PRIMARIES
Defeats Walker and White For
Republican Nomination
FOSS AN EASY WINNER
Small Vote Cast in the First Trial of
Massachusetts, New Primary
Law

Boston, Sept. 27.-The chief results
of the day and night of our first state.
wide primaries in Massachusetts can
thus be summarized:
Gov. Eugene N. Foss, renominated;
Thomas l.. Hisgen's vote small.
Lieut.. Gov. rockingham made the
republican candidate for governor.
Albert P. Langtry, secretary Of
state, defeats his opponent Russell A.
Wood of Cambridge.
John E. White, auditor, beats Her.
bert w. Burr of Boston.
George w. Anderson OF Boston to
be the democratic candidate for at
torney general.
Frank j. Donohue defeats Edward
o. Shelton for democratic nomination
for secretary of state.
The primaries brought out fairly
good vote, although the total fell con-
siderably short of that polled at the
last state election. Gov. Foss' only
opposition came from Thomas l.. His
gen Of West Springfield, the presiden-
tial candidate of the independence
league three years ago. Mr. Hisgen's
vote was not heavy. Lieut.. Gov.
rockingham was strongly opposed In
the campaign by Speaker Joseph
Walker and Representative Norman
H. White, but the returns at midnight
indicated a safe lead on the part OF
the lieutenant governor.
At midnight also Secretary of State
Albert P. Langtry of Springfield was
leading his opponent, Representative
Russell A. Wood of Cambridge. by a
margin of more than two to one while
the lead of Auditor John White of
Tisbury over Ex-Representative Her
bert W. Burr Of Boston was a trife
less.
On the democratic side Frank ].
Donahue was about three to one
ahead of Edward o. Shelton Of Bos-
ton for secretary of state, while for
attorney general George w. Ander-
son had about the same lead over
Joseph J. Leonard.
There was an interesting fight In
the 4th Suffolk senatorial district in
Boston, where Mayor John f. Fitz-

Connie Mack's Team viii Defend IT.
tie to Worlds Championship
Against National League

Philadelphia, Sept. 27.-The Ameri-
can league championship for 1911 was
decided yesterday, when Philadelphia
defeated Detroit, II to 8. It was the
fourth time that Philadelphia team
piloted by Connie Mack has won the
pennant in this organization, and it
was the first time that Philadelphia
has won the title in successive sea-
sons. BY repeating this year Phil
adelphia earned the right to defend
the title OF worlds champions, which
II won last year in a series with the
Chicago National league club. Only
two teams fought it out for leading
honors in the American league this
season. Philadelphia and Detroit.
The latter got flying start last
spring, and on May 10 the Tigers had
lead of IL games over the Athletics.
From that date the Philadelphia team
gained ground, and it took the lead
from Detroit for the first time on Ju-
ly A. The next day New York de-
feated Philadelphia and the latter
dropped to second place. Detroit
kept in front until August 4, when
Mack's team for the second time jump
cd into first place. Since then Phil
adelphia has never been headed.
The four day series between Chi
cago and New York, leading contes-
tants for the National league pennant,
begins in Chicago today. Although
New York supporters have developed
certain confidence that the pennant
is as good as won, 1t still might be
lost, so the four games in Chicago
will be closely followed. If New York
wins the series the 1911 pennant race
will be over. New York rested yes
terday while Chicago closed the sea
son with Boston in doubleheader,
but as they split even there was
practically no change In the race for
the leadership

THE LOWER COST OF LIVING
Advocates Public Stores for Govern

Washington, Sept 24.-Dr. Harvey
Wiley has advanced some new ideas
to correct the increased tendency up
ward in the cost OF living.
I'm Washington | would arrange it
so that the civilian employees OF the
government could have public stores
at which they could purchase their
necessary household supplies, just as
is done with the army and navy. The
sole solution of this question is to
bring the producer and the consumer
closer together. There must be CO
operation, but cooperation with dir
ection. Voluntary cooperation is a
failure. OF course this idea will be
jumped on by every wholesaler and
every retailer. But that is not the
question. The question is how are
we going to get at this profile in a
sensible way and solve it?"
