Maine Gives $500
in Republican Majority

Portland, Me-, Sept. 12-Maint
Republicans, reinforced by return
ing Progressiyes, won a significant
victory at the election yesterday
They elected a governor, two Unit
ed States senators and four repre-
sentatives in congress and wrested
control of the state house of repre-
sentatives from the Democrats and
will be able, on a joint vote of the
legislature, to elect the other state
officers not chosen by popular vote.
Carl E. Milliken led his ticket,
defeating Gov. Oakley c. Curtis,
who sought reelection, by plural
ity of approximately thirteen thou
sand, five hundred.
The Republican drift extended to
county officers, the greater number
of counties choosing Republican
county attorneys and sheriffs. Their
officers are important locally be-
cause the holders are charged with
enforcing the prohibition law.
The vote was heavy, as had been
expected, for the campaign had
been waged with a determination
not seen in recent years.
The country was searched out for
speakers of national prominence
and the greater number of these
battled on national issues. The fight
was particularly hot for the two
United States senatorships and the
four places held by Maine in the
lower house at Washington. Ma

Party Is Reunited
Chicago, Sept. 12.-"Maine gives
the first appeal for return to a
protective tariff and the first an
swer to the Adamson bill" Alvin
7. Hert, western Republican cam
paign manager, said today.
There is not even trace of
cold comfort for the Democrats in
the returns. The Progressive party
was strong in Maine and the Demo-
Gratis knew it and counted on that
to bring victory. The Progressiyes
and Republicans are one in Maine
today, and as they are in Maine
they are in the Union. The victory
assures us of victory in November.
''Maine Blazed the Way"
Portland, Me-, Sept. Senator

Hughes:
maine has blazed the way for
the rest of the country. We have
elected our governor. two United
States senator's, and the indications
point to a solid Republican delega-
ion in congress. The Progressive
party supported the Republican
lominee. A reunited Republican
party has become a reality in
Maine"

On that basis democrats might
we'll work for the nomination
Of Mr.. Moores.
However, there is something
in this world besides partisan
ship, particularly when that
partisanship is of a narrow va
riety. There is such a thing as
political justice and such a
thing as the desirability of eff
ficient men in office. On this
score Mr.. Olcott is logically en-
titled to a denomination. He
has been very efficient and
clear headed. His opponents
make no denial of these facts.
The fight against him is en-
tirely on factional grounds. He
has been too independent mind
ed to suit the machine.
Republican voters will not 60
wrong if they ignore advice
from standpat politicians in
both parties and renominate a
man who has a record that mer-
its approval.

son relating to submarine war
fare the German government
said:
''In accordance with the
general principles of search
and destruction of merchant
vessels, as recognized by in
ternational law, such vessels
both within and without the
area declared a war zone (the
waters around the British
Isles) shall not be sunk with
out warning and without saw
ing human lives, unless ships
attempt to escape or to offer
resistance"
That is exactly what this
government desired from Ger
many. 1t is true the kaiser
qualified his promise by max
ing it contingent in a measure
upon our calling Great Britain
to time for violation of inter
national law. Our government
then informed Germany this
country would accept no such
qualifications. The statement
was evidently received at Ber'
| lin in a friendly spirit and the
fact bears out the theory The
German reference to English
violations was possibly fol
home consumption.
At any rate the German
promise is in effect and if it il
observed in good faith all vii
be well. A reassuring feature
is the final acknowledgment
by Germany of having sunl
the Sussex and the statemen
that the submarine commando
has been punished for his ac
and for having misrepresente'
the facts to his government.

POLITICS VS.. MERIT

PORTERS of Mr..
- Moores for secretary of OF
state are making active
use Of democratic aid, quoting
freely from some democratic
newspapers and democratic
warhorses in opposition to Mr.,
Olcott and favorable to Mr.
Moores.
It is probable that from a
strictly partisan viewpoint the
democratic party in Oregon
would be benefited by the
nomination of Mr.. Moores by
the republicans. He is of the
old guard contingent and moth
ing is more conducive to demo-
cratic success in Oregon than
to have the old guard trium-
phant in the opposition party.

the astonishing assertion that the
man who doesn't pay taxes that Is

One Of the first questions asked by
intending settlers Of any state or

that prevail there. This is among the
most important things that help to
decide the question Of whether or not
the settler will choose that district for
his permanent residence.
