— By Telegraph — Copyright).
Rec. Sept. 13, 8.5 p.m. Portland, Maine, Sept. 12. The elections on Monday in which the Governor and three Congressional representatives were selected, developed on entirely unexpected lines, the Democratic strength, with incomplete returns, indicating that all four Democratic nominees may be elected, although the process of voting is delaying the decision, As Maine is overwhelmingly Republican, the Democratic strength is interpreted as a favourable indication of the party chances at the general election in November. The Maine elections are held some six weeks prior to the general elections, and the results are taken as the so-called national barometer. The Democrats based their campaign largely on the repeal of the Eighteenth amendment, while the. Republicans were non-committal or dry.
