elect Powers was seen tonight by a, rep
rese1tatiye of the Associated Press ana
asked for an expression of his opinion
ON the result Of today's election de
said:
"Mainrs has today declared in no I'M
rertain terms against reputation and
dishonesty. as represented by free sill
yer and a fifty-cent dollar. We all
knew that the Pine Tree state could be
depended upon in the emergency, to set
the entire country q good example. L
think the result OF today's ballot is most
significant The campaign has been a
short one, but the people of Maine have
been greatly interested, and that the
majority of our citizens have honored
the Republican ticket, simply indicates
that in November the Democratic pol
icy of injustice and imitation will re-
ceive a blow from which it will never
recover"

II todd you long ago that Maine would
make her own record. she has done So
I asked you when you were here last TO
give q large majority, and you did so.
I do not think you did SO because l ask
ed YOU. for You have ideas of your own
and know how to carry them out. One
thing perhaps is 10 be regretted. You
have helped to settle a little trouble
among the Chicago Democracy. The
ticket has two. let US say, appendages.
One of them has now disappeared,
SewalIs star sinks and Wat5on'S rises.
At least, it seems so, but as neither of
them were stars of the first magnitude,
