MEAN WILSON TO SWEEP COUNTRY Democratic Gains in Vermont and Maine impressive. OTHER PARTIES PLIGHT Third Termers to Poll Their Entire Strength From the Rapidly
 Thinning Republican
 Ranks.
OTHER PARTIES PLIGHT

That the result of the state cleo. tions in Vermont and Maine mean a tremendous Democratic victory in No vember, is freely admitted by all ex- cept the bitterest partisans. Politi- cal experts have done some analysing, and some claim to have reached novel conclusions. But these facts stand out:
 On Monday, September 9, 1912, the Republican and Third Term parties combined elected William T. Haines governor of Maine, ever Frederick W. sls,lsted. the piaaest Democratic n. clulnbeLt, by s.023 plurality; in l3oo, q llSs idental ytat, a Republican Ws.s elected governor Ey i,ooj plurality, h l.0l, the plurality was 25,8OD. and in I90U it was 34,132 In other words, in l2 years the Democrats have cut down the Republican plurality in state elections by 31,i0o.
 In this period the Democrc.ic vote has increased from 39,000 to 6S,000 whereas the Republican vote has de- VI O0oC0 AAOAA tT1OVC " tAtvoS. AAS Democratic vote of this year exceeds that of September, 1908, by 1,Oo., put the Republican vote is about 2,00o less than that party cast four years ago.
 The split in the Republican ranks, following the election of William T. Haines, is pronounced. If the divi- sion in Maine in November is as it was ill the recent Vermont election, six-tenths of the Republican vote will go for Taft, three-tenlhs for Roose- velt, and one-tenth for the Demo. crats. It is significant that the latter party has to date suffered no losses, as compared with the vote in previous years. from the Tnird Term move, ment. On the contrary, it has gained. The result in Maine may be expected to be something like this: Wilson. 74.000; Taft, 42,60O; Roosevelt. 21.3O0
 The returns from the recent Yer mont election show, in round figures that the joint Republican and thinI

party vote was eight per cent. shoet' of the Republican vote four years ago. while the Democratic vote in that state shows gain of twenty-five per cent. over that of 1908. It is of spe- cial interest to speculate what will happen next November throughout the nation If the Republican and Democratic vote for the national tickets happen to be affected as tue gubernatorial vote this month in Vermont has been affected. The New York Evening Post has done some interesting figuring along this line and as a net result 1t is shown that, under the contingencies mention ed President Taft would carry only two states in November, Rhode Island and Vermont, all the others going for Gov. Wilson. The conclusions reach. ed by the Post follow,
 ITO compute this result we should have to deduct s per cent from the vote cast for Taft four years ago and apporIion the remaining vote in the ratio of 62 to 3S between Taft anu Roosevelt, and we should have to Rd 35 per cent. to Bryan's vote in 1903. and give the 'demnition total 70 Woodrow Wilson. In other words, gi te Taft 57 per cent and Roosevelt B per cent. of 2Taft's vote four years ago, and give Wilson 125 per cent. of Bryans vote four years ago
  The result in round numbers would be as follows, so far as regards Tafl and Wilson.
