Keep Many Wavering
Ones in Party.

did not retire until late hour, while
Robert and Charles, the Taft boys,
stayed up with their father.
Although the President had no state
ment to make about the Maine result,
his friends here were not so reticent.
They found much cheer in it. and were
sanguine of the effect in other states.
According to their views. the result
will serve to keep in line many re-
pu blicans who were wavering toward
the progressives. 1t will be eX
ample. they say, to the doubtful ones
of what can be accomplished where
solid front is presented to the demo-
Gratis. Some of the Presidents ad-
mirers went so far as to say that the
outcome in Maine would bring back
into the republican ranks many leaders
and many of the rank and file who
have deserted 1t for the new party.
