Bradbury, democrat, 1929; Lewiston gives
Cony $50 majority, a net gain of from IT'S to
200 votes; Auburn gives republican gain of
rs votes. Intelligence from east of the Kenne-
bee shows strong republican gains. The vote
of Portland is not all in, but the majority Will
probably be over GOO republican. Returns
from six wards give Cony 22Ol, and Bradbury
1850, this being net republican gain of POI,
which will probably be still more increased
by ward Z.

Forty-one towns give Cony 1887, Brad

434, Bradbury and Jameson S,4S7 Union
majority this year 1921, against 1914 last
year. Union net gain 2,S77 in forty
towns; and the majority in these towns ex-
year.
PORTLAND, Sept. l5-l.30 A. M.-The re-
turns from one hundred and eighty-seven
towns give Cony, Union, 1886, and Brad
bury, democrat, 29,439; Union majority
14,0l6. The same towns, last year, gave Co.
burn, republican, 2S.920, and Bradbury and
Jameson, 24,439; republican majority then
of 44Sl, showing Union net gain of $685..
This includes about fve-eighths of the aggre-
gate vote of the state. The aggregate in these
towns is 1884 against SO, 359 last year, being
an increase vote Of 10 ,535, which will amount
to probably $4,000 in the state, making 1l3,
500 votes against So, 534 last year.
The towns to be heard from gave republi-
can majority last year of five hundred and
forty-fve, which would increase the majority
to fourteen thousand five hundred and sixty
one, or, if the gain is equal, to about fifteen
thousand and five hundred, which it will prob
ably approximate. The Union party have
probably carried every county in the state.
York county, which was carried last year
by the democrats, has undoubtedly gone
Union by $50 majority. There is some doubt
about Lincoln county, which sends one sena-
tor, but the Union men claim to have carried
1t.
Bradbury's own county has undoubtedly
gone against him, though equally divided last
year. The representatives, which stood last
year 10Y republicans to IA democrats, will
stand better this year for the Union party,
they having gained three or four as far as
heard from without losing any. The senate
stood last year twenty-six republicans, two
war democrats, and three peace democrats
This year it will probably be unanimously
Union.
We are greatly indebted to Mr.. James S.
Bedlow, superintendent of the American Tel
egraph Company, for throwing open his line
throughout the state for free transmission of
all returns, and to the telegraph operators for
forwarding everything they could obtain,
whereby we have secured nearly twice as full
returns as usual.
