The election in turn on S will ations of the voters. We suppose that it will be conceded that Gov. Smith cannot be elected President without getting Republican votes, for there are certainly more Republican voters in the country than Democratic. Gov. Smith’s supporters expect that he will get Republican votes on account of the things for which he stands—particuarly because he favors the modification of the Pro- hibition laws—and because of his personality Their expectations might have sound basis and yet there would be no reasn why Republicans in Maine would vote against satisfactory members of their own party for State offices. Democrats are not so hopeful of converting Republicans into Democrats as they are that Republicans, without surrendering party affiliations, may vote for Gov Smith for President. On the other hand, assume (a very improbably thing) that the Democrats would carry Maine's State election. That would not be any assurance that Maine would vote for Gov. Smith in November. Maine has been a Pro- hibition State since 1859. She beat the rest of the country to it by sixty years It is fair to conclude that Maine favors Prohibition. If the Repubican ale candidates were to prove un- satisfactory and the Republican majority next Monday would be smaller than pected, that would be no indication that Gov. Smith and his issues were partifulary popular up there We fear that' Maine is an unreliable baro- meter so far'as her State election is concerned —at least, for this year ate issues and party a THE HOUSTON TARIFF PLANK. Senator Curtis is wrong when he declares that the tariff plank in the Democratic National plat- form is a repudiation of the Democratic tariff record. It is true that it recognizes the principle of protection and, therefore, is different from the old Democratic slogan of tariff for revenue only But the Democratic tariff record did not justify the old slogan. The Underwood Tariff Bill recognized the principle of protection. The Hous- ton platform made a party policy of the very prin- ciple that was adopted by the makers of the Underwood Bill. It declares for a tariff that will ocver the difference in production costs here and abroad, and allow for a continuation of the higher wages that prevail in this country It opposes the Fordney-McCumber ‘I many of its sched the difference in the cost of m: and in foreign countries, allow iff which, in| ion to co les, in add wide margin for excessive profits. 1t is true that, according to Democratic theory, some Fordney-McCumber It to be reduced. It may be tariff schedules ou that scientific investigation would disclose that some of the schedules, if the Houston platform | principle were applied, ought to be raised.
