THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDKESDAY. SEPTEMBER 13, laio, Nebraska ETURN OF MAINE PLEASES OFFICIALS Secretary Beebe of Republican Committee See Revolt 1 Against Tariff Law. DEMOS DEEP IN .DUMPS ' (Prom a Stiff Correspondent ) '' Lincoln, Sept. 12. (Special.) The election result in Maine has caused jubilation at republican state head quarters at the Lindell hotel. At the Lincoln, where the democrats are at tempting (to do business, there is a correspending gloom. , v Chairman. Beach is out in the state, but Secretary Beebe and the office force are all smiles. The officials of the committee feel that the result in Maine is a (rue indication of what the people are thinking about just now and a forerunner of republican victory in November. "Senator Tohnson. who was defeat ed for re-election, was a very popular an in nu state, said Secretary Beebe. i'Probably no democrat in that state had a better chance to win an election, but he was a member of the committee which drew up the Under wood tariff bill, and the election has shown that the people know all the apparent prosperity we are having is not because of the new tariff bill, but because of conditions on account of the war in Europe. The defeat of the democratic candidate for the United States senate in Maine was simply a revolt against that kind of a tariff bill and indicates that the voter un derstands the situation. What is true in Maine will also apply in Nebraska. No Consolation for Dems. "I fail to see anything in the elec tion there which could give democrats any consoISTion, unless it be the fact that it wasn't any worse. It appears to me that the fact that every repre sentative in congress who supported President Wilson and his policies was detected looks very much like a re pudiation of the president. It is not so much the amount of the majority against those candidates as the fact that making their campaign, backed by an army of the best democratic speakers in the country, on a platform of supporting President Wilson, every one ot them was defeated. "For the first time in the history t . i. . . r i t , . , it, the people had the chance to vote directly for a United States senator. nd while Mr. Johnson was a mighty popular man with the people, on that kind of an issue, he went down to defeat, and at the hands of the peo ple, who for the first time were given a chance to express their views on the situation by their vote on senator. "It simply shows the people' of Maine have repudiated the democratic congress which passed the Underwood tariff bill, their own United States senator . helped to frame, and the president who advocated its passage and then signed it. If the democrats can get any consolation out of that kind of a snowing, I am willing they snouid nave it. - Demos in Sorrow;' At democratic headquarters an air ot Kloom existed which even Ueorge Foxworthy, who was suffering from a severe attack of gout, could not overcome. A man with the gout was in good company this morning when he mingled with the officers of the state committee' and they all felt as cheerful as he did. They were trying to be cheerful, but it was a hard task and even though Chairman Langhorst usually wears a smile, it had a sort of funeral aspect today. Neither the chairman nor Secretary Sprague would give anything out regarding the Maine election and when asked to express an opinion adroitly changed h .-Kl.., . r -.. r .-, n , 1. .

',"..-. , WOMAN IS FOUND ; WITH BODY BURNED Bullet Holes in Room of Lucy Ooddard Indioate Pos sible Murder. SIGNS OF STRUGGLE SHOWN Bell-ans Absolutely Removes Indigestion. Onepackage proves it 25c at all druggists, Grand Island, Neb., Sept. 12. (Spe cial Telegram.) Fire was discovered last night in the home occupied by Lucy Goddard, aged about 35, and when the firemen were able to get into the house the body was found alongside the bed on the floor of the room in which the fire obviously had started. The greater portion of her body wat burned to a Crisp. Later the chief of police, sheriff and firemen found several bullet marks in separate doors and also a hole in the plastering, apparently made by a dish that had been thrown and lay on the floor near-by. While the first belief of the officers was that it was a case of suicide, the woman having been sick recently and somewhat despondent, the bulleri marks, known to have been made since Friday, when a relative thor oughly cleaned the house, point to a fight and possible murder, with the fire as means of hiding the crime. Relatives say that while the woman had been somewhat despondent, it 4vas evident from what she said that she wished to go away and no indica tion was ever given by her of any thought of self-destruction. Her hus band is said to have gone to Colorado some time ago. FREE TO ASTHMA SUFFERERS A New Horn Cur That Anyone Can Use Without Discomfort or Lostof Tim.
