If the State election in Maine were really a barometer, showing how the presidential election was g.ng, history would be different. Hayes would have been elected by a landslide In 1876 instead of by a dispute vote, Hancock would have become presi dent instead of Garfield in 1880, Blaine and not Cleveland would have been elected in 1884, and Bryan would have defeated Taft overwhel mingly in 1908. Men in Maine vote for governors on State, not national issues, just as they do in New York. Nevertheless in many elections Maine hps supplied an indication of the la ter result. Generally iflitle ltavvi been landslide years, such as the years of the two McKinley elections, when an abnormal majority in Maine foreshadowed a great popular revul sion from Bryanism. As a rule, a majority of from 15, 000 to 20,000 in Maine has been consid ered favorable to the Republican chances in the national. In recent elections the Republican party has been so shot to pieces in that state that an abnormal majority was not to be expected, and the Republicans pre entitled to all the. satisfaction they will take from a majority whlcn, if much less than they have received in other years, is more than they counted upon. It is plain that Roosevelt carried most of the Progressives with him into the Republican camp, tl appears probable, too, that more of the new voters supported the Republican than the Democratic candidates. It Is urthcr evident that the Republicans and Progress ves voted solidly and did not scratch their tickets much. This is apparent from the fact that the weakest candidate on the Repub lican ticket, Col. Hale, did not run very greatly behind his fellow candi date for senator, ev-Gov. Fernald. The Republicans expected Oale to be cut right and left, and hardly hoped for his election. His opponent was a strong popular Democrat, Senator Johnson. If it proves true that Mr. McGillicuddy, the only Democrat in ihe.. tg.-ess delegation been de feated, it will give further evidnce of this solidarity of the Republican vote. And the Republican vote, so far as Maine is concerned, must henceforth be underwood as includ- ng the Progressive vote, which has votes, and tnis year tne roue tlement was supposed to count in his xl i- -..i nnn.-icsW t- nAiint in hlC I favor. . The vote m Maine does not decide nresidential elections, and, save m landslide years, is no great lhdica ! slide years, as was demonstrated In ' 1908. it is no safe barometer. Such comfort as this elect on does give remains to be seen whether in other states the Progressives will return as generaLy as they did in Maine, or whether, as in lob, 188U, 1884 and Ma'ne h?s ere?: s?own ,1;hat she was out of step with the nation.

HANDLE CONCORD LINEMAN WA LECTROCUTED Price Two Cents Once Beautiful Vessel (By Associated Press.) Marsiield, Ore., Sept. 15. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company's liner Congress swung on her anchor chains at the entrance of Coos bay today a black and burned out hulk as the result of a fire which caused her to race for this port last night Every one of the 253 passengers on board and the crew of 175 were land ed safely. Several members of the crew who were overcome by smoke were report ed today to be recovering and none of the passengers were any the worse for their experience. All the ship's papers and valuables, estimated to be worth $70,000 were lost. The total loss is $1,300,000. The fire was discovered at about 3 p. m. near the second hole in the steerage cabin. No word was re ceived from the Congress, however, regarding the fire until near 5 p. m. At that time the steamer was running for Coos Bay. She came to a stop off the bay bar at 4:30 and at the dredge Michie soon was at the scene. Boats were lowered at once. The gasoline schooier "Tillamook arrived from the forward deck of the Congress where watchers on shore could see flames shooting as night fell, obscuring the burning vessel from sight. (By Associated Press.) New .York, Spt. 15.- Although union leaders have virtually abandon ed hope of an amicable adjustment of difFerenceis ltween sty-flcing em ployes and street railway employes, it was believed some action would be taken today to avoid the threatened strike of 70,000 union sympathizers. The Central Federation of Manhai tan will hold a meeting to discuss the advisability of a sympathetic strike that will "astound New York." The Brooklyn union has already vot ed for such a strike. During the n'ght violence broke out anew. Central elevated trains were bombarded with bricks and two men were injured. Service on the surface and elevated lines is prac tically normal. The executive committee of the So cialist party announced today that as a result of the strike the party would institute a campaign for municipal ownership of all transport lines. Horses' Keen Hearing Nomad in Boston Transcript. The ordinary immunity of horses from deafness is a great advantage to the human race, for the value of a horse who could not hear the com mand to go on or to stop and who could not be quieted, controlled and encouraged by the human voice when frightened or in difficulties, would be greatly lessened. The horse is really one of the best listeners in the world. He is always on the alert for sounds which concern or interest him. When he looks at anything he turns his ears towards it, to observe the better whether any sound comes from It. If a horse is particularly interested in your driving of him, he always turns his ears back toward you, but i,n, no concern on that subject, or if he sees anything ahead that interests him, he keeps his ears prick ed forward. A horse hears the whin ny of another horse at a greater dis tance than the average man can hear it. This comparative immunity is the remarkable from the fact that horses are often blind, or have defective pye s ght. We see blind horses every day, And always sympathize with them, but it is certainly wonderful how they get along so well. The guidance by the reins of course helps them great ly, but the Nomad is told by the para grapher at the next table that he once knew a pair of totally blind horses who were driven amongst stumps in ploughing rough ground, and always sympathize with them, the stumps as successfully as seeing horses could haved one. It is pos sible, that blindness is compensated for in a horse by a special faculty for feeling its way, just as blind people have a particular keeness of the sense of touch. There was an informal meeting of ; the directors of the Chamber of Com- merce lUmrsday evening, bu.t only routine matters were transacted. Mr. Geo. R.
