Gould Winner of Maine Republican Senate Primary
Arthur R. Gould of Presque Isle captured the Maine Republican nomination for U S Senator in a four man race with Percival Baxter finishing second, Buzzell Hodgdon third, and Louis A. Jack fourth. Fulton J. Redman ran unopposed for the Democratic nomination. The vote was light and Gould won by about four thousand over his nearest rival. The result sets up a November 29 contest with Redman, while the light turnout renews debate over the primary system and calls for legislative action.
