Washington, Sept. 12.-President Samuel Gompers of the American Fed eration of Labor, tonight gave to the Associated Press a statement concern ing the result of the Maine election, in part as follows:
 q look upon the result of the elec- ton in the Second District of Maine as a great moral victory, not only for labor, but for the people generally. Of course 1t would have pleased me more had MT Littlef1eld been defeated but in view of the fact that except in some parts of the Southern States the worxingmen there are less organized than in any other part of the country I appealed not only to the workingmen but also to the women and to men in public life. The cutting of Mfr Lit tlefield's majority of 5.603 in 1904 to between TOO and 800 is cause for grati- f1catIon.

Sterling, H., Aug. ga movement
is on foot in the 35th senatorial dis
trict. which may result in united action
by the liquor dealers associations in
the three counties and the prohibition
party, in an attempt to defeat the Anti
Saloon league.
The Anti-Saloon league after siren
uous campaign secured the nomination
of H. L. Sheldon of Rock Falls and
William Tindal of Kirkland as candi-
dates for representative on the repub-
lican ticket and pledged to local OPP
ton. The league refused to assist the
prohibition candidates. In turn the
whisky men would rather have prohi-
bition representative in the general as
sembly than a local option man.
This has resulted in overtures being
made and there is a strong probability
that the two organizations will join in
