RETURNS BEAR OUT
NAMES OvERTURN
Back in G. o. P. Column, but
Republican Leaders Will
Aid Roosevelt.

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 1o.-The -
State election, in which the Republic
cans won back the governorship, Sc
cured three or four congressman and
a sufficient majority on a joint ball
lot in the Legislature to assure the
election of a Republican United
States senator, became more apparent
today with revised and additional re-
turns.
William T. Haines. of Waterville,
Republican, was elected Governor by
a plurality of 1867 over Governor
Frederick w. Plaisted, Democratic
candidate, of Augusta. The vote with
twenty-eight towns missing was:
Haines, Republican, 70,072; Plaisted,
Democrat, 66,515.
Two years ago the vote for Gov-
ernor was:
Bert M. Fernald Republican, 64,672;
F. w. Plaisted, Democrat, 73,425.
The missing twenty-eight towns
two years ago cast ISL votes for the
Republican candidate and 846 for the
Democratic leader.
y 1plSIcSS1fld fASll6T u. f1l0uS, F1TSU
district, and Frank e. Guernsey,
Fourth district, Republicans, were re-
elected by increased majorities, and
Forrest Goodwin, Republican, sup
planted Congressman Samuel w.
Gould, Democrat, in the Third dis
trict. The Democratic candidate in
the Second district, Congressman ID.
]. McGullicuddy, was reelected.
The new Legislature will stand on
a joint ballot, "a Republicans and
rs Democrats, with ten districts yet
to report.
The State Senate will be made up
of % Republicans and s Democrats,
with one district missing. The House
will be composed of 72 Republicans
and 70 Democrats. with nine districts
missing.
Political observers were in some
doubts as to the effect of The Repub-
lican victory and the attitude of the
Progressive leaders regarding the
national election in November. All
of the Progressive leaders were ac-
lively identified with the Republican
party in yesterdays election. A num-
Der of Republican leaders have an
nounced their intention to go on the
stump for Colonel Roosevelt for
President and in opposition to Presi-
dent Taft for reelection.

THE MEXICAN SITUA TON.

f there are any more serious reasons at the present time for
Ii American Intervention in the affairs of Mexico than there
were six months ago they are not visible to the naked eye.
And yet, all of a sudden, there are rumors of war emanating
from washington based on unsupported allegations of a rapidly
approaching crisis demanding the march of our troops across
the Mexican border. Now, if our only object is to unite the
Mexican people the most effectual way is to invade Mexico with
an armed force. The instant that force appears on Mexican
soil civic strife will disappear and all Mexico will unite against
the invader. There can be no doubt that, even with the small
military armament at our command, we can finally whip Mexico,
but would it be worth the sacrifice we would have to make and
would it compensate us for the implacable hatred that would be
engendered in every Mexican breast and for the increased distrust
and dislike in all the rest of the Latin-American States? Could
we afford to wantonly create all this hostile feeling in Latin
America at this time or at any other time? The belief widely
prevails today among the American people that troubles in the
countries south of us are fomented by interests in Wall Street
and that the diplomacy of our government is too much influenced
in that quarter. A more sinister Interpretation may be placed
on any action by our government looking to our embodiment in
war. History tells us that European rulers in the past often
provoked war to influence domestic politics or to divert the
people from threatened revolution. These rumors of interven-
ton in Mexico arise at a time prior to a national election, when
a change in our government is foreshadowed and when the out
break of a war would tend to rally the people to the support
of the administration. The coincidence of time and event is
too suggestive to be ignored. Fortunately Congress must be
consulted. sThe President is bound by his promise not to act
without it's sanction, and we believe that will not be given.

TO %REcONvENE MEET

BALTIMORE, Sept. 10.-The Re-
publican State convention will cas-
semble here tomorrow for the pur.
pose of naming six presidential cleo
tors. OF the eight electors chosen at
the convention last May six are
avowed Roosevelt supporters. Three
Of this number have resigned since
the denomination of President Taft,
but three others, Colonel Joseph r.
Baldwin, David M. Newbold, jr., and
William Allen, have steadfastly re-
fused to get off the ticket and will
be deposed by the convention, which
will be controlled by the regular Re-
publican organization. While it is ok
pected there will be some Roosevelt
delegates In the convention the
Progressive leaders say 1t is their de-
sire that the supporters Of Colonel
Roosevelt should not attend, as they
contend that the convention is IL
legal.

SUMNER SCHOOLS AND HOLIDAYS.

IT T is particularly interesting for citizens of Newark, perhaps
the pioneer among American cities in the summer school
idea, to note its marvellous spread all over the country.
This is one of the most significant aspects of education in the
United States. About onethird of our colleges and universities
now hold summer sessions, and many of the normal schools have
taken up the plan. With the increase OF school work during
what used to be regarded as the vacation season, however, has
come a tendency to decrease holidays in the regular terms. A
report from the United States Bureau of Education points out
that the Roman republic recognized by law sixty-four public
festivals in the year, and that the schools of our own country
long ago passed this number of holidays, but there is now a
wholesome reaction.

QUITS RACE

tFrom a STAFF Correspondent

TRENTON, Sept. 10.-This morn
ing the following letter, dated yester-
day, was received by the secretary of
state from George w. Young, of Mon
mouth county:
'I hereby withdraw my petition as
a candidate for the office of United
States senator, thereby c~ancelling the

Mr.. Young's withdrawal leaves the

States Senator Frank o. Briggs;
Democratic, former United States
Senator James Smith, jr., State Sena-
tor William C. Gebhardt, Congress-

"If there ever was a time In the lif'

MAINE ELECTION
SATISFIES WILSON
Saws "Vote Shows Same Drift
as 1t Did in Ver-
mont"

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 10.-Gov-
ernor Wilson today declared himself
satisfied with the outcome of the
gubernatorial election in Maine.
"I think the results are very salts
factory. indeed" he said, based on
the results of both four years ago
and two years ago. Two years ago
the Republicans were divided, but
this time they were united. That
makes a great difference. In 1904, as
/ remember, a Republican Governor
was elected by $4,000 and President
Taft's majority was about $4,000"
Governor Wilson added that the
essential thing to consider was that
while the Republicans in Maine had
gotten together, the Democrats had
more than held their own, reducing
normal Republican p%luralitles ex-
t~ensively. He thought, also, that the
vote In Maine showed "the same
drift" as it did In Vermont, namely,
that the Democrats were not losing,
but gaining votes In States ordinarily
Republican.

cTn HIRTYTWO United States Senators will end their terms
Ii on March A next and their successors are to be elected
by State Legislatures next winter. In many States the
party candidates will be, or have been, designated in primaries
this year. The present Senate stands fftyone Republicans,
f~ortyfour Democrats and one vacancy. The retiring Senators
se mostly Republicans. A change of five will make the Senate
Democratic and more than five of the present senator's hail from
States where Republican chances look desperate. In Massa-
ehusetts Senator Crane, foreseeing the gathering storm, has an
nounced his retirement. In Illinois, Kansas, South Dakota, Ore.
gon, Colorado, Wyoming and New Jersey the chances favor the
Democrats. 1t is not unlikely that several States will choose
Progressives to reinforce the Progressiyes now in the Senate
and make a third party chamber. Nor can it be said the present
Senate is a Republican body, since it can be controlled at any
time by a combination of Democrats and Progressives.

NO SIGNIFANCE IN MAINE.

HE only Interpretation of the election results in Maine
yesterday is that it possesses no significance whatever.
On the Republican side it is a question whether the Re-
publicans or the Progressives poned the larger vote, as they
voted undistinguishably. The relative strength of the Repubh-
can and Progressive parties will be demonstrated only in the
November election on separate tickets for electors On the
Democratic side there is no room for jubnation. The Demo
cratic majority of 1910 has been wiped out. Governor Plaisted
is defeated, one congressman is lost, the Legislature is Repub.
lican in both branches and it will not elect a Democratic senator
The fact that the total vote yesterday did not equal the vote OF
1910 shows that many Progressives did not go to the polls,
refusing to vote for the candidates ticketed as Republicans. 1t
does not appear that the Democratic candidate got any of the
Progressive votes. The Maine election leaves the political fore
casters no wiser than they were before.

How the Campaign Progresses
Progressive Democratic Republican
TAFT IS JUB|LANT
OVER MAINE VOTE
Starts for Golf Links, Appar-
emily Forgetting About
His Lame Ankle.

BEVERLY, Mass, Sept. 10.-Pres-
ident Taft was greatly pleased with
the Republican victory in Maine. 1t
was the best political news, the Pres
ident's friends said today, that he
had heard since he entered the White
House. The President was SO inter-
ested In the bulletins that he stayed
up until an early hour this morning
to receive particulars of Republican
triumph. He smiled with delight and
was especially. cheerful when he
learned that the Maine Legislature
will be Republican on joint ballot,
assuring his party of another vote
In the United States Senate. Having
read the latest returns and breakfast
ed today, the President started for
Myopia and the golf links. His pleas
ure was so manifest that he appar-
emily forgot all about his lame ankle.
Mrs. Taft and the Taft children
were just as happy over the news as
vas the President. Mrs. Taft did not
retire until a late hour, while Robert
and Charles. the Taft boys, stayed up
with their father.
Although the President had no
statement to make about the Maine
result. his friends here were not so
reticent. They found much cheer IN
1t. and were sanguine of the effect in
other States. According to their view.
the result will serve to keep in line
many Republicans who we're waver-
ing toward the Progressives. 1t will
be an example, they say, to the
doubtful ones of what can be accom-
plished where a solid front is pre-
sented to the Democrats. Some of the
Presidents advisers 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 it for the
new party.

DEMOCRATS AHEAD

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. TO-
Returns received early today from
yesterdays State election indicate
that the usual majorities were rolled
up by the Democratic ticket headed
by Congressman Joe T. Robinson as
the gubernatorial nominee and that
the proposal for Statewide prohibit
ton has been defeated.
The vote on the so-called grand
father clause" was heavy, and while
the returns received show a slight
majority against its enactment the
result is in doubt. On the several
other proposals the vote is close.
Complete returns will not be avail
able before late today.
