maine GOES Dem.
NEARLY EVERY CANDIDATE is
ELECTED BY OvERWHELM-
ING MAJORITY
REPUBLICAN MANY YEARS
Pine Tree State Had Been Republican
For Thirty Years and Demo-
Gratis are as Much Sur
prised as Anybody

Portland, Me, Sept. 12.-Maine went
democratic today. 1t elected Freder-
lex w. Pla sted of Augusta, a demo-
crat, governor. 1t upset the hitherto
solid republican congressional dele
CATION in at least two and possibly
all four districts, and to the surprise
Of political leaders, democratic as
well as republican, the returns late
tonight indicated the possibility thai
the next state Legislature will be
democratic. The senate will surely
have a democratic majority, bat the
house complexion is in doubt.
The returns from all but fOrty-ei2ht
election districts showed a plural ty
for Plaisted of $500.
In the second district, which for
merly was represented by the late
Nelson NJ. Dingley, Daniel j. McGil-
liCuddy, democrat, is elected COngre s.
man by 5000 over John p. Swasey, the
incumbent congressman.
Edwin c. Burleigh, who has repre-
scented the third district since 1892 is
defeated by Samuel w. Gould, demo-
crat, by a small margin.
The result in the first and fourth
districts is in doubt. Indications were
that Asher C. Kinds, the par iamen-
tary clerk Of the house OF representa-
tives, republican, will win over Will
lam NJ. Pencil, democrat, in the for
mer, and Congressman Frank f..
Guernsey, republican, has been defeat
ed in the latter by George NJ. Hanson,
democrat, by a small vote.
The first district seat was formerly
occupied by Thomas Reed.
Indications are that the democrtic
party will have the choosing of the
successor to United States Senator
Hale next winter in the legislature.
The republican leaders are over
whelmed with surprise and the mag
nitude of their successes astCnished
even the most sanguine democrats.
1t is the first beating the republi-
cans of Maine have had in thirty
years, and by coincidence, Harris NJ.
Plaisted, the father of the present sue
cessful candidate, was Names last
democratic governor in the year 1881.
The republican leaders of the first
district claimed Kinds election to-
night by 200. In the fourth district
the returns indicated Guernesey's
election by 400.
Late returns from the legislative
ticket give twenty democrats and
eight republicans out of %thirty-one In
the senate and ffty-eight democrats
and forty-eight republicans out of Isl
in the house.

LLOYD w. BOWERS is DEAD.
United States Solicitor General Dies
Suddenly.

Boston, Mass. - United States So
licitor General Lloyd w. Bowers died
here of complications arising from an
attack of bronchitis.
Death came suddenly while he was
talking with his family. Mrs. Bow
ers, a son and the nurse were present.
The family had been staying at the
Hotel Touraine in this city a fort
night. The solicitor general was 81
years old.
Bowers was born at Springfield,
Mass. He was admitted to the bar in
June, 1882, and Immediately took a
desk in the offices of Chamberlain,
Carter & Hornblower in New York

son of Minnesota. In Minnesota he
had a general practice and later moved
to Chicago where in June, 1855, he
became the head of the legal depart
ment of the Chicago and Northwest
ern railroad. During his 16 years
connection with that road it is said
hat no charges, technical or other
wise, were brought against that sys-
tenn.
He was twice married. In 1887 ne
married Miss Louise B. Wilson of Wi,
mona, Mimi, who died 10 years later.
In 1906 he married Miss Charlotte

The Roosevelt-Lorimer incident was
frequently mentioned by people dis

Senator Lorimer was attending a
meeting of directors of the La Sale

telephone girl at the bank received the
message. Leaving her switchboard,
she fastened to the directors roorr
where she handed a paper with the
words: Not guilty" to John l. Hugh,

message and then handed it to Sen.

He read it, tore it UP carefully and

ants while he was out Of office, after
citing from the testimony and from
correspondence the report says:
His connection with these matters
does not indicate that standard of pro.
fessional honor to be expected from
one of the presidents immediate ad-
visors. Internationally the most seri.
Gus and compromising was his connec'
ton with the Cunningham claims. We
know from himself that he recognized
this fact early and very clearly and
considered it, to say the least, quite
embarrassing.
Had Mr.. Ballinger the moral or
ethical right TO receive fees or perform
services in the prosecution of these
claims against the government? While
he was in the government employ re-
ceiving emoluments for protecting its
rights he was in a certain sense its
attorney in these matters.
Had he the moral or professional
right to receive fees from the other
side Of the case? We unhesitatingly
say he had not; that his conduct was
not up to the required professional
standard and is reprehensible. We are
also of the opinion that he probably
knew that the Cunningham affidavit
which he prepared and submitted to
Secretary Garfield was essentially
false al to material matters.
Despite the testimony of Secretary

other name.
Mr.. Madison, in his report, practi-
cally repeats the Democratic findings
and sums up as follows:
First. that the charges made by
l.. r. CLAWS against Secretary Balm
ger should be sustained; that in the
matter of the disposition of the Gun
ningham coal lands Mr.. Ballinger was
not a faithful trustee of the interests
of the people and did not perform his
duty in such manner as to properly
protect such interests.
Second, that the charges made by
Mr.. Pinchot should be sustained; that
Mr.. ~Ballinger's cours in the admins
tration of the department Of the in
terror has been characterized by a lack
of fidelity to the public interests. That
this has been shown in his treatment
of the Cunningham coal claims, the re-

entry without intention to rewithdraw,
and in his administration of the recla-
nation service, the latter resulting in
unnecessary humiliation to the direct

Chicago, Illinois. Attorney Lee
O'Neil Browne, of ottawa, ILL.,, legisla'
tive minority leader, charged with
bribery in connection with the cleo
ton of William Lorimer, of Chicago,

quilted by a jury in Judge George ker-

The jury, which tok eight ballots, was
out 81 hours. On the first ballot the
jury stood eight to four for acquittal.
Immediately the court o was in
an uprOar. 1t was ten minutes before
bailiffs stopped the cheering, which
percolated through the corridors and
down the elevators of the criminal
court building to the street.
Browne was lunChing at a down
down hotel where he received a tele-
phone message informing him thai
the jury had arrived at a verdict. He
scrambled into an automobile and was
wisked to the court. His eyes filled
with tears as the clerk of the court
finished reading. A second later he
threw his arms about Attorney Char
les Erbstein, of counsel for the de
tense. Browne was then hOisted to
the shoulders of friends and carried
from the court room amid h%andshak-
ing and cheering.

Browne appeared as greatly pleased
as though he had been completely alb
solved of further trouble in relation
to the vexing subject of Senator Lori

INDIANS INVITE WHITE HUNTERS
They Claim There are Ducks Enough
For All.

Duluth.-The reservation Indians Of
the reservations of northern Minnesota
are striving to correct the widespread
impression that they do o like to
have white hunters on their lands and
lakes. Chief MISUNDERSTANDING of
the Bots Fort reservation is out with
a letter inviting duck hunters. He
says that there are more ducks than
the Indians want, and that the money
that they get from white hunters for
service as guides helps them to buy
necessaries for the winter which they
otherwise would have to go without.
The chief warns the white hunters,
however, to bring no liquor with them
to the reservation.
