tonight. Three conclusions, however.
are not disputed.
If Gov. Oakley C. Curtis is reelected
by the democrats, the result will be ac :
cepted generally as an Endorsement of
the administration.
If the democrats, who now hold one
Of the four seats in Congress, return
Congressman Daniel j.. McGnlicuddy
and capture the Second seat, 1t will be
construed as showing that the First and
Second districts stand strongly behind
the national executive
IT the democrats by popular vote
re-elect United States Senator Charles
F. johnson and win another seat in the
Senate through the defeat of former
Gov. F. M. Fernald by Kenneth c. NJ
Sills, dean of Bowdoin college. 1t will
be taken as evidence that the voters
OF the state generally wish to hold up
the hands of President Wilson.
The fight for United States senator's
is especially important as upon the out
come may depend the control of the
upper house, to obtain which the re-
publicans must win nine seats now
held by democrats. For the first time
senator's will be chosen by popular vote.
The control of the state legislature
is important locally. as the houses on
a joint ballot elect the state officers
with the exception Of governor and
state auditor.
