The Democrats have carried the
state OF Maine
With a few little, obscure forest
towns and island plantations TO hear
from, additional revised returns give
Colonel Fred Plaisted (Dem.) 1911
votes for governor and Governor Bert
M. Fernald (Rep) $4,000 Plaisted's
total plurality is estimated at $500.
Revised returns show the election OF

trict by 200 OF Daniel j. McGillicuddy
(Dem.) in the Second by 5000, of Sam
uel w. Gould tDem.) in the Third by

in the Fourth by 800.
While the election OF Colonel Plais.
ted and two Democratic congressman
seemed a great feat. interest centers
in the makeup OF the legislature.
which has changed complexion.
Complete returns for the state sen.
ate show the Democrats have twenty.
one out of thirty-one seats The last
state senate was made up OF twenty
three Republicans and eight Demo
Gratis.
The Democrats have also elected
seyenty-one representative out OF a
total house membership OF 151. This
gives them within five votes OF ma
1ority in the lower branch.
With a majority OF eleven in the
senate, the Democrats are assured OF
the control in Joint convention of both
houses OF the legislature. which will
elect a successor to United States
Senator Hale.
No formal bid has been made for
the seat In the United States senate
which will be vacated by Eugene Hale
on March 4 next, although the names
OF Charles +. Johnson, OF Wateryille;
State Senator Lindley NJ. Staples. OF
Knox; William l.. Pencil, of Bruins
wick, who was defeated by Asher c.
Kinds in the First district; Ex-State
Senator Oakley c. Curtis, and Will
fam r. Pattengill Of Waterville. have
been frequently mentioned.
AS the legislature is captured by the
Democrats, II probably win mean the
resubmission to the people OF the
vexed prohibitory liquor law and a
chance for local option in the sale OF
intoxicating liquors.

so obnoxious 10 many. and was de-
nounced in the Democratic platform,
