AS TO CONDENSATION.

1t took President Wilson G, 900 words
in which to tell the American people
how much he approved of his admins
tration.
"A masterpiece of condensa ton "ap-
plauds the Wilson press bureau.
1t will take the majority of American
voters just one word, or mark, to tell
what they think of his administration
next November and that word will not
agree with the presidents 5000.
When it comes to''mastery of con
densation" the ballot will give cards
and spades to Mr.. Wilson's message. =

"As Maine Goes, SO Goes the UnionY!'

In 1910 Maine elected Democratic
governor with a plurality of 8,753.
In 1912 Maine gave Woodrow Wilson
the Democratic nominee, plurality of
2,620 and elected Democratic repre-
sentative to congress.
In 1914 Maine elected Democratic
governor with plurality of 3,177, q
Democratic representative and Dem
ocratic senator.
In 1916 Maine elects a Republican
governor with a plurality of 13, 500,
four Republican representatives and
two Republican senators--a solid dele
cation.
The repudiabion of President Wilson
and his administration is complete, and
the return of the Progressives to the
Republican fold is assured.
After determined campaign by both
parties, conducted almost exclusively
upon the national issues raised by the
| Wilson administration, this election,
which brought out largest vote since
1880, swept the Pine Tree state back
into the Republican column with such
overwhelming force that even the Re-
publican county tickets are victorious.
The Republican gain over 1914 is
4 q, 900 as against Democratic gain OF
4 500 The Republican vote is 5000 in
excess of the combined Republican and
Progressive votes in 1912.
1t is not necessary to comment fur
ther on the significance of this event.
