1 THE . MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTE31BER 13, 1920 MAINE VOTE HELD raw FOREGAS T Republicans Jubifant Over Outlook, Says Mrs. Upton. WOMEN LOOMING STRONG Ifc'cat of Democrats Indicated by Determined Efforts of Voters, Say Reports. CHICAGO, Sept. 14. (Special.) The republican victory in Maine-was taken by republican leaders today as a fore runner of a sweeping victory in No vember throughout the- country. At the same time they said that hard work would not stop through over confidence. No one was more pleased than Mrs. Harriet Taylor Uptonjice chainnan of the republican national committee and for many years one of the most prominent suffrage workers. "I'm so happy I co-uld throw my hat into the air a doaen times," said Mrs. Upton. "The Maine election proves ab solutely three things that I have been insisting upon for 30 years of active suffrage work. "First The Maine election demon strates that the women will vote when they get a chance. Look at them. Eighty thousand of them, according to reports, and other districts to be heard from. Don't tell methe women haven't sense enough and ambition enough to vote when opportunity is given them. Husband and Wife Affair. "Second The republican campaign In Maine was a hu6band and wife affair. Guy Gannet is the national committeeman from that state and his wife is state chairman for the women. There you are husband and wife entering politics together on the same basis, just as they live in the home. And see what they have' done by their united effort. It is juet a fine example of the husband and wife uniting for the good of Amer ican politics, as well as for the good nf America in the home. Carrying tho home into DOlitiCS the way it should be carried that's it. "Third Maine women showed that they are against the Wilson league of nations. The women want peace, but they don't believe the Wilson league ' spells peace. Maine women, to my mind, epeak the thought of a vast majority of the women of Amer ica." News Please Suffragette. Mrs. Upton was notified over long distance telephone this afternoon that both houses of the Connecticut legis lature had ratified suffrage, thus maiclnc- the 37th state to ratify. Mrs. Upton was deeply pleased with the news. She declared at once that thi flinched the 19th amendment, "This makes the wtn siaie. a-iuw there Is nothing in the way of women voting. Had Connecticut not ratified, there would have been some litiga tion, which would not have prevented 'suffrage but would have caused some .. - . . V . I. trouble ana embarrassment. a j w 19th amendment is ratiried as cer tainly as Oie 14th or 15th or any other amendment to the constitution. "It is a fine result. Coming right ort the heels of the Maine victory, it is all the better. This is a great day for us all. "Now that all question is removed, we can go ahead with our work much more effectively." Ira G. Hersey retained their seats ' and in the 1st district, where Louis G. Goodall (rep..) did not seek re election, Carroll Beedy of Portland (rep.) was chosen, 1 Every member of the state senate will be a republican, while of a mem bership of 151 in the state house of representatives, the democrats suc ceeded in electiing 15. In the last legislature there were two democratic senators and 41 democratic represent atives. - The vote of the state for governor, with returns from five small towns and plantations In remote districts missing was: Parkhnrst (rep.) 135,745, Melntire (dem.) 69,869. The increase in the total vote was very largely accounted for by women voting for the first time. The women showed themselves eager to exercise their new privilege. The result showed that most of them voted the repub lican ticket. Colonel Parkhurst gave the view point of the republicans in a state ment. He said the campaign had been "vigorously contested by the demo crats on national Issues," and that the outcome gave "most conclusive evidence that the. voters of Maine resent the autocratic and un-Ameri can administration that the demo crats have given us." He declared that it was "equally an indorsement of Harding and Coolidge." s PRMARY FIGHTTO BE BITTER Republican Factions Staging Biggest Fight in History. FOUR ARE IN SENATE RACE , Ham Lewis.

His service has been too brief to make any particular impression at Washington. He is a. banker. The fight between McKinley and Smith is part of a larger fight, which is one of the bitterest Illinois has ever known. It extends from governor straight down the ticket to the lowest' office. The contending factors are the Chicago machine, led by Mayor Thompson, and the state organiza tion, led by Governor Lowden. This s the first year in which these two organizations in Illinois republican politics have attempted to trespass on each others territory and the fight is extremely bitter. On the democratic side there are two candidates for the Senatorial va cancy. It is believed that a down state glove manufacturer, Peter Miller, will get the, democratic nom ination, but it Is believed that the republican nominee will win the elec tion in November. Aside from the senatorshlp. there is iVother aspect of this Illinois fight that is of national interest, if not of national importance. Because of com plexities in the situation too devious to follow here, it is possible that the outcome of the primaries today will lead to a situation which might re sult in bringing to the governorship of Illinois at the election m Novem ber that humming bird, of American politics, J. Ham Lewis. edented republican victory had ush ered In the campaign. The effect of . the polls was to spur up party members to select a strong ticket for the election in this state. Throughout the day in Seattle there were lines of voters waiting their turn at -the voting machines. The light democratic vote was not disappointing to democratic leaders, they asserted. George E. Ryan, vice-, chairman of the democratic state committee, predicted yesterday that the democrats would not cast more than 25,000 votes in the entire state, explaining that as there is only one contest for state nominations many party members would not go to the polls for that fight. Four years ago the democrats cast 35,562 votes in the primary 'election, but Ryan insisted there would be a falling off today. When the early reports came in from Seattle and King county polling places, Ryan de clared they justified his prediction and had no significance in regard to the November vote. In some city precincts the propor tion of republican to democratic votes ran as high as 15to 1. Challengers today declared they experienced little difficulty, as there was an apparent desire of party mem bers to call- for the ballots of their own party. inasmuch as an overwhelming ma jority called for republican ballots the inference drawn at party head quarters was that the republican precinct committeemen did not fear much of an invasion of their pri maries by outsiders. Two forms of confusion at the open ing of the polls were reported. In three precincts adjoining the city of Seattle where there has been a reg Listration of voters in and outside the city limits it was iouna tne election officials had not asked for enough ballots. They made the mistake of not counting the names on both poll books. McCOY NAMED FOB SENATOR Senator Smith Leading for Nomina tion for TJ. S. -Senate. COLUMBIA. S. C. Sebt. 14.

The case went to the jury shortly after 5 o'clock. Cullinan was accused of. stealing hides from the Norton warehouse after hours and selling them back to the same concern a few days1 later.
