foreigners made haste to leave the city.

 Whether arrangements to meet the girl were made in advance she was unable to say. Mrs. Warner had only recently spent a week with her daugh- ter at the Cromwell home however, and became familiar with her daugh- ter'S customs, and knew it was GUS tornary for her to be at the church at the time the machine drew up there.

Sacramento, Cal, Sept. 1o-The phy- sicians attending Charles K.

 When picked up his face was mass of b1oodS and it was thought one of his eyes had been gouged out. He was hurried in an auto to the hotel and the doctors who were immediately call ed worked on him until an early hour this morning when he recovered con- sciousness.

Special from United Press.0
 Portland, Me, Sept. 1O.-With the tariff, Cannonism and the Maine pro- hibition law as the main issues, the practical end of perhaps the most remarkable campaign in this state since 1880, when General Harris M. .Plaisted was elected Governor on the combined Democratic and Greenback ticket, was reached today.
 Governor Bert M. Ferna1d is the sted, the Democratic candidate. Gov ernor Fernald is seeking a, re-elec- ttion. From the first it was admitted that Colonel Plaisted, who is the mayor of Augusta and a son of the late Governor Plaisted, would give him a hard run!l The Democra have travagance on the part of the Re- publicans. The allegation has, of course, been denied
 Maine's prohibitory liquor law has been an element in politics this year. Governor Fernald stands for the board created by the Sturgis law, and their deputies are generally called the Sturgis deputies. Colonel Plaisted is strongly opposed to the Sturgis com mission. He is also in favor of the re-subrnission of the constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufac- ture and sale of liquor in Maine. So while re-subnaisSion and the repeal Of the Sturgis Law were not made the great issues or the campaign they are issues. The state fight has largely, been made on the tariff and high prices have added to the general in. terest felt in the discussion.
 Politicians of both parties gre con fdent. It is admitted there will be in any event a falling off in the Re publican vote but Republican politi- clans are claiming the election of 1 Colonel PIaisted but are not as a, rule estimating his lead at more than a possible 1000.
