Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1918-09-17
Republicans Took About Everything
ONLY KNOX COUNTY AND A FEW SCRAPS
LEFT FOR THE DEMOCRATS.

In the Maine election OF the e;h the
Republicans very nearly swept the state,
electipg all state and congressional can
didates, and carrying every county ex-
cept Knox. The Democrats elected only
a small delegation in the legislature, the
county officers of Knox County, and an
occasional county officer elsewhere.
Governor Carl z. Milliken Is re elected,
in a smaller vote than that OF two years
ago. by a somewhat reduced plurality
Unofficial returns give Carl <. Milliken,
Republican, 6S,822; Bertrand g. Nc
Intire, Democrat, 5S,223; making NIL
likep's plurality $3.50.
United States Senator Bert NJ Fernald
ia reelected over Elmer Z. Newbert,
Democrat, by nearly $4,000, and Roy L.
Wardwell State Auditor over Charles b.
Day of Richmond by about the same.
The four Republican congressman are
all returned-Louis B. Goodsll in the
First District, Wallace n. White, Jr., 10
the Second, John A. Peters in the Third,
and Ira G. Hersey in the Fourth. In
the Second District, where the cootes,
was wsrmest and closest, Wallace d
White, Jr., defeated Daniel j. McGilli
cuddy by about 2500
On the face of unofficial returns, the
senate will consist of 20 Republicans anc
2 Democrats, and the house OF ia Re
publicans and 81 Democrats.

the result is the defeat in Penobsco

council for failing to enforce the laws.
