Maine Returns Strengthen Republican Gain In State
Maine voters backed Republicans in the September election overturning the governorship and gaining three congressmen and a legislature majority. Haines led Plaisted by about 3,500, with Hinds and Guernsey reelected in the First and Fourth districts and Goodwin succeeding Gould in the Third. Local option and prohibition linger in battles with Democrats defending state work as national issues loom. President Roosevelt and Governor Plaisted’s positions draw national attention amid Maine’s local battles. The Nicarágua revolution shows signs of waning as U.S. forces hold rail control.
