History

[edit]

TheRepublican Party controlled the governorship from theAmerican Civil War to 1932, with theDemocratic Party only winning four times. TheGreenback Party was active in Maine and its gubernatorial candidates had their vote totals rise from 520 votes in the1876 election to 41,371 votes in the 1878 election. The Greenbacks aided in the election of Democratic gubernatorial nomineesAlonzo Garcelon andHarris M. Plaisted. The Democratic Party did not control the state legislature between 1847 and 1911.[1]

TheMaine Republican Party supportedTheodore Roosevelt during the1912 Republican presidential primaries against PresidentWilliam Howard Taft. The MaineProgressive Party was founded by Roosevelt supporters on July 31, 1912, at a convention inPortland, Maine. The Republicans were weakened after losing members including Charles H. Hitchborn, who was the treasurer of the party, althoughWarren C. Philbrook, the chair of the party, remained.Woodrow Wilson won Maine in thepresidential election while Roosevelt received more votes than Taft.[1]

On April 5, 1916, the Progressives held their convention and nominated Edwin Lawrence for governor under the coniditon that they would follow the path of the national party. The national Progressive Party attempted to nominate Roosevelt for president against, but he declined and the party returned to the Republicans. The Maine Progressives withdrew their candidates and supported the Republicans. B. F. Lawrence, who ran for a seat in theMaine House of Representatives, was the only Progressive elected in 1916, but later joined the Republicans.[1]

Robert M. La Follette, who ran as theProgressive presidential nominee in the1924 election, told Gilbert E. Roe, who was running his campaign in the eastern United States, that the conditions for his campaigns were good in the eastern United States except for in Maine andVermont. Republican nomineeCalvin Coolidge received over 70% of the popular vote while La Follette only received six percent.[1]
