State of Maine
Goes Wrong Way
REPUBLICANS ELECT COVER
NOR AND TWO SENATORS.
DELEGATION is SOLID.

Portland, Maine, Sept. 11.-Maine
Republicans, reinforced by return
ing Progressives, won signal victory
at the election today. They elected
a governor, an auditor, two United
States senators and four representa-
tives in, congress and wrestling con-
troll of the State house of representa-
tives from the Democrats, will be
able on a joint vote of the legislature
to elect the other State officers not
chosen by popular vote.
Carl E. Miliken led his ticket, de-
feating Gov. Oakley C. Curtis, who
sought reelection, by a plurality Of
approximately $4,000.
The Republican drift extended to
county officers, the greater number
of counties choosing Republican coun
ty attorneys and sheriffs. These Of
fcers are important locally because
their holders are charged with en-
forcing the prohibition law.
The vote was heavy. The Repub-
Ecan leaders say nearly all the 49,
226 Progressives of two years ago
voted the Republican ticket.
The closest fight was for congress
from the Second district, where Rep
resentative Daniel J. McGillicuddy
was defeated by Wallace H. White,
Jr., by 500 plurality. -
United States Senator Charles F.
Johnson, whose wide personal popu-
larityihad given the Democrats great
hope of his return, was defeated by
Frederick Hale, son of the ex-senator
by approximately $500. For the short
term seat in the senate Former Gov.
Bert M. Fernald defeated Kenneth C.
NJ. Sills, dean of Bowdoin college, by
10000.
Louis B. Goodall, in the First dis
trict, Congressman John A. Peters, in
the Third, and Ira G. Hersey in the
Fourth, all Republicans, were elected
to congress, and Representative Dan
iel J. McGillicuddy (Democrat) was
defeated in the Second district by
Wallace II. White (Republican) by
a small majority.
With the vote of a half dozen small
towns that would not change the re-
suit missing White had a plurality
of 473 votes.
The election was the elimination
of one of the hottest fights ever wag-
cd in the State, and marked the re-

Good Advertising Accompishes

If an Individual is to cultivate his personal
friendships he must keep in touch with his
friends. AS DR.. johnson put it, I'VE must keep
our friendships in constant repair r"
It is so with a merchant. Through his adver-
tising he is enabled to keep in communication
with his stores patrons and friends He gives
to them the new facts about his offerings Some
times he tells them of special opportunities he has
created through which they may save money in
needed purchases. These advertisements of
Especial sales'' may usually be relied upon to
stimulate business TO make quick turnovers Of
stocks which have accumulated.
But the stores advertising does more than to
accomplish clearances, or to speed up sales of
particular lines of goods. Erepairs and cements
store friendships. The slightly "peeved" GUS
toner, who may be holding mild grievance, is
won back through the influence of advertising
which makes the stores policies understood.
The man or woman who may have decided that,
for some reason unknown to the merchant, they
will transfer their trading to some other store,
becomes interested in special offering made in
the advertisements Of the innocent offender, and
comes back to the first allegiance,
Advertising affords the means of holding
wavering friendships. And that is task facing
every merchant nt-and more important than the
immediate sale.
