! Anguish Maine. September 7.-On
the eve OF the election OF four Con-
sressmen. state officers and Legisla
ture that Will choose United States
Senator. tho political situation In Maine
is exceedingly complex The local is
sues OF the state finances and tho nom
enforcement OF tho law prohibiting
the sale OF intoxicating liquors have
robbed the election OF much slgnih-
canoe it might otherwise have had in
national politics. The line between the
Tart and Roosevelt Republicans has
not been drawn. the two factions work
ing together FOR State officers under =
truce
Governor Frederic W. Plaisted. OF
Augusta. Is the first Democratic Gov
crnor Maine has had in thirty years.
His opponent William 7. Iainos, OF
Waterville. claims that he Will not DO
re elected. Edwin c. Burleigh. of
Aug who was defeated for re-elec-
ton 10 Congress two years ago after
having served fourteen years at WASH
ington. IS candidate FOR tho United
States Senate on the Republican size,
having been Endorsed by the voters In
the Juno primary. Obadiah Gardner.
OF Rockland who was appointed by
Governor Plaisted to I'LL the vacancy
caused by tho death OF William H.
Frye. is a. candidate for election on the
Democratic ticket
Chairman John s. p. Wilson. Of Au-
burn. who has led the Democratic
forces. says his party will win by 49,
600. He is reckoning on a large stay
at-home in tho Republican ranks on
account OF the dissatisfaction in the
rural districts with the action of the
Chicago convention.
Republicans Confident.
Chairman Warren G. Phnhrook. of
Watervllle. who took the helm for the
Republicans this year. says that the
Portable majority. and that that party
VIII have both branches Of tho Legls-
lature
Tho Republican hope of victory is
based the belief that fewer Re-
publicans viii vote for Governor
Plaisted than was the case two years
ago.
Every county has issues all its own
SO interviewer with the state issues
that 1t Ia next to impossible for one
not resident of n county to get even
an idea OF the situation the claims
OF the contestants are equally opti-
mist!c The Republicans claim that
