WOUNDED
Attempt Made to Kill
Him at Milwaukee
Monday.


While on his way to the Audi
forum to make a political speech
Monday Col. Roosevelt, the Bull
Moose candidate for President, was
shot by John Shrank, thought to
be of New York. The wound was
only very slight, however, and the
Colonel continued on his way to
the Auditorium and made his
speech. The man who did the
shooting was caught and rush
ed to Jail. and from his talk and
notes found in his pockets there is
no doubt that ne is insane.
Henry S. Cochem seized the man
and held him until policemen came
up. A mob surged around the pris-
oner, who is apparently mentally
upset on the subject of Roosevelt
running for another term as Presi-
dent. The man, who is small of
stature, admitted firing the shot
and said that ANY man looking for
a third term ought to be shot"
In notes found in the mans
pocket at the police station, were
statements that the man had been
visited in a dream by the spirit of
William Mckinley, who had said,
Indicating Colonel Roosevelt, this
is mymurderer, avenge my death. "
A written proclamation found in
the clothing of the man who did
the shooting reads:
September Is, 1912.
September 10, 1901, at 3 a.
M, in dream, l saw President
Mckinley sit up in a monks attire
in whom l recognized Theodore
Roosevelt. The President said
This is my murderer, avenge my
DEATH
September ~, 1912, 3 a. NJ
While writing a poem some one
tapped me on the shoulder and
said: Let not a murderer take the
Presidential chair. Avenge my
DEATH
Gould plainly see MIR. McKin-
ley's features.
Before Almighty God 1 swear
this above writing is nothing but
the truth"
Another note found in the mans
pocket reads:
so long as Japan could rise to
the greatest power in the world,
despite her surviving a tradition
more than 1900 years old, Jas Gen
Nogi so nobly demonstrated, it is
the duty of the United States of
America to uphold the third term
tradition. Let every third-termer
be regarded as a traitor to the
American cause. Let it be the
right and duty of every citizen to
forcibly remove third-termer.
Never let a third term party en-
blem appear on the official ballot.
Il am willing to die for my
country. God has called me to be
his instrument. so help me God.
INNOCENT GUILTY"
Written in Germany.
"A strong power is oar God"
The Colonel asked to have the
man brought to him and when the
would-be assassin was asked why
he fired the shot no reply was Of
fered.

train for Chicago after his speech
at Milwaukee, and said he expected
to fulfill the rest of his speaking

POLITICAL NOTES.

Harvard c. Jordan, OF Ellsworth, will
be a candidate in the primaries for the
democratic nomination for representative
from the Ellsworth class. Mr.. Jordan
was the candidate OF his party against
Mr.. Peters two years ago, and was de-
feated by q narrow margin, the seat being
contested.
The form for the backs OF the primary
ballots has been decided upon. The re-
publican ballot will be yellow and the
word republican" will not appear on it
anywhere, the only designation being its
color. The democratic primary ballot will
be white, and the word democratic" will
not appear. The socialists will have . blue
ballot.
Herbert NJ. Heath, in his candidacy for
the United States Senate, will conduct q
speaking campaign throughout the State
in advance OF the primary election Of
Monday, June II. Mr.. Heath's speeches
will make no reference to his own candi-
dacy for the Senate, nor to that of others.
He will discuss national issues. He plans
to go with an automobile, and take in the
smaller towns as far as possible. This is
an innovation in Maine, although COM
mon in the West and South.

H. NJ. HEArH's CANDIDACY
For the Senate--Something New In
Campaigning.

Campaigning.
A new candidate las appeared Tor the
votes OF republicans for United states
senator at the primary election to be held
ON Monday, June I7-Herbert M. Heath,
OF Augusta. Mr.. Heath has made ovsr
thousand speeches for the republican
party, always giving his services. He has
served in both branches of the legislature.
He has three times declined an appoint
ment as judge of the supreme court.
He has announced his candidacy In .
manner common in the West. but new in
Maine. He has put out gned platform,
declaring for an immediate downward re-
vision OF the tariff, permanent tarin
commission, opposition TO all tarins
framed for revenue only. condemns the
recent reciprocity agreement, favors bet
ter control OF "big business, working
mans compensation act, changes In the
Law to give laborers better chance in
court, better control OF railroads, election
OF senators by direct vote OF the people,
presidential preference primaries, grsdu-
sted income tax, parcels post, oppo-
sit,on to machine rule In every form, pre-
vention of corrupt use OF money in poll
tics and other matters forty lone in all.
He announces also that before the pri-
mary election he will go out and address
all the voters possible, saying nothing
about his own candidacy or that Of others,
combining himself to the discussion OF re-
publican principles. lie says II Is nov
too late to write letters to the voters, but
he will speak to them from the platform
and from an automobile. This 10 the
western style OF campaigning.
Mr.. Heath largely drew the State plat
form, which, like his own, is so clear that
nothing is lodged or evsded.
A warm but good-natured contest is
predicted.

the bar in 1887, becoming q member OF the
Arm of Wisweli. King & Peters. This
firm opened an office in Bar Harbor. with
Mr.. Peters in charge.
Upon Mr.. WiswelI's elevation to the
bench in 1898, the firm was dissolved, and
Mr.. Peters moved back to Ellsworth and
has practiced here ever since--alone until
January, 1911, when he formed partner
ship with ex- erk-of-C Courts j. F. Knowl-
ton. He was appointed by Gov. Cieaves
judge Of the Ellsworth municipal court in
1898, succeeding George p. Dutton, who
died in September Of that year. This Of
fee he held until shortly after his election
to the legislature in 1908, when, his term
expiring, he declined reappointment.
Mr.. Peters became = conspicuous figure
in the session OF 1909, and proved an able
and useful legislator. He was renomi-
mated in 1910, and became q candidate for
speaker. He was elected, but, his am
bition to become speaker was thwarted
by the overturn which gave the State to
the democrats. But as leader OF the
minority in both the regular and special
sessions, he added to his reputation as an
able legislator.
Under the apportionment by the last
legislature, Ellsworth is no longer in 4 class
by itself. but is associated with Trenton,
Aurora, Amherst, Otis, Mariaville, Wal
than and plantations 8, 10, n, 3 and a3,
these forming class 3.

General satisfaction is expressed
among the republicans of Ellsworth
and the towns in this representative
class that Hon. John A. Peters has
consented to be candidate for the
legislature. Mr.. Peters has already
served two terms in the House, and
the demand that he shall stand for a
third term, contrary to the custom
here, and against his expressed wish
not to serve again, is strong testimony
as to his worth as legislator to his
constituents and to the State.

The last republican administration
of Maine spent sss3, $50 in new con-
struction; it also spent So, 100 for land.
No serious democratic protest-none
at all in most cases was heard
against these appropriations or ex-
penditures. And yet the democrats
''point with pride'' to the fact that so
far along In their administration they
have got on with similar appropria-
tions amounting to only SIG, 274.
Against sos, 400 appropriated by the
Fernald administration for partially
charitable institutions, the Plaisted
administration has appropriated
SAT 400. For wholly charitable in

appropriated SIC, 600 less than its pre-

Mr.. Haines' wild Land Episode.

Mr. HatneS' Wttu Lana EPISODE.
A controversy has been started by
the waterville Sentinel with Hon.
William T. Haines, of Waterville, over
certain transactions in timberlands
between Mr.. Haines and the State
when Llewellyn Powers was governor
and Mr.. Haines was attorney general.
The charge made by the Sentinel Is
that Mr.. Haines obtained from the
State at low price several thousand
acres of good timberland, and later
sold them for high price, the in
situation being that Mr.. Haines used
his official connection with the State
government to obtain these wild
lands for practically nothing.
Mr.. Haines replies that he pur-
chased all the land in question from
private owners, but that as it ap-
peared subsequently that the title to
part OF the territory was not per-
fectly clear, he merely sought from
the State full quittauce Of any claim
IL might nave. nc was uUk guy AHk
the land of the State, having already
paid other parties for it; and the
State was not selling land, the land
agent having reported all the wild
lands disposed of some years pre-
viously. He was merely procuring
from the State sort of guaranty OF
his title to land already purchased.
The Sentinel, after printing Mr..
Haines's letter still insists character
istically that there were many acres
which the records indicate came from
nobody unless from the State.
"We should surely regret" says the
Lewiston Journal, "to have any such
irregularity as alleged fastened upon
a republican candidate for the gov
ernorship, and haven't doubt that
Mr.. Haines will be able to prove the
serious allegation and worse insinua-
ton OF the Sentinel as baseless as
most of that undertaking organs
assaults upon republicans who happen
to be prominent before the public"
