OMAHA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1924. *' TWO CENTS* -' H i Pattangall May Win at Maine Polls Democratic Nominee Is Con ceded Good Chance in Gub ernatrial Race—State Poor Barometer. Klan Is Campaign Issue By JOHN -T. LAMBERT, rnimaal Service Staff rorrceitondrnt. Portland, Me., Sept. 7.—William R. Pattangall has a better chance of being elected governor of Maine than any democrat since the civil war. That observation was made generally by Influential democrats here tonight on the eve of the election Monday, which holds the interest of the entire country. The republican leaders agreed prlvatel ywith it. Pattangall said tonight: "I shall win by 10,000." The supporters of Senator Ralph O. Brewster said, "it will be close, but Brewster may come through.” Maine has had but two democratic governors since Lincoln crystallized the great anti-slavery sentiment Frederick W. Plaisted was elected governor in 1910 by 7,500. Oakley Curtis was elected in 1919 by 3,500. In both years there was serious splits within the G. O. P. Pattangall has • divided the party this year on the Ku Klux Klan. Governor Percival P. Baxter defeated Pattangall two years ago by about 27,000. The nor mal republican majority is estimated at 25,000 This indicates the tremen dous handicap which Pattangall has to overcome. Says Klan Only Issue. Pattangall speaking in every city and town and practically every ham let in the state, has declared that Ihe klan is the only issue. “A vote for Brewster is a vote for the klan," he insists. He ha* talked klan and klan only.a Not another state issue has been discussed by him. N°t a national topic has been thrown into ihe arena by him. The name of John W. Davis has scarcely been nventioned. Even Senator Under- | M wood, one of the very few democrat* of national reputation who have come i into the state for the campaign, con- I fined himself to an attack upon klan I domination. He made only a casual , and passing reference to Davis. Pattangall estimated there are 20,- ' 000 klansmen In the state. He fig- I ures that 3.000 of them are demo- i crats who will vote for Brewster. ; Against that loss, he expects a net gain of thousands of republicans who "moved by a spirit of toleration" and political liberty will vote for him In order to tell the remainder of the na tion that "Maine will stay In the Union and not join the Invisible em "I wilpire.” Experts G. O. P. Support. "I will be elected." Pattangall said I tonight, "largely berause of the fact j that thousands of republicans through the state will give me their , support.” Maine will elect a United States senator, four congressmen and state and county officers tomorrow, but a final drive made tonight by the democratic state committee to put J’attangall over would cause the un informed to assume that the only contest Is for governor. Republican an ddemocratlc leaders privately admit that if ITesident < Vdldgo were the Issue the demo crats would be buried here tomor row, that the republican candidates for United States senator anil con gressmen will win with comparative ease, and that the democrats are bending their entire energies to elect ~ I’attangall. ^ All admit that tomorrow’s Maine election. Instead of being a barometer of the national election In November, will Indicate only whether Pattengill has been able to arouse the voters to the belief that a klan menace ex lsts in this state.

To Carry on Fight in West By !SE.\RS TAYLOR. Universal Service Stuff C'orrenpondrnt. On Board the Davis Special En Route to Denver, Sept. 7.—John W. Davis, democratic presidential candi date, was speeding westward tonight confident that hie first appeal to the farmer vote, delivered In Omaha yes terday, had been well received. The candidate spent Sunday in Lincoln, visiting Governor Bryan, his running mate on the democratic ticket, and conferring with party leaders. The special train, which is carrying the party west, arrived in Lincoln in the early morning hours and was switched on a siding. Davis slept until nearly 10 this morning, when Governor Bryan called for him and accompanied him to the First Presbyterian church of Lincoln. Later, the nominee was the guest of Governor Bryan at luncheon, where they discussed the political outlook with Huston Thompson, of Denver, a member of the federal trade commission. Thompson stop ped In Lincoln on his way east in order to confer with the nominee with regard to the speech on conser vation and reclamation which Davis will deliver In Denver, September 11. To Attack Dawes Again. In Lincoln the candidate heard optimlstio reports of the reaction to hla Omaha address on agriculture. Democratic leaders told him that his attack on the Dawes proposal to sus pend reclamation and Irrigation projects In order to stop over pro duction of farm products had partic ularly pleased the farmers of this section. They expressed the opinion that a large majority of normally republican farmer votes would be divided be tween Iai Follette and Davis as a result of Dawes' speech, which he delivered In Lincoln August They pointed out that If the Dawes pro- j posal were put Into effect thousands , of land holders on reclamation proj-1 eet» would be deprived of their liv ing and that consequently they woifld not vote for the Cooiulge Dawes ticket. Accordingly Davis is planning on ; turning hi* guns on General Dawes and his agricultural plan at every opportunity while he is In the west, j Whether tho votes the Davis advisers declare Dawes has lost will go to Iai Follette or Davie however Is the j question which is now puzzling west ern democratic leaders They admit that a large percentage of the farm era in this area, are not considering j Issues of the campaign, but will vote for the progressive ticket merely "to register a kick." At any rate, Davis: Is determined to make the most vig orous fight of his career while he is j In the west. In Denver Today. And the democratic candidate Is undoubtedly ''warming up." Thus* j who have heard all of his campaign | speeohea since the nomination were j surprised at the vigor and "punch'' j which he put into his remarks at j Omaha last night. He delivered a prepared speech, but time and time again after he got veil into It he de parted from the text and Injected re marks that had the force of spon tanelty In them, and "brought down the house." The two largess ova tions he received during the address were after he had mada extemporan eous remarks, such ee referring to President Omlftlge ao a "pictorial farmer.” After he has deliver*! his "key note" speeches on each of the issues of the campnltn he will undoubtedly deliver only extemporaneous ad dresses. His speeches now are near ly all prepared because they receive wider and more acrurat publicity In that way, and lecause he Is not yet sure of himself as a "stump speak ar." The Davis aprrial left Lincoln thte j afternoon for Denver, where it la scheduled to arrive at ! tomorrow Homing.
