Washington. Sept. 12.-If fearless criticism is calculated to benefit the army. then Uncle Sam's soldiers should profit much from the comment upon their condition and abilities contained iu the annual report of Inspector Gen cral Darlington, just made public. One inspector points out a whole battalion er artillery starting for the Philip pines service without a single field of 1i-er and ona of the batteries com than two years service. An inspector general declares that this absence of captains from their commands is the most fruitful source of professional disease in the line of the army to- oIy.'
 Needs More Supernumerary Officers.
 In one department nearly a third of tie line officers were absent from duty q. itl their commands under detail and altogether the situVtion. according to tle inspector general. warrants the prediction that results of disa strous nature must sooner or later b. real ized. The obvious remedy. he says. is thc preparation of a sufficient number r' supernumersry officers to replace those on detail
 rhs dime for specialization in the army has arrived in the opinion of the ,rsue -tor general. He says: We try ro crowd too much upon the officers and e1iis-ed men. That is we try to teach all Of them everything. instead 'f specializing and only teaching each us much as he can learn well with or 'i1ary application. which. however much we may expect. is all we can ever obtain"

Democrats Score Big Victory For First
 Time In 30 Years
ELECT GOVERNOR BY $500 PLURALITY
Mayor Plaisted of Augusta is Peoples Choce-Three Democratic Congressman Probably One Republican Congressman Elected-Republican Leaders at a Loss to Explain Defeat-Insurgency In the Air.

by a coincidence, Harris NJ. Plaisted, father of the present successful candi- date, was Maine's last democratic gov ernor in the year 1881
 Colonel Plaisted the governors elect goes up to the capitol with 8 plurality larger than that given two years ago | to his defeated republican opponent Governor Fernald of Poland. Colonel Plaisted was born in Ban gor in 1864. He ran for mayor of Augusta five times and won four cleo tions
 How to Explain 1t.
 The republican leaders are at a loss tonight to account for their over- whelming defeat. The weather was perfect and they could offer no excuse on that line. The issues were well understood and most of the speakers had confined themselves to state mat ters, scarcely mentioning national af- fairs "' Governor Fernald's administration was stoutly defended against demo- cratic criticism of extravaganza and most of the voters were given an op- portunity of seeing and hearing the candidate, while a few out of the state speakers, including Congressman Me- kinley of California, came here to help. Tho Rural Voter. But insurgency was in the air. The rural voter had been absorbing ideas out of the state as well as in it and this was particularly manifested in the Third district, where Congress
 man Bureigh. with an IS years rec ord at Washington. found himself to- night defeated by his old-time oppon- ent. Samuel w. Gould. The election passed off without any unfortunate incident, in fact. it was one of the quietest in years. The vote
 was about an average one for an off year, and the total will run to about 10000.
 Governor Fernald said tonight: T have no doubt from the returns at hand that MT. Plaisted has been elected by from 5000 to 5000. I don't understand why the vote should take such a sudden change in all parts of the state"

WHEELING FREE OF GAMBLERS. Knock Out Blow Dealt by Indictments
 and Confiscation.

Wheeling, w Va, Sept. 12.-Although the weeding out of gambling places here has been usually followed by a quick new growth. the indictment of seven proprietors by the grand jury last week and the wholesale confisca- ton of the costly para aphernalia of all the known resorts have dealt a knock out blow to games of chance. All the ga ;anlbling houses where, during fair week especially, crowds from Ohio and Pennsylvania as well as this state were wont to congregate. are tightly closed. The prosecuting officers are determined that Wheeling shall no longer be known as a little Monte Carlo.

Portland, Me, Sept. 12.-Maine went democratic today It elected Frederick w Plaisted of Augusta, a democrat, as governor: upset the hitherto solid re- publican delegation in at least two and possibly all four of the districts. and to the surprise of the political leaders, democratic as well as republican. the returns late tonight indicated the pos sibility that the next state legislature will be democratic.
 Democratic Majority in Senate.
 The senate will surely have dem ocratic majority. The house complex ion is in doubt
 Returns from all but 4S of the cleo tion districts of the state showed a plurality for Plaisted for governor of $500. The missing districts are near ly all in remote parts of Aroostook county and in outlying islands along the coast.
 Coneressmen Elected.
 In the Second district, which was formerly represented by the late Nel- son M. Dingley. father of the Dingley law, Daniel J. McGillicuddy was elect ed congressman by a large majority over the present incumbent, Congress- man Swasey, and Congressman Edwin C. Burleigh, who has represented the Third district since 1892 was defeat ed by Samuel w. Gould. another demo- crat, by a small majority. The result in the First and Fourth districts was much in doubt late tonight, although the indications were that Asher c. Hinds. republican. had won over Will jam M. Pennell, democrat. in the for mer. and that Congressman Frank E. Guernsey, republican, had been defeat ed in the latter by George M. Hanson, democrat, by a small vote.
 There will be at least 16 democratic senators out of 31. and 45 democratic representatives out of 51 in the next legislature, with indications that the democratic party will have the choos- ing of a successor to United States Senator Eugene Hale next winter.
 The Vote for Governor.
 The vote for governor, with 4S small districts missing. was: Plaisted. dem ocrat. 12.70S; Fernald, republican, 63,715.
 In the face of the democra tic vic tory the republican leaders were over whelmed with surprise, and the mag nitude of their success astonished even the most sanguine of democrats. It was the first beating the republicans of Maine the state of Blaine and Reed. had had in thirty years. and,

RECORD DAY
 AT AVIATION MEET.
Three Marks Fall Before Johrstene at
 Boston-A Feature Day.

Boston, Sept. 12.-One worlds rec ord and two American records were broken by the hiers at the Harvard Boston aero meet today. Ralph John stone in a Wright biplane made new marks in accuracy. duration and dis tance events. An achievement no less marvellous was a flight of Claude Ora hame- White of England in which he went twice to Boston light and re- turned to the field distance of SS miles, in 34 minutes 1 Is seconds, or almost a mile 8 minute for the entire distance. Using a Bleriot monoplane, Whites effort was the more remark able from the fact that the English man has been suffering badly from malaria the last two days and practi- the contest today.
 Target Shooting from Aeroplane.
 A feature of slightly less interest was target shooting from an aeroplane with regulation service ammunition rifle by Lieut.. J. E. Fickel, a sharp shooter. The army officer went ep with Charles F. Willard. who went round and round the field while the marksman cracked away at targets on the ground. There waS large per centage of hits and from an experi mental standpoint the work was con- sidered highly satisfactory and valus- ble.
 Wilbur Wright and Glenn Fl. Curtiss were again in the air together today. and at the same time Charles F. Will lard and Claude Grahame-W White were circling the course of various events, making four competing aeroplanes- to be seen at once. Wright was enga ged with Brookns in 8 bomb dropping contest over the model battleship, and with 37 of his 90 allotted bombs he made v points, which put the Wright camp in the lead in this event, which formerly was held by White with 75 points.
 Souvenir Collectors Robbed Harmon.
 Clifford B. Harmon of New York was the only amateur to come out during the morning for actual compe- tition in the amateur events. Souve- mir hunters had taken away such i'm portant parts of his own machine when it was smashed last week that he could not use it and availed him. self of the courtesy of Grahame- White. who loaned him a Farman biplane. With this he made marks in all four of the amateur events which will give him the Harvard 5000 cup and three other trophies.
 Claude Grahame- White devoted the early part of his flying to take up passengers. carrying George F. Fuller Of Worcester, A. W. Lambert of St. Louis and F. A. Hinchcliffe of Boaton on several laps of the course.
 Johnstone's Record Work.
 Johnstone then went up for his dura- ton and distance and accuracy marks, in all Of which he made new records. He remained in the air three hours, five minutes and forty seconds. which broke the American record of Clifford B. Harmon of New York by one hour, ten minutes and thirty seconds
