c. Burleigh, Republican, for the
U. S. Senate, The representation
of Maine in the lower house of
Congress will by this election be
made three Republican to one Dem
ocrat. The present representation
is equally divided; two Republic.
ans and two Democrats.
The Taft men and the Roosevelt
men worked in harmony to get
this victory over the Democratic
party. But 1t is announced that
they will now split, and that the
Presidential election in Maine will
be three cornered; Taft, Roosevelt,
and Wilson, making a very serious
political situation in that State.
unless the Republicans there come
to their senses and see that the
right thing to do is to stand by
the party of liberty and equality.
as their fathers have done since
the organization Of the Republican
party.
The Republicans very wisely con
fined their campaign to the state
issues alone. II is this that en-
abled the Roosevelt faction to stay
with the straight Republicans in
order to win at Mondays election.
Since they were able to do this,
there ought not to be any great
difficulty in keeping the Republican
party practically intact in Maine
for the Presidential election, which
would insure great Taft victory
in that state in November.
The Deseret Evening News has the
to say:
The Republicans seem to have
been victorious in the state OF
Maine. The success, undoubtedly,
was due to the united efforts of the
old and new wings of the party.
The strength Of the Roosevelt sup
porters-whatever 1t is in the
state-will appear in the contest
for presidential electors.
Two years ago the Democrats
carried the state and the prohib.-
ton law was submitted to the vot-
ers. IL was reaffirmed by very
small majority. This year predic.
tons were freely made that the
Republicans would suffer another
defeat, for the Democrats prom.
ised to submit constitutional
amendment providing for local OPP
ton instead of prohibition, and 1t
was taken for granted that the LID
uor element was strong enough to
control the election. But this pre-
diction has proved erroneous.
Opinions are divided as to the
meaning of the Maine election re-
garding the presidential contest,
but there can be no doubt that the
people of Maine ar satisfied with
their prohibition law. They know,
what everybody else knows, that
dijculty in keeping the Republican
under a prohibition law owing to
the law defiance of liquor vendors
it certainly flourishes where sa-
looms are licensed and permitted
to flaunt their signs openly in the
very business centers of a city.
