Democrat, 641. Adding the above urea to those already received would give the following: Haines, (Republican) 70.772; Plalsted. (Democrat; 67.156.

From the latest returns It would seem the Republicans have complete i control of the Legislature and will elect a Republican Senator. I Result in Nutshell. The figures give the following result Senate. 23 Republicans, 8 Democrats. House, 77 Republicans; 74 Democrats.

Governor Explains. Governor Plalsted, while admitting Democratic defeat, was not downcast. He saia: "In view of all the Republican vilification, I believe the showing by the Democrats of Maine need cause no. chagrin, especially as the Republican majority Is one of the smallest ever known on a Presidential year. Republican majorities in these years used to run as higli as 45.000, and the -Democrats won in 1910 for the first time in a generation.

"Despite the rumors to the contrary the two factions of the Republican party were solidly united on the state state ticket, however much they may split later on the national. I regard the going back of the Republicans Into the fold, however, as only temporary, and am prepared to enter the next campaign with redoubled zeal." The Democrats lost the Governorship, one Congressman. one United States Senator, the Legislature and sever! offices that are filled by votes of the Senate and House. and 'dl HAIL, ABDUL A' 2 5 ABDUL BAEA.
