t'iRc Tree State Republican by =
Good Majority.
Portland, Me-, Sept. 12.-Carrying
out its traditions of many years, with
but one brea.a, Maine went republican
the state elecsion yesterday by a
good old time majority. The repub-
lean state ticket was elected with all
four congressman and a great major
ity of the legislature. The vote wns
not quite as heavy asdn 1896, but ex-
ceeded that of the 1928 election by
many thousands. John Z. Hill, of Aus
gusta, was elected governor. Allen, in
Reeds old district; Littlefield, in
Dingley's old district; Bnrleigh, in the
Third, and Bontelle, insthe Fourth,
We're elected togcongress.
The legislature will meet in Janu-
airy and re-elect William z. Frye to
the national senate.
Returns from 24O towns and plantn-
.tions out of 312 in the state give Hill
'54,6iS; Lord, 3o,252. Same places four
years ago gave Powers, republican,
60,574, and Frank, democrat, 24,7S4.
This shows a republican loss of II
per cent and democratic gain of IS
per cent. On this basis it is estimat-
ed that the republican majority this
year will be about 32,97S.
