HUDDLESTON GIVES
VIEWS ON RESULT
OF MAINE ELECTION
Foreign and Labor Vote to
Determine Result of No
vember Election, Says
Congressman

The results in Maine cannot accurately
election, according to Congressman
George Huddleston. Ee stated the
progressive vote had not been diverted
from returning to it's source, the republic
can party. The big moneyed interests
in the east are reported to be solid for
Hughes. In his opinion, the foreign vote
will determine the outcome of the ma
ton election.
''The result of the Maine election is, of
course, not encouraging" said Repre-
sentative Huddleston, but it should not
be accepted by any means as foreshadow-
ing the result of the national election.
Maine is normally republican and has
simply proved faithful to her gods The
progressive party having dsbanded, for
mer republicans have returned to their
former allegiance and democrats have
done likewise. The independent vote in
Maine has always been very small and
when the democrats have carried the state
previously it has been by virtue of local
issues.
The national election will be decided
by two factors, which are merely nomi-
nal in Maine. These are the foreign vote
states of New York, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois are controlled by the labor vote
and the foreign vote. This is especially
true of the great industrial centers. That
the working man and his sympathizers
are united upon Wilson to an unprece-
denied degree is an absolute fact. This
is not due to the railroad strike settle
ment, but to the action of the democratic
party upon labor laws and humanitarian
measures
The unknown quantity in the cam
paign is the foreign vote. Will the Ger
man-Americans vote solidly for Hughes
and will the hyphenates in sympathy
with the allies vote solidly for Wilson?
The answer holds the decision of the
November election.
These factors were lacking in the
Maine election and hence it cannot be
accepted as throwing much light upon
November results.
The big financial interests of the east
are practically solid for Hughes and the
republicans will not lack campaign funds
The republican party has slipped back
over a decade and Is now surely in the
grip of the most reactionary elements.
Penrose, Weeks, Root and those who
think as they do are in absolute con-
troll of the party The situation in that
respect is about as it was In 1900 when
Mark Hanna was in the saddle. Big
money will be spent by the republicans
in an effort to put their man over. This
was shown by united republican opposi-
ton to the corrupt practices act, which
would have restricted the use of money
for the corruption of elections.
But the times have changed and voters
are no longer sold like cattle in the
market The laboring man can neither
be bulied nor purchased and he will
register his honest convictions at the
polls in November.
"Undisturbed by other considerations,
the progressive vote will go back to the
republican party, from whence it sprang
This was evidenced conclusively in the
Maine election"
