Augusta, Maine, Sept. 9-The raucous

resounding through Maine today. Her
rock ribbed foundations are staggering
underneath the weight of words spilled
during the last few weeks, for on Mon
day Maine exercises her ancient pre-
rogrative of "pointing the way"
Forty-eight hours before the battle
of the ballots it appeared from the tone
of voices on both sides that Maine
would be registered partly in the repub-
lican column. Judging from predictions
from both republican and democratic
leaders, sifted down the republicans are
expecting victory but not a complete
one.
The democrats are still claiming ev-
erything and the confident tone of the
republican leaders falter just trifle.
The republican leaders today were
unanimous in declaring that the pres,
.ence on the battle ground of Nominee
Charles +. Hughes has worked tre-
mendously in favor of republican
vote.
Two weeks ago, republican leaders
here admitted today they were eonsid
erably dubious asHto the outcome. In
the interval, q flood of oratory probably
unparalleled in politics has been loosed
on Maine voters. The democrats sent
five cabinet members TO preach the gos
pei of Wilsonian democracy. Tonight

Democratic leaders do not discount
the moral effect of Hughes personal
