was precisely to the liking OF the Demo-

SENATOR DICK IS
 STILL ON THE TOP
IS STILL cHIEFTAlN IN OHIO RE. PUBLICAN POLITICS-BOTH SEN AToRs AND PRESIDENT ARE ENDORSED.

Dayton Ohio. September 12.-In what had been for years the Off year in state elections the republicans of Ohio today held one of the hottest conventions in the history of the party in this state, and that the contest was not over the naming of candidates for the state offices for which the convention had been called but over the selection of a chairman of the state executive committee, involving the state leadership of United States Sena- tor Dick
 The senator won not only on this propo- sltion, but also on indorsement of his work, and that of Senator Foraker in the United States Senate, many of the re- publicans of the state having taken the position that fin view of the fact that the senaors had not entirely agreed with the policy of President Roosevelt on national legislation, 1t would be inconsistent to give an lndorsement of equal force to both the President and the two senators.
 In winning a victory over Congressman Burton and Harry M Daugherty on these two questions Senator Dick retained his chieftainship and prestige. but on the oth- CT hand the platform in which appeared the merchant marine and some other plans, indicated that MT. Burton had not been idle in other directions. for the Cleveland leaders views were clearly im- bedded in some of the best parts of tho platform.
 On two points, primary voting for the United States senators and tariff revis- ion, one of the Cleveland delegates intro- duced minority report these two blanks. apparently with the approval of MT Burton, and the convention defeated both.
 One little incident of the convention that almost escaped notice came immediately after Senator Dick had concluded his speech, thanking the convention for the vote just taken in his favor. Senator ForakeT called MT. Burton from the front seat of the Cleveland delegation to the edge of the platform for talk Senator Foraker asked MT. Burton to smooth things over by moving to make the Dick indorsement unanimous. With a wave of his hand in protest and vigorous shake of the head, Mir Burton replied:
 Not Slst now.'
 The incident closed without many of the delegates having noticed 1t.

Democratic Gains in Maine

CHAIRMAN GRIGGS HOPEFUL
Republicans Try to Shift ResponsibiI- ity of Losses on Prohibition Issue and DiscIaim "standpat" Idea
 In Recent Campaign.

Washington, September 12.-(speciaD. - Chairman Griggs of the democratic con gressional committee returned from New York this morning with smile on his face over the result of the Maine cleo tions.
 Tt Is a big thing for us." he declared, 'and something democrats all over the country can feel encouraged about. Of course. after election, statements are al- respect they do no good, but may be beneficial to mankind at large The only explanation I have seen offered by our re- publican friends for the slump in Maine, is the whisky question. which they seem to think was more on an issue this year than for twenty years past.
 My understanding is, that the Maine people have had the liquor question with them at every election for a great many years. indeed it is older in Maine than in any other state in the Union; and with the same candidates for governor the same republican candidates for Congress, and with the same question as four years
 
 that in this election prohibition arose in it's might and smote the hip and thigh and it is more than strange that after the election they switched their and dc- clare the whisky question was the main issue when so many of the republican big guns. who were imported into Maine, declared to the contrary.
 sI,r, bot, 2 The issues they discussed before the vot- CTS of Maine were not prohibition nor were they the indorsement of republican policies as exemplihed by the present Congress. but the stand. pat doctrine and the indorsement of the President. Secretary Taft, a member of the Presi- dents household went to Maine to plead with her citizens to stand by the Presi- dent If the small majorities received by the republican candidates, which are the smallest since 1864, are satisfactory to these gentlemen, they ought to be to the democrats. In the last election the re- publican candidate for governor received majority of over 27,OOO. and at this elec- ton only 5000 to 5000.
 "Our average gain in each congressional district Is approximately 5000. and this, de spite the effect that the republicans had the aid of the speaker of the house of rep resentatives and cabinet officers If the ratio of republican loss in Maine holds throughout the country, the next house will be largely democratic. Why should not Maine be a weather vane this year. as always in the past?'

President Roosevelt is KeenIE Alive to Every MOVtnents<
 $S .PLATT AMENDMFNbSSdT
Full Authority Is Given the United States to Interfere In Cuban A- fairs for the Interest of Lib
 erty and Public Safety.

Washington. September 12.-President Roosevelt Is keenly alive to the progress of the revolutionary movement in Cuba and the responsibility of the United States in case the conditions grow worse, and intervention becomes necessary.
 It is known that the President will not intervene unless 1t appears absolutely necessary, yet steps have been taken which would make such intervention ef- fective. The ships that have been sent to Cuban waters are there for the pur- pose only of protecting American in- terests and furnishing asylums for Amer jeans who may be in danger from the warning factions
 Actual intervention would mean the use of the army and all the available forces will be ready. Under present conditions the army has been kept in a better state of preparation than usual. Corresponds ence between the President the Secre- tary of War and General Bell chief of staff, has provided for all contingencies. It Is recognized that intervention would be no holiday matter. Although no regu- lar troops are available on the Atlantic coast, it is known where troops can be obtained soon as neded.
 Authority for the intervention in Cuban affairs is contained in the Third article of the Platt amendment. It reads;
 "That the government of Cuma con- sents that the United States may ex- ercise the right to intervene for the pre- seryation of Cuban independence, the maintenance of a government adequate for the protection of life. property and individual liberty, and for dscharging the obligation with respect to Cuba im- posed by the treaty of Paris on the United States now to be assumed, and undertaken by tte government of Cuba
 This. with the other provisions of the Platt amendment, were incorporated in the constitution of Cuba.
 Some weeks ago the Sixth and Twen- ty-first infantries were ordered home from the Philippines, 1t being stated that their service in the Pacific islands was com pleted. The return of these regiments will bring available troops to the Att lantic coats. and also three transports
