PORTLAND, Me.-There was no
uncertainty in the voice with which
Maine today recorded her preference
for governor and her attitude on the
issues of the campaign generally, the
plurality given Frederick X. Plaisted
of Augusta, democrat, being decisive
ly large, while three of the four con-
gressional districts, which are Ordi-
narily republican, elected democratic
congressman.
Early returns also indicated that
the legislature might be democratic
and elect a democrat as a successor
to United States Senator Hale.
In the face of the sweeping dem
ocratic victory the republican lead
ers were overwhelmed with surprise,
and the magnitude of their success
astonished the most sanguine demo-

1t was the first beating the repub-
licans in Maine, the state of Blaine
