| Demos. Sweep Congress Seats In Maine j
By JACK BELL
Associated Press Political Writer
WASHINGTON, Iff) — Demo
crats smashed across a staggering
blow at Republican hopes for re
gaining control of Congress with
a stunning sweep in Maine’s elec
tion Monday.
Maine voters told the nation
there is deep trouble ahead for
Republican candidates for state
and national offices.
A whirlwind of votes carried
Democratic Gov. Edmund S. Mus
kie to victory over GOP Sen.
Frederick G. Payne for a Senate
seat the embattled Republicans
could ill afford to lose.
Democrat Clinton A. Clauson,
a former Internal Revenue col
lector who had been given only
an outside chance in pre-election
predictions, upset Republican for
mer governor Horace A.Hildreth
to keep the governorship in Dem
ocratic hands for the third suc
cessive time.
Democrat James C. Oliver
No Room for All
Independent Candidates
On Voting Machine
JERSEY CITY, N. J*., UP) — In
dependents in this city have beaten
the machine — the voting ma
chine, that is.
City Clerk Edward J. Barrone
says there are so many indepen
dent candidates for office in the
November election that there is
no room on the voting machine to
name them all.
The machines allow only nine
names for each office, and there
are 11 candidates for a seat in
Congress, 21 for the Hudson Coun
ty board of freeholders and 17
for the boulevard commission.
Superior Court Judge John B. 1
McGeehan, acting on a plea by!
Barrone, summoned the Indepen- |
dents to a hearing Thursday.
ousted Republican Rep. Robert
Hale. Democratic Rep. Frank M.
Coffin and GOP Rep. Clifford C.
Mclntire retained their House
seats.
The surprising results, after a
relatively unexciting campaign,
indicated to some political stra
tegists an underlying dissatisfac
tion with the Republicans, going
beyond the usual reaction against
the administration in power in'
off-year elections.
Although the potency of Mus
kie’s personal popularity was gen
erally accepted, these strategists
were inclined to credit the results
of the Senate race to sleeper is
sues, such as Payne’s close asso
ciation with Boston industrialist
Bernard Goldfine.
Like Presidential assistant Sher
man Adams, Payne accepted ex
pensive favors from Goldfine,
who made friends with the influ
ential, but, said he received no
favors from them.
