THE NEWS FROM MAINE.
"oh, have you heard the news from

ooh, have you heard the news from
Maine?''
1 Maine is still Democratic. Curtis
vote for Governor was IS per cent
larger than Wilson's for President
two years ago. A heavy migration
of Progressives back to the 6. o. p.
rather more than reversed the rela-
tive strength of those two parties in
1912. But this is a detail.
/ Nobody, Republican or Progress
sive, returned from Elba. In fact,
the political geographers of the oppo-
sition were a little mixed. If they
will look at the map again they will
see that what they took for Elba was
st. Helena.
| Democrats have been assured on
! the most unimpeachable Republican
authority that tho people of the
United States in general and the East
lin particular, while doing full justice
| to the high qualities of President
| Wilson as a man, were tired of his
administration and profoundly dis
trustful of his policies. We were as
sured that personal regard for the
F, President and the disposition to give
| the Government o fair chance had
operated to reduce expression of

so soon as the people had a chance
to vote For then this undercurrent
of sentiment would rise to the sur
face and sweep everything else be-
fore it.
When the Westerner remarked
that to his unassisted vision the
people of these United States ap-

son, and that in St. Louis, Chi
cago, Kansas City and other middle
western centers of population his
strength seemed to have grown
steadily, it was conceded that such
might be the fact, but he was ad-
monished to "wait until you hear
and investing interests were incur
ably hostile.
We have heard from it. Maine is
more than East; it is "daown East"
It's people have developed in a high
degree the New England virtue of
thrift and the New England fashion
of frank expression of conviction
without immediate care as to cOnse-
quences. Maine is a land of savings
banks and small investors It is just
the region where the "undercurrent
of opposition to the Administrator"
might be expected to manifest itself
typically. And the Democratic ticket
in Maine on the day before yesterday
mustered nearly 1000 voters more
than it did in19l2 before this under
current" set in.
What does the vote mean?
It's significance is not local; it is
n national II means that tho Wilson
administration has been weighed in
the balances by the keen-eyed Yam
KEGS of the Pine Tree State, and that
as they have observed it from their
fourishing little manufacturing towns
hidden in the Maine hills, or medi-
tated on it upon the narrow and rocky
acres of their farms, or discussed it
in little groups on the sandy beaches,
f1anked by the granite cliffs of their
wonderful seacoast, they have made
up a decisive verdict. They believe

The election in Iowa this year will
be the first time that the voters will
have the right to ballot direct on
their choice for United States Senator.
Heretofore that, privilege has been in
vested in the state legislature. In
exercising this right the voter should
make no mistake. President Wilson,
administration has justly earned the
commentator and admiration of all
true americans. A vote for Maurice
Connolly means a.vote for q man who
will support and not obstruct Presi-
dent Wilson. "A vote for Albert ..
Cummins means the exact opposite.

MAINE POINTS THE WAY.

GAS Maine goes, so goes the coun-
try
Mainc goes for President Wilson
and the democratic administration in
Washington. 1t is safe to predict that
the rest of the country in November
will indorse the Maine verdict.
The September election in Maine
has long been considered significant.
1t has been found to be an exception
S~alIy reliable barometer in forccasting
the political weather.
In September, 1912, Maine elected
a republican governor, but by ma
jority of only little more than
5000. 1t elected a democratic
member of congress in one of the
four districts. In "rock-ribbed
Maine this was taken rs a certain
indication of the sweeping democratic
national victory which came less
than two months later
In September, 1914, Maine does
even better by the democratic party.
It defeats for reelection the repub-
lican governor who was chosen in
1912, and names democrat for his
successor. This in addition to re-
electing the democratic congressman.
The total vote of the state is some
5000 less than it was in September,
1912. But the republican governor
running for reelection polled about
$4,000 fewer votes now than then,
while the democratic vote on COVER
nor fell off approximately 5000. The
discrepancy is largely accounted for
by the fact that in 1912 the progress
sive party had no candidate for gov
ernor, while this year it had can
didate who polled more than 1900
Votes.
1t may be admitted that the pro-
gressive party vote was largely re-
sponsible for the republican defeat
in Maine. In this connection it is
worth while remarking that if the
loyalty of third party progressives
to their principles can contribute to
a republican defeat in Maine that
same loyalty will stand as a barrier
to the return of republicanism to
power in many another state not so
overwhelmingly republican as Maine
mas been. And the meaning of that
will be that the republican party will
have to make it's peace with the pro-
gressivc party before it can hope to
win any notable victories. 1t cannot
make peace with progressivism by re-
pudiating leaders like Crawford,
Bristow and La Toilette, as it has
done this year, and turning to leaders
like Curtis, Burke, Penrose, and
Cannon.
But it is not in the progressive
party alone that the Maine democrats
owe their victory. This is attested
by the fact that while President Will
son polled 51,113 votes in Maine in
1912, the democratic candidate for
governor this year polls 61,O00-a
net gain of about 10000 in the
democratic voting strength since Mr..
Wilson's election.
The democratic party was strong
in 1912. If we may Judge by what
has happened in Maine it is still
stronger in 1914. After the lrst OF
next January there will be more dem
ocratic governors in the United States
than there are now. There will be
continuance of the democratic House
of Representatives at Washington.
There will be a national administra-
ton assured by the results in Novcm-
Der that the country is willing to
continue to back it up while it dis
charges it's difficult duties having to
do with both foreign and domestic |
affairs of the highest Importance
