Republicans Claim
House by so Margin
After Maine Results
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IS. -
The Republicans are able to estimate,
based on the Maine election that they
should carry the next congress by a
majority of comfortably more than so.
Fifty, indeed, is the minimum Repub-
lican majority of the next house that
can be predicted on the basis of the re
suits in Maine. 1t might readily run
as high as so or even 100.
This is subject to the qualification
that the trend is against the Republi-
cans. The Republicans themselves
know this is so and admit that every
thing that will happen between now
and November is likely to hurt the Re
publicans rather than help them. New
ertheless there is no possible way of
interpreting the figures from Maine ex-
cept as pointing to Republican con-
troll OF the house by large majority.
Gained Majority
In 1918 the Democrats and Republi-
cans in the lower house were almost
even. The Democrats had 209, the Re-
publicans 212. In September of that
year, Maine held an election for Gov.
ernor. The Republicans carried it by
a majority of 5,051 thereafter in No
vember the country as whole elected
100 Democratic Congressman and 24C
Republican ones, giving the Republi
cans a majority of so.
In comparing the Maine majority oi
1918 with the Maine majority of this
year it is necessary to double to former
figure because of woman suffrage hav
ing come into effect Making this
change we have comparison between
10,102 and upward of $4,000 the pres
ent year.
The inference that the Republican!
should be able to carry the house thi!
year by upward of so is unmistakable
One way of expressing what has hap
pened in Maine is to say that, where
as the Republican majority in Maine
in 1920 was about 80 per cent of tn,
total vote of the state, their majorit!
this year is only about IA per cen
