Frederick w. Plaisted, of Augusta,
the democratic candidate for governor
was elected by a decisive plurality
probably from 5000 to 5000.
Three of the four congressional dis
iricts, which ordinarily are strongly
republican. it is believed, returned
democrats, and returns indicate that the
legislature will be democratic and elect
a democrat as Il successor to United
States Senator Hale.
In the face of the sweeping demo
cratic victory the republican leaders
were overwhelmed with surprise, and
the magnitude OF their successes aston
islcd even the most sanguine Of demo
Gratis 1t was the first beating the re.
publicans Of Maine-the state OF Blaine

John P. Swayzcy, of Canton, republi,
can, is defeated for reelection by Dan

Taft and the Maine Election.

Beverly, Mass, Sept. l9.-lnere
was no statement for the public" given
out at the summer capital today. Inc
results OF the Maine election we're a de'
cided shock and little attempt was mace
to conceal the fact. On the other hand
it was quite apparent that the result
contained q double sting because re-
publican leaders had predicted bene-
fetal result from the recent visit OF the
chief executive to the Pine Tree State.
Although nothing bordering on
statement or even an intimatlon came
from the president direct, the idea was
adopted by common consent here that
President Taft will not be n candidate
for reelection. Political prophets fore
see in the recent successes OF the dem
ocrats the probability OF national cry
for republican Moses. President TAFT
has never in his public utterances or
his private conversations with the news
paper men evinced any desire to Shout
der this role.
While administration supporters still
deny that there is any breach between
President Taft and his predecessor, to-
days returns from Maine again demon
strated the lack OF love they bear
Roosevelt, Just now they are credltlns
him with another demonstration OF an
uncanny gift OF farsightedness and
privately declaring he is daily hgur-
ing that an appeal will soon be made
for saviour of the party. "
The eye OF all the political generals
of the administration forces are now
turned on Ohio and New York, and
the best strategists in the party will be
called on to lend their aid in the con-
tests to be fought in these two states.

Marked for Life.

York, Pa, Sept. 1S.-While initiating
ten young men Of the York High
school into the Alpha Debating Society
too much enthusiasm was shown by
the hazers, who are now liable to be ar
rested, since the lads initiated are prob
ably permanently disfgured. Its said
that the hazers used black oil dye,
said to contain acid which was used to
dye tan shoes black. This acid, it is
said, was applied 10 the faces of the
young men, and yesterday, when they
appeared in their classes, they had
marks and scars that physicians say
they will be unable to remove.
The parents OF the injured boys have
laid the matter before District Attorney
Sherwood, and the ringleadcrS among
the hazers will likely be arrested.

CONGRESS TALKS
OF THIRD DEGREE"


By United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-"The Third
degree was discussed in the Senate
to-day by Senator Hepburn (Republi-
can, 1daho).
He introduced a resolution which was
referred to the judiciary committee,
providing for a select committee Of
three Senators to investigate the So
called third degree ordeal as practiced
by officers Of the law.
At the Request of the Idaho Senator,
newspaper clippings were read giving
an account of the way in which the
Seyler brothers are said to have been
tortured 10 extract a confession relative
to the alleged murder of Jane Adams,
of Atlantic City.
Senator Hepburn declared that it had
been recently and frequently stated
that prisoners were subjected to more
brutal and barbarous treatment than
that practiced during the days of the
Inquisition.
1T is contrary TO our institutions,
said he. "A police officer is even pro-
hibited from conversing with a prison
er. The police may not try prisoner
II is revolving to think a helpless
prisoner may be tortured TO obtain ma
terial for his conviction"
