Maine Election Results Tilt Toward Prohibition Laws
In Maine the Republican plurality for governor fell to about 8,000 as turnout rose. Governor Cobb and Congressmen Littlefield and Allen were reelected or retained with smaller pluralities. Prohibition era issues, especially the Sturgis law and enforcement by state police, dominated the campaigns and local ticket outcomes. Rockland went to Davis. Augusta stayed Democratic amid broad GOP gains in the legislature. Roosevelt appoints Sniffen as army paymaster general.

Independence League and Democratic Party Unite on Ticket
Hearst opposed the plan to form a joint committee to select a candidate slate. The idea, proposed by William J.

Hearst urged sticking to principles, while refraining from action on Conners’ petition. Also reports from Havana note Zayas joining rebels, U S warship protection, martial law in Pinar del Rio, arrests of liberals, and a bank robbery in Akley, Minnesota.
