G. O. P. Maine Elects
Democratic Governor
Rock-ribbed republican Maine ap
pears to have deserted its former pol
itical moorings by going democratic
with a bang. 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. The fol
lowing returns in recent gubernator
ial races may serve as an index to
those who like to speculate on com
parative results:
Elections for Governor'
Year Democratic Republican
1910 _a '73,425 64,672
1914 _ 6p,039 58,862

1930 _ 67,172 82,310
1932 _ 118,789 117,402
Comparing the returns of 1928
and those of 1932, it appears that the
democratic ticket 'has showed a gain
of 53,21'6, whereas the republican
ticket shows a loss of 31,111 votes, a
difference of 84,327 votes in four
years. Maine has voted for a Demo
crat for president only twice in over
three-quarters of a century. It gave
its electoral vote to Buchanon in
1856 and to Wilson in 1912. The
various presidential returns since
1876 were as follows:

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.”
