Also Win Congressmen amt Governor. Portlad. Me., Sept. 13.— Late re turns received today from yester day’s state election only emphasized the extent of the Democratic victory. The figures showed that besides electing Frederick W. Plaistod, of Augusta, to the Governorship by about 8500 plurality over Governor Bert M. Fernald, of Portland, choos ing Congressmen in the Second and Third Districts and a good majority in the Legislature, as indicated by earlier tabulation, the Democrats bad carried a whole or part ol 13 out of 16 counties (or county of ficers. Control ol the Legislsture gives the party the chance to elect a Uni ted States Senator and the more im portant state officers, while Govern or Plaistod will have the appoint ment of several Justices and mem bers of commissioners. Complete rerurns give Asher 0 . Hinds, Republican, a plurality ol 734 in the First District- A recount may be held. Governor Fernald carried but three of the 20 cities in the state. With 21 out of 31 State Senators and 86 out of 151 Representatives, the Democrats control both branch es of the Legislatuae and are within 15 votes of a two-thi:ds majority in joint convention. The Republicans have elected 63 Representatives. Four districts remain to be heard from. Control of tbe legislature is of more importance than in some of the other states, under the con stitution, a number of the highest state officers are appointed by that body. These are Treasurer. Attor ney-General, Serretary and Com- missionerof Agriculture. Among tbe appointments which rest with the new Governor are as follows: A Judge of the Kennedec Superior Court, a state commissioner of State Industrial and Labor Statistics, a State Commissioner of Highways and a Warden of the State Prison, All these offices are now filled by Republicans. The Democratic overturn of yes terday extends even to minor state offices. Today’s figures show that the Republicans elected their shriev alty candidates in Aroostook, Franklin and Washington Counties only. In five counties Democratic Sheriffs were reelected; in eight others the Democrats gained the office. Revised returns shows the elec tion of Asher C. Hinds, Republican, in the First District, by 734; ofDan- iel J. McGillicuddy Democrat, in the Second, by 2000; of Samuel W. Gould, Democrat, in the Third, by 22O0. and Frank E. Guernsey. Re publican, in the Fourth, by 300. With the Legislature captuied by the Democrats it probably will rneau the resubmissiou to the peo ple of the vexed prohibitory liquor law and a choice for local option in the sale of intoxicating liquors. The Sturgis act, which has proved so obnoxious to many and was de nounced in Ihe Democratic party platform, can be repealed. Certain ly the act can be made inoperative by Plaistod withdrawing the pres ent commission and neglecting to appoint their successors. Sm Such a legislature can also choose a successor to United States Sena tor Eugene Hale and give Maine her first Democratic Senator since 1863 and New England the first since the selection of William D. Eaton in Connecticut in the late 70s.

Work on thib road has been in progress for over a year and the road in places was built with great difficulty. In some places it was necessary to blast through rock. Formerly there was only a trail from the Allegany road across the moun tains to Loon Lake and Scottsburg, Tbe trail has been oonverted into a good wagon road and it makes a short cut out of tbe Coos Bay coun try. The owners of the auto line on the Drain route are planning to put two autos on the new road next year. Passengers can be taken from here to Allegany and the new road is the shortest cut to tbe rail, road. Not only will the new road make a good route out of Coos Bay, but it will be of vast benefit to many ranch ers. In the Loon Lake country there is fine farming land, but here tofore it wag only reached by a trail and the farmers had no ineanB of getting their produce to market. The road puts all those farms in close touch with the markets and the creameries. Capt. C. E- Edwards of Allegany, who has long been advocating tbe construction of the road, is greatly pleased over its completion as it opens up tbe lich Loon Lake coun try to Coos Bay. Capt. Edwards is now desirous of having a road built from Loon Lake to Elkton, a dis tance of eleven miles. This road would reduce the distance between Allegany and Drain to fifty-three miles, thirteen miles less than the Snottsburg road. Residents along the route favor it and will probably vote a tax for its construction and also petition the Douglas county commissioners to make an appro priation for it.— Coos Bay Times. m We Repair We Do WATCHES CLOCKS JEWELRY COMBS BARRETTS PHONOCRAPHS ACATE CRINDINC AND POLISHING STONE SETTINC RINC M AKINC ENCRAVINC c< c< a All Work Guaranteed E.
