porting the Progressive State
ticket, we would be Indirectly
supporting the Monaghan-Sauls-
fury combination. The TRAN.
SCRIPT will, therefore, in this
campaign support the nominees
for State Office of the Republican
Party.
Probably very few people will
read the platform adopted on
Wednesday, because of itslength.
With practically ali of the planks
THE TRANSCRIPT is in hearty ac-
cord; as a matter of principle,
but we cannot bring ourselves to
the point of trusting the carrying
out of the planks to men, who
have delighted in the past in an
nouncing their disregard for pre-
election promises. If one has
the time a careful reading of the
platform is suggested. Many
will, no doubt, wonder how DR.
Layton could, without smiling,
read a portion of it to the conven-
ton; especially those planks de-
crying bribery and denouncing
the Board of Pardons for grant
ing clemepcy to convicted bribers.
1t should have left a bad taste in
his mouth.
There is one plank in particu-
lar, that should command the at
tention of the people. We refer
to the plank in which a new sys-
tenn of assessment is demanded.
Our present system, as The
TRANSCRIPT has many times
pointed out, is the same system
that has prevailed for more than
one hundred years. The plan
proposed by the Progressives is
the one first offered to the public
by THE TRANSCRIPT. Itcalls for
a board of assessment to take the
place of our present hundred as
SCISSORS. In another plank, the
Progressives demand the COM
mission form of government for
the counties. These two planks,
or rather one for the Board of
Assessment and Commission
should be the same body in our
opinion, will receive further con-
sideration at our hands before the
campaign closes.

MAINE GOES REPUBLICAN,.
''a'nes Leads for Governor BY 1000
Local Issues Rule.

Haines Leads for Governor BY 1000
Local Issues Rule.
Portland, Me.-Maine turned back
to the Republican party in the state
election, William T. Haines, of Wa
terville, being elected governor over
Governor Plaisted, his Democratic on
ponent, who sought a second term
while the Republicans regained one Of
the two congressional districts lost to
the Democrats two years ago.
The new legislature is expected to
have a small Republican majority. al
though returns before midnight were
not sufficient to show whether Edwin
G. Burleigh, ex-prepresentatiye in
congress, Republican, or Senator
Garoner, Democrat, will be chosen to
the United States senate.
Returns for governor from all but
81 small towns give: Haines. Repub-
llcan, 69.615; Plaisted, Democrat
IS, 152. The missing towns in 1910
gave: Republicans, 1157; Democrat
994. Haines' plurality is estimated
at 384O.
These returns show a Republican
gain of 9 per cent sand a Democratic
loss Of per cent.

But None Show Interest.

-.
But None Show Interest.
Denver, Colo.-Returns from Colo
RADIOS first statewide primary at a
late hour were meager. The Demo
cratic returns received outnumbered
the Republican three to one.
Rough estimates show only one-third
OF the registered vote in the state was
cast. In Denver the percentage is es-
timated at only one-fifth.
Results so far as known Indicate
that E. M. Ammon is leading for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination.
Clifford c. Parks, regular Republi-
can, is leading Phillip B. Stewart,
Roosevelt Progressive Republican, for
the head of the Republican ticket.
Governor Shafroth is leading Alva
Adams and T. ]. O'Donnell for the
Democratic long-term senatorial nomi-
nation, while Merl D. Vincent, Roose-
welt Progressive Republican, heads
Clyde c. Dawson, regular Republican.
Charles S. Stone is unopposed for the
Democratic nomination for the short
term in the United States senate.
James Fl. Brown is leading C. w.
Waterman for the Republican short
term in the United States senate.
The light vote in the rural districts
was due to the fact that farmers took
advantage of the clear weather to har-
vest their heavy crops. Few women
voted, some explaining the fact that
the ballot seemed SO complicated they
were afraid of losing their vote and
so, paradoxically, they stayed away
from the polls.

MOTORCYCLE KILLS TWELVE
Racer Going 90 Miles an Hour
Crashes Into Crowd.

Newark, N. J. = Eddie Hasha, of
Waco, Tex, holder of several world 8
records for motorcycle racing, plunged
over the rail of the course of the New
ark motordrome, into a crowd, caus-
ing the death of six persons, including
himself, while six are dying and 13
are badly injured.
The only three of the six dead posi-
lively Unidentified up to a late hour
were Hasha, Johnny Albright, Den
yer motorcyclist who was riding third
in the race, and Edward Fischer, a IT.
year-old boy of this city. The other
three dead were boys and young men
among the spectators. Two of the
probably fatally injured are Edward
Role and Frank j. Amburg, each II
years old.
Five thousand spectators were wit
Messing the finish of a four-mile free
for-all race when the daring young
rider, doing 80 miles an hour, took his
fateful plunge. He was pitched head
first so feet into the air. His body
was shapeless when it was picked up,
almost at the feet of his wife, seated
in the bleachers.
Albright was thrown head first in
the other direction into the enclosure
of the track, when the champion
wheel came sliding down the steep
bank and struck him. He was picked
up for dead, but he lived in an uncon-
scious state more than two hours.

JAPAN PAYS TRIBUTE.
Young Emperor Reads Address of
Lamentation at Funeral.

Young Emperor Reads Address of
Lamentation at Funeral.
Aoyama-Both the emperor and the
people of Japan paid homage to the
memory of Emperor Mutsuhito at the
funeral hall at Aoyama.
In front of the great casket the
young emperor read an address of
lamentation, in which he referred to
the events in the life of his great
father. Then in behalf of the people
of Japan, the premier, Marquis Salon
j, delivered patriotic address and
was followed by the minister of the
household, who spoke for the dead en-
perors attendants. The hall was
crowded with thousands of high digni-
tarles, among whom were sprinkled a
considerable number of foreigners.
When the great procession accom-
panying the body from the imperial
palace in Toxic arrived at the en-
trance to the grounds of the palace at
Aoyama, ten huge gas lanterns were
lighted. Ritualists then arranged
white curtains at the back and side of
tne bier and half-drawn blind in
'front.'. While the preparations were
IN progress the emperor and the other
members of the imperial family wait
ed IN resting room.
The ritualistic ceremonies then be-
gan, the chief ritualist reciting a
prayer, which was followed by a
mournful Shinto hymn, chanted to the
accompaniment of sacred instruments.
