ENROuTE WITH GOVERNOR
cox. WEISER, Idaho, Sept. 14.-Gov'
ernor Cox. in a statement here this
morning declared that the Maine cleo
ton was no surprise.
He pointed out that Maine went re-

majority was due to the augmented
total vote.
"The result in Maine is no surprise.
said the governor. The majority is
accounted for by the augmented total
vote. Chairman Hays went into the
state early and that clearly meant
Maine was TO be prepared as the pyro-
technical display for this campaign.
"But neither pyrotechnics nor money
can win this fight. 1t will be decld-
cd outside Maine. In the 1916 Sep
ten,ber election the republicans car
ried Maine, and yet in November
president Wilson carried thirty states
and divided the electoral vote in
West Virginia"

not reach ,Cox's train until late this
morning as the governor was travelling
