EW YORK, Sept. . SI. Leaders at Republican National headquarters here tonight expressed elation over the re sult of today's election in Maine, while those at- Democratic headquarters de clined to concede any triumph to the Republicans in carrying the state. Sec retary Reynolds, of the Republican Na tional Committee. Issued a statement In which he said: "The. result in Maine, especially In the Republican vote for Governor, Fhows-an absolutely reunited party. Carl . E. Milliken has received all the votes cast for the Progressive candi date two years ago, together with the "stay-at-home-" vote of two years ago. "Beot of all, the state has repudiated Fenator Charles F. Johnson, a member of the finance committee of the Sen ate which framed the present Demo cratic tariff bill." Chairman McCormlck. of the Demo cratic committee, issued the following statement: "The result of the election in Maine indicates a sweeping Democratic vic tory in November. I have never claimed that we would win in Maine, because I realized that to carry, such a rock ribbed Republican stronghold 'in a Presidential year would be practically impossible. "We have materially reduced the usually large Republican majority, al Tvays obtained on National issues in that state and that insures the election of President Wilson In November by an impressive majority, just as a Repub lican plurality of 12.500 in Maine in September, 1892, -prefaced the election of President Cleveland in November. "It is the first time United States Senators have evei been elected in Maine by popular vote and the senti ment as to National issues is to be gauged by the vote cast upon the same issues in other years." Chairman Willcox telephoned from Syracuse to Republican headquarters tonight a statement in which he said the result of the Maine election meant a reunited Republican party, assuring the election of Charles E.

Republican and Progressive leaders in Portland were able to vindicate their previous predictions of party success when the returns from Maine began coming in. last night. The Hughes'forces in Oregon had been- confident right along that Maine would go Republican by a substantial majority and the figures show that they had the situation fairly well gauged. The result in Maine reflects the trend of public sentiment, they say, and is an accurate barometer of popular feeling throughout the country. All Republi cans here give a large measure of credit - for yesterday s decisive victory to the activity of Colonel Roosevelt in the Maine campaign. Colonel Roosevelt's speech at Lmviston last week was one of the notable events of the campai and brought the vital issues prominent ly Before the voters, they point out. Carl E. Milliken, the Republican can ,. flidate for Governor, is a- so-called -Roosevelt-Republican, as are the Con gressional candidates. To these facts are attributed the almost wholesale support given the Republican ticket by the people who supported Roosevelt four years ago. "The Maine result ought to convince people that President Wilson has no chance for re-election. It is pretty well conceaea by both parties that the conn try at large will vote with Maine," said Ralph E. Williams, Republican National committeeman. "One thing that should Impress the people of Oregon is the conservative estimates of the result made by the Re , publican leaders in Maine. They said Milliken would carry the state by 12,- 000 or 15,000 votes and that is about the size of his plurality. "The victory is all the more remark t able, too, when it is remembered that the Democrats had contrbl of the en tire state organization. They have all the state offices, from top to bottom, and naturally used the machinery of this organization to help their candi dates. Besides that, they had advan tage of every Federal appointive of- fice. Thus they had a very formidable , organization and a big machine to start . with. But in spite of that, the Repub licans beat them. .1 can't see how the Democratic party can gain one whit of consolation from the result." Thomas B. Neuhausen. Progressive ; state chairman and vice-chairman of ) the Hughes campaign committee, like- I wise was-impressed with the returns, i "It will have a heartening effect on : the Republican voters of the country he said. "No doubt the presence of Hughes during the last three days of the campaign and the presence of Colo nel Roosevelt last week did much to bring doubtful voters around to the ' Republican side. It shows that the trend given the campaign by Colonel Roosevelt when ne accused the Wilson Administration of weakening the , patriotic spirit of the country struck , a responsive chord with the Maine peo- , Pie. "The fact that the Republican ion lnees in Maine are former Progressives doubtless induced nearly all the former ' Progressives to support the Republican : ticket. It shows, too, that the Re publican party is progressive, that it has accepted the Progressive doctrines and that all former Progressives can ' conscientiously vote the ticket this , year." It was a brilliant victory, but I ex ' pected it," said Senator I. N. Day. "If anyone had an idea that Hughes would not be elected this ought to force him '. to revise his opinions. "The country naturally inclines to th , Republican party and with a man of the Hughes type--at -the head of the party it naturally will command its . full strength. That means a Hughe ; victory and nothing else. The Main ' election proves it" "It is a clear indication of public sen I ! timent." said A. E.

Doubtless the peo ple of Maine are satisfied that the Republican party is progressive. The participation of Colonel Roosevelt in the campaign unquestionably influ- need thousands of voters. He has con vinced the Maine voters that Mr. Hughes is progressive, DANIELS NOT DISCOURAGED Secretary Says Majority Not Enough to Indicate Republican Victory. WASHINGTON, Sept. 11. Secretary Daniels, who took an active part in the Main, campaign, refused to be discouraged over the early returns rom the election there. If the Democrats had carried Maine by even one vote," he said, "the cam paign would have been ended and Wil son's election would have been certain. Up to the last National election the Republicans had never falied to carry Maine by less than 28,000 and generally by from 35,000 to 45,000. Even with the enormous deflection of two-thirds of the Republicans to Roosevelt in 1912, the Democrats Just squeezed through with 2600. 'The latest returns indicate that the Republicans will be lucky to get 10,000 majority this year, which shows a Re publican swing to Wilson that will in sure us the Presidential college if it is maintained by other states in November. 'Tie campaign of the candidates for the Senate and House were so compli cated by local Issues as to make this vote of small use in determining the feeling of the people on National is sues, although the splendid run made by McGillicuddy with no Progressive support to help him is most encouraging." tion "The political complexion of Oregon and Maine is generally regarded as a true index of the general trend of Na tional political sentiment. Maine's Re publican majority I regard as assur ance of a like result next November, both in that state and in the nation. "Although Mr. Hughes only had op portunity to visit the principal cities In Maine prior to the election, his visit, judging from the returns of to day's election, was productive of much good to the party. It solidified those elements which before might have been inclined to waver. "I believe Mr. Hughes' visit to Ore gon has also cemented more effectually than ever before all elements of the Republican party. In my mind there never has been any doubt of how Ore gon will cast Its vote in November. I am confident that this state, the first to Insist upon Mr. Hughes for the Re publican Presidential choice, will give hm a greater majority at the general election than it has ever given to any Presidential candidate in the past. "Oregon and Maine have pointed the way and the other states will follow in November." ENTERS CASE MYSTERIOUS WIDOW 9IAY KOW ABOUT MILLIONAIRE'S LOSSES. AS GOES MAINE, SO GOES UNION Republican Western Manager Says Democrats Can't Find Comfort. CHICAGO, Sept 11. "Maine gives the first appeal for a return to a protective tariff and the first answer to the Adamson bill," Alvin T. Hert, Western Republican campaign manager, said to night. "There is not even a trace of cold comiort for the Democrats in the re turns from the Pine Tree State. The Progressive party was strong in Maine, and the Democrats knew it and counted on the fact to bring them victory. The Progressives and Republicans are one in Maine today and as they are in Maine they are in the Unipn. The vic tory today assures us of victoiy in No vember. The victory means tbt Maine has enough of Wilson. It a so means that the Republicans are to gain con trol of the United States Senate and that Charles E.

Jolin A- a Republican Candidate Makes Plea for Ardent Patriotism to Assure Enduring Peace and Prosperity Through Guarantee of Safety. SYRACUSE, N. Y- Sept. 11. Charles E. Hughes cams back to his home state today to campaign. He addressed two audiences here, one at tne state fair grounds, the other at & dinner to night given in his honor by the Syra cuse Allied Clubs. At the dinner he outlined his views on American enterprise. I have no sympathy, ne said, ntn those who look askance upon carrying the American name and American in vestment to foreign lands. W should take pride in every extension of our commerce and the enterprise or our citizens which takes them to other lands. So long as they peaceably con duct their honest business, it is the duty of the United States to protect i their lives and property and American rights under international law. 'There is no other way for Ameri can progress. It is perfectly Idle to suppose that we can have an enduring peace and prosperity if we do not have an intense patrlotio sentiment dominant throughout our land, demand ing that the rights of our citizens shall be respected." Mr. Hughes reiterated his declaration that he had done- his part toward cor recting abuses In the past. And I should do it again, ne ae- clared, "as zealously and vlrilely as I know how if confronted with any abuse that needs correction." 'We have got to have a splendid stimulus in American patriotism," he added. "We have got to feel the thrill of National obligation; we have got to. revive the old spirit that gave us our country and saved our country; we have got to take pride in American achievement throughout the world; we have got to foster every American in dustry that needs it; we have to be so bound up in our patriotic desire for success that it is the one great idea above all others if we are to achieve real success for the United States in the 20th century." Mr. Hughes received the returns from the Maine election while at the dinner table, and evinced his satisfaction. He left later for Plattsburg to make the last address of his present campaign trip tomorrow. William R. Willcox. Republican na tional chairman. Joined the nominee here tonight.

The result in the 16 counties for local officers was: Fourteen Republican County Attor neys, one Democrat, one missing; Sheriffs, 13 Republicans, one Demo crat, one in doubt, one missing. The election was the culmination of one of the hottest fights ever waged in the state and marked the reunion of the Republican and Progressive parties, whose differences in 1912 gave the electoral vote of Maine to President Wilson and two years later resulted in the election of Governor Oakley C. Curtis, a Democrat, by a plurality of 3189. Tonight's figures indicate that the larger percentage of the Progressive vote which two years ago was 18,226, was cast today for the Republican ticket. Throughout the campaign in which a great number of men. from all parts of the country, and drawn from Repub licans. Democrats and Progressives participated. National Issues were kept to the front. The interest aroused, together with perfect election weather, brought out one of the largest votes ever cast in the state and possibly greater than has ever been known before. For the first time the United States Senators were elected by popular vote, and the Republicans made a determined effort, to win the one seat in the Sen ate and the single seat in the House of Representatives held by Maine Demo crats. The Democrats had claimed the state by 3000 and the Republicans by 15,000. MAINE GUARDSMEN CAST TOTE Two Battalions at Border About Evenly Divided in Election. SAN ANTONIO. Tex.. Sept. 11.

Scott, vice-president and general manager of the Southern Pacific, left this city today for Portland, where it is understood they will confer with northern officials over the present car shortage in Oregon.
