PLURALITY CUT ON HOOZE ISSUE Maine Republicans Stood Squarely for Prohibition AND THAT PARTY WON But the Plurality for Governor, Which Usually Approximates 2.V OOO, Was Reduced to About 8,000. Democrats Were for Resubmitting the Prohibition Question Labor's Vote. (By the Associated Press.) Portland, Me., Sept. 11. The re sult of the election in this state yes terday, when the republican plural ity for governor, which usually ap proximates 25,0(1(1, was reduced to about 8,000, while at the same time the total vote was greatly increased over the figures of four years ago, 13 attributed by leaders of both the republican and democratic parlies to popular feeling over tho operation of the prohibitory liquor laws. Although the republicans re-elected Governor William T. Cobb and all the four congressmen of the state, and will have a working control of the stata legislature, the pluralities were so generally reduced as to oc casion surprise In many quarters. Bolh Governor Cobb and Congress man Littletield, in whose district the most vigorous battle of the campaign was waged, are of the opinion that the Sturgls law providing for the enforcement of the existing prohibi tory law by state liquor deputies, was tho loading factor in the result. Position of Democrats. The democrats mads re-submission of the liquor prohibitory amend ment to the people a part of their platform while the republicans stood squarely for endorsement of the pro hibitory plan and its strict enforce ment. The result was especially evi dent in the cities, the democrats ear ning ail of the twenty-one munici palities of the state with th3 excep tion of four of the smaller ones. The vote of the country districts, how ever, where the re-submission idea has never gained any noticeable fol lowing, more than offset the demo cratic gains in the cities. In the second district, congres isonal, where Samuel Gompers, pres ident of the National Federation of Labor, conducted a vigorous cam paign to defeat Congressman Mine field, Mr. Lit tleiield's majority was reduced from that of four years ago by several thousand votes. The con gressman attributes the result not to the campaign against him, but to the general sentiment regarding tin' Sturgls law. Some Political Upheavals. With more cities and towns hoard from on tho morning following a state election than ever before, party work ers realized today alter making tin analysis of the vote cast yesterday, that the election was one of the most puzzling in the history of Maine vot ing. Political upheavals occurred In places which were counted upon to re main tranquil and towns which were expected to switch from one party to the other held fast to precedents and turned in votes which varied but lit tle from those of previous years. This was particularly true in Con gressman Littlefield's district. The city of Lowiston was one of the most important factors in reduc ing Littlefield's plurality, for it gave to McGillicuddy a vote of 1,430 In ex cess of that given to Littlefield. Four years ago Littlefield divided votes evenly with the democratic opponent. Of a more startling nature was the vote for governor. Mr. Cobb failed to carry his home city, Rockland, where Davis received a plurality of seventeen. Augusta, the capital of the state, went democratic by a small margin. Sixteen out of the twenty cities in the state went democratic, Hallowell, Gardinier, East Port and Calias being the only ones to remain republicans. Two years ago when the candidates for governor were the same as this year, Cobb carried eigh teen of the twenty cities, Waterville, the home of Davis and Lowiston, be ing the only cities in the democratic column.
