LAaoR VOTE NOT DELIVERABLE.
This Is the Outstanding Fact Which
Political Philosophers Deduce From
the Defeat In Maine of Repre-
sentative McGiIlcuddy.

From among the numerous lessons
or conclusions which the political phi
losophers can draw from the Maine
election one lesson or conclusion
stands out more sharply defined than
any other. 1t jumps at you.
The labor vote, for the sake Of
which the Poltroon Congress. tarred
and feathered itself with its own
hands, only dozen days ago, Is not
deliverable by the traders who pre-
tended to sell 1t.
This salient fact of the election Is
illustrated conspicuously in the Sec
ond Congress district. There are few
places within the confines of our
republic where labor Is relatively
stronger than in the city of Lewiston,
the home city of Representative Me-
Gillicuddy, and he has made a spe-
cialty Of it In his own political prac-
tice. In the Second Maine, If any
where, would there be indications of
any return. in the shape Of votes, for
the surrender of Congress to the four
Brotherhoods. After campaign
which might almost be called desper-
ate in its effort to save McGillicuddy
and one Democratic seat in the House
from the Republican onset, Mr.. Nc
Gillicuddy was defeated by an ad-
verse plurality of nearly 400, whereas
he had been elected to the Sixty
second Congress by plurality of 1850
and to the Sixty-third by 1881.
