Maine Vote Analysed.

That the democratic candidates in
M tine / oil ed percentage OF the pro-
gressive, independent and stay-at-
home vote of former years adequate
| to enable Woodrow Wilson to carry
the country by large majority, if the
same percentage is maintained in 9TH
er states, lis conclusively shown by the
final returns from Maine.
Ii is also true that the democratic
candidates for senator in Maine, the
vote for whom undoubtedly was cast
upon national issues solely, scored an
increase over the vote for President
Wilson in Maine, which if maintained
at the same rate throughout the coun-
try, would give President Wilson a
majority OF the popular vote OF the
Country and assure his safe re-elec-
ton in November.
johnson and Stills, the two demo-
cratic candidates for United States
senators, according to the unofficial
returns, polled respectively II, $50 and
ll5,7l9 more votes than Woodrow
Wilson polled in Main in 1912 Wilson
got 81, 1l3 votes in Maine.
Taft got 25, 545 votes and Roosevelt
got as, 493 votes. This represents a
total of 1876, ISL votes cast for the can
didates of the three principal parties.

Officially Informs Washington
Course Toward China Is
No Concern of U. S.
REAL PURPOSE In DOUBT
If Political Concessions Violat-
ing Treaty Rights Sought,
America To Take Action.

Washington, Sept. 13.-The Japan
csc government has officially inform
ed the United States through Ambas-
sador Guthrie, that while it has made
important demands on China in con-
nection with the recent clash at Cheng
Chiatum, there is nothing in the rep
reservations infringing on American
interests by violating the open door,
Chinese integrity, or the Root-Taka-
hira agreement.
Whether the Washington govern
ment will accept these assurances as
conclusive, depends on the interpre-
tation which Japan places on her
demands as her negotiations with
China proceed. Officials here are
uncertain as to Japan's relations,
though it was revealed today that in
an inquiry on the subject, the Japan
csc foreign Office was not notified the
demands had greatly disturbed the
American government.
Ambassador Guthrie reported that
the japanese foreign minister con-
firmed the outline of the demands
printed in this country as approx
mately true.

one per cent This shows the tre-
mendous addition TO the normal
democratic vote in Maine due to the
strength of Woodrow Wilson'S case
before the people.
Fernald polled the highest vote of
all the Republican candidates in
Maine and his total, 1865 represents
a gain of 1880 over the Taft-Roose-
welt vote combined in 1912, about six
per cent.
A gain of thirty-one per cent. for
Wilson carried throughout the nation
upon the basis of the 1912 total popu-
lar vote would give him plurality OF
over 100000, over the total nation
wide Taft-Rookevelt vote.

REPUBLICAN TARIFF
NEITHER WISE NOR JUST

You will all recall that when Mr.
Wilson went into the Presidents chair,
there existed upon our statute books
prohibitive tariff law. Under our
party platform, he was pledged to blot
out this Ubiquitous law. which was
neither founded upon reason or JUS
tice, and to give to the nation a tariff
Din which more equitably placed the
burdens of our governmental expense

management OF the institution. If the
management OF the hospital Is capable
and faithful, as we assume Is the case,
IT could and should look after and
dispose os matters which are now be-
ing taken TO the board. We believe
those IN authority are capable and
deserve the confidence and support Of
both the Administrative Board and
the people Of Richmond.
On the conduct Of hospitals COM
plants and criticism are inevitable,
All hospitals expect them to have
them. This Is particularly true on
city hospitals devoted to charity
work we suggest that those in
charge Of the Virginia Hospital may

matters, but devote their time to the

HAS DEMOCRACY BROUGHT

When democracy in November

through which they might control the
Government of the people of the
United States joined with Thomas
Munsey Eascom Slemp. and men of
like catibre in prophecying hard
times with the hope Of this proph-
ecy becoming true in order at the
next election. to reinvest Republi-
canism with its former power and
authority. Under this influence. as
the business of the United States is
based on the credit and confidence
of the people in the central govern
