Lincoln Comfy Very Close but Probably
Republican.
| DAMARIscoTTA, Sept. 11.-Lincoln county is
very close. Connor's majority will be about %
| in total vote of about 1900. County officers
about evenly divided. Five of the six Repre-
| sentatives are Republicans.
Midnight.-Lincon county entire, with Mon
began and Southport to hear from, give Conner
| majority. Those towns will probably increase
it to 20. The county ticket is very close, but
| the Republican cand idates are probably elected
| with the exception of Senator. Hon. Almore
Kennedy of Waldoboro, Republican candidate
fer Judge of Probate, has 16 majority as far as
heard from, and is undoubtedly elected. Hon.
Isaac Reed, Democratic candidate for Congress,
received very complimentary vote in his town,
l running far ahead of the ticket. Five out of
the six Representatives elected are Republicans.

Democratic. Remaining towns last year gave
Conner 258, Roberts 2O5 votes. ALI the Repub-

jority of last year. We have carried every
Congressional District, have elected our county
officers in every county in the state with posi-
bly, two exceptions, have regained one county
which the Democrats have held for several
years past, have chosen 20 out of 81 state Sena-
tors, have elected from three-quarters to four
ffths of the Repre- sentstives to the state Legis-
lature. Our triumph is complete and over
whelming at all points. You will receive the

The Vote OF Bangor.
BANGOR, Sept 11.-Unusually heavy vote
here to-day. Connor 2eS9; Talbot 1892; Repub-
lican majority sea- gain of 4S1 from last
year. For congress, Powers (Rep) has 1921,
Donworth (Dem.) 1914, Oak (bolting Rcp.) 300.
E. b. Nealley, Lysander Strickland and Henry
Lord (Reps.) are elected to the state legislature
by only few votes short of Governor. For
sheriff, Jerrard (Rep.) has 1894, Hill (Dem.)
2035. Jerrard has incurred hostility for strn-
gent enforcement of the prohfbitory law and
was bolted large in Bangor and some in 9TH
er towns, but it is believed that the Republican
majority in the county will elect him by con-
siderable vote.
10 i'm he nssfr
Elected Doubtless.
But few returns of the Congressional vote in
Penobscot and Piscataquis, but outside of Ban
gor the boiling appears right. From Aroos-
TOOK a special from Houlton to the Wing says:
Slight towns, Houlton and vicinity, give
Powers relative gain of 2S1 over Pasted's
vote last year. He will carry the county, and
it is expected to elect the whole Republican
county Ticket
A Jubilee.

jubilee meeting at City Hall this evening,
cheering the returns and listening to- speeches

cans JubiianL |
ROCKLAND, Sept. 11.-Knox county, with the
exception of Matinicus and North Haven (not
heard from) give Talbot 1854, Conner 1919. The |
Democrats doubtless elect Senator and Clerk
of Courts. The remainder of the ticket is Re- |
publican without doubt. The Republicans |
have made gallant fight, and are jubilant |
over the result and celebrated the victory with
guns, fireworks, music, &c.
The election here to-day was very warmly |
contested, and the vote was more than 200
