the presidency, the plurality in Maine
was 23,253 in 1888 for Harrison; 49,
TT for Mckinley in 1896; 2S,613 for
Mckinley again in 1900; 36,S0 for
Roosevelt in 1904; and 3o,5S4 for Taft
in 1908.
Since the civil war the democrats
have held the presidency only twice
before the election Of Woodrow Will
son-the two Cleveland terms. In
1884, when Cleveland was first elected,
the republican plurality in Maine was
10000; in 1892 when Cleveland was
elected for the second time, the re-
publican plurality in Maine was 1879.
There is nothing significant in the
Maine returns until the voter learns
first that the country districts have
been heard from, and second, by what
plurality the republicans have carried
the state, If they do carry it.
II the democrats carry the state, by
all political precedent the republicans
will lose the presidential election in
November. If the republican major.
ity is from 10000 to $4,000 the demo.
Gratis will feel encouraged and will 60
into the national campaign with re-
newed energy.
If the republican majority is above
10000 the republican chances for sue
cess in November increase-and the
greater the republican majority in
Maine, the better prospects for repub.
lican success in the national fight.

bates during the war; when the draft
sections were considered by congress,
as | have done, he will find that the
same question arose, and that afte.
a full debate on it, it was concluded
that the word, draft, was necessary
in order to give the president the
powers desired"
Mr.. Miller: could we not substi-
tute the words, call into the service
of the United States?'"
Mr.. Hay: There would be the
same trouble with that language"
Thus Mr.. Hay is on record to the
effect that the words, "call' and
draft" mean the same thing; and
that the words, cali and draft
mean entirely separate and distinct
things.
Past Experience.
1t is pointed out by those who OBJ
ject to the draft as a means of rails
ing armies that not only is the draft
tyrannous and oppressive, but that
historically it has never been neces-
sary. In the present war England's
official figures, given out last May,
showed that when their compulsory
service act finally went into effect.
England had raised 100000 men by
the volunteer system and there re-
NAMED only 100000 available in Eng
land, Scotland and Wales of military
age to be conscripted. During the
American Civil war, of the 1853, 1872
federal enlistments only $4,000 were
added to the ranks by the draft The
records Of the Confederate army
show similar small proportion re-
sulting from their efforts to draft.
However, what Huddleston and 9TH
er congressman object to is not so
much the draft, but the placing of the
power to draft in the hands of the
war department, instead of retaining
it in congress.

WHAT PARTY IS
TO CARRY MAINE?
State Election on Sept. II, and
Both Parties Making
Strong Bid.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 8.-The po
litical barometer of the United States
the state of Maine-wil forecast
victory or defeat for Hughes or Viii.
son in the election September II for
two United States senators, four repre-
sentatives in congress, governor and
other state officials.
Both parties have realized the po-
litical Importance of Maine, the one
state that now conducts it's congress
sional and state election before the
regular presidential elections in No.
vember. The effect of the Maine vote
on the country at large therefore is
regarded as exceedingly important.
Just what will the Maine vote indi-
cate? That question is harder to an
swer this year than ever before. be.
cause Of the complications caused by
the progressive party disintegration
and realignment.
The last political history Of Maine
shows that the state is normally re-
publican by from $4,000 plurality up.
ward. When the republican plural
ity falls below $4,000 the republican
managers have had to face possible
defeat in the national elections. And
the political barometer indicates that
this year will be no exception.
In 1912, Wilson carried Maine, get.
ting 51,113 votes to Rossevelts 4S,493
and Taft's 26,545, plurality in viii.
sons favor Of 1920. The combined
Taft and Roosevelt vote, however,
was 1895 in excess of the Wilson
vote.
Wilson's victory followed straight
out democratic victory in the off year
of 1910, when the democrats for the
first time since war times elected a
United States Johnson-and
also a governor by 1888 plurality.
In 1914, Maine elected a democratic
governor, Oakley C. Curtis, by 3, 1T
plurality. In that year, the progress
sive party cast 1926 votes. a falling
off of nearly $1,000 from the Roose-
welt vote of 1912.
Moreover, an analysis of the figures
for 1914 appears to indicate that so
per cent of this 81 900 progressives
went back into the republican party,
while 20 per cent went to the demo-
cratic candidate.
This proportion is significant. II
the $4,000 remaining progressives dis
tribute themselves in about the same
way in the coming state election, the
result would be the election of the re-
publican ticket by 1000 or less. 1t is
however, by the republican
that anything less than a
1 5000 to 10000 plurality for the repub.
lican ticket will be dangerous from
the standpoint of the national ticket
in November.

In addition to the total there were
authorizations for expenditures in fut.
ure years including naval, good roads,
tariff commission and other expendi.
lures to bring the total to approxi-
mately two billion dollars but these
amounts do not properly apply to the
appropriations for the fiscal year.
Miscellaneous Legislation.
In addition congress enacted an I'M
usually large amount of miscellanc-
Gus legislation, including re-organiza-
ton of the patent office; provision for
weight system for payment for rail
road mail service and leaving to the
interstate commerce commission de-
termination of the method and rate Of
pay; creation of national park bu.
reau in the department of the interior:
establishing warehouse regulations
for cotton and grains and providing
q new grain grading law; extension
for year of the government war risk
insurance bureau; uniform law max
ing bills of lading negotiable.
Proposed legislation which failed Of
enactment and has gone over until
next winter includes the immigration
bill; the corrupt practices act to limit
campaign expenditures for election of
the president, vice president and mem
bers of congress; vocational educa-
ton bill passed by the senate; conser-
walton legislation including the public
lands water power bill, the Shields
navigable streams water power bill
which failed in conference, the oil
leasing bill including relief for Cali
fornia oil men: a flood control bill
which passed the house, and a bill to
establish citizenship for natives of
Porto Rico.
Treaties Ratified.
Four treaties were ratified by the
senate. The most important was the
long pending Nicaraguan convention
providing for the acquisition of al
canal route and naval station rights
in the Bay of Fonseca for $4,000, 1000.
And that ratified in the closing hours
provided for the purchase of the Dan
ish West Indies for $25,000,OO0.
Another was the treaty with the Re-
public of Hayti providing for an Amer
lean financial protectorate. The much
disputed pending treaty with Column
bia after several years of considera-
ton was favorably reported from the
foreign relations committee with an
amendment reducing from $4,000, 900
to s15,OO0,000 the proposed amount to
be paid for the partition of Panama. !
The treaty, however, was never taken
up in the senate because of unrelent
ing opposition to it on thep art of
many senators and it remains on the
calendar. The committee at the time
of adjournment still had under consid-
Grafton the proposed treaty with Den
mark for purchase of the Danish West
Indies for S25,000,000. A treaty with
Great Britain providing for protection
of migratory birds on both sides of the
Canadian border was ratified. Death
claimed four members of the congress
during the session-Senators Shively,
of Indiana, and Burleigh of Maine,
and Representatives Brown and Moss,
both of West Virginia. Representa-
tive Witherspoon Of Mississippi died /
Just before the session began.
