TAT and the Maine Election.

Beverly. Mass, Sept. 1S.-There
was no statement for the public given
out at the summer capital today. The
results OF the Maine election were de-
cided shock and little attempt was made
to conceal the fact. On the other mana
it was quite apparent that the result
contained a double sting because re-
publican leaders had predicted a bene-
fetal result from the recent visit OF the
chief executive TO the Pine Tree state
Although nothing bordering on a
statement or even an intimation came
from the president direct, the idea was
adopted by common consent here that
President Taft will not be candidate
for reelection. Political prophets fore
see in the recent successes Of the dem
ocrats the probability Of national cry
for republican Moses. President TAFT
has never in his public utterances or
his private conversations with the news
paper men evinced any desire to shout
der this role.
While administration supporters still
deny that there is any breach between
President Taft and his predecessor, to-
days returns from Maine again demon
strated the lack OF love they bear
Roosevelt, Just now they are creditlng
him with another demonstration OF an
uncanny gift OF farsightedness and
privately declaring he is daily hgur-
ing that an appeal will soon be made
for saviour of the party"
The eye OF all the political generals
of the administration forces are now
turned on Ohio and New York, and
the best strategists in the party will be
called on to lend their aid in the con-
tests TO be fought in these two states.

BOND ISSUE is UNCERTAIN
Reclamation Officials Not In Sym.
pathy With Movement.

WASHINGTON, d. CA new
stumbling block in the way OF the
sSO,OOO,OOO reclamation bond issue bill
has arisen. The officials of the Re

fore the Ballinger-Pinchot committee
and before the ways and means com.
mittee, where the bill is now pending,
damned the bill by faint praise. Di.
rec'or Newell and Chief Engineer
Davis are not enthusiastic over the
legislation; in fact at no time really
have urged its passage, though, un.
der examination, they have. admitted
they could to advantage use more
money in season than is available
out OF the regular reclamation fund.
The objection to the bill will be
