In Vermont's Republican plurality
last week, this election In Maine may
be considered as foreshadowing a
Democratic sweep of the country In
the congressional elections this fall.
The elections In Maine seem to cm-
body protest against paternalism in
the state and nation. Gov Plaisted
is pledged to work for the repeal Of
the Sturgis commission statute, which
empowers appointees OF the state ex-
ecutive to send deputies into every
city and county to enforce the pro-
hibition law over the heads OF the
local officers, against the sentiment Of
the communities, and at local ex-
pense. He is pledged to resubmit to
the people the constitutional amend
ment establishing statewide prohibi-
ton.
Candidate Swasey, the "standpat"

which Nelson Dingley represented

Is defeated for congress by the Demo
crat McGillicuddy. In the First dis
trict, Asher c. Kinds, parliamentary
clerk OF the national house. has been
defeated because OF the split in his
party from the regular Hale machine.
His successful Democratic opponent,
Pennell. has overcome the Republican
district plurality of 3.272 In 1908. In

AS Goes Maine, SO Goes the Union.
The traditional saying that the
union goes as Maine goes, Is only
tradition. .,..
Maine has long ceased to be DIV
otap state. and its safety as a he.
publican stronghold has almost passed
into a proverb.
All the more significant Is the news
of Yesterdays election. For II trnm.

tidinss that no state Is any longer 10
he counted upon as the fixed asset
Of a party. =. .,.,
The meaning OF the news is that
the independent voter is abroad In
the land. The old party lines run
ana COW. There is no longer refuge
for cowardice, cunning or ineptituo
heb,nd the fences of the "organiza'
ton" =.

full state ticket, headed by Oscar b.
Colquitt for governor and A. b. Da-
wilson for lieutenant governor, the

standing the fact that the party declar-
ed in favor of the submission of a pro-
hibition amendment to the people.
A declaration favoring the submis.
sion of the amendment was included in
the platform. The platform is favora-
BILE to the policies Of Colquitt and up

lows:
I'VE reafirm the tariff declarations

condemn the proposition to remove all

manufacturers finished product"
This is favorable to Senator Bailey's
contention.

at an interview at the home of Richard

Aoams had said he had an arrange

from the McMurray contracts.
He also told me-" testified Mr.. Car

Yes, he said he was going to make
sure of it, as McMurray had double
crossed him at other times, but this
time he was going to fix it so he
wouldn't lose out"
Il also met Jake L. Hamon at Wash

Congressman Carter was then asked,
"Do you think majority of the In
dams are in favor of these contracts
giving 10 per cent to McMurray?"
There is no doubt that they are"
he replied: But there is also no doubt
that in signing the contracts many
we're Influenced to do so by persons
who had an interest in them"

said, offered him a present of $4,000
