Charles p. Hatch, the Republican can
didate for State Auditor, is elected by a
plurality somewhat larger than that OF
Mr.. Fernald.
The four Republican candidates fol
Representative to Congress, Hon. Amos
l.. Allen in the First District, Hon. John
P. Swasey in the Second, hon. Edwin e.
Burleigh in the third, and Hon. Frank
Z. Guernsey in the Fourth, are elected
BY pluralities not much different from
those given in the same districts two
years since. In the Second District, the
plurality of Hon. John P. Swasey is
about 1900.
The next senate will contain % Re-
publicans and s Democrats, the Demo-
Gratis gaining one member. In the house
the Democratic minority of 81 in the last
legislature will be somewhat reduced.
Cumberland and Keunebec Counties,
which have been Democratic, returned
to the Republican column.
The Democrats elected the sheriff In
seven OF the sixteen counties.
The two constitutional amendments,
one providing for the initiative and
referendum, and the other fora vote on
constitutional amendments at special
elections, are both adopted.
In Oxford County, the entire Republi-
can ticket is elected by pluralities OF
about 400, except in the case OF the
sheriff, where the plurality is about 400.
As was the case four years ago, when II
succeeded, and two years ago when II
failed, strenuous effort was made to
elect Mr.. McIntire, and there was much
cutting on that officer, but not enough to
defeat Mr.. Hubbard's reelection.
The seven representatives-elect from
Oxford County are also all Republicans,
the only town in which there was any
considerable change from the normal
vote on these candidates being Paris,
where local conditions produced quite a
lot Of cutting.
The Senator and county officers elect
ed In Oxford County are as follows, all
except the county attorney and county
commissioner being reelected:
senator-Henry II. Hastings of Bethel
County Attorney-Ralph I. Parker Of Rum
ford.
Bethel
Register Of Probate-Albert d. Park of Paris.
Sherin-Hiram X. Hubbard Of Paris.
County Commissioner-Henry ID. Hammond
Of Paris.
County Treasurer-George NJ. Atwood of
PARA.
The county sends seven Republican
representatives to the legislature, none
of whom have had previous legislative
experience, as follows:
Stanley Bisbee, Rumford.
c. Howard Lane, Paris.
Orman L. Stanley, Porter.
Austin A. Nelson, Hebron.
Ten Brock W. Stetsop, Hartford.
Fred 8. Smith, Andover.
Fred II. Bartlett. Stonehsm.
Senator Hastings will be candidate
for president Of the senate, and already
has assurances OF support.
Elsewhere in this paper Is given the
tabulated vote of the several towns in
the county. The respective town clerks
have our thanks for giving us these
figures.

Than in 1906.
Oxford County All Republican.
Considerable Splitting Of Ballots,
without Result.

In one of the largest votes ever thrown
in the state of Maine, Bert NJ. Fernald OF
Poland was elected governor OF Maine
on Monday, Sept. IA. His plurality was
a little less than that of Governor Cobb
in 1905.
The election results furnish food for a
great variety of comment, each mans
conclusions depending largely upon his
point of view. To be perfectly frank
about the matter, it is probably safe to
say that the result was neither 30 good
a. was hoped, nor so bad as was feared,
on either side-that it is nominally salts
factory to everybody, and not regarded
with whole-hearted satisfaction by any
body. The Democrat ia not philosophy
ing on the matter at this time, but is
briefly stating results.

Was Movement in General List Of
Stocks--Seliing Was On
Moderate Scale.

New York, April 1.-THE active
interest in stocks today narrowed to
a group of securities of public utli.
ties corporations supplying New York
City. But the movement had failed
of sympathetic effect on the general
list, which was inclined to sag. Sell
ing was moderate but there was no
important demand to offset. Copper
securities suffered from some positive
depression on account of continued
declines in the price Of the metal. The
special explanation advocated today
for the decline was the resale from
China of some speculative holdings
OF copper bought previously. Dis
enlargement was perceptible over
