DEMOCRATS
IN sTATEOF MAINE START THE NoYEM-
BR LANDSLIDE.

Portland, Maine, September ls.
Twenty-seven years of allegiance to
the Republican party failed to avert
the political landslide which to-day
descended on the state of Maine,
placed Democratic Governor in the
statehouse, sent three Democrats to
Congress out of delegation of four
and probably gave control of the
State Legislature to the Democrats,
thus insuring the election of "a Demo-
crat to succeed United States Sena-
tor Hale, whose term expires next
March.
In the face of the sweeping Demo-
cratic victory the Republican leaders
were overwhelmed with surprise,
and the magnitude of the success as
tonished even the most sanguine
of Democrats.
1t was the first beating the Re
publicans of Maine-the state of
Blaine and Reed had had in 50
years, and by coincidence, Harris
NJ. Plaisted, father of the present
successful candidate, was Names
Democratic Governor, in 1881.
Washington, September le,- The
result ofthe Maine election to-day
is construed by politicians in Wash
ington as another indication of the
general drift of political sentiment in
this country. The Democrats nat
urally regard it is an omen of the
election of a Democratic House of
Representatives in November. and also

heretofore the Republicans have usu-

The outcome of the Maine election
started Republicans to wondering
whether Ohio would go Democratic
as many cf them have been fearing
for some time; also whether there is
any hope of carrying New York and
Indiana. as New jersey and other
states which have been going Re-
pulican with great regularity. Fol-
lowing the big slump in the Vermont
vote last week and the election of
Democrats in the Fourteenth Mas
sachusetts Congressional District anc
n the Rochester IN. W District at
special election last spring, even the
most sanguine Republicans are begin
ming to lose hope.

been going Republicanby from 3e,-
