TP HE year 191(1 will remain a most immemorial year in
politics. In no previous stage of the history of the
United States has the great game been so trickily played
oy every protected interest wlncii is opposed to the inter
ests of the common people.
Such widely distant and diverse issues as the peace of
i-jurupc mm ii'ijgioii in jiexico nave ueen aciuea as trumps
10 such cards as tne war between railway magnates and
brotherhoods, suffrage, prohibition, preparedness, pros
perity and platitudes. These are all carefully stirred to
gether by adroit campaign speakers and then handed on to
the consideration ot the intelligent voter.
. Evidently the intelligence of the average citizen is at
last actually on trial. Certainly it lias never before been
put face to face with so hard a test.
We are all honestly glad that this nation is not at war.
Whether words or deeds have kept us out, no man really
cares. We are grateful as a people for this era of extraor
dinary prosperity.
A presidential vote which will best prolong these two
most excellent conditions will indicate that the people as
a whole has the intelligence to eliminate foreign complica
tions from internal issues, and has the. wish and ability
to deal directly with problems involving the general wel-
rare ot tne nation.
To see through the cloud of foreign affairs and the
smoke and log ot domestic differences will prove
triumph of sanity for the average voter.
It will prove that the masses have at last learned how
to play the great game of politics successfully against the
classes.
THE MAINE ELECTION

Rector (going his rounds) ' Fine

fine!"
Contemplative villager "Ah, yes,
sir; 'If no was only all of tin as fit to
die as him, sir!"
TP HAT Maine lias gone republican is.almost as stimulat
ing news to republicans as-Texas going democratic
is to the democrats. Since 18;2 the democrats have never
had a majority in a Maine election. The republican ma
jority in 1904 was 3(5,807; in 1908, 30,584. In 1912 the
combined republican and progressive vote had a majority
of 23,92") over the democratic vote.
In 1914 a democrat was elected governor, but received
15,0-18 votes less than the republican and progressive can
didates. The progressive vote of 48,493 for Roosevelt in
1912 dwindled to 18,225 in the state election.
The interest in the Maine election centered in what
proportion of this 18,225 votes would return to the repub
lican fold on national iss'ueg. The combined republican
progressive vote of 1914 was 77,087. The highest vote for
a republican senator in Tuesday's election was 79,308,
showing a gain over the combined vote in 1914 of 2281.
Hut the highest vote for a democratic candidate for senator
was 08,273, as against a democratic vote of 02,039 in 1914, a
gain of 6234, showing that part of the progressive strength
went to the democrats.
President Wilson was not ballotted noon, and there Is
no doubt but that he is considerably strnnwr tlmn nnv
member of his party, and even in hide-bound, stand -.at
Maine, will poll a larger vote than anv of the lociil candi
dates polled. In the November election there is not likely
to be as large a vote polled as was in the state election--and
Maine is still far from being sure in the Hughes column.
A greater train of proirressive votes must ho mnilo W
Mr. Hughes than shown in Maine to insure his election, for
he must poll nearly all the progressives to win the presi
dency. The same division of votes in the rcallv doubtful
states, like Indiana and Illinois, insures the election of
President Wilson.
GOVERNOR ASKS
$60,000 TO COVER
STATE DEFICIENCIES
SALEM, Sept. 12. After the moat
bitter soBBlon of Its history a session
during which Governor Withycombe
charged Secretary Olcott and Senator
Day with conspiring to cripple the
flan industry, and Day In turn charged
the governor with falsifying the
emergency board adjourned at noon
yesterdny without creating a single
deficiency. The governor also charg
ed that the secretary and Day were
aided and abetted by the Portland
Journal.
The governor made the charge af
ter Secrotary Olcott had read an opin
ion from Attorney Ceneral Brown to
the effect that the emergency board
could not legally create a deficiency
for the flax plant, and after Senator
Day had questioned whether the
board could legally create deficien
cies totaling more than $50,000. The
attorney general held that the board
could not create a deficiency for the
flax Industry, because It was neither
a state department nor Institution.
Governor Withycombe said that the
flax failure, in addition to his other
chargeB, was chiefly due to lack of
co-operation on tho part of the pris
on officials. He named the warden
and deputy warden In particular, and
said they did all they could to make
the experiment a failure.
Requests were made for funds for
various purposes as follows: Flax
31u,000; state penitentiary mainte
nance, $2,,000; state training school
for boys, 10,000; state hospital for
tuberculosis, JG0OO; for returning
fugitives, $3000;. to pay supreme
court reporter, J2000, making a total
of $01,000.
Day el ted a provision of the con
stitution which prohibits the lending
of the state's credit in a sum exceed
ing $50,000, and questioned the au
thority of the emergency board to act.

SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 12.
(Correspondence of tho Associated

000. The seizure was made In tho In
ternational settlement and warrants

bo extremely humiliating for high
Chinese officials to be tried by a for
eign court, especially for the Chinese
minister of justice to be arraigned
to such a charge.
