Voters or Maine to the mum Der or
100000 or more went to the polls to-
day to elect a governor, two United
States senators, four representatives
in congress, state legislator and q
state auditor.
National issues have been brought
to the fore and party leaders brought
hundreds of speakers into the state,
Including former Justice Hughes, for
mer Vice President Fairbanks and
members of President Wilson's cab
met to persuade the voters to line up
with or against the national execu-
tive and the majority in congress.
Maine, however, is normally repub-
lican, and the democratic leaders in
sisted that something more than
scant republican victory would be re-
quired to constitute reputation OF
the administration, while a democratic
plurality, however small would be
accepted by them as an endorsement
Fighting for Progressive Votes.
Fair weather prevailed and this was
expected to cause a big vote, equally
desired by both sides. A governor,
auditor, four congressman. two United
States senators and a state legisla-
ture will be chosen.
The state officers are now demo-
cratic and that party has one United
States senator and one of the four
congressman.
In 1914 the progressives cast 1925
votes for governor. How their votes
would split today was a matter of dis
pute. Both sides claim they will re-
ceive sufficient progressive support TO
carry the election.
The polls opened at o'clock and
must close not later than 5 p. m.
Many returns will be slow, as some
twenty towns and plantations are with
out telegraphic or telephone commu-
nication with the outside. However,
the result should be indicated before
midnight.

OF ORGANIZATION

The resolutions adopted at the meet

Chairman Pence for their attitude
toward the local committeeman, and
for their failure to give heed to the
recommendations of local Democrats
for local federal appointments.
The resolutions adopted follow:
1--WE. the delegates elected from
Canyon county to the Democratic
state convention for the selection o.
delegates to the national convention
at ST. Louis, and for the election O.
a Democratic national committeeman
Resolve, that we indorse the ad

row Wilson, and reiterate our pride IL
the achievements of his administration
in bringing prosperity to our beloved
country, and in keeping the nation
free from the worldwide war nov
devastating all Europe.

turned over to incompetents. The same
leaders they now want to place III
charge of the nation.
These progresslves never thought
they could win!
They boosted that all they wanted
was to beat the republicans!
They knew what they were doing.
They and none others are the people
who are responsible for the disgrace
that has come upon the country, for
the suffering and the money losses OF
our people until the war gave many
industries temporary life.
People who would do what these
progressive leaders have done, who
would betray their country to crafty
spite, cannot be trusted. A democrat
is better by far.
And if it comes to choice Wilson
we will have!

Hughes is the High Man.
(Wallace Miner)

AS the date of the republican nation
al convention draws near the drift Of
republican sentiment throughout the
country becomes stronger toward the
nomination of Justice Hughes. While
there are radicals among the pro-
gressives who continue to shout for
Roosevelt and insist that he isc the on
ly pilot that can guide the ship of
state from the perilous rocks and
shoals which now threaten her, their
appeals receive little response from the
men in the ranks who are lining up in
solid phalanx with the party of their
first allegiance and are using their in
huence in support of the nomination of
a man who will command the support
of united party. Progressives who
have burned their bridges behind them
and republicans who have proved false
to the best traditions of the grand old
party may continue to clamor for the
colonel, but it will accomplish nothing.
A republican will be nominated by the
republican convention.
The most significant expression of
the sentiment of republicans through
out the country was recently obtained
by the Literary Digest. A poll of re-
publican members of state legislatures
was obtained, fifteen hundred replies
having been received from thirty-one
states. Three candidates received
four-hft Of the votes in the following
order:
| Hughes, 75S.
| Roosevelt, 275.
Root, 1873.
1t will be observed from these fig.
ures that Hughes received majority
of the votes cast and that he received
almost twice as many as Roosevelt
and Root combined. Another signifi
cant fact is that among the 81 states
represented in the poll, only Minneso
ia, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyo
ming gave Roosevelt more votes thar
Hughes. 1t certainly looks like Hughe'
would be the man, and if nominated
he will be elected by an unprecedented
majority

if there were no war furniture would

that a lower tariff results in higher
prices. They are not satisfied with
the high price and would kick against
the low price and lambast free trade.

view of the puzzled voter and cry
aloud: "The Democratic tariff did it. D
