third term. The three republican
congressman reelected al hav srvd
several terms.
Contrary to predictions Of a heavy
vote freely made during the cam
paign, the total was about $4,000 less
than that cast for governor in 1924,
the last presidential election year
when Brewster, republican, defeated
Pattangall, democrat, by a majority
Of 1866. In the last state election
two years ago the total vote was
ISL ,524. and the republican majority
for governor was 2usO2S.
Big Gains Made
Four years ago the democrats car
ried five cities for governor-Bangor,
Biddeford, Lewiston, Old Town and
Waterville-and one county, Andre
scoggin. Yesterday Biddeford. which
went democratic in 1924 by q vote Of
ALSO to 1855, remained in the demo-
cratic column by q vote Of 1871 TO
1871. Lewiston, the only other city
lost by the republicans, was one Of
the few places in the state to show
an increase in its total vote, the
democrats carrying it in 1924 by q
vote of GIT to 1898 and yesterday
5s47 TO 3043. This is the home city
Of Congressman White.
Portland, with one precinct miss
ing. showed a total republican vote
within 800 Of thta cast four years
x while the democratic vote fell
off BY $500. Bangor's democratic
margin OF 262 votes in 1924 was
turned into a republican majority Of
2398. Old Town. which showed a
democratic margin Of 40 In 1924,
went republican BY 473. Waterville
had the closest vote OF any Of the
cities, its democratic majority Of 1922
four years ago being turned into a
republican majority Of 204.
Androscoggn, the county in which
the vote was the closest returned a
republican majority of 2152 as COM
pared with a democratic majority Of
$50 in 1924.

After hearing temporary Chairman

vention delegates barely had time
left to name committees on resolu-

between the rival groups, but no

Governor Dan Moody entered the
hall shortly sitter 10 o'clock and
took a seat In the central part Of

him.

Leaders both Of the Smith and

noted anti-Smithite, swung down
the aisle with a cavalier stride as

Lovestone Points Out Errors
Lovestone, of the United States,
then declared that the opposition
wrongly accuses the majority in
charging that the latter makes prop
uganda for American imperialism
because it recognizes that American
Imperialism is still growing. The
minority overestimates the present
economic depression which is caused
by naturalization and not by de-
cline. The growth of American i'm

makes favorable ground for the
work of the party
What, the opposition fails to see
is the connection between the grow
ing strength and the growing ag-
gressiveness of American imperial
ism. We see the rehabilitation Of
the American workers but believe
that this rehabilitation is not yet so
general as the opposition thinks.
