Progressives Join Hands and Defeat) l>eniocratic Governor. Portland,-Maine, Sept. ll.-Maine Republicans, reinforced by returning Progressives, won a signal victory at the elections to-day, They elected a Governor, an Auditor, two United States'Senators and four Representa tives in Congress, and wresting con trol of the State 'House of Represen tatives from the Democrats, will be able on a joint vote of tho Legisla ture to elect tho other State oillcers not chosen by popular vote. Carl li. Milliken led bis ticket, de feating Governor O. C. Curtis, who sought, re-election, by a plurality of approximately l ?1,000. The Republican drift extended to county officers, the greater number of counties choosing Republican county attorneys and sheriffs. Those ollices are important locally because their holders are charged with en forcing the prohibition law. The vote was heavy. The Republi can loaders say nearly all tho 18,220 Progressives of I wo years ago voled the Republican ticket. Hot Campaign. The election was the culmination ol* one of tho hottest fights ever waged in Hie State, and marked the reunion of the 'Republican and Pro gressive parties, whose differences in 1912 gave the electoral vote of Maine to President Wilson and two years later resulted in Hie election of Governor O. C. Curtis, a Democrat, by a plurality of 3,189. To-night's figures Indicate that the larger per centage of tho Progressive vote which two years ago was 18,226 was cast to-day for tho 'Republican ticket. McCormick o pt i m 1st ic. Now York, Sept. ll,-Chairman .McCormick, of the Democratic Na tional Committee, issued the follow ing statement: "The result of the election in Maine indicates a swooping Demo cratic victory in November. I have never claimed that we would win in Maine, because I realized that to car ry such a rock-ribbed Republican stronghold in a Presidential year would be practically impossible. "Wo havo materially reduced the usually large Republican majority al ways obtained on national issues in that State, and tlpat insures the elec tion of President Wilson in Novem ber by an impressive majority, just as a Republican plurality of 12,500 in September, 1892, prefaced the election of President Cleveland in November. "It is the first time United Stales Senators have ever been elected In Maine by popular vote and the senti ment as to national issues is to bo gauged by the vote cast upon the same issues in other years." And So Is Wilcox. Chairman Wilcox telephoned from Syracuse to Republican headquarters to-night a statement, In which he said the result of the Maine election meant a reunited Republican party, assuring tl?o election of Charles 13. Hughes in November. Lecture nt Providence. There will be a lecture at Provi dence school house (Cross Roads) on Friday night, September 16th, at 8 o'clock, by G. M.

'Many workmen were killed. I but tho number as yet is unavnila- | hie. I The span, weighing 5.000 tons, I was towed lo the bridge site this morning, and its placing bad been heralded as one of the greatest feats of tho world. Commission experts from the United States, Croat Bri tain ami Germany worked out tho plans. This is tho second catastrophe for the bridge in which lives have been lost. In 15107 a section collapsed following an accident. The Canadian govern mont called in world experts to complete the structure. The bridge was to be used by eight railways and would shorten the transcontinental trip 200 miles. Ninetty Men on Bridge. lt is estimated that 90 men were on the bridge at the time the span collapsed.
