SENATOR HAHN
WINS THE RACE
Interest in Days Voting centered
About the Senatorial Contest.
Minor Contests Were
Lost Sight OF
Special to The Herald.


PASADENA, Aug. 14.-At the pri-
maries held in this city today but one
fight of any importance was apparent,
the local contest as to whom of three
Pasadena candidates for the state sem
atorship nomination on the Republican
ticket should secure the delegation TO
the senatorial convention.
AS was predicted in these dispatches
last night the present senator, B. w.
Hahn, won a majority of these dele
gates. He secures 80 delegates, DR..
Sherry and Elmer l. Moody g.
Senator Hahn won by superior gen.
eralship and better organization in the
precincts.
Those who opposed him divided their
strength between Sherry and Moody
with the very definite result that their
blows more often fell on Sherry or
Moody men than on Hahn men, al
though their supporters freely asserted
that they were anything to beat
Hahn
The voting throughout the day was
lively in the extreme and strenuous
efforts were made by the committees
representing each of the three candi-
dates to get out the whole vote.
AS far as the candidates for local
;or county offices are concerned little
definite is known. 1t is probable that
the delegates chosen will soon caucus
as to whom they intend to support for
the other offices.
The Results
A study of the different precinct re-
truns shows that Hahn carried the
second, third, fourth, seventh, eighth.
ninth and tenth precincts and secured
four out of five delegates from the
first precinct, Constable Harley New
ell, a delegate on the Moody ticket,
winning a place by his own personal
popularity in that precinct.
DR.. Sherry carried the sixth, eleventh
and twelfth precincts.
Moody carried the fifth precinct and
one delegate ir the first.
The vote in detail on senatorial dele
gates in the several precincts was as
follows: First precinct-Hahn AZ,
Moody 43, Sherry %; Second-Hahn g.,
Moody 80, Sherry 46; Third-Hahn 7S,
Moody 30. Sherry 43; Fourth-Hahn 49,,
Moody IT, Sherry 20; Fifth-Hahn S2,
Moody At. Sherry 43; Sixth-Hahn Is,
Moody IS, Sherry 3S; Seventh-Hahn 53,
Moody 80, Sherry 20; Eighth-Hahn &C.,
Moody 27, Sherry 49, Ninth-Hahn &c.,
Moody 25. Sherry 49; Tenth-Hahn 81;
Moody IL, Sherry S5; Eleventh-Hahn
96, Moody %, Sherry 55; Twelfth-Hahn
10, Moody 6, Sherry 81.
The number of delegates apportioned
to each precinct follows: First 5, Sec
ond 5. Third 5. Fourth 4, Fifth S, Sixth
q Seventh 4, Eighth 4, Ninth 4, Tenth

VROOMAN ACT
PASADENA CITY COUNCIL is IN
HOT WATER
viii Readvertise for street oiling
Bids, but Certain Members Are
Beginning to Favor the
Former Plan
Pasadena Agency,
1914 East Colorado Street.
Telephone Main 152.

PASADENA. Aug. 14--There Is much
more than a mere probability that the
city may conclude to drop the pro-
posed oillng of the streets under the
Vrooman act and 60 back to the former
more popular plan of oiling the streets
at the general expense Of the city.
At the meeting of the city council
TODAY the special committee to which
was referred the recent bids for oiling
the streets reported that In its opinion
the bids are unreasonably high, rec
ommending, therefore, that the city
clerk be authorized to advertise for
other bids throughout. This was
agreed to.
But there seems to be an impression
gaining ground among the councilmen
to the effect that the present difficulty
in getting low bids for the work and
the growing opposition to this manner
of procedure will soon sound the
death knell of street work under the
Vrooman act.
Mr.. Blodgett, Senior member of the
firm of Blodgett. White & Baldwin,
principal bidders for the projected
work of oiling, told the council today
several things concerning the work
which Indicate that very probably that
company will not bid under the read
vertisement, and that if it does the bid
will not be lower than previously
Hard to Collect
He voiced his company's fear of TAX
ing the contracts under the Vrooman
act, because of the difficulty of collect
ing its pay, objecting at the same time
to the wording of the specifications
under which bids are desired as calcu-
lated to make such bidders uncertain
of securing payment for the work. An
other member of this firm tried to con-
vince the council that his firm had no
monopoly of the grade of oil demanded
on these jobs. but was forced to admit
that he would not sell oil to contract
ors who, in his opinion, would not use
it so as to maintain the reputation of
the OIL"
If there are no bids when the matter
comes UP again before the council, or
If the prices are not quite materially
lower than the last ones, 1t is morally
certain that a move will be made to
drop the entire project and go back to
the old method of oiling the streets.
The contention is that there will not
be time enough to alter the specifica-
tons and readvertise for new bids, that
the old method is far more popular and
in the long run cheaper, and that by
the old plan only can the needed work
be done before the winter rains set in.

Dance at the University OF Maine.

| The Sophomore hop, held in the niver-
sity of Maine gymnasium Friday evening,
| March 30th, was one of the most successful
social affairs of the season. No trouble or
expense had been spared to make the even
! ing a pleasant one. The class colors, red
and dark blue, We're the prevailing ones
used in the decoration. Bunting in the two
cOlorS was aItiStically draped around the
balcony, relieved by class banners and
crossed Sophomore canes. From the corners
of the gym to the central light, college ban
nerS of almost every color and shade made
a brilliant showing. Numerous cnzy cor
nerS made attractive resting places at inter
walls around the room. At one emf OF the
hall large class banner was hung, While at
the opposite end the class numerals >hone
out through electric light bulbs of rpd and
blue In the middle of the hall was an EN-
blem of dark blue bearing the red NUM-
erals and a white "M." Punch was served
from table in one corner of the gym.
Pulien's orchestra, stationed in the balcony,
furnished music for the order OF sixteen
dances. The receiving committee consisted
of Arthur Snow IIanscomb, president of
the class of 1908, Professor and Mrs. Will
liam D. Hurd and Professor and Mrs. IIar-
Old 5. Boardman. The dance orders were
attractive little booklets, bearing the class
numerals ON the cover and with taSSels in
the class coors. Henry Leroy Miner of
Haverhill, Mass, was floor director, and the
following were his aids Bernard l. Col

E. M. C. SEMINARY.

A Summer school for Teachers and sam
mer Boarding House
The prudential committee of the trustees
of the East Maine Conference Seminary held
meeting in Buck sport, March 29th and
voted to permit the use of the seminary
buildings for summer school for teachers
under the auspices of State Supt. Stetson.
The school will open on July 9and continue
four weeks, provided ali advance registra-
ton Uf 30 is secured. Announcements and
application blanks will be sent out to all
teachers in this vicinity within short time.
1t is expected that the school will be well
patroniZed. Names are already coming in,
even in advance of the issuing of the
registration blanks. Another item of busi-
ness was the vote to establish the State
Normal Training course for the ensuing
year. The intention is to provide the most
approved instruction in normal work with
thorough practice in teaching.
The committee also voted to keep the
boarding house open throughout the sum-
mer and have engaged Mrs Eta B. Lyons,
the efficient matron of the school, to take
charge. For many years there has been a
desire on the part of the citizens of the town
to have the seminary dormitOry opened for
the accommodation of summer visitors. 1t is
thought that Bucksport, with its pleasant
drives and facilities for boating and fishing,
will easily become the summer home of
large numbers of people, provided suitable
accommodations were available.
