WATERv|LLE BY 1922 VOTES
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES WIN

william X. PdttangaH OF Augusta,
Democratic candidate for Governor
Of Maine. carried the city of Water
Vile by 1922 votes over the Republi-
can candidate. Ralph o. Brewster Of
Portland. The totals were 1927 for
Pattangall and 2275 for Brewster.
The vote was 5642. the largest ever
cast in the city. bigger than the city
election last March when 1855 votes
were cast, making a record up to that
time.
Senator Bert Fernald headed his
ticket with a total of 2345 and Pat
tangall headed the Democratic ticket.
/ Brewster polled the lowest number of
votes on the Republican ticket Pat
tangall carried all of the wards ex-
cept 3 and 5, which went to Brewster.
Fernald carried Ward over Red
man by 10, while Brewster lost by SO
votes in that ward. Predictions by
Democrats in the city that Pattan-
gall would carry Waterville by 1000
votes were verified by the count.
Early In the day it became appar-
ent that the voting was going to be
very heavy. At noon reports from the
different wards showed an unusual
number of voters coming to the polls
early. In spite of the intense inter-
waiting around the polls except Ward
4 in the City hall. where a crowd
gathered in the morning and stayed
| until the final results were an
nounced.
/ An unusual number Of split tickets
! cast showed up in the counting. In
! the ma jority of the wards the tick
cts were split so as to cut the name
| of Brewster from the Republican
ticket and changing to Pattangall
| Wards 6 and 7 rolled up the big ma
jority for the Democratic ticket and
! every Democratic nominee carried
the city by several hundred votes.
