with the election less than one week
.vav the reelection Of Congressman
,ohn p. Swasey is assured. Democrats
have claimed that they could carry
mi. district. They have sent reports
al over the country to this effect.
Many people in the outside states may
have believed this. but they will be
Disappointed.
The working men Of the district have
had their eyes opened to the Demo-
,atic Tree trade plans. The paper
workers in the mills at Rumford Falls
and other places in the district are
al united and determined to vote for
CONGRESSMAN Swasey, who has done
m much for their interests.
oxford and Franklin counties will
Increase their majorities for Mr..
sgasey, as will Lincoln and Sagada-
hoe. 1t Is well known that the Knox
Democrats themselves admit that the
Democratic majority in that county
will be cut down. In AndroScoggin
county two years ago Mr.. Swasey ran
ahead of the ticket and he will do the
same at the coming election.
Conservative estimates of Mr.. Swa-
seys plurality are now put at $500,
which will be about double that he
received In 1908. The Democratic cam
paign In the I'd District has fallen
fiat. It is the judgment Of those who
are in close touch with the work of
the campaign that large number of
Democrats will vote for Mr.. Swasey,
II not for the entire Republican ticket.
There is no cause for worriment over
the district which has been repre-
sented by Frye. Dingley. and

AVIATION MEET.
Heavy Fog Allows But
One Event Tuesday.
Claude Grahame White Is Again
Star Of the Meet.
Some Lively Contests Promised for
The Last Six Days.

Boston, Sept. Ga heavy, low lying
fog, driven in by lazy east wind, set :
tied down over the marshes of the
Harvard aviation field at Atlantic to-
day and so completely Obliterated the
landscape beyond the getaway that
only one event-a single try at rising
from the ground with the shortest
start possible was permitted. This
was done directly in front of the grand
stand, Claude Grahame- White of Eng
land getting away in &C feet 10 inches
in his Farman.
T If the fog was impenetrable to the
sightseers, it did not prove the same
to the aviators, however. At the re-
quest of the contest committee and in
good faith toward the 5000 or more
persons in the grandstands, White.
Glenn H. Curtiss, Charles F. Willard,
and Walter Brookins came out in their
machines, of the Farman, Curtiss and
Wright makes and carried on an inter-
esting and daring exhibition of evolu-
tionS in the air Darling up and down
the field, over the grandstands and
parking places, they would appear and
disappear in the fog like fire flies in
the night.
Claude Grahame- White was again
the star of the meet, being in the air
a greater part of the afternoon, al
though not competing in events. His
swoops down over the grandstand and
scarcely clearing the heads of the
newspaper men and officials on the
course were breath taking and caused
frequent scattering. Once he raced
down the straightaway the length of
the grandstands with both hands in
the air, demonstrating his complete
confidence in his Farman.
The Wrights fiiers have found some
difficulty in getting their engines in
the proper working order but hope in
day or two to get fair start to-
ward winning some of the prizes.
Gardner G. Hubbard has his Hubbard
monoplane nearly ready to fly and the
triplanes of A. V. Roe of England will
also be out tomorrow, which promises
to give some lively contests and ex-
hibitions for the last six days of the
meet.

White River Junction, VT, Sept. g.
The Republicans carried Vermont in
the state election today, electing the
entire state ticket both members of
Congress and a Legislature that will
probably re-elect United States Sena-
tor Carroll S. Page for second term.
The following state officers were
chosen:
Gov. John A. Mead of Rutland; lieut..
governor, Leighton p Stack of ST.
Johnsbury: secretary of state, Guy b.
Bailey of Essex: treasurer, Edward II.
Dewitt of Montpelier: auditor, Horace
e. Graham of Craftsbury: attorney
general, John G. Sargent of Ludlow.
Republican congressman reelected:
First District, David Foster of Burling-
ton: I'd district, Frank Plumley of
Northfield.
There was a decided falling off in
the number of Republican voters at
the polls, due it was said to a listless
campaign and to the fact that rain fell
steadily and heavily throughout the
day.
The Democrats did better than the
Republicans, the early returns showing
Watson, the candidate for governor,
equalled and in some towns surpassed
that given Mead. Watson not only
run well throughout the state but car
ried his own city, ST. Adams, turning
a Republican plurality of 1865 in 1908
into a Democratic victory of 416 votes.
Only five small towns went Demo-
cratic two years ago but today more
than a dozen We're recorded in that
column.
The total vote was the smallest in a
quarter of century.
1t was an election in which the Re
publicans saw a plurality of 10000 two
years ago to sink to nearly 10000.
while the Democrats held the party
vote firm. The Democrats also made
gains in the Legislature

Returns for governor from PAP cleo

THE BOISE FAIR

The different committees of the
inter-mountain fair association are
hard at work in arranging the details
of their different assignments and
matters are beginning to take definite
shape for the great fair to be held in
Roise next month,
The secretary has made an appeal
to the citizens Of Idaho for a display
of the products' of the state, and the
response of the people is indeed graft
flying to the management.
Never before I'm the history of Ida
no has there been such splendid ar
ray of the products of the farm and
orchard and mine as will be shown at
the inter-mountain fair this fall.
The applications for space have al
ready overwhelmed the association
and preparations are being made for
the erection of temporary structures
for the housing Of exhibits which are
less lmperVlOuS TO weather cOndltl0nS.
In the line of amusements, no eff
forts are being spared to make ample
provisions for the entertainment of
visitors during fair week. The SER
vices of number of bands have been
engaged for the occasion. Boise has
many play houses, which will offer
splendid bills during the week, and
everything will be done to make the
fair one to be enjoyed by everyone.
A good rogram of trapeze perform
ers and acrobats has been arranged
for to perform in front of the grand
stand, and prominent lecturere have
been engaged to address the crowds.
the most noted of which is Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon.

POP CORN AND MORALS

A great moral lesson comes from
Missouri. 1t seems that the raising
of pop corn is most profitable. A
bushel of it is worth dollar on the
farm; there is no competition to be
feared, for the demands for it is in
satiable. It is no more difficult to
raise this than any other corn, and
yet farmers fight shy of it. The rea-
son S that pop corn has all the ma
tural characteristics of the genuine
polygamist. 1t is proud to mate with
any other corn in the vicinity, and
the result is that the progeny is not
good pop corn and then the excellence
is all taken from the white or yellow
corn which accepts an alliance with
it. It is a case of marrying down
on the part of the honest field corn.
It is like pure and healthy Ameri-
can girl marrying degenerate for
eign count. The genuine pop corn
over the stove when party is on Is
in ull evidence; it makes more noise
than anybody and energies from the
roast white and beautiful, but there
is not a vast amount of substance to
it after all, and does not suffice for
a regular diet, and any other corn
that mixes with it, instead of improv-
ing it, do what it can, is degraded by
the unnatural association, and the
progeny is neither good field corn
nor good pop corn. 1t is case where
the sins of the father are inflicted
upon the offspring even to the third
and fourth geenration.
Moral-Avoid buying pop corn for
farming purposes. 1t will vitiate the
whole crop.
