was no Progressive candidate. and the
Republican, W. II. White, Jr., won by

the First and Third districts the very
slight Republican advantages OF 1914
were converted into plurallties Of
thousands, and in the Fourth the Re
publican plurality OF 2,72G two years
ago was almost doubled.
National issues were paramount in
Maine on Monday, and Governor Cur

OF 3.l77 two years ago, could make
no Roadway against them and was
buried in the wreck. The Progress

party in Maine. almost all Of them.
That is what the plurality Of 10000

"Dirigo," the state which gave Wood

last national election. About 10000
votes we're pOlled in Maine on Monday.
New Hork's total in 1912, when Wood

ANALYSIS OF THE
MAINE ELECTION
From The New York Sun.

Analysis OF the Maine election re-
kurns, which are nearly all in, leaves
no room for doubt that national is
sues were paramount in the campaign
and that the result is an index Of
what will happen on November 4
when the nation votes for president
md members Of Congress. Well may
air. Hughes say. II don't see how We
ran lose now Independent observers
will agree with him.
II tho Democrats can get any cheer
put OF the retrospects or post-mortems
Of Maine politics to which they resort
FOR consolation. it is only by shutting
their eyes TO the rise and decline OF
progressive Republicanism in the last
four or FIVE years The fact that in
the days OF Blaine and Mckinley Re-
publican pluralities in Maine were two
DR. three times as large as the plural
lty recorded in the election on Monday
Is manifestly irrelevant. In those
times there had been no strong indie
pendent movement in the Republican
party and no great abyss between fac
lions in any national election. In
those times Maine never had two Dom
Dcratic senators in Washington, APP
pointed or elected by the Legislature
nor Democratic representative in the
House term after term. Patronage
has had something to do with adding
to the number OF Democrats in Maine
In recent years.
If we really desire to know how the
Republican party stands in Maine af-
ter the September election this year
and what the returns mean. compari-
sons must be made with the results in
1912 and 1914. The first thing notice.
able about the Maine September cleo
ltion figures this year is that both the
Democratic candidates for tho United
States Senate, Senator Charles T.
Johnson and Kenneth G. a. Stills, ran
about 1000 votes ahead OF the Demo.
cratic governor, Oakley G. Curtis, who
was up for reelection. Nevertheless
Senator Johnson was beaten by about
10000 votes and Dean stills Of Bowdolu
College by approximately 10000 votes
State issues of course did not enter
into the canvass made by the Demo
cratic candidates for the Senate. and
special appeal was made by Mr.. Wdl-
son's phalanx OF platform orators. In
rluding several members of the cab
met, to send Senator Johnson back to
Washington. He was known TO be nm
administration senator with patronage
TO distribute. At tho same time he
was man Of ability and character and
greatly esteemed in Maine II n Cleye-
land had been in the White House Sem
Ptor Johnson's chances would have
been much brighter.

The Guide, a copy OF which will be

method Of taking care Of enlisted

According to Reports Brought
to the Republican State
Headquarters Here.

Campaign managers at Republican
state headquarters are cheered over
reports coming In from all parts Of
the state as to constantly improving
party conditions. Many of these re-
ports are made in person. Among
the callers was Judge Reece Blizzard,
OF Petersburg.
Wood county is in fine shape"
declared Judge Blizzard, "and will
give her usual majority for the en-
tire ticket. The news from Maine was
an inspiration to our voters, and its
enect was instantaneous and noticea-
BILE. It was concrete and forceful
demonstration to the rank and file
that the country is headed strong in
the direction of n return to govern
ment under the direction of the Re-
publican party"
Col. Thomas W. Fleming, Republic
can candidate for Congress in the
First district, was another visitor at
headquarters. Col. Fleming had
Just come in from several counties in
his district and reported party con-
ditlons highly satisfactory. He ex-
pressed himself confident of the First
district returning to the Republican
column next November by an unmis-
takably large majority. He brought
news of the formation Of Repub-
lican club in Fairmont which had al
ready enrolled $50 and would reach
a total membership, he said, Of 1900
within the next few days. Another
large club is in process of organiza-

Lilly Men for Robinson.
"a great meeting was held for
Judge Robinson at Meckley," said
Houston G. Young, candidate for sec
rotary Of state, who came direct to
Clarksburg from the Raleigh county
capital. Raleigh county has rapidly
shaped up satisfactorily, he told the
campaign managers here. 1T is the
home OF Attorney General Lilly, but
his friends there have followed Cen
eral Lilly wholeheartedly into the
ranks of Robinson supporters, They
are sincere and they are active,
Leading party men there told me that
there is no need to fear for the Re-
publican ticket in that county and
confidently predicted that 1t would
give a majority of 1000 for the
ticket"
