PITCHERS FROM

number of good men in the college ranks

He has received several offers to turn pro-

young and splendidly built, being six

careful coaching he should develop into a

OPENING THE CAMPAIGN.
Political Conventions in Maine and
Vermont.


With the holding of the first two po-
ltlcal convention of the leading parties in
New England today. the republican state
convention at Montpelier, VT. and the DEM
ocratlc state convention at Bangor, Me-,
the campaign of 1906 will be formally
opened. Much interest attaches to the con-
tests to be waged in Vermont and Maine.

elections In these states come earlier than
In any of the other states In this part of
the country. that in Maine this year being
on September 10. and in Vermont Septem-
Der 4. For this reason the managers OF
the great national parties are watching the
situation in New England's northern states.
and many speakers OF national prominence
will participate In the campaigns. This
Is especially true of Maine, where the re-
,publicans are anxious to make a good show
ing and where the political orators are
expected to include Speaker Cannon OF the
national House of Representatives and
other prominent republican leaders.
In both states, however the contest will
be fought principally on the local issues.
In Maine the issue Is the resubmission to a
referendum OF the provision of the state
constitution providing for the prohibition of
the sale of intoxicating liquors. The demo-
Gratis favor resubmission. while the repub-
licans q whole are opposed to II.
The situation in Vermont is somewhat
complicated. but IT is understood that a
strong effort will bs made to bring about
a fusion OF the democratic and independent
movements. with Percival w. Clement OF
Rutland as the candidate for governor of
both parties.
In the republican convention no oppo-
sition IL expected TO the nomination of
