Practically a Clean Sweep.
BY Perry Arnold.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Augusta, Maine, Sept. 12.-Maine was
back in the republican fold today with
what. on the face of return from SO
per cent of her voting precincts, showed
a republican majority of about 10000
in Yesterdays election. The republi-
cans were apparently completely victor
ious in gubernatorial, senatorial and con.
gressiOnal tickets.
But whether or not Maine s vote can
be taken as "pointing the way" to
what will happen in November was a
disputed point among politicians-be-
cause the republican majority was not
nearly what it used to be in the old
days of Frye and Eugene Hale and this
despite the fact that the total vote
probably will be the largest ever record
ed in the Pine Tree state.
The republicans were jubilant because
the issues of the campaign were almost
exclusively national and because Sen.
ator Charles F. Johnson, running on
his record as a Wilson democrat and
supported by the entire strength of the
democratic administration was domin.
ated by progressive prodigal who re-
turned in time, again to the G. o. Z.
fold Frederick Hale, son of former
Senator Eugene Hale. They found add.
tional satisfaction in the unexpected in
dications that republican apparentl,
defeated "Dan Mack ''-otherwise Con-
gresham Daniel McGillicuddy-in the
Second district where "a hours ago they
were almost admitting lack of hope of
turning out one of the most popular rep.
resentatives in Maine.
Normal Majority $4,000.
The democrats on the other hand,
pointed to the fact that Maine former
" was republican by $4,000. Governor
Oakley Curtis, in a statement at Port.
land admitting his own defeat by Carl
L. Milliken, republican, summed up the
democratic view when he remarked:
eff the republicans don't get a ma
iority of $4,000, Wilson is upheld"
Maine democrats were pointing today
to the fact that they have materially
reduced the usual Maine republican ma
iority on national issues and to the fig
ures for 1892 when a republican plu-
rality of 1880 in September did not
"point the way" to election Of Grover
Cleveland in November.

The republican committee exhibited
message from Governor Mccall, of
MASSACHUSETTS, declaring.
"The result of the Maine election is
an unmistakable. indication of strong
trend which belieye is nationw wide to-
ward the republican presidential can
didate." ~
1.-The vote does not represent the ma
iority the republicans have had in this
state in past presidential years. A
similar republican majority in 1892 was
followed, it may be remembered, by a
sweeping of the country by Cleveland. )"
"Then you don't think Maine will
point the way this year?" he was ask
ed. .,
Say Democrats Disappointed.
"Maine is normally republican-and
look what happened in 1892" the demo
cratic leader rejoined.
While belittling Maine Is infallibility
in forecasting the election two months
hence, democratic leaders were plainly
disappointed at their poor showing at
the polls. Democracy poured its strong
est campaigners into the Pine Tree
state. They started fire under
Hughes labor record, they preached elo-
quently how Wilson except the country
out of war" and they stood pat on his
Mexican policy. Five cabinet members
did missionary work.
The fact that the state issues were
subordinated for national questions in
the fight made republican politicians
here believe that the republican victory
really does mean something nationally
in the way of trend back to the party
which was ousted from power four years
ago. They pointed to the fact that
Ralph ID. Cole, chairman of the repub-
lican national committees speakers bu-
reau concentrated former bull moose
speakers into Maihe-Roosevelt Me-
dill Mccormick and others of that type
and made particular bid to welcome
the party that was "back into the
G. o. p. Maine voters, they said, used
their heads, because while the general
state and national tickets were over
whelmingly republican, the down east
erners elected democratic sheriffs, coun-
ty attorneys and other county officers
in all but two counties. They elected
these officers at home on local issues,
according to the republican view-and
they chose others who were to represent
them at the state capital and in con
gress on the issues of national import
ance.

President Wilson says that. There
Is only one choice as against peace
and that Is war" and, therefore he
argues, "the certain prospect of the
success of the republican party is that
we shall be drawn. in one form or an.
other, into the embroilments of the
European war" He says further, "A
very great body Of the supporters OF
that party outspokenly declare that
they want war" Making all due al
lowance for Mr.. Wilson's overpowering
ambition for reelection and for the
desperation which is his as he per.
ceives to how great an extent the
American people disapprove of his ad.
r'inistration. it is still appalling to see
the chief executive Of the United
States seeking to further his political
fortunes by such bald misstatements
of fact, statements which no one Of his
intelligence can fail to appreciate are
absolutely contradictory of the truth.
Mr.. Wilson's reference to "a very
great BODY" of republicans being out
spokenly for war recalls the incident
ct the man who remarked that he had
"a wide acquaintance in New Haven,
whereupon his friend replied, "Oh, ]
know. It's Judge Taft" II Mr.. Wilson
knows of Any such great body" 1t u
only a single individual and he prob.
ably would be hard put to name even
one republican who wants war. Fur.
thermore. Mr.. Wilson knows that war
is the last thing which Gov. Hughes
desires and that the assertion that his
election would result in involving this
country in the European war is clap
trap Of the cheapest kind.
