REPUBLICANS SEE
VICTORY IN MAINE
BY 10000 MARGIN
Continued from First Page,

the voters Of this state want and are
determined to have a change IN the
conduct Of national affairs, and that
they are awaiting with Increasing i'm
patience September Is to register their
protest against the present democratic
administration. This will be voiced
In tremendous republican vote for
state and county candidates as an ex-
preston Of Names verdict
Il believe that on September IA
every republican and a great number
of democrats throughout the country
will be proud of old Maine.
Mrs. Guy P. Gannett, chairman of
the woman's division Of the republic
can state committee; Col. Frederic H.
Parkhurst of Bangor. the republican
visited every county and practically
every town of each county of the
state; and after tour of 1000 miles
by automobile l am prepared to say
that / have never seen so great in
terest on the part of republicans. or
80 much enthusiasm in the work OF
organization and preparation for get
ting out the vote as in the present
year.
Republican men have a splendid
organization, never in my memory SO
complete and active as now. The
women have a duplicate organization.
practically complete In almost every
county. and I find them everywhere
interested in the result of this cleo
ton.
After making careful polls in many
sections of the state l believe a ma
jority of the women will vote the re-
publican ticket.
Sent bar &c n1oa M dav
and the women vote as l am now con-
WINGED they will vote. l predict that
Frederic H. Parkhurst will be elected
Governor of Maine by a majority of
10000 to $4,000 votes, and with him
the election of four republican repre-
sentatives in Congress. a republican
legislature and every county but one "
Democrats Hopeful.
Louis ]. Brann of Lewiston. the
chairman Of the democratic state
|committee. today made the following
election forecast:
"The campaign which was drawn to
a close tonight has been in many re-
spects peculiar one. The republican
campaign has been energetic and well
financed. The records of the repub-
lican national committee disclose
that two weeks ago Maine had re-
ceived $4,000 from the national COM
mittee. and appearances would indi-
cate the contribution had been in
creased since that time. On the con-
trary, the democratic state commit
tee has not received any financial aid
whatever from any source outside the
state of Maine. This has compelled
US to run q very economical campaign
in contrast to the spectacular cam
paign staged by our opponents.
The advent Of the woman voters
has brought into the election so I'M
certain = factor that no one is justi-
fed in making any definite election
predictions. The action Of some reg
istration boards has been such to ex-
clude from the lists a good many
democratic women. all of the regis
tration boards in the cities at present
consisting OF two republicans and enc
democrat.
ION the whole. the outlook Is good
Mr.. McIntire, the democratic candi-
date for governor, has made a good
impression upon the people. and a
majority of the people of Maine are
undoubtedly in favor Of the peace
treaty. Many local issues, however,
will affect the vote. one way or the
other. in various sections Of the state
The total vote will reach nearly 900
900. and in my opinion will be fairly
close. Although II the voters vote
as they talk. Mr.. McIntfre should be
elected by a small plurality. and we
should have reasonable opportunity
Of winning In two congressional dis
tricts. The legislature probably will
be republican,"
