When all the facts of the Maine campaign in hand it will probably be discovered that the abEornial Republican majority there due in large measlpr thorough organization and ample funds to keep fire orsanzaton working. While the Demo cratic campaign speakers stressed the League O. Ma tons issue the prediction evidence is that the people could be induced to take great interest in problem On the other hand for two years Chairman Hays and a multitude of assistants, with abundant funds, have devoted more than years in organizing for the campaign of 1920 and in trying disorganize the opposition. The result in Maine is a very emphatic testimonial to the efficiency O: their work
 And this persistent and skilfu work and erea; campaign fund likely to have telling efec throughout the country. The very circumstance tha; took the propaganda, which it started before thr of the destroy the popularity and effort of President Wilson, long time to become effective will, following natural law that seems well eFtab iahed makes probable that it's effects will continu fol a considerable period
 With the funds and the able corps of assistants he has had at his command and the frequent trips he has made from ocean to ocean, MT Hays hae been able to catalogue all the grievances against the ad- rnstration which all classes and all elements have l ad or thought they had. He has devoted his ad mttedly great organizer to marshal these various elements into cooperating force with the object win the 1920 election in view. He has net attempted to organize constructive program fo the solution of difficult programs He has rathe made effective of diverse programs for their sOlu- ton. He has hestated to use elements that arc uhreservedly opposed each other He has accepted allies dissatisfied Big Business and dissatisfied radicals he has used the profteers and those whc have suffered from the high of living; he ha used the people who oppose Government control o. railroads and those who opposed returning the rail reads their owners; he has used those who though the administration made too soft a peace for Ger many. those who thought the should nave beeF carried Berlin, and those who think the peac harsh; he has used everything that would count in the fight to win the 1920 election

When capable make politics a business ard have ample capital they usually wiu-unless met by equally capable and like capital. When tho people are stirred sharply designed issues or ganization and capital may fail Sometimes political turnovers occur when organizations are besei wit. internal quarrels such those which characterized the Republican Party of a decade ago.
 The Democrats unable 10 rouse the people of Maine the election stakes sufficiently to oyer come the great ground movement that hal been go. underway by long and persistent orgsuizing It re- mains to be seen whether not the yigorous cam.
