NO MATERIAL CHANGES
IN MAINE ELECTIONS.
The Republicans Gain One City and
Lose Another,

Portland, Ne, March affections in
ten Maine cities today failed to show
any material change in political senti-
ment. Republicans elected three chief
executives to seven for the democrats,
the same as last year, gaining Saco,
but losing Eastport. The mayors
elected were:
Auburn, DR.. c. E. Williams, repubn-
can
Bath, Frank A. Small, democrat.
PASSPORT, Jefferson NJ SWEET, demo-
crat.
Ellsworth, John A. Cunningham,
democrat
Hanowell, Emery o. Beane, demo
crat.
Lewiston, Frank A. Morris, demo-
crat.
Rockland, George H. Blethen, repub-
ican.
South Portland, John A. S. Dyer,
democrat.
Saco, Frank l. Palmer, republican.
Waterville, William r. PattangaIl,
democrat
Efforts were made by the democratic
state leaders to make today's elections
have a bearing on national political
sentiment, but local affairs entered so
largely into the contests that national
politics were obscured.
The town of Eden, in which Bar
Harbor is located, did not decide today
the question of opening the island to
automobiles. The town meeting lasts

motion is supported almost wholly by
the fact that after certain prosecu-
