Possibility Of R1npbiieaa Majority Of
Over 10000.
Augusta, Sept. lavish fair weather
today Hon. Llewellyn Powers Republican,
will be elected sovegndr Of Maine by oyer
5000 majority, with strong possibility
that the figures will DO nearer 10000. At
least that Is what the prophets Of both
parties who have been figuring the vote
for the last three weeks declare. Chair
man Manley, of the Republican state COM
mittee, believes that the figures will be
the largest ever given in a presidential
year, and his Democratic opponents prac-
tically agree with him.
The Democratic managers declare that
the doctrine Of free silver was practically
unknown in Maine two months ago, and
they argue that the Democratic vote which
will be cast today means that the policy
has made great gainsin the last few weeks,
They declare that If the Republican ma
jority falls below 20, 900 1t will be a Demo.
cratic victory.
The governor is the only state officer
elected by the people In Maine, all others
being chosen by the legislature. The can
didates on the official ballot today are
Hon. Llswellyn Powers Of Houlton, Re-
publican; Hon. Melvin r Frank Of Port
land, Democrat Ammi S. Ladd of Calais,
Prohibition, and Luther G. Bateman Of
Auburn, Populist. The name of William
Henry Clifford, of Portland, the nominee
of the gold Democrats, is not on the ticket,
and those who wish to vote for him must
write his name on the ballot. In all of the
congressional districts Increased Republic
can majorities are looked for. Speaker
Thomas B. Reed, in the First district, will
probably be honored with the largest ma
jority he has ever received
