PORTLAND, Me-, Dec. /. This city nearly
first time in 10 years, and as there was no
choice, the result is still in doubt. Although
Mayor Frederick E. Boothbay, the Republi-
can nominee for third term, had plural
ity of 246 votes, he lacked III of the neces-
sary majority to defeat Hon. Darius FL. In
graham, the Democratic standard bearer
and last Democratic mayor of the city.
There was no choice of ward officers in
two wards. Five wards were carried by
the Republicans and two by the Democrats.
According to the Australian ballot law a
special election will occur two weeks from
to-day, ana if the voters then fail to elect,
the mayor and officers of the two wards
will be elected by the city government. The
Republicans will then be in a position to
select their mayor and complete their
boards, if there is no choice at the special
election.
