600 labSr4nen in Greater New York and vicinity,
threatening sympathetic strike, traffic on the sub
way and elevated lines in Manhattan and the Bronx

Republicans and Democrats
Make Desperate Efforts
to Garry State
THE FIRST STATE TO VOTE
Two Senators and Four
Members of Congress
Will Be Named Today

Portland, Sept. 11!-Maine vot"
ers to the number Of 100000 went
to the polls today to elect a gov
ernor, two United States SEN
aters, four members Of congress
state legislators. and a state aud
itor. National issues have been
brought to the fore and party lead
ers brought hdttdreds of speakers
into the state including former
Justice Hughes, former Vice presi-
dent Fairbanks, and members Of
Wilson's cabinet, to persuade vot-
ers to line up With or against the
national executive and the ma
jority in congress.
The state officers are now Demo-
cratic, and that party now has one
United States senator, and one of
four congressman. Both sides claim
sufficient Progressive support to
carry the election.
Heavy Vote.
Portland, Maine, Sept. II. - A biz
vote is indicated in the state election
today. The Republicans claim every
thing with pluralities approximatint
$1,000. The Democrats claim plurali
ties Of 5000. They admit the outcom,
in the Third and Fourth congressional
districts is in doubt.
If an average is struck between thu
rival claims, Maine, politically speak
ing may be said to be either party
state. Three conclusions however, ar
not disputed.
If Gov. Oakley G. Curtis is re-elect
ed by the Democrats the result be &C
cepted generally as an endorsement o
the administration. If the Democrat
who hold one Of the four seats in con
gress, return Congressman Daniel
McGillicuddy and capture the secon
seat, 1t will be construed as showin
that the First and Second district
stand strongly behind the nationa
executive.
If the Democrats by a popular vot
re-elect United States Senator Chas
F. johnson and win another seat Il
the senate through the defeat of form
er Gov. B. M. Fernald by Kenneth n
Stills, dean Of Bowdoin college. 1t wi
be taken as evidence that the voter
of the state generally wish to hold u
the hands of President Wilson.
The fight for United States senator
is especially important as upon tn
outcome may depend the control Of tn
upper house, to obtain which the Re
publicans must win nine seats no7
held by Democrats. For the first tim
senators will be chosen by popula
vote.
