 Locally, the election created a little enthusiasm, but the small number of votes cast in Winslow, only 349, tends to show that the townspeople are fairly satisfied with present conditions, but the majority was sufficient to credit Winslow with a true Democratic spirit.
 The local tally follows: For Republican Presidential Flee tors: Fred s. Breen 53; Walter Talbot 50; Hoval A Smith B.
 For Democratic Presidential Electors: Wiley E. Jones 150; w. T. Webb 147; John R. Hampton 147.

DEMOCRATIC
 LANDSLIDE

Election Day passed off here quietly there being but little in- terest locally, except the returns from the national election which were received by the Postal Co. here in the form of bulletins.
 The incomplete returns of Ma vajo County (there being a few small precincts to hear from) is as follows: Taft, 150; Wilson, 265; Roosevelt, 223; Debs, 36; Chain, 1. For Congress: Campbell, 154; Hayden, 284; Fisher, 166. On the various constitutional amend ments and referred railroad mea- sures, all were carried in Navajo county by fair majorities, cspec- tally the recall of the judges and the three-cent fare measure. The interior towns voted against the railroad measures, just as the rail- road companies asked them to, but these majolities were over come by the overwhelming ma jorities in Winsl0W, the reason therefor being that the railroad employees were vitally interested in the measures and consequently voted for them good and strong. Equal suffrage also carried large, especially in the outlying pre- cincts. Returns from the State are that the Democrats carried everything and that all measures on which the people voted were carried by large majorities.
 The ladies of the Episcopal Guild have been busy this week overhauling Wetzler's Hall, which will be used for their church services.

WILSON is THE ONLY DEMOCRAT
WHO CAN DEFEAT ROOSEVELT
SENATOR GARDNER
Names Distinguished Demo-
cratic Senator Says Clark
Underwood or Harmon
Would Be Hopeless
By RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 26.-The
formal announcement, today, of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt's candidacy for the
Republican nomination serves to. en-
phasize the Importance of Gov. Wood
row Wilson's nomination by the Dem
ocrats. in the opinion of Senator ODE
diah Gardner. OF Maine. Senator Card
ner is the second Democrat ever elect
ed to the senate by Maine.
Senator Gardner declares that the Re
pubIicans win win in a walk if Roose-
welt is their nominee and the Democrats
rely on either Speaker Clark or Repre-
their banner. He declares that Gov.
woodrow Wilson is the only Democrat
who would have the slightest chance
against Roosevelt in New England
The senator gave out the following
interview:
"If the Republicans nominate a pro-
gressive, like Colonel Roosevelt. and
Oscar Underwood or Speaker Clark, or
Governor Harmon. Roosevelt will have
every chance to sweep the country over
Whelmingly.
Governor Wilson is the man who can
win, because he is the representative
candidate i'm the field. BY representa-
tive / mean showing the characteristics
ct no single class alone, but typifying
the virtues of many classes and repre-
senting them in his desire to lead all
along the path of progress with equal
ease and repidity.
Personally, / have a great deal of
admiration for Mr.. Underwood. but this
does not deter me from seeing that he
cannot rightly be classed a progressive.
Il consider Speaker Clark a progress
sive-conservative, but not a progressive,
and for this reason not a candidate who
can win in the coming presidential fight.
Woodrow Wilson is not put forward
as the fsvorite son of any state. He is
advanced as a man who. without max
ing any appeal to any section, can win
for the party. lie is being recognized
as such a man everywhere. and now
here more so than in my own state of
Maine.
Y Recently, i had an opportunity to
sound the sentiment of the people in
every. section of the state, without eN-
pressing myself at all. / found that on
an average there were four Wilson men
for every man who favored any other
candidate.

The Democratic state committee all
