In Maine. the General said
II made nine speeches in Maine beginning at
Kittery and going pretty we'll up to Aro0steok The
Republican situation In the State 10 to be
excellent While there Is not a lively or a hot cam
paign, the Republicans are making their organiza-
ton ready TO meet any emergency. week ago there
indications that the Democrats were canvassing
the State with the view OF precipitatlng tremendous
battle In the last week OF the campaign. 1t came
10 the knowledge OF Joseph II. Manley, the chairman
of the Republican State Committee that there had
been conference between Arthur Sewall, chairman
OF the Democratic State Committee. and also the Maine
member OF the Democratic National Committee: Frank

Boutelle is thoroughly equipped a campaign man
and he knows personally about everybody In his
district. lie Is very popular, and look for his ma
iority TO be at least 5000 over both OF his c0mpc

Our state ticket In Maine, under the most favor

by not less than 1900 majority, and in my opinion II
may up TO 10000 majority. think tsat Mr.. Man
ley's campaign so perfectly organized that the
harder the Democrats fight the bigger WI be our
majority. 1t will stimulate our men to extra cxer-
ton. II must be remembered that the majority Sc
cured NJ the state election always Is smaller than that
given FOR President, when the fight Is made only on
National issues.
The Congress districts In Maine are wonderfully
