Democrats Are in Power But Republi-
cans Hope to Garry the Com
ing Election.
NO LIQUOR QUESTION RAISED

Portland, Me-, Sept, IA large
question mark sympolizes the politi-
cal situation in Maine at the close of
the state campaign today. Both
Democrats and Republicans are pre-
dieting victory at the polls on Mon
day, when the voters will name their
choice for a United States senator and
elect a governor, representative in
congress, both branches of the legis-
lature, and county officials.
The split in the Republican ranks
and the substitution of national is
sues for the local problems around
which the. state elections heretofore
have almost invariably revolved, have
helped to complicate the situation
and make guesswork of all predictions
as to the outcome.
Until two years ago Maine was con-
sidered solidly Republican, and the
change in sentiment was noted by the
increase or decrease of the size of her
majorities. Two years ago the Demo-
Gratis carried the state, electing the
governor, two representatives in con-
gress, both branches of the legisla-
ture, and large majority of the
county officers.
The Democrats are now in power,
and have the machinery of govern
ment at their commands. They rea
lie that, should they be turned down
by the voters as incompetent and un-
satisfactory, it would likely be years
before they could return to power.
This is not all they are fighting for,
however, for in November comes the
national election, and the Demo
cratic party in Maine feels certain
that the winning of the state next
Monday will, without doubt, mean
that they will land the six electoral
votes of the Pine Tree state for Will
son in November.
On the other hand, the Republi-
cans, chagrined at their loss of pow
er, are anxious once more to occupy
positions in the seats of the mighty
New complications have entered into
this campaign, too, and most of them
are adverse to the Republican cause,
The election of Democratic gov
ernor and legislature resulted in the
prohibitory law being submitted to
the people, and it was reafdrmed a
year ago by a small majority This

Men Like Everywind.

Alex Everywind, the Ponemah
boy who is representing Beltrami
county at the fair, is popular with
tie men who have charge of the

care of his bed and is heater in ev-

camp. "Alex does not say much, y

Second in Threshed Grains.

The score sheet also shows that
Beltrami scored 140 out of $50 in
threshed grains, being beaten for
first place for Roseau county which
scored 145 out of $50. Beltrami
county scored higher than any of the
Red River valley counties. A. P.
Richie and F. S. Arnold took the
Beltrami grain to the state grain in

trami sample of rye was the best he
had ever seen and he had been in
speeding grain for forty years.
Beltrami county tied with Cass
county in stock vegetables, each
county scoring the full $50 points al
lowed. In cut vegetables, Clearwater
won first, Koochiching second, and
Beltrami and Red Lake tied for third.
Roseau, Cass, Becker and Beltrami
counties were the only ones to reach
the 1000 class although Clearwater

Beaten For First Place By Roseau
But Outstripped All Red River
Valley Counties.
EVERYW1ND POPULAR BOY
Camp Managers Say He is the Neatest
One There-Says Little But Sees
Everything.

"Beltrami county scored the high
est on potatoes of any county in the
state" said F. S. Arnold this morn
ing. Mr.. Arnold has returned from
the state fair where he assisted in
the Beltrami county booth during the
week. 'It should be noticed also,"
he continued, "that Cass and Clear
water counties, which adjoin Bel
trami on the east and west, scored
next to Beltrami in the Northern d.
vision and were only beaten by one
or two other counties in the state"
From the scores as published by
the state fair judges it would appear
that Northern Minnesota is the real
potato country of the state. Beltrami
county has the best potato soil in the
entire state of Minnesota. Each
county had to exhibit sixteen varie-
ties SO that the Beltrami soil is adapt
able to all varieties.
; Following are the scores of the
Beltrami specimens in the Beltrami
booth: Grains, 40 out of $50;
grain in sheaf, 81 out of a possible
100; corn on ear, rs out of possible
100; native grasses, 46 out of possible
SO; tame grass, 65 out of possible
100; forage, 80 out of a possible 100;
potatoes 100 out of a possible 200;
stock vegetables, $50 out of possible
$50; cut vegetables, "a out of pos
sible 100; fresh fruit, 2S out of
possible so; canned fruit and vege-
tables, 80 out of a possible so; mis-
cellaneous, 46 out of a possible so.
Total, 1880 out of a possible 1900.
On the first scoring, Beltrami
county totaled 9s2 points, but some
OF the scorings were protested and
later changed. AS result, the total
was raised to 1880 and Beltrami
county again is in fourth place in
the Northern division instead of tied
for sixth. This is the first year that
any county in the Northern division
has scored over 1000 points. Bel
tram county scored 90 points higher
this year than in the 1911 fair
