Maine vote hints at national path this fall
The Maine election outlook mirrors national politics as Republicans fear a Democratic sweep in November. Data from 1912 and 1914 shows large Taft Roosevelt rival blocs and shifting margins, while observers stress practical reform, municipal surveys at Chautauqua, and a push for federal vocational training in high schools. The Philadelphia Inquirer backs Hughes, denouncing Bull Moose dissidents as simply aligning with the GOP.
