lincoln, Sept. l3.-(Special.)-"If
the defeat of both candidates for the
United States senate on the demo-
cratic ticket in Maine, the defeat of
all four candidates on the same ticket
for congress, the defeat Of the demo-
cratic candidate for governor and the
election of republican legislature is
an endorsement of the administration
OF President Wilson in that state,
what kind of an endorsement of the
president will the election of Hughes
and republican congress bel" This
question was propounded at republi-
can headquarters today.
The Rival Claims.
Following out the claims of demo-
Gratis that the republicans missed out
on their expectations as regards ma
jorities in Maine, copy of the Port
land (Me,) Evening Journal of Sat-
urday before the election, received
by Deputy Land Commissioner En-
cry, shows that Chairman Hahn of the
republican state committee gave out
a statement that the republican can
didate for governor would receive a
plurality of $4,000 on a total republic
can vote OF 10000, while Chairman
Pattengill Of the democratic state
committee claimed plurality of 5000
on a democratic vote of 71,000.
What Returns Were.
The complete returns show that the
republican candidate for governor re-
ceived 1902 votes, while the demo-
cratic candidate received 66,547, me
republicans running about 1000 more
than the estimate of the republican
chairman, while the democrats fell
about $500 less than the claims of
the democratic chairman, so there
does not appear to be much comfort
for the democrats according to their
own figures.
Democrats for Hughes.
Charles Kibler Of Kearney was a
visitor at republican state headquar-
tiers today, having come to bring his
daughters, who will begin a course
at the University Of Nebraska. Mr..
Kibler is chairmanl OF the Buffalo
county committee and says that
things politically are looking exceed
ingly bright for til republicans. When
asked if he knew of any republicans
who were going to vote for President
Wilson, he answered that he knew of
none, but did know OF democrats who
were going to vote for Hughes.
Reports Gratifying.
County Attorney William Wen
strom of Saunders county, another
visitor at state headquarters, brought
information that political conditions
were decidedly favorable to the re-
pubicans in Ms county. There are
plenty, of Bryan democrats in my
county who will vote for Sutton, the
republican candidate, for governor"
Mr.. Wcnstrom told Chairman Beach.
Chairman Beach came in last night
from Hastings, Grand Island and Au-
rora. where he held meeting with
leading republicans, committeeman
and others interested in the cam
paign. He found conditions especial
ly pleasing wherever he went and
feels that with the good start made
and the sentiment rapidlyfcrystallzing
in favor of Mr.. Hughes, there is little
doubt but the electoral vote of~Ne-
lbraska this year will be found on the
right side Of the political ledger.
