MAINE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
Slight Vote Expected, Partially Be-
cause of Poor Travelling.

Portland, Me, March l.-Snow filled
highways, trolley lines blocked by snow
and ice in many sections and lack of
political interest were expected to re-
suit in unusually small attendance at
town meetings in several hundred
Maine towns and at the polls in eight
cities where annual municipal elections
were held to-day.
There have been no campaigns of
consequence and what interest there
was centered in a three cornered con-
test for mayor at Bath, where former
Mayor Elwell S. Crosby defeated May
or j. Edward Drake for the Republican
nomination and in Lewiston and Wa
terville, where the results were close a
year ago Saco Democrats made no
nominations.
Rockland is the only one Of the
eight cities having a Democratic city
government, the Others being Republi-
cans, but Lewiston has Democratic
mayor. The mayors of Ellsworth, Lew
iston, Rockland, WaterviIle and Saco
were candidates for reelection DR.

OF STATE RIGHTS
Brief Filed in the u. S. Su-

Washington. d. c., March 1.-The
United States supreme court must pass
on the validity of the 18th amendment

maintained the state of Rhode Island
declares in its brief filed in the United

to the governments motion for the dis
missal OF its action to obtain injunc-
tive relief from the prohibition amend
ment.
The brief, which was filed by Attor.
ney General Herbert A. Rice of Rhode
Island, asserts that the amendment lis
a direct invasion of jurisdiction and
powers of the state and the rights of
its people" and the governments view
that it IL ''unassaiIable" can "onlv lead
to anarchy and oppression 1t con
tends that ii is the duty Of the court
&c keep Congress in its amendments to
the constitution within the scope and
jurisdiction of federal authority" and
maintain that line of division between
federal and state powers which has
for so many years insured the har
monlous operation of our dual system
of government ordained and estab-
lished as perpetual"
The theory of the government ''is 50
subversiye Of fundamental principles
that its acceptance would bring about
a constitutional revolution continues
the brief
1T would convert the sovereignty of
the people into sovereignty of off
