POLITICAL DRIFT REPUBLICAN.

The overwhelming victory of the Republicans tn Main* tiret con—rive evidence of the sentiment of the nation. The remarkable thing about the Maine election was the vote of the w©n«i. They supported the RepubHean ticket in such numbers that the normal Democratic vote of presnUrege days was only negligibly ineroased by the scattering ballots cast by the women for Democratic candiVerfly, the outlook for the RopubHcaßh hi exceedingly bright With Maine pointing the way the nation is assured a Republican national administration by an electton giving onproeedented majorities. The drift as shown tn the various films it ss et the last few weeks has also boon entirely in favor of the G. O. P. The election of Watson in Georgia was a verdict by southern Democrats themselves against Wllsonism, Democratic incompetence and farther, a vote against an un-Ameri-can league of nations. The defeat of Senator Moses’ opponent In New Hampshire was a further verdict against adoption of the Wilson league covenant. It is to bo remembered that these facts are of especial significance because the results represent the expreesion of women voters In every instance except In Georgia.
