This year was no exception. Months ago Democratic Boss Farley began laying his plans for a Maine showing. Far & away his best bet was popular Democratic Governor Louis Jefferson Brann, elected in 1932 by a 2,300 plurality, re-elected in 1934 by a 23,000 majority.

Pleased, the delegates listened to greetings from Maine's Democratic Governor Louis Jefferson Brann, raised to the presidency their Vice President Clayton Rand of the Gulfport (Miss.) Guide, decided the best editorial page in their membership was that put out by Charles Lendrum Ryder of the Cobleskill (N. Y.)
