REPUBLICANS TOOK NEARLY
EVERYTHING In SIGHT

the state.
In the largest vote ever cast in the
state they elected Carl E. Milliken gov

two Republican candidates for United

smaller. The Republican candidates for
representative 10 congress were elected
in all four districts, including the Second
District, which has been represented by
Daniel j. McGillicuddy, Democrat, for
the past six years. Wallace Fl. White,
Jr., the Republican candidate, had a
plurality of somewhere from 400 to 600
over Mr.. McGillicuddy.

ty-eight Republicans and three Demo
Gratis, the only Democratic senators being
from Androscoggiu and Knox Counties.
In the House Of Representatives there
will be los Republicans and 40 Dem

the state is Republican, there being few
exceptions. Even the Republican can
didate for sheriff in Androscoggin, Ferd

Of 10000. Only a small number, less
than 25O0, were cast by the Socialist,
Prohibition and Progressive parties COM
