Two Democratic Candidates.

The democrats seeking Endorsement by
the people for the senatorship are James

Besides the senatorial Endorsement the
people will elect delegates to the state
conventions which will nominate candi-
dates for governor and delegates to the
various congressional conferences, and
will nominate candidates for the legisla-
ture and various municipal offices.
The most interesting contest for con-
gressional delegates is in the fifth district,
where Representative Fowler. a radical
anti-Cannon man, is opposed by Judge
w. y. Runyan of Union county.
There is also spirited contest in Essex
county, which includes the city Of New

If that election was 70 brighten the re-
publcans into greater efforts and they
carried the presidential election for Gen.
James a. Garfield in November.
But Harris VI. Plaisted's plurality was
only 169. while the election of yesterday
appears TO be such a catastrophe, with
one wing Of the republican party fight
Ing the other and with the virtues of con-
servatism and progressiveness being test
ed in almost every state where the re-
publican vote is factor, that ii is
seriously doubted by experienced politi-
clans whether the disrupted organization

Shows Dangerous Trend.
II the result in Maine simply stood by
itself there would be little enough cause
for republican happiness. But following,
as il does, the trend in the special con-
gressional elections in New York. Massa-
chusetts and Missouri. and rejecting the
revolt against the regular republican ma
chine in New Hampshire and. other states,
il is considered 10 be sufficiently indica-
tive of a condition OF political disturbance
and satisfaction with the established
order of things TO warrant the gravest
fears on the part of the republicans for
the result Of the general elections in No
yember.
Everywhere democrats are jubilant and
republicans cast down. One result OF
the Maine tidal wave will be that the
democratic contestants in districts where
there is the slightest chance of ousting
the republican member will redouble
their efforts. Moreover the democratic
state committee. will undoubtedly find IT
easier to I'LL their war chests this fall
than for many years.
Glad Kinds Has Won.
That Asher Kinds. in the first district
of Maine. managed TO squeeze through is
good news to a great many people In
Washington regardless of their political
opinions. MIR. Kinds is well known here
as the parlamentarian of the national
House OF Representatives. although his
Official title is clerk at the Speaker
table" and is the author of Hind s
Presidents. a work in eight volumes
that was fourteen years in the making.
and is considered 10 be the most COM
plete parliamentary work extent. Mr..
Kinds is admired and respected for his
courage and his probity. and last year,
when he announced his candidacy to sue
coed Amos l.. Allen. in Tom Reeds old
district. he was discussed as offering ex-
ceedingly available speakership timber.
There WAS also q state election in Ar
kansas yesterday. The returns show
majorities in favor OF the initiative and
referendum amendment and the usual
large pluralities for the democratic state
ticket.

his play got 81; Francis Ouimet, former

were fourteen tied at 81 for six places.

three holes, where he left off yesterday,
his going showed very little Improvement
over his game of yesterday. In fact, in
difference stood out all over II. He will
have TO reach a higher standard or play
if he expects TO continue in the tourna-
ment, for he showed weaknesses and a
tendency to get into trouble that none of
his fellows from the west manifest. His

Appear to Have Qualified.
The two first players TO finish the
thirty six-holes medal play, the entire
qualification. were S. ID. Bowers OF Brook
lawn and G.. A. Ormiston OF Pittsburg.
1t would appear that these have safely
qualified, Bowers yesterday with an 81
and one better today for a total of 1853.
Ormiston was one stroke behind Bowers
on the aggregate OF the two days play
today with 81 and 81 for the first round,
for a total of 1874.
There was considerable speculation as
to the low qualification scare for the
thirty-six holes. Last year at Chicago
c. Chick Evans. jr.: T. NJ. Sherman. the
Vice Presidents son, and X. A. Gardner
tied at l51 for the low score.
Evans the first day had j "a and the
second a a.. There is every reason TO
suppose that l5l will not be bettered by
more than two players. if it Is done at
all If Wood succeeds in eQualing his
card of yesterday he will have made a
100. II would not appear that the ma
tional title holders can do IL, for he is
not playing the game that he did in that
championship. Neither can Sherman nor
Evans, for that matter, duplicate his
performance of a year ago AT Chicago.
Besides Evans. the only other player
who has a chance to do that is Travis.
F. W. Whittemore of the home club,
one of the few Massachusetts players
who is thought to have chance of win
ming the blue ribbon class, had a score
of 30 today, giving him total of 157.
He got into trouble going out for Al, but
came home fast in -.
Warren X Wood of Chicago. the
medalist of yesterday, was four strokes
worse today for a ~. giving him a total
well for a succession of fours, but near
the close of his outward journey he got
into bother and at the long ninth hole
he could not get up the green and took
seven for the hole. This, and six at
the eleventh, were the only periods in his
game off color. From the eleventh he
played exceedingly brilliant golf, as his
card indicates.
