Maine Election.
Augusta. Maine. 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.
