party lines have been ignored and both
Curtis Guild the Republican candidate
for reelection, and John 3. Moran. the
Democratic. Prohibition and Independent
nominee, have appealed directly TO the
people. irrespective OF party affiliations.
The keen interest in the contest between
the heads of the ticket and for lieuten-
ant-governor between Eben 8, Draper,
Republican, and F. Gerry Rrown, Demo-
cratic and Independent nominee, seemed
to make the leaders optimistic.
An early morning summary OF the vote
throughout Massachusetts indicated that
party lines were rent asunder and in the
gubernatoral contest II was generally
conceded TO be fight of Guild against
Moran rather than Republican against
Democrat.
Reduced pluralities for Moran in some
Democratic cities and towns and a con-
sequent gain for Guild and a stand-off in
uncertain cities were predicted. An excep-
ton in this connection was noted at Marl-
boro, which was carried by Guild last
year. Today IL looked as though the labor
vote would swing the city into the Demo-
cratic column
No one cared to hazard a prediction,
however as to the pluralities OF the whole
vote i'm the state.
In the Brighton district Il was reported
that Moran was receiving a big vote. The
North and West Ends were said to be
voting heavily for Moran. The Democrats
made a great showing I'm the famous
Ward district which Is controlled by
Martin Lomasney. South Boston and
Charlestown were not behind In turning
out big numbers. From Revere camo the
word that Gov. Guild was running ahead
OF his ticket and that he would probably
make a gain OF 300 over last year
Reports from the western part OF the
state indicated that the excitement over
the Guild-Moran contest as having less in
fiuence than in sections nearer Boston.
Great interest in the contest between
Gardner, Republican and Schofeld Demo-
crat. for congress in the Sixth district al
so was reported.
Both Gov Guild and Candidate Moran
voted during the latter part OF the fore
noon. Gov. Guild cast his ballot at a Back
Bay polling precinct. He was In excel
lent spirits and seemed confident OF the
days result
His brother. Courtney Guild. who was
with him said: This is great weather for

more than 10000 plurality IL will be a
great surprise"
District Attorney Moran was photo
graphed many times as he walked slowly
to the polling booth near his hotel I'm tho
South End. To a reporter he said: IL feel
very tired"
More than this he refused TO say. II
seemed an effort for him to speak at all
and his voice was husky.
Persistent reports were circulated that
Moran was being cut severely In several
OF the overwhelmingly Democratic dis
tricts.
The first town I'm Massac chusetts to be
heard from In today's election was Mash
pee I'm the Fourteenth congressional dis
trict, which cast IS votes for Guild to 3
for Moran. Last year IL was i3 for Guild
