NOT So MUCH
IN MAINE AS REPUBLICANS
EXPECTED.
THE DEMOCRATS GAINED
Several Members in Low
e Legislative Branch.

Portland, Maine, Sept. 12.-The re-
turns received up to midnight indi.
cate that Maine has given Hon. Will
liam T. Cobb, the Republican candi-
date for governor, plurality Of about
$4,000 which is but slight reduction
in comparison with the vote at the
previous biennial election.
This, the Republican leaders claim,
is better than they anticipated. They
had supposed that the Democracy,
reunited since the Bryan campaign
and better organized than in recent
years, would have a more formidable
line Of battle than two years ago.
The Republican state committeeman
said they would be satisfied If the
$4,000 plurality of four years ago were
duplicated. The Democrats called this
bluff" and said that II the Republi,
can plurality of $4,000 in the state
election of 1900, the last presidential
year were not equalled, it would be a
Democratic victory.
Lively contests over county issues
with special reference to the enforce,
ment Of the prohibitory liquor law
helped to bring out a big vote. The
weather in the early forenoon was
cloudy but most of the day the sun
shone brightly.
The Democrats have gained several
members of the lower branch of the
legislature and have elected few new
county officers.
Representatives Amos L. Allen, of
Alfred, Charles e. Littlefield, of Rock.
land, Edwin T. Burliegh of Augusta,
and Llewellyn Powers of Houlton are
reelected by pluralities only slightly
under those of two years ago. A lit.
tie harder fight was made in Repre-.
sentative Powers district than in the
others but he had a strong lead.
Prohibition received set back by
the defeat Of the Rev. Charles s. Cum.

scoggin county, who has been rigidly

carried his own city, Rockland, by a

which Rockland is part, and the only
Democratic county in the state, was
very close but the probabilities are
that Cobb has won out by narrow
margin.

Maine, wired President Roosevelt and
Chairman Cortelyou late tonight that
the Republican plurality would be

THE FAIR
WILL BE HELD SEPT. 27, %,
20 AND 80.
$4,000 IN PREM U MS
Later Date Chosen to
Suit the Farmers.

The Stark county fair is but two
weeks away 1t begins on September
81 and continues four days. On the
28th and 10Th night fairs will be held at
which there will be band concerts and
all the special attractions.
Canton has It's racing blood well
warmed up and the fair will give an
opportunity for seeing some more good
racing before the winter sets in. There
are two $400 purses that are expected
to attract good fields, another of $500,
two of $3.50 and one of 5000. AS there
Is but one race for Wednesday, a
series of automobile races has been
arranged for that day. The speed
purses amount to $1.75O and the entire
premiums exceed $4,000.
A number of special attractions have
been booked by Secretary Lehman,
including comedy trick house, Jug
glers on slack wires, Roster, the aerial
trapeze wonder, ETC., have been Sc
cured.
The fair Is held two weeks later this
year than formerly. This was at the
suggestion of the farmers who wanted
the date fixed late enough so that they
could have their seeding done and also
at time when their grain and fruits
would be fully developed. The indica-
tions are that the fruit display this
year will be the best for many years,
as the crop is larger and more per.
feet
Cattle entries are already being made
and the indications are that with ia
vorable weather the fair will be the
best that the county has held for
many years. The interest is more
widespread and farmers have had a
good year and feel like indulging them
selves in little enjoyment.

TRAIN ROBBERS
TWO VERSIONS OF THE
LATE HOLDUP OF
CANADIAN PACIFIC TRAIN
Whole Bunch Of Police
After Robbers

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 1.-TWO
versions are in circulation relative to
the train robbers who held up the
Canadian-Pacific railroad trans-contin-
entail train late Saturday night 20
miles east of Vancouver and secured
$1,000. Both stories appear to be well
founded. One is that j. Shortreed, of
Abbottsford, went out hunting the rob-
bers single handed. He worked on the
theory that the robbers, after leaving
the train, would work towards Linden,
Washington, small place near Sumas
and then take the Yale road.
The road was muddy and had not
been traleved Sunday. Shortreed dis
covered the tracks Of three men and
also found piece of burnt fuse. This
was significant as the robbers were
known to have had dynamite. The
tracks led into the woods close to the
boundary and it is not known whether
the bandits are still there or managed
to get across the line.
The other report, which has reached
the police at Westminster, has it that
the men were surrounded near Fort
Lehman, a mile from where Shortreed
said they would be found.
A force of Pinkertons was gradually
drawing in upon them.
All the provincial police Of British
Columbia, the local police from every
city in the province and the entire
staff of Canadian Pacific railroad de-
tectives in British Columbia, headed
by the general superintendent, are
looking for the desperadoes. The au-
thorities OF Vancouver expect to hear
of their capture before many hours,
The robbers are armed and bloody
encounter seems inevitable.
