Tribute to Muskie
"Gov. Edmund S. Muskie has
proved himself to be an able and
dedicated public servant. His re-
election proves that the kind Of
good government he has given
the people of Maine is the best
brand of politics. The people Of
Maine. regardless Of party, have
put their stamp of approval upon
the personal integrity and public
service of Gov. Muskie. State
Chairman Frank Coffin and all
of our Democratic candidates
and leaders deserve the warm
thanks of the whole party for
demonstrating to us all how we
can win in November.
I'm 1852, the Democratic Party
lost the governorship of Maine
by $4,000 votes and it lost the
presidential election in that state
by 117,000 votes. In 1856, the
Democratic Party won the gov
ernorship by about $4,000 votes.
The significance of these figures
needs no application.
1.-THE Democratic Party is on
the way to victory in November.
The results Of the congressional
contests are particularly impress
Sive. A far smaller Democratic
trend in the so-called swing dis

A White House visitor quoted
President Eisenhower as saying
yesterday he is worried" that
the Democrats will get out q
bigger vote than the Republicans
for the November 6 election.
Another visitor reported the
President said he would rather
have someone vote against me

The first expression of presi-

is what the three congressional
races involved, the combined
vote for the Republicans in three
districts exceeded the combined
Democratic vote by about 1900.
This indicates that Maine will be
in the Republican column in the
November election.
Information reaching us in
the past few days indicates the
CIO-PAC pulled a sleeper in
Maine with an about last-min-
ute drive to register their sup
porters and turn out the vote.
The drive was well financed with
CIOPAC money.
"War Chest" Charged
1.-THE Boston Herald reported
on September 3 that Dennis
Blais. Maine CIO chief, who is a
graduate of the national CIO
Political Action School, had
raised a war chest from local

that Mr.. Blais was unable to esti-
mate the amount Of funds the
CIO had thrown into the fight.

While the Republican chair
man made no reference to the
party situation in Maine, politi-
cal observers there and in Mas
sachusetts have pointed out that
the g. o. P. has been torn by
fractional differences in recent
years. In addition, it is said. the
Republican organization has not
been as strong as it should be. In
consequence, Gov. Muskie has
been able to win to him many
Republican voters and inde-

has been referred to as Dem

The Democratic campaign,
aided strongly by the CIO Politi-

drivine and effective. This
showed up not only in the vic
tory of Gov. Muskie, but also in
the congressional elections. In

also was his opponent.
In the second district Mr..
Coffin defeated State Senator
James L. Reid, Republican, 55,-
425 to 1880 for the seat from
which Representative Charles p.
Nelson, Republican, is retiring.
Mr.. Coffin got 81 per cent, COM
pared to Mr.. Nelson's 66.2 in the
presidential year of 1852.
Mr.. McIntire's percentage was
down to so. in defeating Demo-
Icrat Kenneth B. Goliath, whom
he also beat in 1854. The totals:
Mr.. McIntire. 1898, and Mr..
Goliath, 28,39O, with rs tiny,
scattered precincts still out. The
potato farmer Congressman had
|76.2 per cent in 1852.
The election figures showed
that Gov. Muskie got even more
Republican support this time
than in 1854. At that time-and
there are no subsequent official
figures available - there were
only $4,000 enrolled Democrats
in Maine. Independents out
numbered them by 10000 and
there were 100000 enrolled Re-
lpublicans. 4

gan was " One Good Term De-

Three Reasons Cited
To Richard j. Dubord, Demo-
cratic national committeeman
from Maine. there were three
principal reasons why Gov.
Muskie's victory margin was
more than doubled this year.
He listed them in this order:
Gov. Muskie's conduct in Office;
an influx of qualified and re-
|spected" Democratic candidates
at lower levels, and organization
by city and town committees.
