p.v-oR. NIE.. Sept 13.-There was a big
IN fo the state election against the Re
ara~ State and Congress tickets
E.E- state ticket is elected, 10 is true, but
I-srurality cut down az least S,OOO Oe-
..If Of lsSS or 1890, in each OF which
-.-. f. ran above 1900 The plurality OF
.r-Fa CONGRESS districts is reduced
S~.r "a falling of was not expected oy
..- democrats after the fight which the
rs-rb..rsns had mado. Their tniorma-
.'-- hardly led them 10 hope TO more tnan
-s-s.v keep the Republican plurality at
,lsrfrmal figure, and they were as great
f-.rrprised as the Republicans Wneh tue
r.-rrr, came In showing a reduced kepuo-
r-sr plurality IN all parts Of the state.
rrprEIICANs WORKED HARD.
Every effort had beeu made to get out
.ss vote Henry Cabot Lodge, Represent
alive Burrows, j. Sloat Fassett and otner
PsDg1icdu orators of national fame were
b-lughr into the State, while Representa-
+.rss Reed. BOuteue, Dingley and MlulAen
and Senator's Hale and Frye urged their
f,r8wsrs TO roll up heavy vote. Joe"
Ws9.av known the country over as the
frssrd of James G. Blaine, personally man
a,ei he battle for the Republicans, ana
M blaine himself issued his famous let
tsr -betime when 10 WAS thought 10
would nave the best effect upon the Repuo-
leans. -.-s,o,,
I'm. tFs increase was In favor Of the Demo
r-s-s their strength growing &c the rate OF
sJout three votes TO one ItcplolcHn vote.
vu1tKEN MAY BE DEFEATED.
The election was for Governor, a Legis-
'sfrrs 10 elect a United States Senator 70
v,rsed Hale. and four Representatives IN
Congress Reed, BOutelle, Dlng.ey and
lWfkep were the Republican candidates
fr Congress. and all of them will suffer
~s5rc-i0D in tbelrvofe. while Milliken may
fsFsfseted The election was held for the
f-,- time under the Australian ballot sys-
-s- IL seems evident that under this syS-
TEN d vote free from the influence OF the
party whip has been held, while rev votes
have been purchased, whereas IN years
past Republican money Tor corrupt Put-
poses has been abundant.
The Democrats everywhere are very Joy
fu. FOR while they had no hope Of carrying
he State they have made great gains IN
nearly every town and hamlet. Lewiston,
the home Of Dingley, shows great Demo-
cratic gains and is lost % that representa-
tive Reed loses also and the same Is true
Of Nillken and BOuteuo.
There are two reasons for the breaking
away from the party in power. One is tue
dissatisfaction at the defeat Of Blaine IN
The convention, the other because OF dull
ness in business circles since the taking
eFec. OF the Mckinley act. The farmers
want more markets and favor the broad
policy OF reciprocity advocated by Blaine.
Then the nvpOcracy of the prohibition 2tu-
ude OF the Republican party has sent
many men to the Democratic RANKS.
While no prominent Republican on the
ticket. save NHliken, is in great danger OF
defeat, vat the loss is a serious one. IL was
i11dr .-ped an old time Republican ma
ortF would be rolled up, % the end that
ae returns might oe used IN other states
% influence the November elections, out
Indications are that the Republicans viii
oe obliged 20 defend and explain why they
suffered the loss.
There is no doubt but that the Legisla-
-re VIII 0e Republican, which means the
selection of Hale for Senator. The country
towns are struggling with the requirements
OF Che new ballot law and the exact vote
1911. not be known for three days.
