VOTERS AT
THE POLLS TODAY
Nation Awaits Result of Ballot
ing as Indication of No.
vember Vote.

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 9.-Maine's
voters are today casting their ballots
after one of the most bitterly-fought
campaigns this State has ever seen.
The voting began at 6 o'clock this
morning.
There are several we'll defined issues
to be decided and a few questions of
national Importance to be passed
upon besides the election of a Gov
ernor, four congressman, county off,
GERS and a State Legislature. The
Legislature selected today will choose
a United States senator next win
ter. Governor Frederick w. Plaisted
heads the Democratic ticket and
William T. Haines is the Republican
candidate for Governor.
The polls will close at most places
at 5 p. M, but in a few small towns
voting was scheduled to cease an hour
earlier.
In the cities where there are man.
ufacturing plants the early voting
was fairly heavy. In a few of the
larger cities the Republican leaders
stationed detectives at the polling
booths to prevent illegal voting, but
in the early hours there were few in
terruptions of the voting. 1t is many
years since Maine voters have had
such ideal weather on election day.
The country roads were in good con-
dition after recent rains for travel to
the voting places.
Governor Frederick Plaisted, Dem
ocrat declares that he will be
reelected by 10000 majority, which
is much more than he got last year
His State chairman, John S. H. P.
Wilson, of Auburn, raised the ma
jority to Is, 900.
William T. Haines, Republican AN
didate. says he will win, but gives no
figures. Haines's State chairman,
Warren Shelbrook, of Waterville, also
prophesies victory, but only claims
a comfortable majority. So 1t seems
that the Democrats are a lot more
confident thar the Republicans.
The Taft men are apathetic. If
they win they will claim that the
great name of Taft, which was never
used, pulled them through. If they
lose they will assert that It was the
butting in of the Roosevelt party that
cost them the victory.

SHOOTING OFF THE SOLID.
PerniciOus Practice Condemned by
u. S. Geological Survey.

Much has been said and written In
condemnation Of the practice, too
prevalent in some Of the coal-mining
States, Of shooting off the solid"-
that is, Of blasting down the coal
without having previously undercut
or sheared it, or making the powder
do the work" According to Edward
w. Parker, the coal statistician of
the United States Geological Survey,
all authorities agree hat the prac-
tice is re~prehensible in the highest
degree. The heavy charges of DOW
der produce an unnecessary quantity
Of fine coal and render the lump coal
so friable that it disintegrates in
handling and transportation. The
quantity and quality Of the mer-
charitable product are thereby mate
rally reduced. These reasons in
themselves are sufficient to call forth
the condemnation Of the practice and
the demand for it's abolition, but a
ar stronger reason Is the increased
'pilllS " uCCluSlI Ill Il vocation
that is hazardous enough when all
precautions possible are taken to
promote safety. The use Of inordi-
nate charges Of powder weakens the
roof and supporting pillars and fail
ure to undercut or shear the coal in
creases the danger Of windy shots,
the cause Of frequent dust explosions.
Falls Of coal and roof in 1911 caused
almost one-half of the 200 or so
deaths in the coal mines Of the Uni
ted States, and explosions caused IA
per cent The deaths from the more
prolific cause, however, usually hap
pen singly and are not reported out
side Of the localities where the acct
dents occur, whereas the less fire.
quent explosions involving the deaths
Of tens or hundreds Of men are given
prominence in the daily and techni-
cal press.
