DEMOCRATS WIN IN maine
Plaisted Swamps His Republican Ap.
ponent for Governor.

Portland, Maine, Sept. 13. -
There was no uncertainty in the
voice with which Maine yesterday
recorded her preference for COVER
nor and her attitude on the issues
of the campaign generally, tine
plurality given to Frederick M
Plaisted, of Augusta, (democrat)
being deciseiyely large, while three
or four congressional districts
which are ordinarily strongly re-
publican, returned democratic
candidates.
The returns. also indicate that the
legislature may be democratic and
elect a democratic successor to
United State Senator Hale.
In the face of sweeping demo.
cratic victory the republican leaders
were overwhelmed with surprise and
the magnitude of their successes
astonished even the most sanguine
of the democrats.
1t was the first beating the re.
publicans of Maine, the state OF
Blaine and Reed, had had in 80
years. and by a coincidence Harris
M. Plaisted, father of the present
successful candidate, was Names
last democratic governor in the year
1881.

L am not, have never been and
do not expect to be a candidate for
governor of Minnesota. I do not
know that there is any general
demand that I should become a
candidate; I do know that there are
some democrats who would like to
see me at the head of the ticket, but
even if the place were offered me,
backed by a united party, I could
not accept, and for many reasons" "
With these sledge hammer sen.

Minnesota democracy.

that John Lind was out of the race

Judge Stanton has been most
mentioned as one of the admittedly
few in the state who could make a
favorable showing.

men who have been mentioned,

L admit that Mr.. Day did place
the matter before me while I was in

position plain to him, giving him my
reasons for feeling obliged to decline

His Apprehension in Bemidji-
Assault Cases Tomorrow

Cass Lake, Mimi, Sept. 13-On
charge of having threatened the
life of Attorney Charles Argall in a
saloon here Saturday evening, James
Davis, special agent for the govern.
ment, was today fined the costs of
the case by Justice Ives and placed
under $500 bond to keep the peace
for three months. 't-- +
Davis is the man arrested with N.
J. Sero at Bena last Friday on an
assault charge made by A. A. Oliver,
editor of the Cass County Pioneer
of this place.
Davis Arrested in Bemidji.
The arrest of Davis was made in
Bemidji last night by Deputy Sheriff
Brouilette. He was brought here
and kept over night and was given
hearing befvre Justice Ives at 10
o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Argall, the complaining wit
ness, is the attorney who represented
the state in the absence of County
Attorney Funck, at the hearings of
Davis and Sero Saturday.
Still Held as Prisoner.
In his trial today, Davis pleaded
guilty, and sentence was at once
passed. Up to the present time he
has not been able to furnish the $500
bond and is still in the custod y of
Deputy Sheriff Brouilette.
According to testimony offered by
Attorney Argall, Davis visited
saloon here after the court proceed
ings of Saturday and began drink
ing.
Davis Makes Threat.
Argall testified that he became
engaged in controversy with
Davis, who did not appear to
recognize him as the attorney in
the assault cases.
Davis is then alleged to have
threatened to shoot Argall, giving
the attorney two minutes in which
to make his exit, although, ac-'
cording to bystanders, less than
half that amount of time would
have been all that was necessary.
Davis was heavily armed.
Argall Swears Out Warrant.
The attorney not only left the
saloon but kept on going until he
had = secured a warrant for the
arrest of Davis. Before it could
be served, Davis had left for Be-
midi and it was in that place that
he was finally spprehended.
The assault cases against Sero
and Davis will be taken up by Justice
Ives at 10 a. N. tomorrow. There
was some fear that the cases might
go over a week, owing to the fact
that some OF the legal papers were
dated Sept. Fl. 1t was generally
understood that the case should
come up tomorrow and plans now
are that they will be disposed of
