HITCHCOCK MAY RfSICk
GENERAL TO HEAD
NEW YORK BUSINESS.
Loeb Mentioned FavorabIy for Chair.
manship Of Republican National
Committee.

Washington, Sept. 9.-It was stated
here on what should be regarded ~ re-
liable authority that Postmaster Gen.
eral Hitchcock will resign from the
cabinet before Jan. I and become the
head OF business house in New York.
This is understood to mean that Mr..
hitchcock will also not be a candidate
for the Craftsmanship of the Republican
national committee for next years
campaign and will be out of the politi.
cal game altogether.
The report coming here from New
York to the effect that serious con.
sideration is being given to the idea of
selecting William Loeb. former secre-
tary to the president, and now collect.
or OF customs in New York, as chair
man OF the general @. o. p. managerial
body. has produced additional gossip
about the Craftsmanship and the or.
ganization for the campaign. This dis.
cussion also has been enliyened by the
prospect OF the national committee
meeting here in December to plan
ways and means for warming up the

to the president. or Secretary Fisher
OF the interior department.
Among the more thoughtful politi.
clans here who have had experience
In campaigns the notion prevails that
1t is entirely too early to talk about
the organization for the next cam
paign. II is said that even the meet
ing of the national committee in De
cember will witness no progress to-
ward selecting a chairman. All is be-
lieved to depend upon the nomination
OF President Taft, the course of the
insurgent opposition. and the selec.
ton OF a vice president on the ticket.
II is regarded as certain that the
candidates must be consulted in the
matter of the chairmansthip and the
organization for the campaign.

As had been predicted, the cities
were the chief strongholds of the re-
peal faction, but the majority Of H.
900 in the total city vote was barely
sufficient, according to the latest
the rural communities. Although the
vote did not equal that of one year
ago when the Democrats swept the
state. which for years had been
Republican stronghold. the election
was without question one of the most
interesting contests that the state has
ever known.
Dry Since 1857.
Since 1857 Maine has had a statute
prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors and since 1884 prohibition has
been a part of the constitution. In
that year. 1884, the question of plac-
ing prohibition in the constitution was
put before the people and prohibition
won by a majority of 45.9SS, carrying
every county in the state.
Following this the attacks of the
anti-prohibitionists ceased for a time
only to be renewed in later years. The
Democratic party last year made the
question of resubmission of the con-
stitutional amendment to the people a
plank of its platform. The Democrats
swept the state in the election and
the legislature, aided by some Repub-
lican votes, voted to put the matter
before the people. The apparent de-
cision of the voters on the face of
the returns to take prohibition out
of the constitution does not mean that
liquor can lawfully be sold.
The Legislature must act before the
present statutory law adopted in 1857
can be repealed and the question must
again go before the people. Whether
Governor Frederick w. Plaisted will
call a special session OF the legisla-
ture for the purpose is not definitely
known but among prominent Demo
Gratis it is reported that he will take
such a step.
