Primary election yields strong GOP showing in September race
The primary returns show Governor Brewster renominated by about a two to one margin over Thayer, with Augusta candidate Priest McLean unopposed for the gubernatorial nomination. State Auditor Hayford was renominated for a third term, while Drake won a solid Republican senate nomination. Numerous county races energized Republicans. Democrats fielded fewer contenders, limiting insight into September strength.
