ELECTION IN MAINE

tBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONSl
PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 9.-Early
voting in the Maine gubernatorial cleo
ton is light, despite expectations of
the heaviest vote known. Governor
Plaisted. Democrat, predicts his re-
election by 10000. William Hams,
Republican, predicts success, refusing
to state figures. The regulars and Bull
Moosers, after standing together in the
campaign. are now planning to swat
each other after election The names
of Roosevelt and Taft were not men
toned in the gubernatorial campaign.
Practically the only test of strength
of the regulars and Progressives lies
between Michael T. O'Brien, Progress
i've and Democrat, and Asher Kinds,
former house parliamentarian and a
strong Taftite, who seek the congress
ional nomination. The Republicans as
sert that this will show the state ten
dency for the national election.

Regiments Under Orders

BEVERLY, Mass, Sept. AL
though President Taft will not inter
vene in Mexico without the fullest de-
liberation on a step that would mean
war; his friends declare that interven-
ton is nearer than it has been since
the first American troops were rushed
to the border is months ago. 1t can
be stated on the highest authority that
should the president decide interven-
ton is the only course he will call con-
gress in special session. Under no
circumstances, he has told his friends.
would he do an unfriendly act against
Mexico without consulting congress.
Friends OF the president realize that
he would give the order to invade Mex
leo only with the greatest reluctance.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Two more
regiments of cavalry have been dis
patched TO the Mexican frontier.
Major-General Wood, chief OF star
of the army, made this announcement
following a conference over the trans
portation with President Taft at Bev-
erly.
In anticipation of a quick reply
General Wood wired marching orders
to the Ninth Cavalry at Fort D. A.
Russell, Wyo, to the commanders of
the Twelfth Cavalry at Presidio, Cal,
and the Thirteenth Cavalry, at Fort
Riley, Kas
General Wood sent instructions to
have their regiments ready for field
service.
General Wood was prompted to take
this action by nature of the DISPATCHES
he received from the frontier. Gen
eral Steever sent a telegram urging
the detail of more troops. He now has
approximately 1909 men stretched
along the border; with the addition
OF the Ninth and one other regiment
of cavalry, the forces guarding the
border would have close to 5000 men,
This number is not deemed too large,
as the Mexican frontier extends a
distance of more than 1000 miles.
The war department received a dis
patch from Sergeant Funk of the Third
Cavalry, commanding a detachment OF
men at Hachita, small place near
Douglas, AriZ.
Sergeant Funk's dispatch said: Had
rub with four rebels; wounded one.
killed one, and captured one horse =
Later Sergeant Funk telegraphed he
had encountered small force of reh
els at Culberson's ranch and had shot
down four who opened fire on the
American cavalrymen.
A force of Sc men and four officers
were sent to the relief of Sergeant
Funk. .,..ssS
Other dispatches to the war DEPART
ment state that at several points along
the border east and west of Ell Paso.
Tex, the rebels are crossing into the
United States and raiding ranches.
Forage for man and beast and the
capture of horses are the objects of
the raid

1t Is apparent that the smallest unit

All road work should be placed in the
hands of trained and experienced road
