WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. (AP)
President Hoover late today made
public a copy of ft telegram to Ev
erett Sanders, chairman of the Re
publican national committee, saying
that the Democratic success in the
Maine eelectlon "Imposes need for
renewed and stronger effort that the
people may fully understand the Is
sues at stake.
Sanders' telegram to the president
follows:
"The narrow margin of Democratic
success In the Maine gubernatorial
contest is plainly Insufficient to as
sure that state to the Democratic
presidential candidate eight weeks
hence, and I firmly expect you to
carry that state.
"I was, of course, disappointed in
the vote, but not greatly disturbed.
Since 1880 Maine has five times in
presidential years elected a governor,
state ticket and congressional delega
tion in September of opposite political
faith to the president elected sixty
days later. After the defeat of the
Republican candidate for governor in
Maine In September, 1880, the country
rallied to the Importance of national
issues and returned President Garfield
triumphantly in November, the state
of Maine reversing lta September posi
tion.
I have every confidence that his
tory will repeat Itself in November
in Maine and that throughout the
country the verdict of the people on
national issues will be overwhelmingly
in your favor."
