Democratic Gains In Vermont
and Maine Impressive.
OTHER PARTIES IN PLIGHT.
Third Tsrmers to Poll Their Entire
Strength From the Rapidly Thinning
Republican Ranks - Indications Are
That Taft Will Carry but Two States,
Roosevelt None.

That the results Of the state elections
dous Democratic victory in November
is freely admitted by all except the bit
terest partisans. Political experts have
done much analyzing, and some claim
to have reached novel conclusions. But
these facts stand out:
On Monday, Sept 9, 1912, the Repub-
lican and third term parties combined
elected William Il. Haines governor Of
Maine over Frederick w. Plaisted, the
present Democratic incumbent, by
3,O23 plurality; In 1908, a presidential
year, a Republican was elected COVER
nor by 1868 plurality; In 1904 the plu-
rality was 25,9OO. and in 1900 it was
34.132. In other words, In twelve
years the Democrats have cut down
the Republican plurality in state cleo
tiOns by 81, ,109.
In this period the Democratic vote
has increased from $4,000 to $4,000,
whereas the Republican vote has de-
creased from 74,OOO to 1900. The
Democratic vote OF this year exceeds
that Of September, 1908 by 1000, but
the Republican vote is about 1000 less
than that party cast four years ago.
The split in the Republican ranks,
following the election Of William l.
Haines, is pronounced IL the divi-
sion In Maine In November is as 1t
was In the recent Vermont election
six-tenths Of the Republican vote will
GO for Taft. three-tenths for Roose

party has to date suffered no losses
