land will decide who the next Mayor OF
Portland n to be, for Republican nomi-
nation Is equivalent to an election. The
campaign previous to these caucuses has
been brief. but: has been very lively and
aggressive. Both the friends Of Judge
Frank W. Robinson and of Mayor Charles
b. Randall have left no stone unturned
TO win. Thorough oanvasses have been
made by both parties in every ward In
Greater Portland and more activity has
been displayed in this ante-primsry
campaign than is often shown. just
what the result will be there are many
people in Portland who claim to be able
to predict within few hundred votes

fore.
Saturday was a very busy day with
the friends Of both candidates. Mayor
Randal's office in the city building
was crowded al day with his lieutenants
who came in to make their reports Of the
way things were progressing. At the
rooms Of the Republican city commit.
tee there were many men ut work who
were Engaged In examining the check
lists which are TO be used at the eau

week ago Saturday night, containing
q long article sulogistio of Alderman

the Commercials able Portland CORE
spondent, was put on every door step In
Ward g. This article explained at great
length tho many benefits which Alder
man Rounds had conferred upon the city
Of Portland.
The purpose of this campaign libera-
ture was to impress the fact upon the
people OF Ward 8 that Alderman Hounds

to all the candidates, said Saturday night
that he believed MIR. johnson would gain

Alderman Rounds In the Dght the
chances were against Mr.. Pine and that

Rounds in any evsnt With Alderman
Rounds out of the light this gentleman
claimed that 1t would DO toss up be-

the chances In Mr.. job nson's favor.
Mr. Pines forces are just as sure Of win

regard TO the aldermanio candidates Is
decidedly interesting.

ment as follows:
"About 100 members of the Fifteenth
Minnesota volunteer infantry started
for Augusta during the morning to
avenge the murder by a civilian of a
member of that regiment. The officers
of the regiment tried to stop them, but
failed. The rioters were arrested by
the Third cavalry and their arms taken
from them. They were brought back
to camp and are now under guard.
General Sumner, the division COM

and all danger is apparently over"
