Haines Seems to Be Lead ing Over Laisted by Over 5000 Majority Based on Votes Already Counted in Many Districts
CONGRESSIONAL
 FIGHT IN DOUBT
Outcome of Fight Between
 Gardner, Democrat, and Burleigh, Republican, for senatorship, Will Require Full Count of the Ballots
CAssoc1ATEB PRESS DIsPArcHl

PORTLAND, Sept. 9.-Maine state congressional and county elections which were held today gave returns up to ten o'clock tonight which favor republicans. The election will be close With half the state on record William T. Haines republican, had slight lead over Governor Frederick W. P. Laist ed. If the same ratio is maintained, the republicans will win the governor ship by about 5000. Legislature re- turns are too meagre to give any in dications of the complexion of either branch so that the outcome of the fight for the United States senatorship between Senator Obadiah Gardner, democrat and former Congressman Edwin C. Burleigh, republican is in doubt. Democrats who captured the state in 1910, based their campaign all most entirely upon national issues.
 Republicans used state issues en- tirely as weapons of attack. The pro- gressive element of the republican party was in full control of the party machinery but with the approval of Roosevelt, a split was postponed until after today's struggle.
 Returns from about one-fourth of the cities and towns of the fourth con- gressionaI district indicate that Simms, lican. in third will be elected. There | were close contests in the second and 1 fourth districts.

I. B. STORIES
 CRITICIZED
California Humane Associ-
 ation Deplores Example Big Hunter Is Setting the Young of America; Cam era Is Better Than Gun
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

SANTA BARBARA, Sept 9.-Criti cism of the Roosevelt hunting stories was the feature of the session of the State Humane association which op- ened the fourth annual session here today George Wharton James of Los Angeles, author, in discussing the pa per 'The Esthetic Limitations of Sport" presented by W. Loon Dawson, of Santa Barbara, said:
 While there is much I wish to re- were about Colonel Roosevelt, I do de- plore the example he is setting the young in his hunting stories. He writes that creatures of the wilds flee into the interior before man. So would |, were I to meet a man with murder in his heart and eye"
 Tn the paper, Dawson had argued for more humane game laws in order to protect the many species of birds and animals, fast approaching the time when they will become extinct. He all so declared that to shoot creatures of the wilds with the camera instead Ol lIit sun, Wdo SclICi oBCl |, NchhCu AOl more cIeverness and left more pleas ant and more lasting impressions.
 Dr. l.. F. Conger. of Pasadena, de- clared it folly on the part of Kansas authorities to try and exterminate the blackbird. He predicted that state would regret this action when it be- came overrun with locust or other pests.
 The paper by M. J. White. or San Francisco, secretary of the California society for prevention of cruelty to animals. entitled, "The Fine System a Failure" caused much discussion
 Strong language and such words as thugs" and graft" were used in con- nection with certain organizations which it was alleged had been formed as a result of state laws which per mited to-called Humane societies to receive fines from cases they success fully prosecuted"
 It was expected that a resolution would be adopted before the close of the convention by which the legisla- ture would be requested to rescind that law and enact another, by which fines from such cases would go to public schools for the education of children along humane lines.

Takes Four Speeches, a Breakfast, Luncheon and Dinner to Make Himself Clear on the Subject of Women Voting
HAS ANOTHER REPLY
 TO WILSON CRITICISM
Assails Democratic Plat form and Talks on Tariff, Courts, High Cost of Liv- ing and Farmers; Ignores Republican Party
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcH1

SPOKANE, Sept 9.-Colonel Roosevelt climbed aboard his private car, Westbound, tonight; once more on the last stage of his journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The colonel was permitted to have eight hours sleep, as he reached Spokane last night and that was all the time he had to himself. He made four speeches, attended breakfast, luncheon and a dinner, talked politics with progressive leaders and headed a parade through the city. He is due in Seattle in the morning and will pass the day there and in Ta- coma
 In his speeches he gave his views on woman's suffrage, replied to Will sons criticism of the progressive party standing for the minimum wage scales, assailed the platform of the democratic party and talked on tariff, courts, high cost of living, and farm CTS. Of the republican party he said butt little on the ground that he never discussed dead folks.
 AS he stepped out on to the stage of the auditorium he looked down over several thousands of new hats ana was greeted by a round or nanu- clapping with waving handkerchiefs. The colonel said he had been induced to take up woman's suffrage because he found that women like Jane Addams of Chicago, whom he had consulted with regard to social and economic conditions among the work CTS of their cities were virtually all in favor of women suffrage because they believed it would improve their condition. Another condition which led him to accept this point of view, he said was the influence in behalf of good government which women had exercised through the ballot in the western states where they already vote
 You are not be excused" he told the women, If you don't come out and exercise with intelligence the right of suffrage that is yours i'll this state. You must not treat it merely as an addition to your privileges. I think I have that right to ask the women of Washington to stand by the progressive party"

Wilson Says Leaders of Pro gressive Party Have Not the Ability to Garry Out Any Part of Its Platform If Elected
TAssoc1ATED PRESS D1sPArcH1

NEW YORK, Sept 9.-WoodroW Wilson in an address before the New York Press club tonight questioned the ability of the leaders of the pro- gressive party, if elected, to carry out any part of its platform. He said in part;
 T want to discuss the three par ties now seeking your support. Let US consider first the republicans There is a great deal of difference between the republican party and certain groups of gentlemen who have been allowed to lead and direct the republican party. The republican party as represented by these men is the very party that has gotten us into difficulties in the last fifteen years, and during the last fifteen years that party has been in power.
 If 1t did not get us into these difficulties who did? Mark you I am not saying that the leaders of the party knew that they were do- ing us an evil or that they intended whatever may have been their in tentions, linked the government of the United States with men who con- trol the big finances of the United States. They may have done it un- intentionally; they may have done i. corruptly without affecting my ar gument at all.
 Provided you admit that they tied the government of the United States to big financial interests of the Uni- ted States you have admitted my point in that they themselves cannot escape from that alliance
