Bryan today attributed the result of the Maine election yesterday to the return of a Large number of progressives to the Republican party. He issued this statement the Maine election while disappointing in the failure to elect our democratic candidate who is a very Able and progressive Democrat is not at All discouraging when we consider the figures. The democratic candidate came within a Hundred of the vote cast for president last fall. This is a remarkably Good showing when we con Sider that it was a special election. The Republican Victory was due primarily to the return of a Large number of progressives to the Republican party. At least the. Republican vote gained some thing Over and the progressives lost that much As compared with the returns last fall. The democratic candidate or.
