ENDORSED BY THE PRESIDENT

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. f5.-Renom-
ination Of Gov. Charles Il, Hughes by
the republican state convention at its
session this afternoon seems today to
be the probable outcome of battle
in which most of the fighting has
been done by the opposition. No
stone has been left unturned by the
leaders who desired and still desire to
prevent the governors denomination,
and they are still hoping that they will
find some way to accomplish his de.

the anti-Hughes leaders gave Hughes

caucus of that delegation showed rs

BRYAN "A rRIcksrERp
Declared William Randolph Hearst
at Formal Notification


Atlanta Ga, Sept. 1.-TWO thous-
and persons listened to the formal no
tifcation OF John Temple Graves as
nominee OF the Independence party
for vice president of the United States
lat the Casino theatre last night Pres.
ldentlal Nominee Hisgen, William
Randolph Hearst and score OF others
prominent In the party were on the
platform. Mr. Graves was given an
ovation.
Mr.. Hearst in his address declared
" William J. Bryan was sincere he
should not have approached him four
months ago with the proposition to
support him Bryan in the campaign
and he (Bryan) would support him
(HearsD in the next campaign.
Mr.. Hearst said in part.
Look at this man Haskell whom
Bryan made chairman OF his commit
tee on platform and treasurer of his
campaign fund. This man Haskell,
known as a political paymaster of the
Standard OIL is asked by Mr.. Bryan
first to make platform the Standard
Oil will approve OF, then to collect
from the Standard Oil the material ex-
preston of their approval.
u have come to regard Mr.. Bryan
as a trickster, trimmer, a traitor.
Mr. Bryan alleges | am angry at
him because he did not support me for
the presidency at ST. Louis four years
ago. That is not true. If Mr.. Bryan
thought | was not the most available
candidate it was his duty to oppose
me. But If Mr.. Bryan thought was
not the proper candidate, he should
not have approached me in New York
four months ago with proposition to
support me in the next campaign IL
would support him in his campaign"

ONE RESERVOIR DRY
City Of Barre Depending on Pump
and a Brook

oflo q oiOOH
Barre, Sept. 14.--Three weeks with.
out rain has reduced Barre City's wat.
er supply to the lowest point this sea
son, and unless the drouth is broken
by rain, Barre will be almost without
a public water supply soon. The Or
ange brook reservoir has been as dry
as the proverbial bone for two weeks,
but the supply in the Bolster reser-
yoir has held out and there is at pres
ent fairly good amount of water in
this reservoir
Water Superintendent Russell has
started the pumps taking water from
the Stevens branch near the Smith
stock farm to the Bolster reservoir
and this supply will last for some
time, although the brook is extremely
low.
All use of water in the city not alb
solutely necessary has been shut off
and there have been rumors of shut
ting off the water from some of the
granite plants, but this will not be
done at present.
The fountain in the City park has
been shut off for several days and the
streets will not be sprinkled until the
situation is relieved Most of the pri
vate water plants are as low as that
belonging to the city.

REPUBLICANS WIN
OUT IN MAINE
BY ONLY 1000
Plurality is Remarkably Small
For Presidential Year.
LEGISLATURE is REPUBLICAN,
Democratic Candidate for Governor
Proved to Be Remarkably Strong
in Both City and County.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 1b.-The repub-
leans carried Maine yesterday by
something over 1000 plurality, as
against 26,S16 in the last presidential
year, and 1864 in 1906. At midnight
returns from 46S out of $40 cities1
towns and plantations In the state gave
for governor:
Bert NJ Fernald, republican of Po-
land 72,117 and Obadiah Gardner dem
ocrat of Rockland 64,903.
In 1904 the same places gave 1884
for Gov Cobb republican and 49,
416 for Cyrus Davis of Waterville dem
ocrat. The missing towns which are
small. four years ago, cast 1896 repub-
lican votes and $50 democratic.
The republicans carried all four con
gressional districts by about four
congressional districts by about the
usual plurality. Amos l.. Allen being
reelected in the first and e. c. Bur.
leigh in the third, while John @. Swa-
sey was chosen to succeed Charles
l.. Littlefield in the second and Frank
G. Guernsey successor TO the late
l.lewellyn Powers in the fourth dis
trict The legislature will be safely
republican in both branches.
The vote was the heaviest since
1888, running well up to 100000. The
gains, however. were mainly by the
democrats, the party vote increasing
more than 1900 over that of 1904
while the republican vote fell off
about $500.
The republican plurality is e the
smallest recorded in presidential
year in % years.
The two parties split even in the
20 cities, each capturing 10. The
voting was particularly heavy in the
rural districts, where the democrats
largely through the popularity of Mr..
Gardner among the farmers. made
greater than any of the republican
leaders had anticipated sand shoxed
not only the warmth of the contest
but the popularity of Mr.. Gardner
throughout the state, in the cities as
well as in the little rural districts.
where his patrons of industry proved
great vote gamer.
The republicans were on the defen-
sive Throughout the campaign, seeking
TO hold the state by the usual plurality
by answering the various democratic
arguments, which were mainly for re-
submission of the prohibitory and re-
from in administrative methods.
Local issues, however, proved more
popular, and in the last days Of the
campaign the republicans joined with
their opponents in discussing them
and, doing so, strangely defended the
so called Sturgis law and urged the
voters to. support its stringent meth
DDS in the enforcement of prohibition.

North Adams. Sent. l5.--A j. Buffum
again went through the Blackinton
mills yesterday and spent most OF the
forenoon over there. II was rumored
after that that he had already taken
charge but this was not supported by
authorities.
II is understood that an agreement
with him may be completed before the
week is out and that he will take
charge of the manufacturing at the
mill II he is not now practically in
charge.
On the best of authority II Is stat
ed there was no chance of the mill shut

Il is said by the same authrolty for
the organization of a company which
is ready to take the mill If other plans
do not come TO head.
The parties who are willing to take
the mill should other plans not come
to a head are not local men.
