late Fletcher Hale, opposed william N.
Rogers, Democratic nominee and last
member of his party to hold congress
sional seat from New Hampshire.
A light vote vas forecast on election
eve, despite the intense interest dis
played during the campaign.
The Bartlett forces based their hopes
on the party loyalty of the voters of
the nomlnally Republican district. while
Rogers followers. rested their hopes in
a series of Democratic gains in recent
municipal elections. Democrats looked
to the cities for their majoritieS, while
Republicans looked to the smaller COM
munities in the district.
Manchester, largest of the cities in
the first district today, turned out en-
masse to celebrate the Inauguration OF
a Democratic administration for the
first time in 10 years, and last night
both congressional candidates concen-
trated their election eve efforts on
Manchester's $4,000 voters. The cities
of Portsmouth. Dover, Rochester, Som
ersworth and Laconia are also included
in the first district and in several OF
tie municipalities recent elections have
been close.
Both candidates have placed them
selves on record on national issues and
prohibition. Bartlett Is willing to vote
for a referendum on prohibition, while
Rogers favors repeal of the eighteenth
amendment.
