Greatest Victory in States
History Claimed by
Republicans.
PARTY CHIEFS ELATED
Important Effect Expected
on U. S. Elections ip
November.
BY KENNETH G. CRAWFORD
United Press star Correspondent

PORTLAND, Maine, Sept. IL
Republicans claimed today the
greatest vitcory in State history ir
Names "barometric" election.
Latest returns indicate that the
G. o. P. ticket had been carried into
office by a margin of more to l.
With only forty-nine out of 633
election precincts missing returns
gave: For Governor, William Tu-
dor Gardiner, CRep) 144,lO8; Ed
ward G. Moran, Dem.) 66,228.
For Senator: Senator Frederick
Hale, (Rep0 142,772; Herbert
Holmes, CDem0 65,448.
Majority Near $4,000
Mindful of the political tradition
attached to these September elec-
tions-"as Maine goes, so goes the
neutrality-suspicious. were elated.
Party leaders felt that the c. o. P.
showing in this State would have a
decidedly important effect in the
November election.
Indications we're that the Repub-
lican majority would exceed 10000
votes, and some predicted it would
be nearer 10000. In 1924, the Re-
publican margin of victory was only
$4,000, and in 1926 the majority
dropper to 10000.
Although political leaders had
forecast the heaviest vote ever re-
corded in Maine, it appeared the
total would not equal that cast in
the State election of 1924, the last
presidential year.
Indications were that the Demo-
Gratis would not carry any of the
States sixteen counties.
One Contest Close
OF the four congressional con-
tests, only one, that of the Second
district, had been expected to be
close. Returns from 1913 out of 145
precincts in that district gave Wal
lace H. White, Republican incum-
bent, 29,182, compared with only
12,195 for his opponent, Albert Be-
liveau.
In Androscoggin County, the one
county which Republicans believe
they might lose, Beliveau had a ma
jority Of only two votes with one
precinct to be heard from.

BY NEA Service

Rochester. N. T.. Dec. 1.-THE
invention Of the Telletypesetter-a
machine that will set type by tele-
graph or radio-just announced by
Frank +. Gannett, newspaper pub
Usher. and Walter w. Morey. of
East Orange. N. j.. brings to the
history Of printing one more great
levolutionizing influence.
The new device combines two of
the most amazing inventions in the
newspaper trade-the linotype ma
chine and the teletype. or telegraph
typewriter.
The linotype machine. as every
body knows. is machine that sets
type tn solid metal slugs of one line
each. Its invention did away with
the old method of setting type by
hand. which had existed since the
days Of Gutenberg, and made pos
sible the rapid printing of the mod
ern big city newspaper. The teletype
by which an operator in one city
can work a typewriter in city
across the continent, is beginning to
replace the old-style telegraph in
strument In newspaper offices, bring
ing greater speed and accuracy to
the transmission of news.
Uses Perforated Tape
This new invention - the Tele-
typesetter - combines these two
devices.
The operator Of the sending ap-
paratus has news story before
him. He copies 1t off on his ma
chine, which has keyboard like
that Of typewriter. This per-
forates a type. and the perfora-
tons govern the electrical i'm
pulses which are transmitted to
the receiving set in a distant city.
On the receiving set is another
tape. which receives perforations
identical with those on the tape of
the sending set. This tape is fed
through an apparatus which is
connected with the linotype ma
chine. and the impulses received
through the perforations in the
tape depress the proper keys on
the machine and cast the type in
the desired manner. For the con-
venience Of the editor. a type
written record ID made simultane-
ously. and there ia an editing per-
forator which permits him to

RADICALS TO BLAME

It is unfortunate that few radicals within their
ranks likely to subject all the Mexican laborers in
Imperial Valley to criticism and censure
The developments of this week not the kind
Imperial Valley people want, they the kind
that the better class of Mexican people living here de-
sire
While there is no dsputing the fact that in
cases-we are reliably informed they few and con-
tinually growing fewer-Mexican laborers have been
wronged by unscrupuous Americans, IN the main they
have little to complain.
They live under better conditions here than in
their own country they paid higher wages, their
children given the educational opportunities
as the children of American citizens, and few of the
aboring class contribute anything in the way OF taxes
to help defray the public expense.
1t is also unfortunate at time when a determln-
ed effort is being made to place Mexican ton
on quota basis-a movement which Imperial Valley
has fought-that roting should be threatened by the
Mexican aborers, making it necessary for the law TO
step in and discipline them.
By far the majority of Mexcans living in Impe
rial Valley appreciate the advantages which are theirs
and are content with things they are. Those who
are stirring up trouble have neither the interests OF
the Mexican aborer at heart the welfare of mpe-
rial Valley in mind 1t is to be hoped they will not
succeed in duping the MeXcans and they certainly are
not to be permitted to disturb the peace and prosper
ity of the valley.
