•AS MAINE GOES, SO GOES NATION 1 BRANDED ERROR Result of Election Held in Pine Tree State Is No Barometer. Bv Srwtnanrr AlUnnrr WASHINGTON. Sept. 10.—That old political bromide, “As Maine rocs in September, so goes the nation In November,” at last has been exploded. Scientific analysis of every off'ear election in Maine since 1874 has established that the states political sentiment bears little relation to the country at large, and is no more reliable as a barometer of national opinion than would be early returns from Arkansas or Mississippi. The study was made by Professor Claude E. Robinson of Columbia university, under auspices of the Council for Research in the Social Sciences. Publication of the conclusions today is especially timely m view of the Maine election Monday. The old formula lias been repeated religiously by Republican managers for almost half a century. By studiously building up the now discredited slogan until it was accepted widely by the unthinking as a valid maxim of political conduct, the G. O. P. propagandists time and again turned the normal Republican victory in one of the safest Republican states in the Union into an "achievement” exerting marked influence upon national pyschology during the two pivotal campaign months following. Political observers have recognized for years that the Maine ballyhoo was a mere device of campaign propaganda, but never before has it been characterized as such by an impartial body of reputable social science scholars. “Tests of the Maine barometer, covering the period from 1874 to 1926,” the report says, “show that in off-year .congressional elections there is very little relationship between Republican strength registered at the Maine ballot box in September and the ability of the Republican party to gather votes throughout the nation in November. “Any forecast of the party complexion of the next house of representatives, based on the outcome of the Maine election Monday, Is likely to involve wide error.” PLANE.

Anna, according to unofficial records, won with j a mark of 1,308 hours, ten hours better than Naomi.

“For two years I suffered with irregularities and finally had to leave school. I got no relief until my married sister told me about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. After taking only two bottles I felt well. Since then I have been able to clerk in a store, on my feet all day and have suffered only once from my old trouble. I want other girls, especially store clerks, to know what it did for me.” —Dorothy L. Fairchild, 924 Walnut Street, Freeland, Pennsylvania.
