REPUBLICANS
WILL WIN MAINE TODAY
Matthew E. O'Brien, Prohibi-
tion Campaign Speaker,
Returns to Washington.

Matthew E. O'Brien of this city, who
is a member of the national committee
of the prohibition party, and who for
the last two weeks has been campaign
ing in the interest of his party in
Maine and Vermont, returned to Wash
ington this morning and predicted that
the election in Maine today will go re-
publican.
Il believe" said Mr.. OBrien this
morning. that in the gubernatorial
election William T. Haines, republican
nominee will win by a small majority.
Haines is pledged to prohibition and
law enforcement, but his past record
makes prohibitionists doubt his sim
cerity. still many Of them will vote for
him as the best candidate.
Frederick w. Plaisted, the democratic
candidate for reelection, was elected two
years ago on his promise to enforce the
prohibition law if it were sustained by
the people. The law was sustained. and
he failed to enforce it, and now declares
that he will not try to enforce it in the
cities.

Local Conditions Rule.

Local conditions and issues were so
paramount in the election in Vermont
last week and will be in the election in
Maine today that the results cannot be
taken as a guide of what may be expect
ed in November. National questionsswere
hardly touched upon in either Vermont or
Maine by the old parties during the CAM
paign for the election of state officers.
In Maine, with the exception of Teddy
himself. the progressives talked unjust
taxation. The democrats did the same
and the republicans were forced to admit
that the present tax laws OF Vermont are
not just.
There is no progressive ticket in Maine,
but there probably will be one in No
vember. There is not much enthusiasm
for any of the candidates for the presi-
dency in the state. Reciprocity with Can
ada hurt Mr.. Taft. The farmers do not
want 1t. The farmers do not want Will
son because Of his attitude for free trade

WAR WITH BRITAIN

armored eruisers and eleven protected
eruisers-in addition to forty-four Of
the highest power torpedo boats, six
submarines and four mine-searching
vessels.
Fleet Germany Would Use.
This armada is described in the press
as the exact fleet with which Germany
would take to sea should war begin
at this hour. The maneuvers, to be
carried on in the presence OF the kaiser,
who will be on board the flagship
Deutschland, will be based on the the
ory that a superior force-meaning. of
course. the British feet-has blockaded
the North sea, and having blocked up
the German fleet within the blockaded
area, is seeking to find it and compel 1t
to fight a decisive engagement
It becomes increasingly plain from
day to day that all the energies of the
German navy department. like those
of the British admiralty. are directed
exclusively toward the possibility of an
Anglo-German Armageddon in the
North sea- 1t was announced, for in

ment this week that the Island OF Bor-

second-rate coast defenses, is about to

Much-Interested Visitors.

The vivacity and interest Of the visit
ing foreigners are in marked contrast to
the blase appearance of the average
party OF visiting Americans in Washing

tive interest in the sights of the capital
of the United States. and do not hesitate
to express their approval of what pleases
them, nor do they refrain from criticis-
ing the architectural or other defects
coming under their notice. Even the
manner of dress of some of the women Of
Washington did not escape the critical
eyes Of woman mem mbers of the party.
While waiting at the Raleigh this morn
ing for the touring cars that were to take
them to the boats, the wife of one Of the
European delegates snied a woman pass
ing along the street wearing a somewhat
exaggerated tight skirt. She looked at
the passer critically and remarked:
why do not the American newspapers
ridicule such clothes as those until the
ladies will no longer wear them? In
New York / saw such clothes on the
street, and here in Washington the first
thing see them again. Now, even in
Paris. such a skirt will not be worn by
ladies. 1t is not what you call nice
no, it is not; nice women do not wear
clothes like that in Paris or in my coun-
try. Look, as she walks. the form Is
shown shamlessly! L do not like the
