DOUBT ABOUT
NAMES VOTE
Politicians of Both Parties
Agree That the Republican
Plurality Will Be Reduced
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUGUSTA. Me. Sept. 1.-THE Maine
State election takes place tomorrow.
The campaign has been hard fought
by both sides and it is expected large
total vote will be polled.
Politicians Of both parties agree that
the Republican majority Will not be so
large as it was in recent years A diff
ference of opinion. however; exists as
to which election should be used for
comparison with the present one. The
Republicans insist that the only true
basis for comparison is the vote Of 1892.
for it was in that campaign that the
Maine Democrats were unanimous in
sentiment That year Henry B.
Cleaves, the Republican candidate for
Governor. received a plurality of H.
sos
1t is said that this year, with Bryan
and free silver out of the campaign,
TIE Democrats are again unanimous
This statement, however, is contradict
ed by some of the radical among the
party There are many Bryan Demo-
Gratis in Maine and the name of Parker
has caused no enthusiasm among them.
1t may be fair to assume that many or
the Democrats will now take occasion
to retaliate upon the gold Democrats
who forsook Bryan and this year either
remain away from the polls or else
vote the Republican ticket.
In the campaign just closed the na-
tional issues have occupied a minor
place. From one end of the State TO
the other there has been discussion Of
various local issues. If. the vote to-
morrow should be entirely on national
issues it is believed that Maine would
show a plurality of $4,000 or 10000 for
Roosevelt. With State issues and local
contests involved IL is difficult to esti-
mate what plurality William I. Cobb,
the Republican candidate for Governor.
will get He expects not less than 15,-
900 plurality.
Representative Burleigh said that he
believes that the plurality will be from
1900 to 5000. Representative Powers
places the figures at from $4,000 to 49,
600 The Republican State Committee
believes that Representative Powers
figures will be realized.
George Z. Hughes. the Democratic
member, of the national committee. be-
lieves the Republican plurality is to be
largely reduced and he would not be
surprised. he says, if the figures fell
below 5000.

ALAMEDA, Sept. s11.-Ceremonies
simple but impressive attended the
laying of the cornerstone Of the new
First Congregational Church at Cen

afternoon. Rev. L. Potter Hitchcock
the pastor, directed the exercises,
which were Witnessed by a large as
semblage. Rev. Gilman Parker of
the First Baptist Church opened with
a reading from Scripture and was fol-
lowed by Rev. Philip c. Fletcher Of

designation Is nat 50 commonly used nova

a great mind as that OF the late Herbert Spen-
Ger never appreciated the Word of Cod but
existed in a state bordering on infidelity. II

qualification OF II hereabouts during the last
ten davs. when a powerful fraternity met In
conclave in san Francisco. The insignia Of

into being Are we Christians for Joy com
fort? There is something in II better still. 1t

fellowship in our souls and in our church then
we have a faith and church that will live.

diction, pronounced. bysodhe Rev.
George Morris. who founded the First
CONGREGATIONAL Church twenty-six
years ago.
The new edifice is half completed
and when finished will be one of the
most attractive in Alameda. 1t will
cost $4,000, most of which has al
ready been subscribed.
