THE RESULT IS DOUBTFUL
 IN STATE OF MAINE
Where First Election of the Year Will
 Be Held Tomorrow.

Portland, Maine, Sept. 1O-A ques- ton mark symbolizes the political situ alton in Maine at the close of the state campaign tonight. For weeks both par ties have been engaged in efforts to arouse the state. Final rallies were held tonight. both sides expressing confidence.
 The rival candidates are the present governor, Bert E. Fernald, leading the republicans. and Frederick w Plaisted mayor of Augusta, heading the demo- cratic ticket. Besides choosing a gov ernor on Monday, the voters of the state will also elect four state auditors, four congressman, county officers and a legislature to name a successor to Hale.
 While the contest for governor is of first interest, it has no great margin over that for congress in two districts For the first time in years the repub- Ican leaders have been called upon to fight stiffly in the first and second districts. which gave Reed and Ding ley overwhelming majorities in election after election.

James Ingalls,.

Opportunity knocks at the door of Arizona tomorrow. Opportunity beckoned to before. If we are needless of the summons tomorrow it will be years and before have chance to answer again.
 Statehood is suspended in the balance. It is for the people of Arizona to say tomorrow whether the verdict shall be at Washington: "We done enter into your reward;' or Depart, and let hear from you no more!''
 September 12, 1910, is date big with fate.
 The people of Arizona have their fate in their own hands.
 We are confident that the result will be to Arizona s credit The people of this territory too intelligent to reject the beckoning call of Opportunity.
 We especially confident of the result in MarcOpa county, for this is the county of the territory of which the citizenship is exceptionally intelligent
 In every issue heretofore, in which the welfare of this community involved, the people of Phoenix and the live progressive ranchers of the valley have stood shoulder to shoulder. Let it be the tomorrow.
 We are bound to have differences of opinion now and hereafter We have all the time there is for an adjustment of these differences.
 But there is but time to get statehood That time is tomorrow.
 There is but one way to get statehood That way to elect delegates to the constitutional convention who will write constitution creditable to Arizona fully pro tecting every in his rights; constitution which may be easily amended in the future to conform to public opinion may express itself from time to time and above all constitution which will be approved at Washington and which will let us into the Union.
 Opportunity invites
 Let elect the republican candidates to the con stitutiOna convention and enter the Union

'G|VES BACK
 NOMINATION Patterson Fears Outcome
 in Tennessee THIRD TERM IMPOSSIBLE
It Came to Him At Last That Independent Demo cratic Strength Joined to That of the Republicans Was Irresistible

Nashville. Tenn, Sept. .iO-In a
 scorching statement Governor Malcolm R. Patterson tonight withdrew from
 his candidacy as democratic nominee [ for governor of Tennessee, furnishing sensational climax to the long, bit ter preliminary campaign.
 The governor had already served ! two terms and had announced his can didacy for d third term in compliance with the wishes of the state commit tee, who declared him the democratic
 nominee without opposition. The op-
 ponents of the governor declined to enter the primary. preferring to sub init the matter to a convention, and the governor in order to avoid threat ened defeat withdrew in the interest of harmony
 Inf signed statement given to the Associated Press tonight the governor says: T became, a candidate for gov i ernor for the third term contrary to my personal wishes. Conditions have arisen however which appear to make my further candidacr an injustice both to my friends and the democratic party.
 When the opposition to me assumed the shape of a refusal to enter the primary called by the state executive committee l proposed that if any gen tleman would offer to run against me to allow him to select his own meth cd and the time of nomination with an equal division of officers of the cleo ton. There was not and could not be the slightest excuse to refuse this. if the party was to preserve it's or ganizatiOn and not disintegrate into schisms and factions; but the prOposi ton was rejected and I was declared the nominee for governor without op- position, and since then I have offered to yield the nomination so as to test anew whether l was the choice of the majority.
 "But to the minds of my ungenerous opponents all things were fair as a means to accomplish my political de- struction. Even then l did not be- Iieve any considerable number of democrats could be betrayed from their allegiance, but now it seems certain that continued appeals to paSeon and credulity have found lodgment which neither fact nor persuasion can change so long as l remain the candidate.

Including the time on the ground between flights it was thirty-six minutes from the time he started until he landed in the aviation grounds.
 Before starting on the river flight he made two preliminary trips of three minutes each. Then he started toward the river and immediately went over a bridge near the field and continued down the river. Going into the air 150 feet he crossed the Inter urban bridge and later the Eads bridge on which 5O,oOO persons were standing.

RESIGNATION 0F LORIMER FROM HAMILTON CLUB RESULT OF ROOSEVELT INCL
 DENT ON THURSDAY NIGHT. The Senator's Friends Trying to Pre-
 vent Vote Of Acceptance.

Chicago, Sept 10.-A terse note of resignation from the Hamilton club. of which he has been a member for many years. was the reply made here today by United States Senator William Lorimer to the action of the club presi dent John H. Batten, withdrawing his invitation to the Roosevelt banquet on Thursday night. While Lorimer urged that his resignation be accepted immediately. it is said that friends on the clubs board of governors, will probably refuse to vote on acceptance.
 By correspondence from Bstten to Lorimer it was shown today that the senator was to have been one of the guests of honor at the banquet. This correspondence also showed that it had been the hope of the club to make the dinner a notable and harmonious occasion. on which all factions of the republican party could break bread to- gether
 At least three invitations were sent to Lorimer, each urging him to attend the banquet To the last of these he sent his acceptance.
 The note of resignation was written after conference between the senator and a number of his friends. and was at first believed to be cue which would be followed by number of his admirers in the club. Later it was de- cided by his friends to prevent an ac- ceptance of his resignation.

They can lose no rights by waiting until after they se- cure statehood before experimenting.
 A. J. Peters consumed but little time, but all his words were golden. He has lived here thirty years. never been in politics except to support the republican ticket in accordance with his convictions, has never asked for political favors and does not now for any self benefit, but wants to help make a constitution in the same way he would coiduct his private affairs, on a strictly business basis. honestly and conscientiously. and for. the best results for everybody. He had no derogatory utterance for any demo- cratic candidate and has known them all personally for many years.
 H. c. Sprunger said he regarded it as an honor to be on the same ticket with men of such wisdom and ex- perience as he attributed to his as- sociates. He would not undertake a long speech, but would say to the voters that when the campaign be- gan he outlined his own attitude and has not varied from it. If elected he will do his very best to help make a

 He said Mark Smith came here and went away again without talking. He did not want to come in the first place. and had so stated to Mir Adams and others. MT. Smith had hoped for non partisan cenvention, just as had many of the republican leaders. But it was settled otherwise, and con- cerning the initiative and referendum Mir.

Then Captain Kitty comes: they push clothes and rags into the hole and the captain orders the pumps put on. A heavy sea is pounding. so I tells one of the fire men that water is rushing in.
 Then about 1:30 Captain Kitty tells us we have got to shove the cars off to tighten the ship. Had

We got three boats off and mCored them and so cleared the side Some of the deck hands got and kept the life boats banging alongside. We loosened all the life rafts so that they would float off when the boat sank

 Shaken Up.

Sacramento, Sept. 10.-After one of the hardest falls in his career as an aviator, Charles K. Hamilton today is suffering from cuts and bruises on his body and a shaking up that will keep him in bed for several days.

His machine drove head foremost to the ground from an altitude of seventy feet, burying the aviator beneath the wreckage. No bones were broken.
