MAINE ELECTION
6, D, P. REbUkE,.
DEMOCRATS SAY.
Republicans, With 5000
Plurality, Declare Result as
Very Satisfactory.
By International News Service.


AUGUSTA, Me-. March 21.-The
Third district Congressional special
election. which resulted In the cleo
ton Of a Republican, was being in
terpreted variously today.
The Democrats claimed that the
choosing of John T. Nelson with
1858 votes as against the 1886
votes given his Democratic oppo-
nent. Ernest Mclean, was a slim
victory and rebuke to the Re.
publican Administration.
Although in campaign speeches
Nelson had appealed for plurality
of 10000, the margin given his Re-
publican predecessor In 1920, he ex.
pressed himself as entirely satisfied
with the result Of the election. The
vote cast was very light.
From returns at hand" said
Adams in q formal statement, the
Republican candidate received so per
cent OF the total vote polled. In
ceived but "a per cent. in 1913 but
68 per cent, and in 1920 Sc per
cent.
The issue in this election was
one year of Republican Administra-
ton and accomplishments Of the
present Republican Congress as
compared with eight years of Demo
cratic rule. The result leaves no
doubt as to the preference of the
people"

the two, political observers point out. the
