New York, Sept. 17. While no loyul republican but regretH the heavy democratic gains In the vote of Maine as shown by Monday's election the party leaders,' especially those who are devoting their efforts to gather ing In the money which is needed to finance the Taft campaign, find it an ill wind thnt blows nohody good. For the demoeralc gains Indlcato a strengthening vote of that party and loyal republicans who have hitherto been apathetic, now fearing for great er gains by their opponents have al ready awakened as Is shown by the Increase In campaign contributions at headquarters yesterday and today. The democrats allege Increased con tributions also. The republican campaign manager were sorry that the republican ma ' Jorlty in Vermont reached the propor tions It did. For the result was that the financiers to whom they appeal Imply laugh at requests for money. "You don't need a cent. You have a cinch," they are told, thereby add ing materially to the unhnppiness of National Treasurer Oeorge H. Shel don. Now, however, the Maine situation puts a different look upon the condi tion of things and money In not so hard to get. That is for the repub lican workers. Democrats speak of the 1900 fight, so fur ns they themselves were con cerned, as "the starvation and pov erty campaign." Hut this year the fi nancial crisis has fallen on all politi cal headquarters, and, comparatively, It is as severe ns the blow that tied tip Wall street last August and Sep tember, "The republicans have the best of us, for they can secure credit." mourned a leading democrat at the Hoffman house today. "We are liable to be turned into the street any old morning, and we hardly- have the price of postage stamps." The democratic national commit teemen In charge of eastern head quarters have hail several conferences on tho money question. Some wre on the verge of giving up the en deavor to make an aggressive fight in this part of the country, particularly as -they doubted the possibility of success. Others counseled making the best front possible "along lines of strictest economy," and this senti ment prevailed after many warm dis cussion. Make Poverty a Virtue. "We must make a virtue of our poverty," is the order of National Chairman Mack, and taking this as their cue, the democrats are trying to appear virtuous, while loudly admit ting that they are poor. Spellbinders on the stump will grow eloquent on the subject of poverty, and well they may for orators must be content with unpaid honor. For there is no money In the democratic treasury for speak ers this year. Almost the only contributions to the demoeralc treasury up to date have been the collection of small sums by western and southern news papers and the pools of pennies and dollars made up by enthusiastic Dry- After Buffering for seven yenrs, thin womnn was restored to health by Lydlft K.

It Is privately ad mitted that there Is not in sight for the entlro Democratic national cam paign more than $200,000, which will not go fur toward an aggressive fight. Much of the money gathered Is be ing used In Chicago for the Western cumpalgn. Eastern headquarters in the Hoffman House was expected not only to finance itself with contribu tions from this part of the country, but also to send remittances west ward. But hard times have fallen on the Hoffman House political managers. Contributions are few and small. The most noticeable absentees are the rich democrats who financed the cam paign of 1904 to the extent of $800,- 000. So far as Is known, not one of them has contributed a cent, and most of them are still In Europe. "Flngy" (Vinncrs Has Troubles. Chairman "Flngy" Conners, of the state committee, is also having his troubles. Nobody cared to contribute to his campaign fund until after the state convention I held, and the Iden tity o' the candidates established. Under these circumstances the demo cratic campaigners here are simply marking time. No literature Is being sent out. no meetings arranged, no speakers engaged. Everything was In abeyance pending the nominations. On the republican side there Is one great advantage namely, credit. Possession of that valuable asset, bred of rich funds and prompt payments In the past, has enabled both nation al and state managers to go ahead with active work almost regardless of the diminished contribution. All the machinery of party organization is kept up from year to year by regu larly employed staffs of workers. The democrats have been obliged to built up everything afresh out of ihe debris of past disasters. The re publicans hud a machine In perfect repulr ready to start the Instant steam was turned on. National head quarters In the metropolitan tower resembles a business establishment, with eich department running regu uar hours und filling In daily Its as signed part of the political game. There Is no confusion, no losa motion and no uncertainty of action. Every branch of the service save one Is free from trouble. The "room of gloom" is the treasurer's office, for the obligations are piling up. Ex perts figure that It costs twice as much to finance a republican cam paign as it does a democratic one. The latter have been accustomed to practice economy, und to secure vol unteers w hose only remuneration is political glory. Hut the late Senator j Hunna, with his rich campaign chests' of the past, and his lavish expend!-1 tures, put the republican machine on a1 different basis. i l.oiigll for llrjaii Senre. j There was talk of the necessity of: a Itryan scare to make Wull street j wake up and take notice, but the Maine election seems to have bad that sort of effect. Men who hadj been solicited for funds took refuge , behind objections to the law compell-! lug publicity, and its forbidding con-' trlbutlonr. Some of them went fur-! ther than this and professed an ac tual Indifference as to the result of the campaign. Today there Is adif-; ference. j The Hearst campaigners are also suffering from the pangs of poverty. Candidate Hisgen, who Is n wealthy; man, Is paying his own expenses In the tour of the 1'nlted States which Is now under way. He has made a; contribution to the fund In bis home, state (Massachusetts), but has clear-1 ly Indicated that he has no Intention of being an "easy mark." How much these llECEUT FOR IOVKIXK WEAK MILITARY UNIFORM There Is no use attempting to ac count for the certain fascinations that military uniforms have for the fem inine heart, but there's no denying It either, for a halo is promptly cast ubout uny stalwart youth and they are nearly always stalwart, who agree to don tho uniform of their country's fighting men and even If their fights arc but mlmlc ones, tho same halo radiates and enshrines the uniform In the heart of nearly every Ameri can maiden who boasts a spark of pa triotisni and where Is there one who roes not? Herbert Curler, who as Lieutenant Parkes In the "Royal Chef," which appears at the new Ore gon theater on Saturday, September 1ft, has made a distinct hit In the role, Is a magnificent specimen or man hood and wears a uniform like a ver itable West Pointer. Mr. Carter Is conceded to possess one of the best tenor voices In opera, Is magnetic and an actor of marked ability, The vis- It of this gay, glittering melange of mirth and melody to Pendleton has awakened unusual Interest and will doubtless score heavily with our play goers during Its engagement here. A Pnylng Investment. Mr. John White of 38 Highland avenue. Houlton, Maine, says: "Have bfen troubled with a cough every winter and spring. Last winter I tried many advertised remedies, but the 60c bottle of Dr. King's New Discov ery; before that was half gone, the cough was all gone. This winter the same happy result has followed: a few doges once more banished the annual cough. I am now convinced that Dr. King's New Discovery Is th. best of all cough and lung remedies."
