Editorial Comment
Republican Gains, Democratic Losses.

portland Express and ADVERTISER
The Democratic losses and the Re-
publican gains had not been figured
by the headline writer who proclaimed
a Democratic triumph yesterday. In
the four cities in which there was a
contest Biddeford, Belfast, Bangor and
Augusta, the total vote for the Repub-
lican candidates for mayor was 4724
and the Democratic vote was 6,036.
Two years ago in the election of Gov
ernor, these same cities gave a Repub-
lican vote of 1899 and a Democratic
vote of 6.424. So that the Republicans
gained in the four cities, S25 votes and
the Democrats lost 1888 votes.
The Republican gain was a gain of
81 per cent, and the Democratic loss
was a loss of six per cent. Bearing i'm
mind all the while that the cities are
still Democratic, and that the great
Republican strength in Maine is in the
rural districts, il is interesting to OBJ
serve that gain of q per cent on the
vote of two years ago if extended over
the whole State the total Republican
vote for Governor being 64,672, would
give total Republican vote of 7S,253;
and that Democratic loss Of six per
cent on the total vote for Governor
Plasted of 73,425. would give a total
Democratic vote of 5000. which, sub
traeted from the possible Republican
vote. shows Republican majority OF
9233
Now let us consider the IA cities
which have held elections this spring.
The total Republican vote in these IA
cities is 1888 against the total DEM
ocratic vote of 14.90l. Two years ago
on the vote for Governor. the Repub-
lican candidate in these same cities
received 1886 and the Democratic
candidate 1858. This shows a Re-
publican gain in the IA cities of 1855
votes and a Democratic loss in the
same cities of 1867 votes. The Repub-
lican gain is a gain of l4.6 per cent
and the Democratic loss is loss of
101 per cent. Applying the same per.
centage of gain and loss to the total
vote for Governor two years ago, we
find a total Republican vote of 74,114
and total Democratic vote of 66009,
or a Republican majority of S,105; and
| this, based solely upon the Republican
gain and Democratic loss in the cities,
where the Democratic strength Is
| showing a trend toward the Republi
can party that is unmistakable. and
| one which viii be manifestly increased
| by the Republican, gain in the rural
| sections Of the State.

Primaries on Sunday.

Editor Kennebec Journal:

the other day, and we got to speaking
of Primary Elections. He said, They
should he held on Sunday" | asked
him why? He said. There are many
people in the farming communities
who are capable of good thinking. who
will not leave their labors to attend,
even the general elections. There are
many mechanics and workers in towns
who will not leave their work to vote
unless they can do so on their way 10
or from their dinner. People who are
out of work one third of the year
feel constrained to put in all the
time they can when they have a JOB.

of the 50 to do the primary balloting.
Then let the polling places be clean

Menace of World Wide Strike.

on the globe, we confront condition
of untold hardship and disaster Al

Great Britain-1 .000.0 900 on strike and
another million thrown out of work
because Of the impossibility of OBJ

these millions and great numbers of
others dependent on them. Commerce
and manufacturing are halted or Grip

Press dispatches to the Journal we
quote the following
1.-THE distress which has been caused
throughout England, Scotland and
Wales as the result of the great coal
strike is becoming very acute, more
particularly in Wales. In that coun-
try, practically the whole life of the
people depends upon the output Of the
ccoaI mines. In the city of Cardiff,
alone, the chief constable reports that
700 families are in immediate need of
relief, and in all the mining towns
there will be need for assistance I'M
less a settlement is uickly reached.
The men on the railroads and those
connected with other industries are
now being discharged daily by hun.
dreds, the notices to quit which were

Slough this strike continue for an
extended period and be augmented
by the closing of mines in America, it
would incur as much suffering and
loss as would great war. Yet no
method has been devised by civiliza
tion to meet such a crisis in world af-
fairs. Starving millions, ruined indus
tries. setback in world progress be-
yond estimate-all because of greed
of dividends and greed of rights of
equality and conservation of energy.
Could such demonstration be ma
nipulated at the will of great moral
a gencies. a prospective war between
great nations could be nipped in the
bud Were the bond of sympathy be-
tween great bodies of men in Ameri-
can and Great Britain as strong in

Looked at from this point of view,
