The expected revival of business is
following the election. Numbers Of the
large Industries are to increase their
force of workmen, putting something
like three quarters Of a million more
men at work, and the stock market is
feeling the effect by boom beyond
auticipations. Probably the effects of
the business revival will be somewhat
felt in Maine, but perhaps no more than
was the business depression, which, to
tell the truth, has affected this state but
little, and was felt least Of all in the
