Gam Control of Legislature. 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.

The Dew road which extends fr< m
Allegany to Scottsburg has been
completed. 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.
