Disavows New Deal as Issue in Maine Continued From First Page lace H. White, "A vote for Brann is a vote for the New Deal." Just prior to coming to a torchlight parade and big Democratic rally in this city tonight, Maine's Democratic Governor, in the parlor of his executive mansion in Augusta, made the declaration that the interests of his State were alone concerned in his campaign. Wants "State Fight" Only "This is a State campaign," he said.

"The question is what we can do for Maine. The New Deal is not in the campaign. We are not electing a President. We will do that in November. We are electing State officials.

"Our opponents haven't talked at all about Maine. They have fought on one issue which has nothing to do with Maine." Believing they are safe in foreseeing success for their Gubernatorial candidate and their three nominees for seats in the House of Representatives, the local Republican leadership trained their whole fire on Governor Brann, seeking to invoke against him the very apparent opposition of "Down East" Maine to the New Deal. In a sense the election or defeat of Mr. Brann thus became a test of the extent of reaction against the Federal Administration. Republicans believed that if this reaction is great enough to overcome the popularity of the Governor and to defeat him, largely because his victory would be consolation to Democratic national headquarters, it would be indicative of rampant anti-New Deal sentiment throughout the Northeast.

Points to His Record It was in response to questions in an interview in the Governor's house, next to the State Capitol, that Mr. Brann insisted the issues of the campaign were State issues. As he has outlined them in his speeches, his record as State Executive, the improvement of Maine industries, the enhancement of the State's appeal as a vacation land and the need of a Democratic contact man to ease Maine's full share of Federal aid funds out of the national Treasury at Washington, are the principal issues. The Governor added he was happy Governor Landon was coming into the State. "I think it will help me," he said, but without explaining.

"I know he's going to get a good crowd when he arrives in Portland tomorrow and it's proper that he should. I am wiring him today to ask if I may pay my respects to him in a call. I shall be happy to do that if he wants it. He is entitled to every Assailed by Pattangall Within a mile of the executive mansion in Augusta was the centre of an influence which may checkmate the strategy of Governor Brann to hold on to Republican votes. Wearing a large sunflower Landon button on his lapel, the combative former chief justice of Maine, William R.

Pattangall, a lifelong Democrat who ran for Governor in 1924, declared that Mr. Brann must be beaten as an adjunct of the New Deal, who would play along with it if he won. Mr. Pattangall predicted that 000 to 15,000 Democrats would vote Republican in this election. Mr.

Brann, he felt, would lose many Republican votes given him two years ago when he was re-elected by 000 majority. FIREMEN'S LOTTERY GETS COURT REBUFF Seven members of the Franklin volunteer company of firemen in Chester were held in $1000 bail each yesterday as principals in- a $4500- a -week lottery.

Avenues Of Fashion with Laquit THE STUDENT GOES TO TOWN shown waving from the platform of his train to the crowd that saw to campaign in Maine. He will speak at Portland, tonight, LANDON TAKES FIGHT INTO HOOSIER STATE Continued From First Page top down through the ward and township committeemen. The Governor told the crowd at Fort Wayne that he was weighing every utterance in his own campaign and that he intended to keep his pledge. "It is easy enough to go out and promise this and that to cure all our economic ills in one fell swoop, but big talk is always easy," he said.

"To you and to me this is serious business. The kind of government that we are going to live under and to do business under, in our local communities, in our State and in our Nation, is always serious business. So I have weighed very carefully every word and every that I have made in this campaign. I shall continue to do so. To me the platform adopted at Cleveland is pact with the American people Ox which the Republican Party must make good.

Party platforms to me are not to be thrown away in the wastepaper basket after In High Spirits The Republican Presidential nominee was in high spirits today and also in good physical condition, which he was not when he invaded Pennsylvania and New York two weeks ago while still bothered by pleurisy. The speech, which he will make at Portland tomorrow night, is regarded by his advisers as of major importance in its content. They believe that if it is followed by Republican success in the Maine State election Monday the result will be to give a new impetus the Republican national campaign throughout the country. Before five or six thousand people at Gary this afternoon, Governor Landon promised to make militant campaign. "Glad to See You, Too" "I am delighted to see so many of you here this he said.

"I know you have come down to look me over. Well, that goes both ways. I am glad to see you, too. "I know it is not convenient for all of you to come out to Topeka to see me on my front porch, so I am glad to have this opportunity of visiting with you from my back porch, as it were. "This is going to be a front porch, a back porch and a fighting campaign, a fighting campaign for good government participated in by Republicans and Democrats and Independents.

"We want a government that will be just and honest, that will protect the average man in his economic rights and his opportunities. also a government not take too much out of his pocketbook. "We want to maintain the system of government under which this miraculous city of Gary sprang up in a few years from a sandy waste along the lake shore." Gives Five Rear-car Talks The Governor made much the same speech at Valparaiso, a few minutes laer, and at Plymouth and Warsaw. Crowds of from two to four thousands greeted him at each of these stops. This morning Governor Landon issued the following statement: "I am very glad to be on my way to contribute to the notable campaign, which I believe will end in the repudiation of the present National Administration by the voters of Maine next Monday.

I am confident that Maine, years past, will lead the way to a Republican Clothes appropriate within the confines of the classroom, the dormitory and the campus do not constitute a complete student wardrobe.

Meets Chicago Chieftains Governor Landon left the special train on which he traveled overnight from Topeka, at Halstead St.

Station, Chicago, at 10 o'clock this morning. He was met by George F. Harding, Republican National Committeeman for Illinois, and a group of department heads from Republican national headquarters. He motored directly to Mr. Harding's home on Lake Park ave.

He acknowledged their greeting with a genial wave, and stopped to shake hands with several young people. Mr. Harding escorted him into the museum adjoining the house.

Here, in the likeness of a medieval castle, is housed Mr. Harding's collection of armor, old musical instruments, ship's prows and paintings.
