NEW ENGLAND AROUSED.
No Indifference There-Seeretary vii.
sons Observations.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Secretary Will
son. who has been making an extended
tour of Vermont and Maine, has re-
turned to Washington and expressed
his qualification over the result Of the
election in Vermont, which he at
tributes to an Endorsement Of the
administration and an indication Of the
sentiment of the people throughout
New England toward President Roose-
welt. He is confident that Maine, by
its vote on September IL, will place the
stamp of it's approval on Republican
policies and prosperity. He said:
The impression that has gone abroad
that the voters Of Vermont were :ndif-
ferent about the election is erroneous.
The fact is the people of Vermont were
very much alive to the importance Of
the campaign, and the real issue on
which their votes were cast was that
of its effect on the general election next
November. They had before them con-
stantly the idea that they were voting
either for or against the administration.
That, and not any state question, ives
what determined their votes.
Their action was taken exactly as II
they had been voting for the national
ticket. The people of Vermont do not
think it is matter Of indifference who
is elected next November. They are
not lulled to sleep with the idea that
the Democratic party can do nothing,
even If placed in power, because Of the
way Congress is constituted They
not only see danger for the continued
prosperity Of the country in the election
of a Democratic President, but they
have their own views on the question
of indorsing all that President Roose-
Welt has done. They cast their votes
in order to show that they approve mis-
course. In my Judgment, their action
may safely be accepted as indicating
the sentiment Of New England toward
the administration.
I did not see so much Of the State cf
Maine as did of Vermont, but what I
did see convinced me that the vote
there will be in line with the action OF
the people Of Vermont. The voters Of
Maine have before them the same
reasons for voting to sustain the Presi-
dent, and I have not the least doubt
that they will do so.
l found the farmers Of New England
we'll satisfied with the manner in which
the government is being conducted.
They realize that anything that tends
to produce a lack Of confidence in the
future. such as putting a party in
power that has stood for policies in on
position to those the country has fol-
lowed in its times Of prosperity, IS
in the extreme. They are
fully alive to the situation that now
confronts them
From my Information feel satisfied
that the sentin ent that IL 70 general in
the New England States in which I
have been extends over the country. I
look for an increasing sentiment in
favor Of the Republican party from
now until November.
