F. W. PLAISTED

Whom the Democrats of. Maine Have Chosen for Governor.

THE MAINE ELECTION.

The state election in Maine last Monday is a source of much gratification to Democrats all over the country, and shows conclusively that the people of the east as well as the west are dissatsified with stand-pattism and the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. Of course the stand-pat newspapers saV that the election has no national significance; that only local questions were involved, but the dispatches in their news columns do not hear out this theory, The Chicago Record Herald's newv dispatches from that state says: On all sides the judgment was passed that the triumph was part and parcel of the insurgent movement that is sweeping the West, and that in principle it was of kindred nature to the insurgent victories in lowa. Kansas, Michigan, Wisconsin and California—a protest, pure and simple, against stand-pat-tism as practiced by the Cannon and Aldrich men who controlled the last Congress and against the Ald-rich-Payne tariff act. The democrats carried in whole or in part thirteen out of the sixteen counties for county officers and elected sixteen of the high sheriffs of the state. Governor Plaisted’s plurality was about 9,000. The importance of the victory is indeed great. It means that the democrats will send a representative to the United States senate to succeed Senator Hale, the first democrat sent to the senate from that state in almost fifty years, and the first democratic senator from any of the New England states in over forty, years. Two of the four congressmen will be democrats and the legislature will he democratic on joint ballot by thirty-six majority. Control of the legislature in Maine is of more importance than in most of the states, as the legislature elects, the state treasurer. attorney general, secretafv and commissioner of agriculture. The last legislature »tood 122 republicans to 60 democrats.

FITZGERALD IS INDICTED

Former Sub-Treasury Cashier Charged With Robbery. George W. Fitzgerald, former cashier of the United States subtreasury at Chicago, was indicted by the fed eraJ grand jury on the charge of stealing $173,000 from the subtreasury. The money mysteriously disappeared from the cage over which Fitzgerald had charge Feb. 20, 1907. The disappearance caused a sensation in political circles, it having been suggested that the ujpney was used in politics. William Boldenweek was sub-treasurer and a bill was passed by congress relieving him of responsiblUty for the deficit!.

The Cruder Varieties.

"What is the name of that warbler that is singing so sweetly in the tree?" asked a gushing young person. "I do not know.*' frankly admitted the great detective. "But I thought you were making a study of modern birds?" "Only Jailbirds, darling."

DEMOCRATS CARRY THE MAINE ELECTION

Frederick W. Pleisted Chose* _■ • . • : ■ ' • • . ‘ •* ; ’ ; ' /•••'- Governor of State .

DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES

ARKANSAS—EIect George W. Donaghey governor, i ARIZONA—Win 35 oat of 52 seats in constitutional convention and will write new constitution. MAINE—Elect Fred W. Plaisted governor by 8,500 plurality; secure control of the state legislature; elect two out .of four congressmen.

The Democrats have carried the state of Maine. With a few little, obscure forest towns and island plantations to hear from, additional revised returns give Colonel Fred Plaisted (Dem,* 72.711 votes for governor and Governor Bert M. Fernald (Rep.) €4.096. Plaisted’s total plurality is estimated at ffJMQ. Revised returns show the election of Asher C. Hinds (Rep.) in the First dis trict by 200. of Daniel J McGillk-uddy (Dem.) in the Second by 3,000, of Samuel W. Gould (Dem.) in the Third by 2,200 and of Frank E. Guernsey <Rej».) in the Fourth by 300. While the election of Colonel Plaisted and two Democratic congressmen seemed a gieat feat, interest centers in the make-up of the legislature, which has changed complexion. ■Complete returns for the state, senate show the Democrats have twentyone out of thirty-one seats. The last state senate was made up of twentythree' Republicans and eight Democrats.

The Democrats have also elected . seventy-one representatives out of a s total house membership of 151. This ? gives them within five votes of a ma- jj Jority in the lower branch. With a majority of eleven in tfcejj senate, the Democrats are assured off ! the control In joint convention off Loth f houses of the legislature/ which will 1 eleef a successor to United States] Senator Hale. , No formal bid has been made ffgr; /.-t , prw.-rs-- . 3 the seat in the United States senate E which will be vacated by Eugene Hale l on March 4 next, although the name* of Charles F. Johnson, of Waterrille; State Senator Lindley M. Staples, off Knox; William L. Pennell, of Brunswick, who was defeated by Asher CL Hinds in. the First district; Ex-State Senator Oakley C. Curtis, and Will i! lam .R. Patten gill, of Waterville, have ! been frequenlty mentioned. As the legislature is captured by the Democrats, it probably will mean the resubmlsslon to the people off the vexed prohibitory liquor law and a chance for local option in the sale off intoxicating liquors. The Sturgis act, which has proved so obnoxious to many, and was denounced in the Democratic platform, can be repealed.

Governor Donaghey Re-Elected. In the state of Arkansas Governor Donaghey’s vote will not fall much below’ 110,000. which would give him a majority over Andrew I. Roland, Republican opponent, of 40,000. The governor says he is also confident that the amendment has been ratified by at least 30,000 majority.

Democrats Carry Arizona. Democrats w r on Arizona. Constitutional convention will contain about 35 Democrats, 12 Republicans and » Laborites. The sole issue was the initiative and referendum and recall, strongly opposed by the Republicans. The campaign has been a bitter one, many leading politicians of both parties bolting, tickets.
