teen convicts in the State prison camp.
six are now known to be dead. a score
or more of prisoners and guards are
wounded and at latest accounts two
are still at large. This break was
planned by two men of a higher de-
gree of intelligence than the average
prison inmates. One was a contractor
and the other bank robber Accom-
rlices had smugsled three pistols to
them and they planned to make their

about a dozen others insisted upon
joining them. The actual break, 1t

convicts charged the armory Of the

The Result in Maine.

Maine has gone Republican, That
was expected. Indeed. had Maine elect
ed a Democratic governor yesterday the
country would have been astoundad and
the Democratic hopes for November
would have scared, The only question
involved. as bearing upon the presl-
dental contest eight weeks hence, was
how large a ajority the Republicans
would score in the State fight.
Eighty thousand is the present ap-
proximate figure. and it would seem
likely that 1t will stand as the final
result. There can be no doubling the
Republican trend in the Pine Tree
State. If there is anything in the old
political apothegm that begins "As goes
Maine" the result in November is fore
shadowed.
The figures Of the fight for the gov
ernorship are interesting With few
precincts missing this morning. the
count showed a rlargin of 79488 out Of
q total vote of 2099o6. this total being
somewhat less than in other presiden-
tial years. The largest previous ma
jcrity for the governorship was 65.346,
given in 1920. a year Of overwhelming
Republican success throughout the
country. In 1924 President Coolidge
carried the State by plurality of 9S,476
and majority over Davis and La Fol-
1ette of SS,034. In that same year Gov.
Brewster was elected by 1855. If yes
terday's gubernatorial result bears the
same relationship to the presidential as
four years ago, Mr.. Hoover is booked
TO carry Maine in November by some
thing over 125.ooo But this is hardly
within any conceivable reckoning.
Democratic reactions on the Maine
result are not likely to be comforting
1t may be said that yesterdays fight
turned upon State issues. and that ma
6onal questions had no part in 1t. But
that has been true always in the past.
and Names barometric reading in Sep
tennber has been. with practically no
exception, indicative Of the November
weather. Again, 1t may be urged that
Maine as pioneer prohibition State
is not fair index of the general re-
sponse to the present appeal of Gov.
Smith for election as an advocate of
modification and change in the ma
tional prohibition system: that in other
States his appeal for votes on that issue
will meet with a more satisfactory re-
sponse than can be expected from
Maine. Furthermore, it may be said
that the full strength for the presiden-
tial ticket was not turned out yesterday
IN Maine and that there is reserve
for the November count
These lines of reasoning may yield
some Democratic solace in the face of
the truly surprisingly large Republican
margin in Maine. but the general effect
OF this manifestation of favor for the
Republican nominations In that State
Is not to be discounted. There is gen.
1ine cause for Republican jubilation
over yesterdays result and for corre-
spending Democratic disbursement.
