Maine Goes
Republican

Especial to the New York Times)
! Portland Me-, Nov. 29.-Arthur r.
Gould, 73year-old business man of
Pressure Isle, was elected United
States Senator on the Republican
| ticket today by margin of about
| $4,000 votes over his Democratic
rival, Fulton j. Redman of Ellis
worth, according to estimates made
on returns from all of the twenty
cities in the State and nearly one
half of the rural precincts
! Less than week ago leaders of
both parties expected the fight would
be very close, but within the last
few days the greatest part of the
normally Democratic anti-Klan vote
has been turned against Mr.. Red
man. 1t is estimated that this made
difference of at least 10000 votes
While Mr. Redman empha tically de-
MED that he was in any way tied up
with the Ku Klux Klan, it was gen
orally believed that this organiza-
tion was hostile to Mr.. Gould. This
belief was made stronger when Klan
leaders brought charges of illegal
primary expenditures against Mr..
Gould, and Governor Ralph o. Brew
ster supported them.
Democratic cities like Lewiston,
Bidceford and Rockland all went
against Mr.. Redman, many of his
own party voting against him to
punish the Khan rather than for any
particular animosity toward their
candidate The vote from the rural
districts also indicated that the
Klan vote did not come out in full.
FOR Mr.. Redman showed little
strength even in supposedly Klan
strongholds. He carried about fifty
OF the 600 towns in the State by a
majority of less than 400 votes.
Portland. the largest city in the
state gave Mr. Gould margin of
almost 900. while Mr.. Redman was
beaten by 100 votes in his own home.
Ellsworth. The twenty cities of the
state gave Mr.. Gould about 5000
majority. ArOostock, Mr.. Gouid's
own county gave it's candidate a
margin of almost 10000. and the lit
tie town of Stagahta threw every
one of it's 333 ballots for Mr. Gouyd
Mr. Redman, who is 80 years the
Junior of the successful candidate.
declared before election that If beat
en- at the polls he would carry the
nght to Washington. He intimated
that neither he nor the Democratic
leaders were satisfied with the hear
ing at Augusta when the Secretary
or State, sitting as a court. freed Mr..
Gould OF accusations that he ex-
ceeded the legal limit in his expen-
ditures for the primary campaign

Editor Richmond Times Dispatch,
lear Sir:
AT the regular meeting today OF
the Baptist Minister'S Conference of
Richmond and vicinity, our atten-
tion was called to your editorial of
yesterday, 1T is not ridicule." You
state with degree of pleasure that
"a number of prominent Negroes sent
on your request, as we'll as volun-
teered. the information that the odd
column, Good morning, Judge" did
not ohend their sensibilities.
This conference or ministers begs
10 say that it would be interesting
TO them to know who those promi-
nent Negroes were since none Of the
members of our conference was Civ
en- an opportunity to answer your
"stionnaire.
Further, our conference. the mem4
bers OF whom are daily readers of
Your paper, voted to go on record as
approving and supporting the stand
taken by DR. Gordon B Hancock.
whose letter appeared in your pa
per. The column Good morning,
J"dge.'' is not free from offence to
our sensibilit es and we would deem
the viewpoint of an important
group of Richmond Negroes were
the column abolished. The column
won serve a higher purpose If it
were devoted to that type of activ-
tiles among us which really repre-
sent the race but seldom finds space
ir vour paper.
If the only thing needed 10 abolish
the column in question is adverse
sentiment from representative
group of Richmond Negroes, this
sentiment has been officially express
ed by the Baptist Minister'S confer
e""e &C Richmond and vicinity.
Respectfully, Conference Com
