EARLE CAUTIONS VOTERS OF MAINE Tells Rally No Voter Can Afford to Vote G. O. P. To Return Hooverism BATH, Sept. 8 (IP) Pennsyl vania's New Deal governor, George H.

Earle, said tonight "no voter of this state who does not wish to re turn tc the chaos of Hooverism can afford to cast a Republican ballot this year." He came to Maine to assist in the Democratic drive to win the state elections next Monday. The balloting, he said in an address before a Democratic rally, is "a challenge to Roosevelt democ racy, and the New Deal has ac cepted the challenge." "We have heard much already in this campaign of patriotism and Americanism," Governor Earle said "I want to ask one question is it patriotic to give support to a weak and bewildered Presidential candi date, whose policies are the policies of Hoover and Wall Street? I can not believe it. I believe a patriotic voter will always give his allegiance to the strongest and best candi date, regardless of party." The Pennsylvania chief executive said "some of you may feel that candidate Landon may yet demonstrate those qualities of decisive leadership that the. President's job requires. Cites Specific Promise "Let me remind you that so far, in all his speeches, he has made only one important specific promise.

He pledges himself to repeal the tax on corporation surpluses. That means he would rather give corporation earnings to insiders, for their private use in ringing the stock market and profiting at the expense of their stockholders, than he would give those earnings to the stockholders. The use of corporation reserves for stock rigging is on of tho oldest and most profit aWe rackets in the investment business. We must keep in mind that the purpose of the surplus tax is to force corporation officials to play fair with their stockholders. If they distribute company earnings to their stockholders no tax is levied.

"In other words, the first specific pledge of Mr. Landon Is a promise to encourage stock market speculation other people's money just as Wall Street used to do in the old Hoover days. I do not see how the citizens of Maine, or any other state, can afford to support Mr. Landon or any other candidates who represent such policies." Governor Earle, reviewing the policies of President Roosevelt, said he believed the New Deal "should be extended and amplified." INDEPENDENT G. G.

8 (IP) Norman Thcmas, formally opening his campaign as Socialist candidate for President tonight, centered his at tack upon labor's Non Partisan league for Roosevelt and appealed to all workers to vote the straight Socialist ticket. In a speech prepared as a criticism of labor movements in the present campaign, Thomas twice referred to the President as retaining that of fice for the next four years and predicted Landon would get fewer "organized labor" votes than Mr, Hoover in 1932.
