THE MORXIXG OKEGOXIAy, MONDAY, XOTE3IBEK 13, 1916. PRECEDENTS UPSET IN LATE ELECTION Many Signs and Portents Dis credited and Traditions Set at Naught. OLD COMBINATION REVIVED South and West Again In Political Saddle Country Carried With out Xew York and Maine Fails to Point Out Way. CHICAGO, Nov. 12. (Special.) Hany records were broken In the Presi dential election and It may mean a turning point In America--, history. Political traditions were upset, prece dents nullifled, signs and portents dis credited. For the first time since Andrew Jackson, a Democratic President has freen re-elected In succession to himself. 1'or the first time a President has been elected without the vote of New Tor Kor the first time Maine went Repub lican in September and th country Democratic in November. wr Combination Made. Jackson won the Presidency by a combination of the South and the new West. Wilson has been re-elected by a combination of the Solid South, Ohio and the newer Far West. The Democratic party has abandoned traditional policies, such as opposition to a protective tariff. The Republican party, unable to unite completely lti liberal and conservative factions. Is re grarded by some leaders as In need of reorganization along new and definite rationalistic lines. Party lines were bent and shattered Jjy the complicated issues of the cam paign, but mostly In favor of the Democrats. Te President received much support from Progressives, yet he also carried that citadel of the Repub licans, Utah, one of the two states won by Taft In 1912. High-Water Mark Exceeded. In 1912 Wilson was elected with 1.300,000 fewer votes than the Repub lican and Progressive poll combined. In 1916 he was elected with 400,000 more votes that the Republicans and reaffiliated Progressives. Eryan, in 1896, polled a larger popular vpte than any Democratic candidate for the Presidency in the history of the coun try until Wilson, in 1916. exceeded that high-water mark by more than 2,000, 000 votes. In September a Republican landslide swept Maine, immediately after the passage of the Adamson law. The Re publican plurality was 12,000. Two months later the Republican plurality was reduced to less than 6000. In 1912 Taft and Roosevelt together polled 76,- 000 votes in Maine. Hughes received t000 fewer votes this year, while Wil son received 13,000 more than in 1912 The recovery of ground by the Demo crats after the September election was remarkable. Vote In New England Analysed. In New Hampshire, a Republican and Progressive strength of 60.000 votes four years ago fell to 42,000 in 1916, while Wilson gained 9000 over 1912, The rebellion against the "Old Guard" was pronounced in this state. In Vermont Hughes had 7000 fewer oim than Taft and Rocse-'elt. while Wilson polled 6000 more -han in 1912. Massachusetts, where the Progressive Republicans were still in revolt against Murray Crane, gave Hughes a plurality of 21.000. compared with the margin of 125.000 Taft and Roosevelt had over Wilson. Hughes lost 30,000 and Wilson gained 74,000. Wilson, In Connecticut, gained 25,000 over his 1912 vote, but Hughes had only 4,000 more then Taft and Roosevelt and won the state by less than 7000. Con necticut, with Its great munitions fac tories. Is a center of war prosperity, and, with its workers reinforced from other states, the Adambon law was popular. . JEWS URGEDT0 ACTION Oscar S.

He has been getting fre quent reports from Secretary Lane; Aged Kingston Woman Tells ,How She Recovered Her Strength. If the elderly people in Kingston could only realize what Vlnol would do for them we would not be able to get enough to supply the demand. Fol lowing is a letter received from Mrs.. A. K. Carson, of this town. She says: "I am 69 years of age. and had been Riling for a long time with Indigestion. I got run down, was weak, dizzy and could not sleep at night. I consulted two doctors who said I had hardening of the arteries and at my age : could not expect to be strong again. My daughter, would give me no peace until 1 tried Vinol, as It had done so much for her. I have taken five bottles and my health and strength have come back, so I am able to do all the house work for my family of four, and I am recommending Vlnol to all my friends." The reason Vinol is so beneficial to old people Is because it contains the very elements needed to replace de clining strength with renewed vigor, viz., beef and cod liver peptonates. Iron and manganese peptonates, glycero phosphates and a mild tonic wine. We want to ask every elderly person and every weak, run-down or debili tated person In Portland to call at our store and get a bottle of Vinol, with the understanding that we will return your money if it fail3 to benefit.
