Governor, was 10, 7O4 and the total vote
cast for Obadiah Gardner of Rockland,
the Democratic nominee for United
States senator was 1897. There was
no contest for either of these nomina-
tions.
A peculiar situation occurs in the 18th
Congressional district in regard to F.
Wade Halliday of Newport. Mr.. Hali-
day was one Of the three candidates for
the Democratic nomination for repre-
sentative to Congress but failed of a
nomination on the Democratic ticket,
No candidate filed nomination papers for
the Socialist nomination for Congress
from that district and two Socialist
voters wrote in the name of Mr.. Halli-
day. AS no other person received any
votes for the Socialist nomination Mr..
Halliday is declared the Socialist nomi-
nee.
John A. Mooers of Skowhegan was a
candidate before the primaries in Somer-
set county for both the Republican and
Democratic nominations for sheriff. He
was defeated for the Democratic nomi-
nation but won the Republican nominal
ton.

cording to the report of the Board of

tate is valued at 81, 236, sos and the per-
sonal estate is valued at 81, 1873, Sol.
