New York, June 15.-New York's
OWL finan cial institution. the Night

hereafter have s.lorter business hours
the new schedule going into effect to-
day. It has been found that New
Workers are not such night hawks as
was expected. and that after midnight
there is practically no demand for the
services Of a bank.
Since tae bank was started in 1906
IL has been open to depositors during
the, entire twegty-four hours with the
exception Of Sundays and legal holi-
days, thus maintaining a standard
unique among the banks of this city.
A close watc.l however. has been
kept close on the amount of business
done after tsae regular banking hours
running from 3 to O'Clock and the
directors have come to the conclusion
that there is so little demand .on the
bank after midnight that they have
decided to close at that hour. The
bank hereafter will open at in the
morning and c1cse at -nidnieht. The
safe deposit company win also OBJ
serve the same hours of business In

II is asserted that the Republican par

Democracy is united as never before.
Two years ago, in a presidential year
the Republicans carried the state by

are awaiting the action of today's con-

ing of the prospects for Democratic
success at the coming State election
said: IT have been following the pol
itical game in Maine for many years,
but I never saw the time when the
prospects we're so bright for the De-
snocracy as they are today, in fact II
SCENE almost certain that not only
will the next governor of Maine be a
Democrat, but he will also have a
Democratic legislature behind him.
Now this may appear to be rather
a boastful statement, but it isn't, as
shall show you. Two years ago at the
State election there were nany rep
r-sentatives elected from districts
which were, extremely close and were
only carried for the Republicans by n
margin of from 10 to 20 votes.
''One innovation which believe the
Democrats of Maine will adopt and
which was mentioned in the lcall for
the state convention. is the pledging
of Democratic candidates for the Leg
islature to support as a candidate for
the United States Senate, the man re-
ceiving the highest popular vote. pro
vidiae there is .nnre than one candi-
date for tae position. While this may
be something of an innovation for
Maine still it has been tried in Ore
gon and gives entire satisfaction. for
IT enables the great mass of the peo-
pie to have a voice in the selection OF
their United States Senators which
under present conditions, they do nor
have. The plan is generally termed
the Oregon Plan" and the way il
worked In that strong Republican
State was bv the election of Senator
George F.. Chamberlain, a Democrat,
who won out, because the people had
greater confidence in him than they
did i'll his Republican opponent"
