clubs, stores-everywhere voters met.
There has been no suggestion Of that
this year, no occasion or inspiration
for it. The people are we'll satisfied.
Men and women of Maine are content
with the admirable administration Of
Gov. Baxter and the work of our Con-
gressional delegation. They will vote
| accordingly.
Il believe that seldom if ever in the
history of the State has there been
q governorswho has approached the
| general popularity of Gov. Baxter
The people not only respect and trust
Eim-they really like him as a man
They know he is their governor not
dominated or influenced by any group
or class. They know his tirclcss de-
votion to duty and they know with it
all that he is humane and honestly
| friendly to man, woman, child or an
imal.
"Of course we expect overwhelming
majorities in Senate and House. That
naturally follows our estimate of the
State plurality. / believe that even
the most optimistic Democrat hopes
for no more than cutting down our
unparalleled ma jority OF two years
ago. And they are welcome to what
ever small consolation they can find
in that accomplishment"
Chairman Cony
Daniel w. Cony Of this city, the
chairman of the Democratic State
committee Friday made the follow
ing statement:
Il really believe that Maine will
go Democratic next Monday in this
''off year" election. but to accomplish
this feat, every Democrat must get
to the polls. Two. years ago the
Democratic women of Maine were not
organized. They were not registered,
while this year it is different. |
should say that there are several
thousand women of the Democratic
persuasion registered this year who
were not registered to participate in
the election Of 1920.
Il also believe that the people of
Maine are tired of the eXtravagant
administration of Gov. Baxter in
State affairs. are greatly disappoint-
ed in the work of President Harding
and absolutely dissatisfied with Do
Nothing Congress. think that the
voters will show just how they feel
in the battle of the ballots on election
day.
Guy p. Gannett
Hon. Guy p. Gannett or Augusta,
the member from Maine of the Re-
publican National Committee Friday
made the following statement:
II believe that the campaign has
been the cleanest and best conducted
by both parties in a generation, due
to the woman voter in politics and
also to the dignified and high-mlnded
methods employed by Gov. Baxter
from the start
The total vote this year will be
smaller than in 1920 as is always the
case in SO called off year. but
believe that Gov. Bakers majority
will be practically as large in propor-
ton to the vote polled as that re-
ceived by the Republican candidate
two years ago. Gov. Baxter became
governor in January. 1921, upon the
death of Gov. Parkhurst. Within~a
very. short time after he assumed the
duties of chief executive the people
OF Maine made up their minds that
they wanted him for the governor for
a second term.
THE voters of Maine will show
their appreciation of Gov. Baxter's
devotion to their interests in a SUBJ
stantial manner next Monday"
D. J. McCiIIicuddy
Elk Congressman Daniel j. McGn-
licrddy of Lewiston. Maine member
OF the Democratic National Commit
tee, said Friday 1.-The Democratic
vote which will be polled next Mon
day. will, believe be a great sur J
prise to everyone. Two years ago
