Monday’s election seems to have elevated a democrat to the governor’s chair and sent two out of three democrats to congress. Louis J. Brann, democrat, defeated Bur leigh Martin, republican, for gover nor with the close majority of 1,387 votes out of 632 precincts being re ported. The vote stood as follows: Brann (D.) 118,789; Martin (R.) 117,402, Republican congressman, Carroll L. Beady, appeared to have an edge of 2,2JO votes over, his Demo cratic opponent, Joseph -E. F. Con nolly. Beady represents the first dis trict. In the second district, E. Carl Moran, Jr., democrat, defeated John E. Nelson. With only ten precincts not reported Moran received 41,79 J. votes; Nelson 39,374. In the third district, John G. Utterback, demo crat, defeated former Governor Ral ph O. Brewster. . With 21 precincts missing, ,Utterback (D.) received 34,386 votes; Brewster, 33,238. If there is any merit in the old pol itical slogan, "As goes Maine, so goes the nation,” it looks like a democra tic president in November.

Black-Draught Clears Up Sluggish, Dull Feeling “I have used Thedford’s Black Draught for constipation for a long time, and find it gives relief for this trouble,” writes Mrs. Frank Champion, of Wynne, Ark. “I think it is good for spells caused from gas on the stomach. If I get up in the morning feeling dull and sluggish, a dose of Black Draught taken three times a day will cause the feeling to pass away, and in a day or two I feel like a new person. After many years of use we would not exchange Black Draught for any medicine.” P.
