HEARING FROM MAINE


Yes, we have heard from Maine.
But instead Of the usual twenty-five
or thirty thousand Republican maior-
ity. we find only scant 1880 plu-
raiity for the Republican candidate for
governor and even less than that for
the two Republican candidates for the
United States senate.
Candidate Hughes says the result
proves that the Republican party is
reunited. How? Certainly not in the
respect that the total progressive vote
Of 1919 and the total Republican vote
OF the same year, which was 4S,493
and 26,545, respectively, as against 81 !
113 for the Democrats, are travelling

half or the majority OF the reunited"
party OF which Mr.. Hughes speaks has
sloughed.
In the campaign OF 1892. whe1
Cleveland carried the nation, Maine
