Sept. 11 Maine R rpul hcans are jubil.nt over the election to congress of John Peters, .-.peaker ol the Maine assembly, to succeed the late Representative Forest Goodwin. Peters' plurality over William Pattangall, a Demo crat, is 553 John Lawrence, the progressive candidate, ran S.ooo votes behind Pattangall. President Wilson's plurality over Colonel Roosevelt in 1912 was 1456 and a I eavy Progressive loss is shown in yesterday’s election. The Republicans say it indicates disap proval of President Wdson’s tariff policy, bot Peters declares it merely means that the Republicans and Progressives have healed their breach. Last year the district was carried by the late Congressman Goodwin, Republican, over Samuel W. Gould Democrat, the then sitting members, by a plurality of 709. There was no Progressive candidate. Mr. Roosevelt, however, received in November more than 11,000 votes to about 5000 for Mr. Taft in the district and ran only 272 votes be hind Mr. Wilson. “A Wise Old Elephant” Big feature attraction at the G. and, This picture is ore Selig’s wild animal sensations. “Toddles’ the wonderful trained elephant ap pears in the cleverly enacted roles protector, love messenger, match maker, detective, kidnapper and so forth.
