The Comet OY H. Lyle and Political Grist in Davidson County
A reading of Johnson City political notes shows editor Finis Garrett’s name shift, Swab declining to meet Len Sells, and Harmon and Vines holding titles. Patterson’s gubernatorial race shifts stir independents, with talk of party unity, prohibition, and upcoming conventions.

Maine Democrats Triumph in Statewide Vote and Legislature
Maine voters delivered a strong Democratic win led by Colonel Fred W. Plaisted for governor with about 42 711 votes against Bert M. Fernalds 64 000 amid incomplete returns.
