 a Hot Fight.

Portland, Maine, Sept. i2.-The thoroness of the Republican victory at the polls Monday was empha- sized as the returns from the iso- lated towns and plantations strag- gled in Tuesday
 Revised figures place the plural ity of Governor Elect Carl E. Milli- ken Republican, over Governor Oakley C. Curtis at i3.355. Returns from the border show that the members of the Second Maine iu- fantry cast a total vote of 40, of which Milliken received 300.
 Pluralities for the Republicans, will send a solid delegation to con- gress. They have held a majority in the state senate and will control both houses by a good working ma jority.
 The revised vote for governor, United States senators and con- gressmen follows:
 GoVernor-M -Milliken (Rep.) 79,902 Curtis (Dem.) 66,547.
 United States Senators = H a Q (Rep), 78,0ii; Fernald ,Rep9, 79,= 368; Johnson (Dem), 6S,273: Stills l Dem 66,S32.
 Congressmen-Goodall (Rep.), t9,- 732: Stevens Dem. l6,i03; White Rep, i9,i57; McGillieuddy lDem.l iS,770: Peters (Rep.l. 2i,S20; Bunker 1 (Dem), iS277; Hersey Rep.1, i5,- 066; Pierce (Dem.) ii0i3.
 Continuation of Hot Fight.
 The election was the culmination of one of the hottest fights ever waged in the state and marked the Ireunion of the Republican and Pro- gressive parties, whose differences in 1912 gave the electoral vote oi Maine tc President Wilson and two years later resulted in the election of Governor Oakley c. Curtis. Dem ocrat. by a plurality of 3,iS9. Fig ures indicate that the larger per centage of the Progressive vote which two years ago was 1926, was cast Monday for the Republican ticket.
 For the first time the two United States senators were elected by pop ulaP vote and Republicans made de- termined effort to win the one seat in the senate and the single seat il the house of representative held by Maine Democrats. The Democrats had claimed the state by 5000 ano the Republicans by i5,000.
 Secretary Reynolds of the Repub- lican national committee issued a statement, which said:
 "The result in Maine. especially in the Republican vote for governor shows an absolutely reunited party
 Chairman Mccormick of the Dem ocratlc committee issued the fol- lowing statement:
 The result of the election ir Maine indicates a sweeping Demo- cratic victory in November. l have never claimed that we would win iu Maine, because 1 realized that tC carry such rock-ribbed Republic an stronghold in a presidential year would be practically impossible.
 We have materially reduced the usually large Republican majority always obtained on national issues in that state and that insures the election of President Wilson in N0- Vember by an impressive majority just as Republican plurality of l2.- 300 in September, 1892 prefaced the election of President Cleveland in November"
