...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. Unfortunately, Governor Brann had never been a New Dealer, had fallen away still further when Maine's Federal patronage was taken from him and given to a stanch New Dealer, Representative Edward C.

...Rancher Belden and Pilot Monday took off from Pitchfork, began dropping antelope all across the nation. The Chicago and Philadelphia Zoos each got a pair and three were delivered at the National Zoo in Washington. Then the plane buzzed on to New York, where eight went to an animal dealer to be sold as pets, six went to the New York Zoological Park, two were consigned to Germany as cargo on the Hindenburg. For each of the tawny, wide-eyed, prick-eared creatures with 'little bumps where the horns are beginning to bud, Rancher Belden collected $100. Clumping about...
