MAINE DEMOCRATIC
BY 1898 AFTER
EXCITING CONTEST
Curtis Defeats Governor
Haines and His Party
Wins Legislature - Three
of the Four Congressmen
Republicans.

PORTLAND, Maine, Sept 15-In one
Of the closest elections the state has ever
known, the Democrats yesterday elected
Oakley c. Curtis Governor, The several
thousands of voters who supported
Roosevelt in the 1912 election hocked to
the polls yesterday to back the Repuo-
lican ticket, but their number was not
enough to down the Democrats.
owing to the exceeding closcness Of
the vote no one could be at all conf
dent of the result until the last ballot
had been counted. The returns from all
the cities, towns and plantations gave
Curtis, Democrat, 5s,S77; William T.
Haines, Republican, 56,179, and Gardner,
Progressive 17,147; Curtis plurality, 2G9s.
The four Congressman, Asher c. Hinds,
John A. Peters and Frank f, Guernsey,
Republicans, and Daniel ]. McGillicuddy,
Democrat, were reelected, according to
the same returns as those received III the
governorship contest. The missing towns
arc too small to change the count, al
though the plurality may be reduced
somewhat,
The returns indicate that the Demo-
Gratis have made gains in the Legislature.
The representative districts reporting
have elected &c Democrats, AZ Republicans
and Progressives, just the reversal of
the Democratic and Republican count of
two years ago, while the Progressives at
that time reported three. The Senate APP
pears to be about the same as two years
ago. The House elected then was made
up of 70 Republicans, So Democrats and
Progressives.
The early returns favored Curtis, then
the tide turned toward Haines but after
midnight Portland and Bangor We're heard
from and the former failed by 1000 to
keep up the pace set by the rest Of the
state, while Bangor fell off completely
on Haines' votes.

Dudley Bartlett, chief of the Fora,u.

mercial Museums These opportuni,,..
are a direct result of the European v..
through the action of the Canadian Min.
lister Of Customs in prohibiting the i'm \
portatlon into Canada OF goods from Gar.
many and Austria-Hungary. The I'm.
ports from these two countries into c,on-
ada amounted in round numbers to ss.
100000 annually. 1t was also pointed m,
that the imports from France, Belgium

are as effectively cut off as If they were
forbidden, amounted approximately N

ut Is reasonable" Chief Bartlett saws
ito assume that Canada will be In ths
market for substitutes for the goods
which make up this total. That they
will have to be imported Is reasonable
assumption. 1t is hardly likely that the
Canadian manufacturers at this time ara
in a position to make up the deficit
though they may seize the moment to
develop along the necessary manufactur.
ing lines. This leaves two alternatives:
importation from Great Britain or from
the United States. 1t is hardly reason.

turers will be able to take advantage Of
the present opportunity. On the other
hand, it would not be surprising II i'm.
ports from the mother country, which
amounted to $685. GAG, 1856 last year. should
be temporarily curtailed.'
The present opportunity for American
manufacturers in Canada is principally
in the lines here enumerated And to
