THE RESULT IN MAINE
A Republican Sees in II a Heavy Blow

To the Editor 81 The Tribune.
Sir. In the election OF John A. Peters.

pluralities William A. Pattangall, Demo-
orat, and Edward NJ. Lawrence. Progress

prosperity and n vigorous and advanced
foreign policy may take new heart and
reasonably hope for the recall In 1910 OF
the present incompetent Congress, includ-
ing the present occupant OF the White
House I'm 1916, who received by great
odds the smallest percentage OF the popu-
laI vote since the Civil War.
According TO the latest available official
returns Mr.. Peters received 1899 votes,
Mr.. Pattangau 1880 and Mr.. Lawrence
6.453. The vote for President In Novem-
Der last was Wilson, 1869; Roosevelt,
1928, and Taft. 1859. When 1t is re-
called that the Democrats were assisted
by such splendid campagners as Speaker
Champ Clark and w J. Bryan and the
Progressives were led In the hastings by
men OF national prominence, as Albert j.
Bcverdge and others, each contcnding
with might and main for political su-
premacy, as II the very life OF their po-
litical organization depended upon the
outcome, the result is significant.
That the Democrats polled a full vote
and held their own under the strenuous
support which they received from Wash
ington is what was expected, but falling
on of GO per cent of the Progressive vote
certainly indicates that the cooler heads
OF both wings Of the Republican party
are alignng themselves with determined
| view Of routing the common enemy OF
American progress and prosperity.
