WHAT HAPPENED IN MAINE.

Nobody knows exactly how it hap
pened in Maine, or what happened
in fact. Everybody was sur
prised. On the night of the election
the Prohibitionists conceded their de-
feat. but with superb coura ge declared
that they would keep on fighting. Then
the returns from the plantations and
towns began to come in. and kept on
coming in until what appeared to be
victory for the repeal of Constitu-
tional prohibition was converted into
defeat. and a Saharan aridity settled
down upon the State when suddenly
the wind shifted again and the State
appears to have gone the other way.

Maine is a great State, great in the
extent of its territory. in the wealth
OF its resources, in the rugged beauty
of its mountains and shore lines, In
the integrity and thrift of its people
and the tenacity with which they hold
to their opinions, right or wrong. One
OF the Significant things about the
election on Monday is that there was
one vote for every thirteen of the pop
