MAINE ELECTION VICTORY CLAIMED | FOR RENOMINATION) =< s.scu BY BOTH PARTIES Republicans Believe Results Signify National Success in November. By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve ning World.) WASHIN Sept right) Maine, 0 £ Nation’ —it's an old political siogan but for the first time in many years both Dow ind f chieft it can Maine Governor « nifles nat have cut ity of 1920 so extensiy made by doubtful Democrats in Btate, the a normally & ontrol of Cong esting as a reflection of What the Republicans really felt about the Maine election was the statement of John 'T. Adams, Chair- man of the Repubiican National Commit sued just before the More inte election than after, Mr. Adams cau tiously pointed out that “Maine, al though Republican, is not and added that 1p a good nd that a overwhelr the “Deni fight all along the ti number of Republicans who were schedujed to speak “had to cancel their meetings and remain in Wash- ington because of a press ‘of legisla- tive matters.” This guarded unguage simply Meant that the Republicans knew they would lose votes, but they did not know how badly they would fare smpared t ). ‘The Deme- the other hand, were pri- , for the swelled by 1 women. The Republicans Maine in 1920 for Harding by 6 which represented what would or dinarily have been a landsiide with $0,000 votes. Although final results are not available at this moment, if it should turn out that the Republican Majority for United States Senator was in the neighborhood of 20,000 to 80,000 this would mean the equivalent Of about 10,000 to 15,000 in the days When women were not voting. «There aro, of course, varying view- Polats on what constitutes a normal Republican majority in Maine, but the political history of that State shows that it has rarely gone Demo- cratic, so that the Democrats were about as far off in their calculations of victory in ..aine this year as they have been in the past with respect to rock-ribbed Penns tvania, Their most telling point, however, is with respect to the per we of Democratic gain over two years ago, They insist, of courge, that ae ame ratio of gain applied elsewhere would mean a na- tional victory. The Republicans are ready to admit this much—that the clections this fall will show Democratic gains in many parts of the country and that this is inevitable in a Congressional year, but the Republicans refuse to concede that the pereentage will be sufficient to capture either the House or the Senate. The argument, in a nutshell, re- Solves itself into what percentage of Democratic gain will develop this November, for both sides admit the conditions of 1920, when the country Was reacting from various {lls are Rot going to be duplicated in 1922. Many of those who deserted the Dem- cratic Party in the hope of findin something better are turning back t thety old affiliations, and even Repub- lican leaders will agree that certain districts which were swept into the Republican column by the Harding landslide will be found back in the Democratic columa, The party in power always loses Votes after a tariff bill is passed, and there have been many other contro- veralal issues which work against the Democratic gains—the big question ig how much and whether the symptoms of discontent in Maine ave acute enough to change the complexion of Congress. It's really too early to say, 4s Maine is the only Northern State where final elections are held in Sep- tember, PORTLAND, Me,, Sept, 12—Revised figures on the election in Maine yes- ferday, with 44 small towns missing, 5!
