 OCRATS-STATE ELECTION ON SEPT g.

Bath, Me, Aug. 20-Republican lead- CTS fear that Maine will go for Will son. This State sent Roosevelt dele gates to the Republican convention in Chicago, and a large proportion of the members of the party were disap- pointed at the nomination of Taft, and While many would have been Willing to support Roosevelt rather than Taft, there are hundreds who be- 1eve that a compromise candidate could have carried the State. They now feel. that the present split will result in the choice of Wilson Elec- tors in November. Every effort is being made by the Republicans to keep National issues out until after the State election and to- prevent a clash between the Taft and Roosevelt forces which would endanger their chances of success in carrying the State on Sept. g.
 The liquor question, which has been the bone of contention through many campaigns, is not receiving its cus- tomary attention this year The re- local option have struck a favorable chord among the members of his own party and with a great many Repub- Hcans.
