Republican victory in Maine was
hailed here today by party leaders
as an augury of nationwide Victory
for the national ticket in November.
From President Coolidge, the mem
bers of his cabinet on down the line
all wore smiles when Maine was men-
toned.
Conversely. the results in Maine
were necessarily cold water douche
to the Democrats.
Notwithstanding the claims made
by the campaign managers of both
parties, there had been degree OF
uncertainty as to what the result
might be. The Republican candidate

Distinct Republican Victory.
"Anything over $4,000 for the Re
publicans in Maine is a distinct Re
publican victory" is the way veteran
politicians from the State view elec

cate that Brewster has been elected
by from 10000 to $500 over Pat,in-
gall. and, further that Senator Bert

cratic opponent, Fulton J. Redman.
by $1,000.
The discrepancy between the vote
OF Senator Fernald and that or Mr..
Brewster may be attributed to a
number of causes. Some will saw
that the klan issue and the vigorous
attack made by Pattingall and other
Democrats on Brewster as Khan
candidate, was responsible for the
smaller vote for rewster. Others
will say that Pa,ti.,-all. admittedly
