“AS MAINE DOES—
REPUBLICANS RETURNED INDEX TO ELECTIONS (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian and N.Z „ Press Association) NEW YORK, Monday. The electors of Portland, Maine, which State is normally Republican, and* where the local elections are held two months before the national elections, to?day chose a Republican Governor and Senator by large majorities. There is an old saying that “As Maine does so the nation does.” The Democrats had claimed that if the normal Republican majority in to-day’s election dropped below 35,000, it would indicate that the State would go Democrat in the Presidential election. The Republicans, however, claim that the victory indicates that the nation will go Republican. Mr. William Gardiner was elected Governor of Maine. The entire Republican ticket was returned for Congress.
