If Woodrow Wilson is so ALFRED
popular and can poll so many votes at
the general election, the only man
that can hold light to Taft or Roose-
welt; and Cahmp Clark is such weak
ling and would practically amount to
no opposition to the republicans, why
in the eternal blazes is it that Clark
is beating the socks off Wilson in
the state primaries? 1t looks like that
such a popular man as Wilson is

Secretary Hewitt of the Commercial

The saddest spectacle this republic
has ever witnessed is that of thou
sands of citizens trailing after Roose-
welt and expressing approval of his
nation, properly administered the
office he gave him. The fact that any
considerable number of American citi-
zens can listen with patience, not 10
say approval, to man who boldly
procaims that he handed the presi-
dency over to another and wants him
to account for his stewardship, indi-
Gates that the spirit that animated
the founders Of our government is
dying out, and that there are many
people who do not deserve the pro.
lection that government gives them
Beaumont Enterprise.
The fact that such is the case shows
that the American people have drifted
far from their ancient landmarks. The
present Taft-Roosevelt controversy
strips the high office OF president Of
its dignity and puts it on level with
the office of town councilman in Chi
cago. And that's talking about it,

HON. VIM. 7. HA|NfS WINS GOVERN
: ORSH|P BY A PLURALITY OF 3O23
Next Legislature VIII be Republican, Which
Insures Election of Hon. E. {. Burleigh

Monday was the day of the great
struggle for party honors between the
two leading political facions, the
Republicans and the Democrats in
Maine. 1t was a close one, in fact the
closest for many years.
In the election of 1910. the Dem
ocrats were the controllers in all but
the Judicial departments of the State
government Their struggle this fall
has been ON the defensive side and
their campaign has been based largely
on the National issues.
The Republicans in their attacks
upon the opposite party used the
State issues as their weapons. The
Progressives were in full control of
their party machinery but with the
approval of Col. Roosevelt the split
was postponed until after the Monday
election.
The State turned back to the Re
publican party, William T. Haines be-
ing elected Governor over Governor
Frederick w. Plaisted, his Democratic
opponent who sought a second term,
while the Republicans regained one of
the two congressional districts lost to
the Democrats two years ago. With
every precinct heard from, Gov-Elect
Haines' plurality aomunts to 3023
The 1912 vote compared with that of
1910 for Governor was Haines, To-
92S, Plaisted, 67,9O5, and Fernald,
G4,644, Plaisted, 1904.

publican by a majority of %, which

put on deposit which has lately been
considerably increased by the sum of

to acquire money enough to buy the

sKOWHEGAN HAD NUMEROUS POLITICAL
WINNERS At MONDAYS ELECTIONS
Local Voters Have Made Rapid Returns to the
Republican Ranks---How Citizens Voted

Election day in Skowhegan was an
deal one as far as the weather con-
aitions were concerned, and at an
early hour following the opening of
The polls, the villagers and the rural
voters began to assemble to cast their

stalled on the stage and the audience
was informed from time to time how
the political situation stood. The
returns were met with much enthu
asm and there was considerable eX
element which centered largely on the
choice of Governor Representative to
Congress, and the Sheriff for Somerset
County.
The returns seemed to come in
Dretty even and it looked for time
as if the results would be neck to
neck but as the various counties were
heard from, Forrest Goodwin found
out that he had won out over Samuel
w Gould in all the counties of the dis
trict, but by small margin.
For some time John A. Mooers led
in the votes for sheriff of Somerset
Co., but finally Frank Thompson, his
opponent on the Democratic ticket, be-
gan to go ahead and eventually car
ried the county running about 200
ahead of his opponent.
The Republican vote for Governor in
Skowhegan was $50 this year as com
pared to 1862 last year, while the DEM
ocratic vote this year was 603 and last

gains in the Republican ranks to be
considerable during the year, while

as that of two years ago. In the 1st
District, Congressman Asher c. Hinds
