DEMOCRATS CARRY MAINE
Continued from first page.

space and emphasis to the subject Of 10
cal prohibition.
The Republican leaders as d rule were
at loss tonight to account for Their
defeat The weather was perfect and
they offered no excuse on that line The
issues were well understood and most of
the speakers had confined themselves to
state matters, scarcely mentioning ma
tional affairs. Governor FeTnalds adj
ministration was stoutly defended
against Democratic criticism of extrava
gance and most Of the voters had an
opportunity OF seeing and hearing the
candidate. while q few out of-sta te
speakers including Congressman Nc
kfnIay of California. came here to help.
Close political observers. however,
early heard mutterings. The so-called
'old guard" had to stand lot of party
criticism, and even the leaders seemed
out Of harmony with new element
which had begun to manifest itself, es-
pecially in the western part of the state.
1t was hoped among the hackers Of the
administration of Governor Fernald that
this unrest would subside, and much de-
pendence was placed on the oldtime 10y
atty of the farming vote in the back
counties.
The victory of Daniel J McGillicuddy.
OF Lewiston in the I'd District was not
so surprising as that of Mr.. Gould in the
Sd, as Congressman John P. Swasey, "f
Canton. narrowly missed defeat IN his
first election two years ago McGilli-
cuddy served two terms as Mayor OF
Lewiston and has been prominent IN
party affairs for many years. He was
chairman of the last state convention.
In the 1st District Asher c. Kinds,
whose talents as a parliamentarian were
discovered years ago by Thomas B.
Reed. and who has sat behind half a
dozen Speakers. including Joseph G.
Cannon, had hard fight at the hands
of ex-Sherif William NJ. Pennell. Con
gresham Frank Z. Guernsey, Of Dover
was opposed 10 George NJ. Hanson, Of
Calais, and the result late tonight was
in doubt
The election passed off without any
unfortunate incident; in fact. it was one
Of the quietest in years. The vote was
about an average one for an off year,
and the total will run to about 10000
Governor FernaId of Poland said to-
night:
i have no doubt from the returns at
hand that Mr.. Plaisted has been elected
by from 5000 to 5000 I don't under
stand why the vote should take such a
sudden change in all parts of the state
Governor-elect PIaisted was born in
Bangor, in 1864. He ran for Mayor Of
Augusta five times and won four cleo
tons.

county police here they said that they were
held up by q man swinging q red lantern
across the highway. To the Hudson police
they said that the man held a white light
with a reflector
Gypsies at d camp situated not more than
three hundred feet from the spot where
the autoists said they had been held UP
declared this afternoon that they did not
hear a shot fired. The autOmobilists said
that the hiGhwaymen fired several shots.
The Duchess County police also found
another flaw III the story of the alleged
hold-up told by the members OF the party.
They said that after finishing their work
the highwaymen walked directly east and
disappeared into wood. There is a big
wire fence along the east side of the road
for a considerable distance, and the high
wavmen could not have entered the wood
without climbing this fence.
The members of the party promised TO
