can governor in the state OF Maine.

polled I OF the largest votes in the
history OF the party i'll this state, His
issue in The campaign was the re-sub-
mission of the liquor question. which
was incorporated in the state legisla-
tuTe four years ago.
More interesting. from a certain
standpoint, was the reelection OF Con
gresham Charles Z. Lit1lede!G, Rep,
OF the Second district, by q greatly re-
duced plurality. Congressman Little
fields candidacy was the subject Of
bitter opposition on the part OF Sam,
uel Gompers, president OF the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, who asked
for his defeat on the grounds that he
voted against certain labor measures
at the last session OF congress.
The issue between Gompers and
Liotleheld vas taken up by the Re
publican congressional committee and
for three weeks the district has been
the scene of a hard fight in which Sec
rotary Of War William H. Taft. Sena-
tor Lodge and Senator Beverage and
several congressman were pitted
against the head of the Federation of
Labor.
Mr.. L~iJtlefeld's plurality is estimat-
ed at about 1000.

AN INTERESTING APPARATUS.
Installed at Naval Academy For In
structlon Of Midshipmen.

a very interesting apparatus has
been installed in The Armory at the
Naval Academy for the purpose of
being used for the instruction of the
midshipmen in small arm practice. a
branch which is under the depart
ment Of ordnance and gunnery. and IN
which Lieutenant Harris Laning is
instructor
The apparatus is installed by the
Sub-Target Company, Of BotsoD. Mass.
IL consists Of a stand containing arms
which are balanced when q rife of the
ordinary type is placed in position
suspended from ooe OF them. The
rife is so placed that il can be aimed
at small targets reduced so as to pre-
sent the same appearance as a regula-
tlon target ct the different ranges.
The pulling of the trigger closes an
electric circuit and pits in operation
machinery by which a small card, con-
tanning the representation Of target.
is indented in just the place at which
the rifle is aiming at the target.
The card can then be withdrawn
and shows exactly where the bullet
would have hit the target. Very sue
essful results are expected from the
use Of the machine
