electing John Mooney as chairman
nominations We're then called for, but
before any voting was done it was dis
covered that those who had retired had
take with them the checklist.
A search was then inaugurated. but
the list was not forthcoming and the
caucus finally proceeded without it.
While the nominations were being made,
the proceedings We're several times in
terrupted by those who. while they had
not left the hall with the others, were
in sympathy with those who had gone
out.
Each nomination as it was made was
protested as illegal. but the protests
We're unheeded and proved of no avail.
James z. Mullen. Forrest j. Morton and
John F. Connolly were nominated as
candidates TO the Legislature.
Connolly is Il prominent labor Union
man and it was chiefly against him
that ;he ring had intended to direct its
efforts, it being the intention to give
the nomination 10 Fred Strickland in
stead of him. The labor union men,
however, prcdominated before any one
left the hall and afterwards it was
simply walkover for them.
The dsgruntled ones claimed that
the caucus was illegal, but several
prominent lawyers have expressed the
opinion that as they were not excluded
from taking part in the proceedings,
but on the contrary left the hall of
their own voltion. the caucus will
stand and they have no redress.
The affair caused no end Of talk
about the city. It was the chief topic
Of discussion tonight. The general opin-
ion seemed to be that it could not re
suit otherwise than in n Republican
| landslide at the polls in september.
Party feeling runs exceedingly high
and many of the Democrats will vote
the Republican ticket rather than sup
port the candidates nominated tonight.
| on the other hand the labor men say
they will all rally to the support of
their nominees. thus diverting many
votes from the Democratic ticket.

Democracy Divided Against Itself and
Republican Victory Seems Sure.
Labor Men Predominant and Name Candidates for
Legislature Proceedings Marked by Strife.

Bangor. Me-, July 13-(SpeciaD.- =
previous to tonight's caucus for the
nomination of Democratic candidates
for the Legislature, from the Democrat
ic standpoint at least, the faithful
claimed that everything looked rosy
for q Democratic victory ct the next
election. At the last election the Ban
gor Democrats succeeded in sending
their men to the Legislature and they
felt confident of their ability to score
another victory at the polls in Septem-
Der.
After the caucus these hopes fell to
the low water notch and instead of pro-
claiming an assured victory the Demo-
cratic leaders are admitting that Moth
ing short of a miracle can prevent Il
sweeping Republican victory at the
polls at the fall election. The cause of
the losss0f confidence and hope is the
old enemy of the Democratic party, in
ternal dissention.
When the time for the caucus arriv-
ed last night John f. Robinson mount
ed the platform and called the meet
ing to order. There was large at
tendance, many of those present being
representatives of labor element, which
has given 4 very practical demonstra-
ton of it's intention to take strong
part in Bangor politics, and more eS-
pecially in shaping the destiny of tbs
Bangor Democracy during this cam
paign. Mr.. Robinson started the ball
to rolling by announcing that the eau
Gus was packed and suggesting that it
be adjourned to Il future time.
In an instant there was chorus Of
catcalls and shouts. The speaker was
shouted down and left the hall. At the
same time Mayor William Il. Pierce
and a large number of the other promi-
nent Democrats, as we'll as many lesser
| lights of the local Democracy filed out.
