FIVE CANDIDATES. >
All at Sea About the Contest for
Governor


CONCORD, N. H., September 1.-THE day
before the republican state convention
found members of the party in a state of
anxious uncertainty to the outcome of
the five-cornered contest for the guberna-
torial nomination which for months has in
volved the state In one of the most intense
campaigns in It's history.
Not one of the five avowed candidates
for nomination as head of the ticket at to-
morrOw's convention today would make
any claim of having a majority of the dele
gates, who have been chosen at town and
city caucuses the past week, but others
were willing to prophecy Winston
Churchill. the novelist, is one Of the five
candidates for the nomination. AS a ma
jority of all the votes cast is necessary to
secure the nomination, it seemed plain to-
day that there would be choice on the
first ballot. Indeed. many politicians were
Of the opinion that the deadlock would be
prolonged and that 1t might possibly result
in the choice of dark horse.

CAMPAIGN HAND BOOK
DEMOCRATIC CoMMITTEE TO IS
SUE ONE SHORTLY.

The democratic campaign handbook will
be issued by the democratic congressional
campaign committee in about ten days. It's
appearance is eagerly expected by the poll
tfcians, who are looking for the democratic
issues as formally set forth by the party
organization. It Is said that tariff revision
and the trusts will be the main topics OF
discussion in the book.
It is said that the democratic managers
have reached the conclusion that tariff re-
vision is the weak spot In the republican
armor. and they are aiming every shaft at
it. They think the republicans are trying
low in Missouri. in Iowa, In Wisconsin and
ow in Missouri In Iowa, in Wisconsin and
other states. -r.f,r -

Smoke 'em out on tariff revision Is the
ticians say. "Our republican friends are
trying to. tote water on both shoulders "
said a democratic politician. today. but
I allow we will give them jolt that will
make them spill few gouldfuls before
the race Is over"
One of the campaign documents upon
which the democratic managers set great
store is the compilation of Representative
Pat and withstand Pat" many hundred
thousands of which are being circulated The
document goes back to 1857. quoting emf
nent republicans as being opposed to per-
manently maintaining high rates Of duty.
Lincoln, John Sherman, Allison. Blaine.
Garfield. Washburn and many others are
cited in remarks tending to indicate the
necessity Of revision.
There is great demand also for the speech
Of Charles A. Towne. which is being dis
tributed in vast numbers. 1t is the most
voluminous document of all. comprising
thirty printed pages and carries the speech
in full. 1t is only rarely that the campaign
committees handle speech without boiling
it down. Mr. TONNES speech covers all
subjects upon which the democrats desire
to touch, from labor to Roosevelt.
Up to date the democrats have published
and sent out some twelve or fourteen
speeches and documents. while the republi-
cans, it Is understood, have published less
than half dozen. 1t is also said that the
democrats are sending out greater numbers
of the different varieties.

MIR CASEY SAYS NOT GUILTY.
Didn't Fill Up Those Baskets With
 Small Fish.

David Casey pleads not guilty to playing the practical joke on Attor- neys Cole and 'Colley that landed them in the city court last Saturday morning. charged with having in their possession trout under six inch es long. Yesterday MT Casey came to town. looking. as he usually looks, spick and span. He was joked about the joke played on the lawyers, but he pleaded not guilty. His explana. ton of the affair was that some other fishermen. fearing they would get into trouble with the law, managed to get the forbidden trout into the lawyers baskets. There were a num- Der of fishermen in Falls Village the day Attorneys Cole and Colley were there, but who caught the small trout no one seems to know. The arrest of the local attorneys caused more than ripple of excitement In the northern part of the state and no one would even think of insinuating that he knew the one who caught the fish.
 Mir Casey has the reputation of being quite joker, but he says this was no joke, and whoever perpe- trated 1t must have a peculiar Idea of what constitutes fun.
 Before leaving for home he called upon Attorneys Cole and Colley and had dinner with them.

SUED FOR TWO CATS
James Walker Fired when They were Making of with Chickens.

At whatever side of their mouths the two cats owned by Joseph and Elizabeth Mutter, husband and wife living on James street. had been me- owing before May o1. since that date they have been meowing on the other side. All on account of Plumbing Ill. spector James Walkers poor aim with his revolver. The Mutters have sued Walker for $l0O damages for the loss Of the society of their two cats and the matter will be tried out in tho city court as soon at Attorney Lynch can get at it. The Mutters and Walk CT live near each other. Walker has chickens and unfortunately for tho Mutters, their cats have a most inord- mate appetite for young fowl. Tho cats have been raising the very feathers on the chickens, soaring the life almost out of them and kept them in constant fear. Walker tried by various ways to stop the cats from annoying his feathered flock. and fail. ing, he bought n revolver and obtain. ed license for the privilege of car. rying it.
 It is said that on several occasions when he saw the cats in the vicinity of his hennery, he fired over them and he fired under them, he fired to the right and he fired to the left of them. but they were like Tennyson's Six Hundred, he might as well have fired at the stone wall. for nothing could stop them. Finally, however. OH May 21 the cats. now thoroughly used to the explosion of fire arms. made q charge on the hennery and, it is said, were making off with the fat chick ems for dinner when bang. bang went the plumbing inspectors shooting iron and the two cats were laid low. But not dead. It seems that only two of their joint eighteen lives were knocked out of them. The cats got up, crawled home meowing at the oth- CT side of the mouths. and crippled in divers ways They have not been near the plumbers chickens since
