THE POLITICAL MILL
New England Democrats Aim High
BY GOULD LINCOLN

ministration and the New
Deal.
The Republicans believe
they win elect q Governor
In Maine. now that they no
longer have 10 face the
popular Muskie. on the other
hand. they have q tough bat
tie 10 re-elect Representative
Hale In the first congressional
district. Mr.. Hale won In
1855 by only q whisper. no
close was the vote. At present
the Maine delegation In the
House consists Of two Re-
publicans and one Democrat.
The Maine elections, COM
ing early In experimentation
the last time - will be
watched carefully. as In the
past, for political trends"
In the old days. the say
ing was: "As Maine goes, so
goes the Nation" This. how
ever. has not been true In
recent years.
Republicans Hold Edge
II still remains true, how
ever, that Republicans out
number Democrats In the
Pine Tree State. II they do
not shift over or sit on their
hands. they can elect the
G. o. P. candidates. Senator
Payne was one of the recipi-
ents Of a vicuna coat and
hotel hospitality from Ber-
nard Goldfine. Boston indus
trialist. along with Sherman
Adams, assistant to PreSi-
dent Eisenhower. The DEM
ocrats are trying to make
this connection with Mr..
Goldflne an issue against
Senator Payne.
Here in Connecticut, the
Democrats believe not only
that they will re-elect Gov.
Ribicoff but that they will
elect Mr.. Dodd to the Senate,
and will make a dent in the
House delegation, now solidly
Republican. They are count
ing on regaining the Hartford
District, which they lost in
1856. They count, too, on
electing former Gov. Chester
Bowles, who is now a candi-
date for the House in the Sec
ond congressional district.
He will oppose Republican
Representative Seely-Brown.
Mr.. Bowles was elected
Governor in l948 but lost 10
Republican Gov. John Lodge
in 1850. Mr.. Lodge in turn,
lost to Gov. Ribicoff in 1854.
Mr.. Seely-Brown has five
times been elected in the I'd
district.
In Massachusetts, too, the
Democrats hope to take one
or two House seats from the
Republicans. Three sitting
Republican members declined
to stand for reelection, Rep
reSentatives Wigglesworth,
Nicholson and Heselton. The
Heselton district is the par
ticular target of the Demo-
Gratis. Mr.. HeSelton has q
strong following in the LIST
district, which he has rep-
resented for years. But with
out him on the ticket, the
district becomes extremely
doubtful.
The recession and unem-
ployment have hit New Eng
land, but hard times have
been spotty. Some areas
have not been distressed, but
have had good times. The
recession, however, remains
an important issue in the
campaign.

HARTFORD. Conn. Aug.
o.-Democrats In New Eng
lands six States this year are
going all out 10 make impor-
tant political gains and 10
break the Republican Party's
traditional hold. They are
encouraged by the fact they
now have four Governors IN
these States 10 two for the
Republicans. Democrats hold
the once In Connecticut.
Maine, Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island. The Repub-
lican Governors are In YER
mont and New Hampshire.
In their congressional dele
cations. however, the Repub-
licans still outnumber the
Democrats. There are nine
Republican Senators 10 three
Democratic. In the present
House Of Representatives.
New England Republicans
have Is members 10 10 for
the Democrats. The Demo-
Gratis are figuring on increas-
ing their representation ma
terially In both Houses Of
Congress In the coming cleo
tons. And particularly, they
hope TO enhance the chances
of having a New England
Democrat in the White House
in 1861 - Senator John F.
Kennedy Of Massachusetts,.
Since the Civil War, New
England's sole President of
the United States was a Re-
publican-the late President
Calvin Coolidge.
Many Contests
All six Of the New England
States will elect Governors
this year. Five Senators come
up for election, three Repub-
licans and two Democrats.
OF the three Republicans,
Senator Flanders Of Vermont
has declined to run, giving as
his reason his age and a de-
sire to retire from public life
Vermont has been a rock
ribbed Republican State since
Abraham Lincoln was in the
White House. 1t would be a
tremendous and unexpected
upset If Senator Flanders
should be succeeded by a
Democrat.
However, the Democrats
are going all out in their eff
fort to replace Republican
Senator Purtell of Connecti-
cut with his Democratic OPP
ponent, former Representa-
tive Thomas j. Dodd. Mr..
Dodd was defeated two years
ago by Republican Senator
Prescott Bush, but this year
he is given a real chance Of
winning election. Also, the
Democrats are hopeful they
can unseat Republican Sem
ator Payne of Maine, and put
in his place the youthful Gov.
MuSkie, who upset the G. o P.
in 1854 and again in 1856.
Senator Payne, who last
year announced he would
not be a candidate to sue
coed himself, reversed his
decision, having regained his
health, and is campaigning
hard. Senator Payne is a
former Governor. Also, re-
ports are that the Republic
cans who voted for Mr..
Muskie for Governor are not
going to support him for
Senator but will return to
their allegiance to the
@. o. P. Gov. Muskie was the
first Democratic Governor
since the early days of the

AESC Balance Above Year Ago

The Unemployment CompenSa- ton Fund balance as of July 3l, 1858 was $3,43O,OOO, according to Merrill F. Weir, Director of the Employment Security CommiS- sion. This increased balance, as compared to the balance of $140,- 900 on June 30, 1858, is due to con- tributions received during the month and to an additional loan of $3,0OO,0O0 which was secured from the Federal Government dur ing the month. The total amount owed to the Federal Government due to borrowing under the Reed Bill now stands at $8,265, ,0OO.
 During the month of July, 1858. $245,OO0 was paid out in benefits as compared to $398,OOO in June of this year and $147,OOO in July 1857. This continues the recent trend Wnlcn mas shown seasonal decline in unemployment benefit payments but also shows unem- ployment much higher than for the same month in previous years.
 In addition to benefits paid un- der the Alaska Employment Se- curity Act as listed above. the Commission also paid benefits under two other unemployment in- surance programs. During the month of July $55,OOO in unem- ployment insurance benefits was paid to persons formerly employ ed by the Federal Government and $5,0O0 was paid to unemploy- ed veterans. The total cost of pay ing benefits under these programs is paid by the Federal Govern mnt and such payments do not af- feet the Alaska fund.

had gone into the hands of the hospitals and the Red Cross, which represents a gold mine in a country of few resources and considerable poverty. The net re suit, of course, has been improved hospital facilities for the sick poor. and improved nurses train ing and housing.
 Three times a year the spotlight falls on Sweepstake Hall, in Ball. bridge. Dublin, three days prior to the race which will determine the big winners. In the Hall tic ketS from all over the world are placed in the famous Irish Sweep stake Drum, with it's 43 portholes through which six nurses draw the tickets on the horses in the 40 or more prize units." each representing $324,oo0.

Here There Everywhere

Did you ever win On an Irish Sweepstake ticket7 The majority of those who read this will prob ably have to answer in the mega tive.
 Fabulous sums such as $f35, ,OOO. and lesser amounts, have been won by the fortunate in the great, government controlled lottery, played by people from Cairo. Egypt, England. Canada and Alas Ia. Lives have been affected by this wheel of fortune that has dumped huge sums of money into the laps of average people. Since the start of the lotteries in 1880 and up to March, 1854, lucky win ners have received Sf97, ,OOO, 900. This represents 57% of the re- ceipts.
 During that time. $5i, ,o00, ,ooo

erfoils are drawn for each horse.
 Ultimate winners are determin- ed by the races in England, and a ticket on the winning horse is worth S135, ,O0O; second place $54,- 00O; third, $27,OOO. Drawers of other. horses as specified in the scheme divide sB1, 1000, and there are 70 cash prizes of $270 each, and 150 consolation prizes of $54 for each prize unit

 It has been mentioned as a means of making Alaska self-su- staining government-wise, simi- lar lottery be started her. This is a mild form of gambling compared to that advocated by others-that the new state be made into ''big- ger and better Nevada" It might be pointed out that lottery of this sort would have to be on large scale to do the new state any good. The biggest share, of course, goes to the winners. In the Irish Sweepstakes. the hospi- tals receive about 19% of the dol lar. and about 2Oos goes into pro- motors fees and expense.
 Criticism against the Sweep stakes is that they redistribute wealth, but don't produce wealth. The only answer to that by the Irish is that 7,6OO, ,OO0 from three draws reached the hospitals in 1855.
