{. !. p. TICKET
 SWEEPS MAINE

PORTLAND, ME, Sept. 12-Re- publicars are accorded q complete swear of the political field in this state. The Democrats were routed in every district and fail ed to elect their forem9st men up on whom they had counted most strongly
 The governor running on the Re- publ can ticket was elected by an overwhelming majority, the same holds true of Republicans running on the G. O. r. ticket for state auditor, senator and house of repreS' natives. The victory even extends to the smallest uni. of cleo ticu that of country officials. The majority of the counties have placed Republicans in office. A few scat tering counties have elected Demo cratic county officials to office. Two senators and four representatives were elected at this election.
 remocratio leaders in this state have very little to say over the re suits of the election. They are at a lJgs to account for the com Dlete swing to the Republican fold. What has been. accomplished in this state is predicted for the other states iu the Union.
