Republican. f ' i. .Augusta, Me., Sept. 13.--Maine went • i|(ck to the Republican fold by a de­ cisive margin in the biennial election ^ held on Monday. The Republicans * made a clean sweep, electing a gover­ nor, two United States senators, four congressmen and the legislature. The Republican candidate for gover­ nor, Carl E. Milliken of Island Falls, . was elected governor over the Incum­ bent, Oakley C. Curtis, Democrat, by about 12.000. With but 48 precincts out of 635 in the state missing, the vote H**s: Milliken, 77,045; Curtis, 64,879. Col. Frederick Hale, the Republican cfcbdidate for United States senator for the long term, was elected over Senator Charles F, Johnson of Water- TiUe (Dem.), by approximately 9,000 votes. Johnson's wide personal popu­ larity had given the Democrats great hope of his return. Ex-Gov. Bert M. Fernald of West Poland, the Republican candidate for United States senator for the short t$rm, was elected over Prof. Kenneth M. Sills of Rowdoin college (Dein.) ifrth 7,500 votes to spare. In the congressional election Louis S. Goodall of Sanford (Rep.) was elected in the First district over ex- State Auditor Lamont A. Stevens of Wells (Dem.) by 3,000; Wallace H. White, Jr., of Lewiston (Rep.) was elected over Congressman Daniel J. McGillicuddy of Lewiston (Dem.) in the Second district by about 500; Con­ gressman John A. Peters of Ellsworth (Rep.) was elected over Secretary of State John E. Bunker (Dem.) in the Third district by 4,000, and Ira G. Herzey of Houlton (Rep.), over Leo­ nard A. Pierce of Houton (Dem.) in the Fourth district by 5,000. Lincoln eeunty, for years strongly Democratic, turned to the Republicans. White had a plurality over McGilli­ cuddy of 473 votes. McGillicuddy's de­ feat was the surprise of the campaign. He carried his city--Lewiston--by 1,- 200, although he lost the city of Au- barn, across the Androscoggin river, by 300. ' The election of Fred E. Stevens <Rep.) as sheriff of Androscoggin couh- " ty, of which Lewiston is a part, was %f' • another surprise, as he stands on a .• platform for the strict enforcement of Pf'y* . ~ the prohibitory liquor law. f.£ J The election of Mr. Milliken as gov- ̂' eruor is taken to mean that Maine tW will see the strictest enforcement of the prohibitory liquor law in its his- ^ tory. In every speech made by him in the campaign, Mr. Milliken said that if elected, he would ask the legislature to give him more power to enforce the liquor law. • -The returns showed a Republican gain of 35 per cent ovef the vote of Kll4 and a Democratic gain of abo^gf *i*r cent -- The Republicans apparently cap­ tured 80 per cent of the Progressive vote, 20 per cent going to the Demo­ crats. Of the 18,225 voters who cast their ballots for the Bull Moose candidate for governor in 1914, approximately 15,000 appeared to have returned to the Republican fold. - With all but 90 of the 635 precincts the state reported, returns for gov- fnor are: Carl P. Mulllken (Rep.), 71,301. si*1 Oakley C. Curtis (Dem.)_ 61,003. jp3 The same precincts in 191& gave: I", ' * Heines (Rep.), 51,347. |V ; Curtis (Dem.), 56,345. |j£,- /•, Gardner (Prog.), 16,282. ,For United States senator the same i*;. .precincts show: *•/. t '<" Fernald (Rep.), 70,793.

Washington, Sept. 11.-^111 V atttte- ment issued following the adjournment of congress on Friday, President Wil­ son called attention to the "helpful and humane legislation" passed and de­ clared that while he regretted addition­ al legislation, dealing with the recent dispute between the railroads and their employees had not been completed he had every reason to believe the ques­ tion would be taken up Immediately after congress reassembles. Congress, which adjourned at 10 a. ia., appropriated exactly $1,626,439,210, which, with obligations and authoriza­ tions for the future, makes the total .$1,858,384,485. Just before adjournment. Represen­ tative Gardner of Massachusetts intro­ duced a resolution, which he an­ nounced he would press at the winter "session, for congressional investigation of organizations which it is alleged un­ der foreign influence have attempted to affect elections of congressmen. He named the American Embargo confer­ ence and the American Commerce and Protective committee among those he wanted investigated to disclose the source of their financial support and to determine whether they have violated the neutrality of the United States. The president signed the emergency revenue bill at 9:25 o'clock. Important acts of congress were trie ratification of the Nicaraguan and Haitian treaties, confirmation of Louis D. Brandeis as associate justice of the United States Supreme court, rejection of the nomination of George'F. Rublee to the federal trade commission, and the defeat of the Gore and McLemore resolutions to tie the president's hands in dealing with the submarine crisis with Germany. By far the greatest achievement of congress, in the opinion of leaders on both sides, was the passage of the preparedness prog ftim. This program was divided into six bills, which ap­ propriated a total of nearly $700,000,- 000 for the national defense. The rural credits bill provided a farm loan system and created a farm loan board to supervise the system. ' The shipping bill created a ship­ ping board and provided $50,000,000 for the purchase of ships. The child-labor bill places a ban. on the shipment of child-labor products In interstate and foreign commerce. The vocational education bill pro­ vides for federal aid to the states for training in agricultural pursuits and in the trades. The workmen's compensation bill fixes the compensation to be paid to United States employees Injured or killed. The go6d roads bill provides $80.- 000,000 for federal aid to states' in the construction of good roads. ' The eight-hour bill provided an eight-hour day for railroad employees engaged in actual transportation serv­ ice and provided for investigation of operations of that plan. The emergency revenue bill provid­ ed $200,000,000 for current expenses of the government. A closing act was passage of a bill providing for the purchase of the Danish West Indies for $25,000,000. The rivers and harbors bill appro­ priated $43,600,000 for improvements to the harbors and waterways of the country. This was vigorously op­ posed as "pork barrel" measure. The Nicaragua treaty provided for the payment of $3,000,000 to Nica­ ragua for canal and coaling station rights.

To hold "its place in the sun/' is the object of every business in the great fight for industrial and commercial supremacy. To be able to hold "its place in the wn," is the supreme test of an asphalt roof. It is the sun, not rain or snow, that plays havoc with a roof. If it can resist the drying out process of the sun beating down upon it, day after day, the rain or snow will not affect it except to wash it clean and keep it sanitary.

This outer coating keeps the inner saturation soft, and prevents the drying out process SO destructive to the ordinary roof. The blend of asphalts used by "The General" is the result of long experience. It produces a roofing more pliable than those which have less saturation, and which are, therefore, harder and drier. At each of the General's lug mills, exjrtgt chemists are constantly employed to refine^ test and blend the asphalts usedj also to experi* - . , n ment for possible improvements.
