representative, is opposed by Bert
rand c. McIntire, Democrat. Mr..
White had a close primary contest
with Cyrus n. Blanchard of Wilton
and many of Mr.. Blanchard's friends
feel that he received unfair treat
ment because Of Mr.. White entering
the field after first deciding not to
be a candidate. Were it not for re-
ports of Democratic disaffection in
Androscoggin county it would be
considered likely that Mr.. White
might be defeated, but it is believed
that Democratic stump in Andros-
Statewide Republican majority
should fall far under that claimed by
the Republicans.
While it is not generally thought
that Congressman Carroll l.. Beedy
of the First District is in any danger,
there is possibility that the vote
may be quite close between him and
William NJ. Ingraham, the Demo-
cratic candidate. Opposition to Mr..
Beedy on account of his vote upon
the bonus bill has come from Re-
publican business men in Portland,
and while 1t is not generally thought
that the stand of Mr.. Ingraham for
a modification of the Volstead Act
so as TO provide for the legalizing
of beer and light wine will bring
as many votes as he had expected.
many reports are now being heard
Of Republicans who desire such o
change and are said to be planning
to vote for Mr.. Ingraham.
There does not appear to be any
doubt of the election Of John E. Mel
son. the present Third District rep
resentative, and Ira G. Hersey,
Fourth District representative, by
wide margins over their Democratic
opponents, Leon o. Tebbetts and
Clinton C. Stevens of Bangor.
Much interest is being manifested
in the closing hours of the campaign
over the situation in the st. John
River district. where it is expected
that more than 1000 votes will be
lost for the Republican candidate
for governor because of the re-
ligious issue which has been injected
into the campaign. The question of
how many of these votes will be, cast
for the entire Democratic ticket and
how many will be only for the head
of the ticket is considered most I'M
certain. Upon the way in which the
ballots are split there will hang the
fate sof Mrs. Dora Bradbury Pink
ham, the only woman member OF
the Legislature. and William J. Thu
bodeau, the Republican candidate
for sheriff of Aroostook county.
