T,,e Election il, Bangor.
PORTEANA

u.o Damocrats of Bangor were confident
oeo,rrsing the municipal election, when LOOK
,,,ace in that city on Monday, and, to theif
credit be it said, nominated some oil Tue
strongest and best men OF their party Tor the
Offices. Their candidate for mayor was
James F. Rawson, Esq. who last fall was
elected one OF the Representatives IRON that
city to the Legislature; hut he was defeated
receiving 1915 votes to 1909 against him. Col
Charles w. Roberts, the Democratic candi-
date tor Governor last year, was up Tor Alder
maE in his ward (the 7th) Last September
he received majority Of 124 in that ward.
Last Monday he was defeated by IS majority.
Abraham Sanborn, another of the Demo
cratic Representatives from Bangor was can
didate tor Alderman in the Sd ward. He was
defeated by majority of 100. Gorham l..
Boynton, one Of the leading and most promi
nent Democrats of Bangor, was candidate
for Alderman in ward 4. He was defeated by
12l votes. That old political stager, Hastings
Strickland, was candidate for Alderman i'll
ward s. He had to knock under, the MAORI
ty against him being 172 And SO it was all
around. The Republicans slaughtered the
leaders Of the Democratic party, at the polls
without mercy. One solitary ward (the lst)
gave the Democrats 365 majority; The second
ward was about evenly divided and the other
five wards threw large Republican majorlties
All honor 10 the Republicans of Bangor
They have redeemed their city from the dis
grace which was cast upon it by its vote las
September. They have proved, incontestibly
that there is large Republican majority there
and that it only requires union in the rank
and energetic effort to gain Republican vic
tory.
We presume the Bangor Democrat of thi
week will not display its ROSTERS and its bi:
type in announcing the result of the election
The vote in Bangor last September stoo,

cratic majority COL. The whole vote thrown
then was 2749 Now, on a vote OF 1924, thu

The question of the Introduction of music

ported Monday evening as follows:
The committee to whom was referred the
consideration of the question OF the introduce

to report, that in their judgment The total ne
glect of the study of music is a serious defect
in our schools. The large mass of pupils are
thus deprived of the advantages afforded by a

the cultivation OF the voice and taste, and other
b4uefi IS which flow directly theretrom, wbl'e
