the total vote was greatly increased
over the figures of four years ago, is
attributed by leaders Of both parties to
popular feeling over the operation Of
the prohibitory liquor laws.
Although the republicans elected
Governor Cobb and all the four con.
gressmen, and will have a working
control of the legislature the plurali-
ties were so generally reduced as to
cause surprise.
Governor Cobb and Congressman
Littlefield, in whose district the most
vigorous battle of the campaign was
waged, and whose majority was reduc
ed from that of four years ago by
several thousand, are OF the opinion
that the Sturgis law providing for the
enforcement OF the prohibitory law
providing for the enforcement of the
prohibitory law by state liquor depu-
ties was the leading fac tor in the re-
suit. The democrats made resubmis-
sion of the liquor prohibitory amend
ment to the people a part of their
platform, while the republican stood
squarely for endorsement of the pro-
hibitory plank and its strict enforce
ment.
The city of Lewiston was one of the
most important factors in reducing
Littlefeld's plurality, for it gave to
McGillicudy vote Of l,430 in excess Of
that given to Littlefeld. Four years
ago Littlefeld divided votes evenly
with his democratic opponent.
OF startling nature was the vote
for governor Mr.. Cobb failed to
carry his home city, Rockland, where
Davis received plurality of l.. Au-
gusta, the capital of the state went
democratic by small margin. Six
teen out of 20 cities in the state went
democratic. Two years ago, when the
candidates for governor were the same
as this year, Cobb carried Is OF the 20
cities.
