The Free Seed Graft.

Washington, Oct. 9.-It is now
thought that the practice of dis
trlbuting free seed by the govern
ment will cease after the action
of the next congress,.,wi a saving
of a quarter of a million of dol
lars. No one really wants the
nuisance except the firms which
sell the seeds to the government
at a high price.

of San FranciSco's representative busl-
ness men. AS a farmer and wholesale
buyer of cattle Mr.. Bayley has for
wears met done business with and

long and successful career as busl-
ness man, his wide acquaintance with

parts of the state his frankness and
his honesty fit him for the right per-
formance of all the duties of that office.
Mr.. Bayley's record of forty years
citizenship and service In the state and
the esteem in which he is held by citi-
zens everywhere are expected to cause
all good citizens, regardless of politics,
to work for him before and vote for him
on the sixth of November. and thereby
insure the election of the candidate
best fitted by training and experience
for this high office.
The New San Franciscan, Repub-
lican journal, in its last issue, speaks
of Mr. Bayley as follows:
IS. s Bayley, Esq, Democratic NOM
inee for state treasurer, is one Of the
representative men Of San Francisco.
If elected, which we sincerely hope he
will be for the good of the state, he
will make one of the best officials that
ever filled that office"

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
BRUNSWICK, Me-, Oct. 27.-The
exciting experience of a Smith college
professor, DR.. Harris H. Wilder, and
his bride while on their honeymoon be-
came known today A short time ago
DIR. Wilder went to Boston and married
his assistant at Smith, Miss Inez Whip
pie.
Plans had been made to pass their
honeymoon on an uninhabited island
near Mere Point. Having pitched their
. tents Mrs. Wilder noticed a number of
cattle grazing near DR.. Wilder started
to drive the intruders away, and sue
ceeded with the exception of a big
bull. The dinner was left untasted,
for the approach of the bull was a
warning not TO linger.
A swamp was close at hand, and in
that the doctor and his bride found
refuge. After several hours the bull
got tired of watching and rejoined the
herd. Then DR.. and Mrs. Wilder, re-
turned to the tent. The bull soon dis
covered that and again drove them into
the swamp.
DR.. and Mrs. Wilder then retreated
to their boat For a long time they
were held off the island, but at last
managed to land and pack up wha t
little the bull had left of their camp
ing outfit

BELL CERTAIN
Of SUCCESS
(Contlnued from Page One,


waged by the Republican machine
against the non-partisan county ticket
leaders of the movement express con.
elected.
I'VE are gaining strength every day.
said Secretary North of the non-parti.
san county committee yesterday, "and
| predict the election of every man on
| the ticket"
Milton X. Young, former chairman OF
the Democratic county central commit.
tee and non-partisan nominee for Judge
or the superior court, predicts victory
for the entire ticket.
| AFTER careful observation of public
opinion 1 am satisfied that the entire
county non-partisan ticket will be
elected,' said Mr.. Young yesterday. 81
Dase this view upon what appears to
be almost a unanimous expression OF
sentiment favoring the movement.
There are many reasons why the
non-partisan ticket should be elected
and none against its success. The
selection Of men for office by reason OF
their fitness rather than their party
affiliations is so reasonable that no par
tisan feeling can, in my judgment
bring party success in this election. /
yet have to hear of the first worthy in
dependent movement In this country
In the past two years that has not sue
ceeded. The voters will exercise their
choice and should do this in regard to
men without regard to the ticket upon
which their names may be printed, and
such discrimination should cause vote
against an unworthy name on any
ticket.
Recent events in San Francisco have
SHOWN the danger of a powerful and
corrupt machine, and / do not believe
that such growth will be permitted or
Is possible in this community. 1 do not
intend to reflect upon the names of
worthy candidates on whatever ticket
found, as the exercise of an indepen-
dent spirit will bring them the support
of the voters to which they are entitled.
AS to Marking Ballots
1.-THE ballot presented to the voters In
this county at this election will require
the intelligent study of the electors il
their votes are to be correctly regis
tered. The party voting circle at the
top of the ticket by which one may vote
a straight ticket should never have
been adopted, as it Is an inducement
to straight party voting and the selec-
ton of candidates that the voter would
not support if each name were voted on
separately. The better way is to stamp
a cross after each name and keep the
cross out of the party voting circle.
"If, however that circle is stamped
the voter can vote for candidates on
other tickets by placing a cross after
their names. Owing to some uncer-
tainty in the law with reference to the
instructions to voters the non-partisan
county ticket should be voted by plac-
ing a cross after the name of each
candidate"
