REPUBLICANS WIN
IN MAINE ELECTION
PARKHURST ELECTED GOVERN
OR BY BIG MAJORITY WOM-
EN- VOTE FIRST TINE. -

Portland, Maine, Sept. 13.-Freder-
ic H. Parkhurst, Republican, was
elected Governor Of Maine today by
"a plurality which at late hour prom
ised to be the largest in the history
Of the State. His Democratic oppon-
ent, Bertrans G. Mcintyre, received
approximately half as many votes as
Mr.. Parkhurst.
The Republicans carried all four
congressional districts by large ma
jorities, reelecting Congressman Wal
lace White, Jr., John A. Peters and
Ira G. Hersey, and electing Carroll L
Beedy, Of Portland, in the First dis
trict, where Congressman Louis G..
Goodall was not a candidate for re-
election. They also obtained COM
manding lead in the State Legislature
and elected Roy L. Wardwell, of Au-
gusta, as State Auditor.
The part played by the new factor
Of the women's vote was evident. In
all parts of the State women availed
themselves of their first opportunity
To vote in a State election, and the
figures showed hat large majority
Of them voted the Republican ticket.
The vote for Parkhurst. on returns
from more than two-thirds Of the
State, showed an increase Of more
than $4,000 over that cast for Mill
ken, Republican. four years ago, while
McIntyre's vote was less than 1,5O0
more than that of Curtis, Democrat,
in the last presidential year.
Vote for Governor.
Returns from 557 election lrecincts
out OF 632 in the State lfrom 45S
c;t:os and towns out of 519) for Gov
ernor give:
Parkhurst, Republican, 124,966;
Mcintyre, Democrat, 64,296.
These same precincts in 1916 gave:
Milliken, Republican, 74,979; Curtis.
Democrat, 62,453.
The Republican strength was uni
form throughout the night. Several
of the cities which showed small Den,-
ocratic pluralities in 1916 returned
large pluralities for Parkhurst today.
In many others, which went Repub-
iican four years ago, the plurality for
that ticket was greatly increased this
year.
Considerable significance in the out
come in its bearing on the voting for
President in November was apparent
from the fact that the campaign was
fought out almost wholly on national
lines, with the League Of Nations as
the chief issue.

SANTEE BRIDGE. May
COST HALF MILLION
TT IS PLANNED TO BUILD STEEL
BRIDGE THREE FEET ABOVE
HIGH WATER.

Columbia, Sept. "a very impor-
tant meeting Of the corporators Of the
projected Santee River Bridge Com
pany was held in Sumter yesterday
L. D. Jennings, R. B. Belser, of Sum-
ter, C. M. Davis and C. w. Durant, of
Clarendon, and I. F. Belser, of Colum-
bia, were selected to proceed with the
plans for the bridge at mass meet
ing held in Summerton on Friday, Au-
gust 20.
At this meeting of the corporators
several very important questions were
taken up for discussion and tentative
ly decided. No definite decisions have
yet been reached, owing to the fact
that Orangeburg and Calhoun cSdn-
ties are expected to elect corporators
to serve with those above named.
1t is planned to build the steel
bridge across the Santee river and all
the trestle work which may be nec-
essary three feet above the highest
known water, and to build a cause
way of earth through the $500 feet
of swamp on the Clarendon side OF
the river. It is, therefore, planned to
make the capital stock of the corpora
tino s500,000.
Many People Interested
The people everywhere, both in the
adjoining counties and throughout the
State, are vitality interested in this
project, there being at the present
time no bridge across the Santee riv-
er throughout its entire course.
A very successful mass meeting
was recently held at Summerton to
consider the subject and approximate
" 100000 in STOCK was subscribed
It is planned to have several similar
meetings in other interested towns
A meeting has already been called fol
in Orangeburg on Friday, 10th in
slant; also a meeting has been ar
ranged to be held in Manning on Fri
day, the oath, and one in Sumter dur
ing the first week in October.
A determined effort will be madl
to raise the rest of the stock neces-
sary within the next sixty days. The
corporators are confident that this
can be done without difficulty, there
being such an interest in the matter
everywhere. Many public officials, in
cluding Governor Cooper, Senator
Wideman, of Clarendon, and the State
Highway Commission have evidenced
their interest in and approval Of the
proposed company. 1t is hoped that it
will be possible to commence opera
tions on the building of the bridge i'm
mediately after the meeting Of the
Legislature in January, at which time
the charter for the company is ex-
pected to be granted.
