Every one at Republican national headquarterS
was happy yesterday over the returns from YER
mont The plurality all that was expected
and II is regarded trustworthy indlcauoh tndI
Maine will follow suit with a bumper Repuphcah
luraIitv and that the full party vote will be poieo
William L. Ward, the only member or the eA-
ecutive committee of the Republican National COM
r1ittee at headquarters, said that the Repuohcdh
majority far exceeded his expectation
I'VE thought that we would do wen 10 SCI d

Postmaster General Meyer, caller at headquar-
ters said that the big majority was an indlcauon
that Taft and Sherman were certain OF election IN
November.
Representative Herbert Parsons. Of New YORK.
interpreted the vote to mean, without doubt a Re-
publican victory this fall.
Chairman Woodruff said that he thought the re-
suits in Vermont yesterday argued well for the
Republicans.
While at headquarters yesterday General Fo"-
ell Clayton the representative of Arkansas on
the Republican National COMMITTEES, reviewed the
political situation in the Southwest
IF we could ever get fair count In Arkansas

"THE RAILROAD EMPLOYEE" FOR TAFT
D. E. Chaplin, It's Editor, Says Sentiment
Among New Egland Men Is Republican

Ben e Chaplin. editor OF THE Railroad En-
ployee, the official publication OF the Order Of Rail-
road Station Agents came out yesterday solidy for
Taft and Sherman. He has just returned from
Providence, where he attended a reunion of the
Order of Railroad Conductors.
IF the sentiment at this meeting, where nearly
two hundred representative New England railroad
conductors were present" said Mr. Chaplin, sis a
criterion of the general feeling among organized
labor, Mr.. Taft will receive at least three-quarters
OF this vote. The sentiment against Mr.. Bryan's
government ownership ideas well pronounced
and emphatic
Every man, especially those in the railroad
vice realizes continued Mr.. Chaplin, that the
wcIk king and wage conditions of engineers, frenlen
conductors and trainmen far more favorable
than those of the railway mail clerks who work on
the same train and who are, of course. under the
supervision of the Postofice Department. An
other thing that the railroad rank and file dread
is a frequent change of management, and, gener-
ally speaking, the roads which receiving the
most efficient and satisfactory service from subor-
dinates are those where the officials and the
meet and work on & common plane and where each
knows the other. This condition would be mpos-
sibIe under a system of government control. where
the administration is liable TO change every four
years"

turns-very much encouraged. As the 5000 is a
sort of twin brother to the Republican plurality in

the Democratic vote per cent. He said that the
Maine state election. which would take place on
September 15 would be left to the state leaders.
