.MAINE FIRST STATE TO HOLD
j r ELECTION
j*r '■
“As goes Maine, so goes the coun
try,” it has been said, and political
interest for the moment is largely oc
cupied in speculation on the outcome
of the election in that state on Sep
tember 13. A campaign that began in
earnest on August 23 is being fought
without let-up through the final week.
The usual predictions of success are
being issued by both Republicans and
Democrats.
Maine is'unique in its constitutional
provisions for state elections, which
are held in September instead of Nov
ember, and in presidential years the
local contests are viewed as of spe
ial importance. On these years the
fighting is no less for the possession
of state offices, representation in
congress and control of the state leg
islature than for the psychological ef
fect of the outcome on the rest of the
country.
To what extent if any the national
drift may be forecast by a victory or
an increased or decreased majority
there has long been a matter of dis
pute with politicians but certain it is
that national leaders have taken the
tradition seriously and have brought
as many of their political big guns
into the campaign as possible. Four
years ago, Charles E. Hughes wound
up the campaign for the Republicans.
This year both parties have had a big
representation of state campaigners
and have drawn heavily on the na
tional committees for speakers of na
tional prominence.
A governor, state auditor, four mem
bers of congress, a state legislature
and county officers will be chosen.
Maine does not elect a senator this
year.
For the governorship, Frederick H.
Parkhurst of Bangor, who defeated
Governor Carl E. Milliken and Judge
John P. Deering in the Republican
primaries, is opposed by Bertrand G.
Mclntire, of Norway, whom Milliken
defeated two years ago by 5,545 votes.
A typographical error in the Maine
Register of 1919-20 makes the vote of
McIntyre appear as 4,000 less than it
was.
Three Republican members of con
gress are candidates for re-election.
They are Representative White in the
Second district, opposed by Wallace
N. Price; Representative Peters in
the Third district opposed by Archie
C. Towle; and Representative Hersey
in the Fourth district, opposed by
I eon G. P.rown. Price, Towle and
Brown are Democrats. In the First
restrict, where Representatives Louis
B. Goodall has announced his inten
teion to retire at the close of his
present term, the Republicans have
nominated County Attorney Carroll L.
Beedy, of Portland, and the Democrats
Frank H. Haskell, also of that city.
Both parties and gubernatorial can
dates have made the League of Na
tions a fighting issue. Local ques
tions have received less attention,
even prohibition, which for more than
years has figured largely is state cam
paign and particularly in contest for
county attorneys and sheriffs, as vir
tually ignored. The Republicans in
state convention approved the refusal
of the United States senate to ratify
the treaty “without reservations de
signed to protect the safety and sov
erignty and independence of the Uni
ted States.” The Democratic state
platform declared for prompt ratifi
cation “without reservations destruc
tive to the spirit., and effective opera
tion of the treaty.”
Both Mr. Parkhurst and Mr. Mc
Intire endorsed their national and
state resolutions on the stump. The
complexion of the new legislature is
a matter of some concern as it may
be called upon to redistrict the
state and, under the new apportion
ment, Maine may lose one of its four
representatives in congress.
If there is any virtue in compari
sons, the results of previous state
elections may be of interest. A series
of Republican victories beginning in
1882 was broken in 1910 wrhen Freder
ick WT. Plaisted, Democrat, defeated
Bert M. Fernald, Republican, by 8,660
votes. Two years latter Governor
Plaisted was defeated by William T.
Haines, Republican, by a little over
3,000. Haines in turn failed of re-elec
tion in 1914, the Democratic candi
date for governor, Oakley C. Cfurtis,
leading him a little better than 3,000
votes. Governor Milliken, Republi
>
can, won over Curtis in 1916, leading
the Democratic candidate by 13,830
In that year Hughes carried the state
his vote being greater than that foi
President Wilson. The total vote foi
president was Hughes, 69,508; Wilson
64,033; Bensdh (Socialist), 2,177;
Henly (Prohibitionist), 596. Two years
ago when Milliken defeated the pres
ent Democratic candidate for govern
or, Mclntire, by a majority of 5,545
the total vote of the state was 121
669. This nearly 30,000 less than the
total in 1916.

Back-to-School
Days
In a few days, the school bell, after many
weeks of silence, will be tolling forth the
summons, Back to school.’’ To mother,
it will mean the beginning of more work and
less help around the house.
Clothes to be gotten into shape—youngsters to be dressed and
fussed over—little folks too busy and excited to be of much use
to mother.
Fortunately for mother, she has no longer to worry about the
clean clothes problem—each week she is sending her family wash
to us. The time once given to slaving over the wash-tub and
wrestling with heavy boilers and baskets, are now devoted to
better care of the children and the home.
The spic-and-spanness so noticeable in school children today
is a laundry product. Why not YOU give yourself and the kiddies
the benefit of it. A minute at the phone will do the work.
