QUOTES y
CARL E.. MILLIKEN
An edition of the Boston American ha

An edition of the Boston American has
the following:
Governor-elect Carl E. Milliken is
confident that Charles E. Hughes will
be the next president of the United
States.
Today he was attending meeting of
the executive board of the Foreign Bap-
fist Missionary Society in the Ford
building. He was very enthusiastic ov-
er the Republican results in Maine.
THE Republicans would have had a
larger majority in the election, but In
the smaller towns there was much mis-
understanding about the closing Of the
polls, he said. .,.. --
Maine is Just carried away with
Hughes. Not only what he said pleased
the people of Maine, but his appearance
made a great impression. He certainly
added much to my vote.
when the presidential election comes
off you will see Maine rallying as never
before in it's history. to the Republican
standard"
Never before in its history has any
Presidential election stirred the peo-
pie as this one has. Everyone Is in
terested. Everyone is talking politics.
Take my word for it, Hughes will just
sweep everything in the old Pine
State.
1T takes some time for the people
of Maine to get aroused. They are
naturally conservative in their emo
tons. Wilson's administration has so
many weak spots that the people of
Maine will easily rally around the
Republican standard and Hughes will
be our next President.
Maine does not like an unstable
man. To them Wilson is uncertain,
and that's why Maine will swing over
to the Republican side"
When asked if he had anything to
say about Bangor's open saloons, he
smiled and said:
Why, we are going to enforce the
laws. That means we do not intend
to have any open saloon. OF course
believe in a prohibitory law, and dur
ing my administration I intend to
have every law fairly and squarely
followed out. Anything more than this
do not feel justified in saying.
Il have promised certain things
during my term of Office and l am 60
ing to give what l promised"

HURLEY URGES
ESTABLISH COST
SYSTEMS TO MEET
F0REIC N TRADE

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 13.-Estab-
lishment Of cost systems by manufac-
turers was recommended as one of the
ing American industry to meet Euro
pean competition after the war by
Edward n. Hurley, chairman of the
Federal Trade Commission, in an adj
dress before the Ohio Bankers Asso-
citation here today.
Mr. Hurley urged that strenuous
efforts to increase American foreign
trade particularly by establishment
of branches of American banks
fcient and larger scale production of
European countries when peace comes.
"Out of the $4,000 corporations that
report an annual income of $4,000 or
over, half do not charge off a single
penny for depreciation. They even go
on paying taxes to the government on
inflated values and inflated earnings"
he said.
The trade commission has prepared
pamphlets describing fundamentals of
cost accounting and is prepared to
send experts to assist trade associa-
tons in adopting sound systems. Mr.
Hurley explained.
Comparing British and American
banking systems, Mr.. Hurley said;
1.-THE total capital and reserves of
the 81 British overseas banks exceed
$500 600, GOO. Although our domestic
banks, loan and trust companies have
a capital and surplus of $1,000, 900, 600,
which equals that of all the domestic
banks of all the rest Of the world,
combined, the capital and surplus rep
resented by our overseas banking is
less than 100000. We are permit
ting our commercial rivals to do our
foreign banking for us and to obtain
the profits and commercial advantages

TITS FINEW SAYS
T.R. OF maine VOTE
Gratified That Moose Followed
His Lead-C0nsults with
Chairman Tanner

Oyster Bay, Sept. 13.-Col. Roosevelt
Tuesday began the job of putting
more pep" into the Republican cam
the Republican managers.
During the day he received several
Republican leaders at Sycamore Hill
and was in telephone communication
frequently with Republican headquar-
tiers in New York.
The colonel was especially pleased
with the many kilograms received
from all parts of the country, giving
him most of the credit for the result
in Maine.
IT'S fine, fine! I am very glad"
grinned the colonel when asked for his
opinion on the result. Those who talk
ed with him said he Is highly graft
fed that the bulk Of the 1912 Progress
sive vote was found in the Republic
can column this year. He takes this as
an indication that the rank and file Of
the Bull Moose party are still follow
ing his leadership.
Frederick c. Tanner, Republican
state chairman, had a long talk with
the colonel. during which the state sit
uation was canvassed thoroughly. 1t
is believed Tanner made futile at
tempt to get the colonel to take more
active interest in trying to line up the
Moose voters for the state ticket.
w. Cameron Forbes, James M. Beck,
Senator William NJ. Bennett and Regis
H. Post were other visitors.
1t can be stated on the highest au-
thority there is no truth in the report
that the differences between Mr..
Roosevelt and former President Taft
are to be patched up, and the former
Presidents appear on the same plat
form in the interest Of the Republican
ticket.

The big distributors say they con-

than 10000 of the 100000 cows IN
the territory. These contracts are all
up for renewal and will date from
Oct. 1.
The result Of the struggle will not

the extra cent quart and deal with
the farmers through him. So far they
have refused. and are holding of in
the hope of making better terms by
dealing with the farmers direct.
The one-cent advance demanded by
the farmers means, according to tho

The weeks which have passed since the

have been marked by almost complete
cessation Of the discussion in regard to
resumption Of submarine warfare on the
old or new and more vigorous basis.
Non-partisan newspaper observers who

The administration Of Chancellor Won

In control Of the situation in this respect.
Should the submarine question remain
as at present and should he be assured
that no revival Of the underwater cam

he feels the need of a vacation.

GERMAN-AMERICAN
PAPERS ON MAINE|
Result Indicates the Success of
Hughes, Most of Them
Predict

Opinions Of newspapers printed In Ger
man in this city and throughout the
country on the result Of the Maine cleo
ton are given below:
NEW YORK STAATE-ZEITUNG-M
Cormick calls the result In Maine q glo-
rious Wilson victory. How glorious will
be the Wilson victories on Nov. in other
states, where there are German-Amer1can
NEW YORK HEROLD (morning edi-
tion)-The results show the writing OF
fire on the wall. which indicates the end
Of the Wilson administration.
NEW YORKER HEROLD (evening edi-
tion).-The political landslide which is to
be expected in November will be over
coming because then the Gerrnan-Ameri-
can vote, which did not enter into ques-
ton yesterday, will speak.
CINCINNATI ABEND PRESSE-Maine
has spoken and the answer shows plainly
what the result will be in November. The
country, from one end to the other Is
tired of Wilson's so-called policies. You
can fool the people some time, but not
all the time.
COLORADO HEROLD-It would be
1Olly TOT eltneE party "
the result Of the Maine election. Its ef-
feet on the November election is more
than problematical.
CLEVELAND WAECHTER UND
A NZEIGER-The people Of Maine are
average Americans. This year they
prove that the abnormal politica!
conditions which four years ago re-
suited in Mr.. Wilson's election do not
exist any more.
ST. LOUIS WESTLICHE POST
The result shows that the breach in
the Republican party has been healed.
Considering that in 1912 Wilson fell
short some 100000 Of the combined
Republican strength, 1t is not hard to
figure out what the outcome on Nov.
z will be. BY the way. the "hypnen'
cuts no figure in Maine.
NEW JERSEY FREIE ZEITUNG-
Maine has virtually no foreign popula-
ton and the election indicates clearly
the native born American thinks of
the present Administration.
PHILADELPHIA T A G E BLATT-
Maine has hardly any foreign born pop
ulation, while the decisive states in the
Presidential contest abound in such.
Considering that the tendency Of drift
ing away from the Democratic party is
much stronger with the foreign born
voters than with the natives. the Maine
election points to a decisive victory of
the Republican party next November.
