atom ninety-threo per cent of her voting

VIEWS DIFFER
Whether Maine's vote canbe taken as
"pointing the way" to what will happen In
November Tvas a disputed point among poli
ticians today because the Republican ma
jority was not nearly what It used to be
in the old days of Fry and Hale, and this
despite the fact that the total vote will
probably be the largest eier recorded in
tee Pine Tree State.
Tha Republicans were Jubilant because
Hie Issues of the campaign were almost ex
clusively national, and because Senator
Charles F. Johnson, running on his record
as a Wilson Democrat and supported by
. the entire' strength of the Democratic Ad
1 ministration, was defeated by a Progressive
prodigal who returned to the . O. P. fold
Frederick Hale, son of former Senator
Kugene Hale, They found additional satis
faction in the unexpected Indications that
a Republican apparently defeated "Dan
Iack"i otherwise Congressman Daniel Mc
Gltllcuddy In the Second District, where
24 hours ago they were almost admitting
lack of hope of turning out one of the most
popular Representatives In Maine. These
circumstances, they Insisted, were an
augury of Republican success In the No
vember elections.
WILSON UPHELD. SATS CURTIS.
The Democrats, on tha other hand,
pointed to the fact that Maine formerly
was Republican by 25,000. Governor Oakley
C Curtis, In a statement Issued at Portland,
admitting his own defeat by Carl E. MIDI
ken. Republican, summed up the Democratic
View when he remarked:
"If the Republicans don't get 15,000 Wll
see s upheld."
, Maine Democrats were pointing today to
the foot that they have materially reduced
the usual Maine Republican majority on na-
tlonal issues and to the figures for 1892,
when a Republican plurality of 12,500 In
September did not "point the way" to elec
tion of Grover Cleveland in November.

MAINE ELECTION MEANS
PARTY WINS IN FALL
James Pollock Sees in It a Re
turn of Roosevelt Faction.
SayB Hughes Will
Win
DEMOCRATS 0 P T I M I S T IC
Republican business and professional
men of this city were a unit today In pre
dicting1 that the Republican victory In the
Maine elections forecast a great reunited
Republican party and a nation-wide sweep
for Hughes and Fairbanks. They were
particularly gratified with the Progressive
vote, declaring that It Indicated a steady
return to tha party.
Democrats, on tha other hand, claimed
the result of the election meant little or
nothing. To strengthen their arguments
they pointed to the fact that the State,
after giving a Republican majority In Sep
tember, 1818, proved one of President Wil
son's strongholds in November of the same
year, barely two months later.
James Pollock, Roosevelt enthusiast,
said "The victory In "Maine Indicates that
the Rooseelt crowd hae rejoined tha
party. The Maine sweep Is a pretty good
promise that Hughes will carry every Re
publican State, and will be elected Presi
dent of tha United States."
"I don't think It forecasts anything." said
Robert S. Bright, president of the Demo
cratic Club. "In 1012 the Republican guber
natorial candidate and other State candi
dates receled a plurality as big as that
claimed by the Republicans toany in Maine
and yet President Wilson carried the State
by an enormous majority.
"No. I can't see that It means ery much.
Normally Maine Is a big Republican strong
hold and I don't think the result of the
election caused very much surprise to the
Democrats. Furthermore, I don't think
11,000 Is a ery big majority In a State like
Maine."
Franklin Spencer Edmonds, a lawyer,
said: "The Maine sweep Indicates that at
least three-fourths of the Progressives have
returned to the Republican Party. If this
proportion holds good throughout the coun
try Charles Evans Hughes will bo elected
president of the United States by a big
majority.
"More than three-fourths of tho Progres
sives In Pennsylvania, I bellee, already
have gone back Into the Republican party,
and In November Jhls State will roll up
a big vote for Hughes." '
FLTING START TO. VICTORY
Congressman George P. Darrow Bald the
result of tho election In Mdme'wai a flying
start toward a Republican victory. The
fact that tho Governor, twd United States
Senators and four Congressmen were elected
on the Republican ticket, he declared, shows
the trend of the publto mind.
'The flght In Maine," ho said, "was made
almost a national Issue and each Ride put
Its best talent In the field. A Republican
lctory. In view of such n contest. Indicates
that the people are thinking about a change
It must be remembered that tho Democrats
made a desperate effort to win."
Walter George Smith, Democrat, who
recently declared for Hughes,, said: "Tho
Maine election Indicates tha trend of popular
sentiment against the administration It
also proves that the Republicans and Pro
gressives have really joined hands. Further
more, it shows tho position assumed by
Mr Hughes regarding tho labor question
has Inet the approval of tha electors."
Roland S, Morris, former chalrrnan of the
Democratic State Committee, said: "Tho
figures show a close result in a normally
Republican State. I expected the .majority
to be much larger. There la no reason for
the Democrats of the country to be alarmed
In the slightest The result shows that the
Democrats nro holding their own."
REPUBLICAN COMMENT
Congressman George W, Edmonds said:
"It Is glorious. I am delighted. It Is Just
a hint of what Is coming later on. What
more could you expect under the circum
stances." Congressman George P. Darrow declared
the victory a splendid achievement for the
Republican party and said the result fore
casted a sweeping victory .In November.
"Tha victory," ho said, "is a splendid
one. It Is significant because both parties
conducted their campaign on national
Issues."
Theodore Justice said the Republican
sweep showed very clearly Just "how the
wind was blowing."
"It was great." he said. "The Repub
licans of Pennsylvania can feel assured that
the result of the election shows a return
of the prodigal Progressives to the grand
old party. I think the Republican party
will have a sweeping victory at the polls
In November.
C. C. A. Baldl, banker, -said he belleed
the result of the election In Maine re
flected sentiment of the voters of the entire
country.
"I am very much pleased with tha out
come in Maine," said Mr. Baldl. "I think
In November we are going to see a sim
ilar result all over the country."
John Prentice, director of the Camden
County Board of Freeholders, said the
victory only adds to the confidence of the
Republican party In the coming contest.
"As Maine goes, so goes the Union"
These are the words used by Nathan T.
Folwelt, president of the Manufacturers'
Club.
"To say the result Is gratifying Is putting
It mildly," Bald Mr Folwell. "The result
of the Maine election has strengthened my
belief In ths Republican presidential candi
date's popularity.
"It Is very pleasing to note that the
Progressives have at last returned to the
fold The victory Is an Indication of tha
sentiment of tha people, and I believe It
forecasts a sweeping Republican victory In
the whole United States.
"Policies of watchful walling and free
trade have not been favored by average
Americans, and I confidently believe they
ara going to repudiate thtm this Novem
ber." A Dtmocratlo year Is plainly Indicated
by the result, according to Charles D, Mc
Avoy, Democratic leader of Montgomery
County
"The result In the gubernatorial contest
is not the criterion," ha said. "In my Judg
ment, tha Hale-Johnson senatorial contest,
which must have been fought out distinc
tively on national Issues, Is the true
barometer. This indicates Democratic
presidential year, just as In 1882, when tha
State election went Republican by 12,600
and yet Cleveland won In November,
