fles candor in politics-Jim Farley
is no longer at the Presidents side,
and that's because Mr.. Farley, after
nearly eight years in the cabinet,
didn't believe that out of 10000
900 persons only one man could run
our Government.
