OF HOT ELECTION
To Choose Governor, Two Sen

tives in Congress.
PREVAILING FAIR WEATHER
PROMISES LARGE BALLOT
Results Expected to Be Known by
Midnight Despite Difficulties
of Communication.

PORTLAND, Me-, September
I1.-Voters of Maine to the MINI
Der of 10000 or more went to
the polls today to elect a gov
ernor, two United States senators,
four representatives in Congress,
a state legislature and a state
auditor.
Fair weather prevailed. This
was expected to cause a big vote,
equally desired by both sides.
Reports at noon from various
parts of the state indicated that
heavy vote had been cast. Two
arrests for alleged attempts to
repeat" were made in this city.
Result by Midnight.
The polls opened at o'clock, and
must close not later than pm.
Many returns will be slow. Some
twenty towns and plantations are with
out telegraph or telephone communica-
tion with the outside. However, the re-
suit should be indicated before mid
night
National issues have been pressed to
the fore. Party leaders brought hun
dreds Of speakers into the state, includ-
ing former Justice Hughes, former Vice
President Fairbanks and members of
President Wilson's cabinet, to persuade
the voters to line up with or against
the national executive and the majority
In Congress.
Maine. however. is normally repub-
lican. Democratic leaders insisted that
something more than a scant republican
victory would be required to constitute
repudiation OF the administration. while
g. democratic plurality. however small,
would be accepted by them as an in
dorsement.
Problem Of Progressive Vote.
The state officers are now democratic.
That party has one United Staten SEN
ator and one Of the four Representatives
In Congress-.
In 1914 the progressives cast 1925
votes for governor. How their vote
would split today was a matter Of dis
pute.
Both sides claim they will receive
sufficient progressive support to carry
the election.
The fight for United States senators
is especially important. Upon the out
come may depend the control OF the
upper house, to obtain which the re-
pubiicans must win nine seats now
held by democrats. For the first time
senators will be chosen by popular
vote.
The control of the state legislature
Is important locally, as the two houses
on a joint ballot elect the state officers
with the exception Of governor and
state auditor.
