MAINE SWINGS

Regulars and Progressives
Unite to Elect State Ticket.
ASHER KINDS REELECTED
National Divisions. Held In Allegiance
and Taft Supporters and ColoneI's
Followers Join in Battle
for State.

Portland, Me.-The Republicans, al
lied with the Bull Moose faction, re-
captured Maine from the Democrats
at the State election.
Governor Frederick w. Plaisted
was defeated for reelection by Will
liam T. Haines of Waterville in the
closest election in the history of the
State.
Governor Plaisted attributes his de-
feat to the large %outpouring of the
country vote" MI. Haines says: 1T
is a great victory for the cause Of
good government"
The Republican leaders assert that
they won by attacking the administra-
ton of Governor Plaisted and declin-
ing to discuss national questions.
The returns show a Republican gain
of 9 per cent. and a Democratic loss
of s per cent.
The Republicans have also won one
seat in Congress from the Democrats,
having elected Forrest Goodwin in the
Third district over S. w. Gould, the
present Democratic representative.
In the First district Congressman
Asher C. Kinds, the only outspoken
TAFT candidate in the election, in
creased his vote of two years ago.
The fight in the Second district
was close, but Congressman D. j. Nc
Gillicuddy (Dem.) was elected by a
reduced margin over William B. Skel-
ton (Rep.).
In the Fourth district there was an
other close fight between Congress
man Frank E. Guernsey (Rep.) and
Charles w. Mullen Dem.).
Republican leaders claimed, on the
strength of these returns, to be as
sured of a sufficient margin on joint
ballot to elect former Congressman
Edwin c. Burleigh to the United
States Senate.
The Republicans used State issues
entirely as the weapons of attack, and
refused to be drawn into any discus,
sion of national affairs.
The Progressive element of the Re
publicans was in full control of party
machinery, but with the approval of
Colonel Roosevelt a split was post
poned.
With the ending of the truce pre-
vailing during the State campaign the
rival factional leaders will take up the
cudgels against each other and fight
for the six electors that each side has
put into the national contest.
In conceding the triumph of the
Republicans the Democratic leaders
admit that present figures indicate the
wiping out of the Democratic plurality
of two years ago. Both the Roosevelt
leaders who control the machinery of
their party in the State and the Taft
men are claiming the credit for the
success of their combination ticket.
Governor Plaisted issued the follow
ing statement:
"The stay-at-home vote of the Re-
publican party, which was noticeable
in 1910, got out in large numbers and
simply offset our reduced majorities in
the cities"

low of Our Hlndrances.

We could never know the JOY Of
overcoming unless there were some
thing to overcome. Every time there
obtrudes itself into our life some
sharp, unwelcome, distasteful circum-
stance, this is an invitation to enter
at once into a privilege, an achieve
ment, a joy, that we could not know
except for the unwelcome intrusion.
What a new glory our hindered, lin
tied, interrupted life takes on when
we really see it in this light, and hon.
estly believe in the power of Christ
to lead us always in triumph through
every obstacle that Satan intended
for our annoyance and defeat! To
Goethe is attributed the saying that
he neve had a chagrin but he made
a poem Of it. But no mere determi-
nation to do this can insure 1t in any
life. Christ alone is equal to 1t; yet
Christ is so sufficient that the very
words chagrin and defeat may drop
out of our experience. He has over
come the world in which We must
live. Therefore this hindering world
is the very best place in the universe
Just now for us to know and prove
his overcoming power.

Terms Are Refused.
The conference between County So
licitor Kulp, Freebooter Mccullough
and Judge A. E. Armstrong, repre-
senting the Public Service Corpora
ton, arranged for the purpose of ar
irving at a settlement over the War
rem street bridge controversy, was un-
availing. The terms offered by the
county officials were refused. Judge
Armstrong declared that he did not
believe the company he represented
would agree to pay any portion of the
cost of the bridge or anything for
maintenance. He gave it as his opin-
ion that the corporation could not be
made to pay any portion Of the cost
and cited a case in North Jersey
which, he maintained, was a parallel
case. County Solicitor Kulp did not
agree with him in his contention, and
pointed out that the Riverside Trac-
ton Company, which took over the
road from the Camden and Trenton
Traction Company, never obtained the
right from the county to use the
bridge. Judge Armstrong suggested
that the county engineer and the en-
gineer of the Public Service Corpora
ton meet and determine what was
spent on the bridge in making it
strong enough to bear the heavy troll
ley traffic. Judge Armstrong intimat-
ed that the corporation might pay
something toward the cost of this ex-
ira work, although he would not go on
record in this respect. Freebooter Nc
Cullough is of the opinion that the
corporation intends to make an at
tempt to- put the tracks down in de-
fiance of the county. The men on
guard at the bridge have been in
structed to resist any such attempt,

STATE HIGHWAYS

Road Commissioner Stevens
Complains of Bad Conditions.
POINTS OUT THE REMEDY
Suggests New Legislation and Co.
operation Among All Citizens
Must Change System or Go
Without Good Roads.

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-That there is something
radically wrong with the system in
caring for this States boasted fine
highways and that they are going to
pieces is the statement made by Col
onel Edwin A. Stevens, State Road
Commissioner, who was named to that
office as one of the first official acts
of Governor Wilson. Colonel Stevens,
in his statement, declares Governor
Wilson is not to blame for the con-
ditions which have grown up. The
Road Commissioner holds himself
alone responsible for any criticism of
the road office, at the same time
showing the public plainly how the
system can be remedied with the de-
sired legislation and the cooperation
of all hands. Colonel Stevens said:
THE daily increase in automobiles in
the State and the increase in foreign
motors using our roads make the
necessity for systematic coordinate
and efficient road administration daily
more urgent. If I may be permitted
to summarize l would say that the
rapid change in the volume and de-
structiVeness of highway traffic has
caught New Jersey with a system of
administration wholly unsuited to the
work required of it.
I'VE must either change this sys-
TEN or go without good roads. We
will do the former. AS to the lines on
which reform must be based the n
ruling principle must be personal re-
sponsibility. AS soon as the State
takes over any highway I shall at
once be replaced by some one better
fitted for the job. IF the State Com
missioner is further to be held &C
countable for all improved roads he
should be given power to enforce or
ders ON the local authorities. With
personal responsibility should go a
permanent tenure of Office and a sys-
tenn of promotion under which an eff
cient force can be nodded and main
tanned. During my short experience,
just Is months, at least three efficient
men have been superseded, for no
better reason than the caprice of the
governing bodies or a change in the
political compilations of those bodies.
Efficiency under such conditions is
wellnight hopeless. Highway work
has become an engineering speciality.
We should train young men therein.
To get the material we need we must
offer a career in which a man can
earn a good living and stand the
chance for promotion if he makes
good at his work"

Woman's Wit Saves Her.
A woman's wit saved her Saturday
from an attack by a drunken negro
and made it possible for her to
identify him in Headquarters Police
Court next morning. The fellow was
sentenced by Judge Near to a six
months term at the Workhouse. Mrs.
Smith, who has a little candy
and tobacco shop at White and

when the mar entered. He was under
the influence of liquor and immedi-

Mrs. Smith telephoned to police head
quarters and a patrolman was semi to
