VOTE in MAINE is THE
LARGEST IN HISTORY
Plurality Of Milliken Increased by Late
and Scattered Returns.

Portland, Maine, Sept. 12.-The
largest vote in the history of Maine
was cast at the state election yester-
day. The total vote will approximate
100000. In the last presidential year
and two years ago it fell below 142,-
900.
The receipt today of the vote from
the border and few isolated towns in
creased the plurality of Carl Milliken,
Republican, for governor over Cover
nor Oakley C. Curtis, Democrat, from
the indicated figures of 10000 last
night, to 1880. Indicated plurali-
ties for the other Republican candi-
dates were confirmed by a revision
of the vote. The Republicans have
solid delegations in both branches of
congress and easily control both
houses of the legislature. Vote of
Maine national guardsmen in Texas
was almost solidly Republican.
The Republicans elected two United
States senators, four congressman,
governor, legislature and almost all
the county officers. The Republican
vote was greater by nearly 5000
than the combined Republican and
Progressive vote of two years ago.

A NAN WITH A RECORD.

1t would DE difficult to find career
more wholesome and more thoroughly
representative of this land of oppor-
tunity and equality under Republican
institutions than that of Senator d. w.
Davis.
1t is out of his heart that there
comes the things that make ID. w.
Davis unusual among men. The fine
noble spirit within the man gives him
his cordial grace of manner, his swift
sympathy with his fellowmen, his gen.
erous partisanship, his magnanimous
foemanship and his love of country.
He is personally known and person
ally loved by many of the people of
the state of Idaho. When he ran for
senator at the last general election, he
was elected by the largest majority of
any man in southern Idaho. Good
stuff in man like that.
Deep in his loyal soul, ID. w. Davis
of American Falls, has held the hu-
man ties and obligations under which
he fought and won; he has never for
gotten the men who labored with him
and the men who rose with him. And
for the fellows who did not rise, d.
w. Davis heart is just as warm and
his hand is Just as ready.
Because he has won in the battle
of life by hard labor and unfailing
honesty, d. w. Davis has always been
a hard worker and a senator of sterl-
ing integrity. His diplomacy is and
1t has always been the diplomacy OF
directness and sincerity. There is
never any doubt as to where he stands
on any public question. He is abso-
lutely fearless IN the statement of his
convictions, and neither party caucuses
nor senate traditions, nor autocratio
chief executives embarrass or jntlmi-
date the expression of his honest views
Honestly bold and boldly honest, ID
w. Davis never flinches, but stands
by his game and guns. In whatever
office he has been placed he KEEP
faith with the people. No one hax
distrusted the honesty of any attitude
he has assumed. He is today the sea
soned man of affairs. In every posi-
tion he has been called to, whether
public or private, he stood out like |
lighthouse on a difficult coast.
Senator d. w. Davis would bring t
the governors chair the practical ex
perience surpassed by no one of hi
predecessors. No honest enterprise
need fear him. No dishonest schem
could hope to hide its face from tn
light or escape punishment-Pries

NINTH ANNUAL FAIR
BEGINS NEXT THURSDAY
Prospects Bright for the Best Exhibit
Ever Shown Here-Livestock De-
partment Big Feature.

The Ninth Annual Power County
Fair, lasting three days, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday OF next week,
will soon pass into history. More care
and thought has been given to the
collection and arrangement OF the ex-
bibits than In any year past, and a
more successful fair should result.
For livestock exhibits the associa-
tion offers 1915 in premiums and the
special premiums increase this to
about $460. There will be better ex-
hibitg than ever before, especially OF
pure bred cattle. Power county has
limited number OF cattle from the
best herds in the United States, OF
both beef and dairy breeds. No better
stock will be shown in the state than
can be seen at the fair next week.
Nearly every department has been
strengthened and every assurance
may be given that the fair will be bet.
ter than ever before.
