REPUBLICANS
WIN In MAINE
Women Voters. Pile Up
Vote Against Will
son League

AUGUSTA, Maine, Sept. 14.-Re-
publican politicians declared today as
tabulatiOn increased the size of the
Republican landslide in the state
election that the Maine vote seals
the doom of President Wilson's lea
que Of nations. The league was the
big issue in this barometer" state.
The figure gave the first line on
the position of American wives and
mothers toward the international
pact. Women voters swelled the Re-
publican ranks in registering the
verdict against the league.
1T was the women who did it,
was heard ON all sides.
Returns from 592 election pre-
cincts out of 652 In the state gave
for governor:
Parkhurst, Republican, 1881;
Mcintyre, Democrat, 69,249.
Other precincts to be heard from
are obscure communities and will
not materially change the present
figures, tabulators said.
Democratic leaders refused to be
quoted on the cause of the Republi-
can victory, but they denied state
ments from administration circles in
Washington that lack Of Democratic
organization was the cause.
Frank ]. Ham, chairman of the
Republican state committee said:
THE organization of women, their
dissatisfaction with the national ad-
ministration, their fear Of the Will
son league of nations, and their re-
spect for the Republican candidates
gave Maine the largest Republican
majority ever known. The work of
the women of Maine will be an in
spiration to the women of the rest
of the country to help roll up
smashing majority in the nation elec-
tion in November" ...
Fully $4,000 women voted in
Maine for the, first time. OF this
number it is estimated at least 80
per cent voted the Republican ticket.
Republicans carried every one of
the sixteen counties.

Plan Explained to Create Revolving Fund,
Which if Properly Handled and Safe
Guarded Would be no Expense to Taxpayers
or State; One Appropriation Would Serve
Several Projects
RECLAIM EVERY ARID ACRE
Veteran Irrigation Expert Has Made Careful
Examination Of Oregon Law and Discusses
at Length Plans to Aid in Development of
Vast Western Empire. Government Aid
Too Tardy

EMMETT, Sept. 13.-"One oil the
easiest and most inexpensive ways
for the State Of Idaho to assist in the
reclamation Of her arid lands would
be to guarantee the interest, on ir-
rigation project bonds until the
water is delivered and the area
brought under cultivation
This statement was made by G.. B.
Mains, the supervisor of the Payette
national forest, who is the chairman
Of the Gem County Reclamation as
ISOLATION. which is part of the state
organization. Mr.. Mains has given
the subject of reclamation a good
deal Of thought, and his views are
both timely and worthy of the best
consideration on the part of the peo-
pie of this state.
Continuing, Mr.. Mains said, This
would mean that the state would
loan the irrigation district the money
to pay the interest on construction
bonds, issued, taking the districts
warrants in payment and holding
them until the land holder had, re-
ceived the water and could begin to
pay them off from the returns Of his
land"
Create a Revolving Fund
Such plan," said Mr.. Mains,
would not require large amount of
funds to initiate, and If properly
safe-guarded and handled there
would be no loss to the state or tax
payer. 1t would be in the nature of
revolving fund, the one appropria-
tion being made to serve several
projects thru period Of years.
"The state of Oregon has such
law and representatives Of bonding
houses inform me that Oregon fri
cation bonds are the easiest to sell
and bring the highest price Of any
they handle" {
Reclaim Every Arid Acre
Mr.. Mains is personally familiar
with most Of the large watersheds of
Idaho and is thoroly convinced that
If properly conserved and distributed
that there is sufficient water avail
able to reclaim every arid acre of
land within the borders Of the state.
He Is also acquainted with the plant
life and rainfall conditions on much
Of the overcut lands up northern
Idaho and believes that when cleared
Of stumps and down timber, they will
prove even more fertile than the
neighboring prairie lands of the
Palouse. y
II am in hearty sympathy with the
aims Of the Idaho Reclamation asso-
citation and that practical dreamer |
who is leading it, Major Fred Reed"
Mr.. Mains said. "In the meantime,
while we are working and waiting |
for federal aid, there is much we can |

Louisville KY, June 3.-Harder

vioiators who have covetous eyes on
the 100000 900 gallons of whiskey in
Kentucky bonded warehouses.
Recent disclosures indicate that
permits from prohibition directors of
other states to take whiskey from
Kentucky have sometimes been
changed to make it appear that a
greater quantity could be removed
than was authorized.
Contemplated changes in the per-
nit system include the use of devices
similar to those used on bank checks.
Moreover, according to statements
from the Office of Elwood Hamilton,
collector of internal ven for Ken
lucky, permits should be kept con-
tinuously in the hands Of government
officials and not given directly to the
applicant, as the custom has been.
