THE GRAND OLD PARTY IN
MAINE WALLOPED. : =.
The Democrats Elect Governor, Two Congress-
men, and Have a Majority in the
Senate and House.

DEMOCRATS ALSO WIN IN ARKANSAS AND M
ARIZONA.

The Democratic ticket in the State
of Maine made a telling blow on the
G. o. P. which will long be remem-
bered. 1t is one Of the greatest politi-
cal revelations Maine has ever known.
In the election Democrats elected the
Governor, two Congressman, and con-
troll both Senate and Legislature.
All the Republicans have saved is
Archer @. Kinds, who mas been elect
ed to Congress in the First district
by about 500 plurality, and Congress-
man Guernsey, in the Fourth, who is
reelected by small margin.
The Democrats will control q out
of 81 State Senator's and IS out of 151
Representatives to the State Legisla-
ture. The Legislature will elect a
Senator to succeed Eugene Hale, who
will probably be Charles Z. Johnson,
Of Waterville.
The Legislature, which convenes in
January, will have the redistricting
Of the Congressional, legislative and
councillor districts, to stand for a
decade.
Governor-elect Plaisted will have
the appointment of two associates
judges OF the Supreme Court, Su-
perior Court judge, State Highway
Commissioner and other important
officials.
With only 81 of the 521 cities and
towns and plantations missing, the
vote for Governor is Plaisted
(Dem.), 73,245; Fernald Rep), 64,736.
The missing places four years ago
gave Cobb Rep.), 315 and Davis
(Dem), 157.
McGillicuddy, elected over Swansey
in the Second district, will have plu-
rality of more than $500, and Gould,
elected to succeed Congressman Bur-
leigh in the Third district, will have
more than 1900.
One Of the first things which the
Legislature will do will be to repeal
the obnoxious Sturgis Enforcement
law, which is declared to be undemo-
cratic and unAmerican.
The prohibitory amendment, which
forbids the manufacture and sale OF
intoxicating liquors, will be resubmit-
ted to a vote OF the people.
Such prominent Republicans as for
mer Gov. William T. Cobb, of Rock
land, and many others who were not
identified with the Ricker-Fernald
machine, take the overthrow of the
party very philosophically, and re-
mark that the people had evidently
decided upon a change and they
made it,

HAM SHOOTS HESSON.
SIX SHOT TOOK EFFECT-NOT SER.
IOUSLY INJURED.
A Woman Caused the Trouble Ham
Held for November Term Of Court.

The residents around Snydersburg
were very much excited on Friday
afternoon when the word was circu-
lated that Samuel Ham had shot VIM.
Heson, and inflicted number of gun
shot wounds.
The shooting fracus is kept very
quiet and not much can be ascertained
for publication. But from what can
be learned Hesson says that from his
home he saw Ham lying in the
woods waving his handkerchief to his
(Hesson's) wife. Hesson left the
house and went around through the
woods until he came within about 125
feet OF Ham, who, on seeing him,
fired. Six shot struck him, one in
the armpit, one i'm the groin, two in
the thigh and two in the knee. Hes
SON declares he was not armed.
Mrs. Hesson denies that Ham
waved his handkerchief to her, and
repels the insinuation of improper at
tention on his part toward her
On Monday Ham was brought be
fore Police Justice Shriver and waved
hearing. He was put under $500
bail to answer the charge at the No
vember term OF the Circuit Court.
Not being able to furnish bail ne was
locked up In jail. He will doubtless
be released as bail will follow short
ly.
Ham and HessOn both live In the
neighborhood of Snydershurg.
Ham Is about 45 years old and has
q wife and IA children living and two
dead. Hesson has O wife and one
child.
DIR. Foutz removed the shot.
Ham il not inclined to make any
statements in regard To the shooting
affair, but, 1t is said, ne will tell some
interesting things before the court.

Df. Lewis COngfatulateS Teachers on
the Great Advance i'm Public Ed
uCatiOn.

The Teachers Institute of Carroll

these important branches.
Emphasis was also placed upon the
Importance of creating in the minds
of the pupils love for rural life, or
farm life, on account of its health
fulness, moral purity and independ-
ence. The platform lectures were
thoroughly inspiring as they held up
with marked ability the highest ideals
OF Christian character and moral con-
duct.
In addition to those on the program
DIR. Lewis, President of Western Mary
land College, was present, and made
an address which was most helpful
and was very much appreciated. DIR.

the great advance in public education
in the county. A feature of the In

music, which it is hoped will bear
fruit all over the country.
