THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. THE ELECTION IN MAINE. In the recent election in Maine the democrats won the governorship, In creased their majority In the legisla ture, returned their congressman and poled eleven thousand more votes than were cast for Mr. Wilson two years ago. In a state that is traditionally republican and at a time when politi cal reaction Is naturally strongest, this result Is significant indeed. It is sig nificant not for Maine alone, but for the common country. The policies of the Wilson admin istration, particularly the new tariff law, were seized upon as Issues by both the republicans and the progressives who urged that the administration bo condemned and that upward tariff re v ion be demanded. On these points, the republican and progressive speak ers were in thorough accord, and there was a distinguished array of them— Senator Borah, former Vice President Fairbanks, former Congressman Mc- Call and Mr. Roosevelt himself, who assumed virtually personal charge of the progressive campaign. The tariff plea failed; the anti-ad ministration plea failed. The national record of democracy withstood Its as sailants, so stoutly, indeed, that the democratic vote exceeded by eleven thousand that of the presidential elec tion in 1912. It is entirely reasonable to sa;, as does the New York World, that tho result in Maine Indicates that “public confidence In President Wil- NEW WAR MAP FREE Chance for Every Reader to Get* Official Guide While the cannons roar, and the shells are dropping from the great aerial fleet YOU want to know WHERE and this ever handy GUIDE of the war will give you just the information you want.

As to the progressive vote, various views are held. Their decrease of some thirty thousand votes under thosa cast for Roosevelt In 1912 Is taken by some observers to mean that the third party Is swiftly crumbling to pieces. Others, notably the New York Timeß, believe that while the progressive par ty is not destined to a long life it is nevertheless hound to make trouble for the republicans. Of most lmpor tance,however. Is the fact that the democratic vote not only stands undl mtnlshed but steadily grows, and that Its national policies, that on the tariff as well as on other great Issues, in stead of arousing popular complaint are inspiring popular confidence and satisfaction.
