THEIR NAMES LED IN MOST IMPORTANT
CONTESTS OF PRIMARIES.

Names first popular primary election,
for the nomination of candidates by the
several parties, was he'd on Monday,
June II. A total Republican vote of a
little over 10000, not quite half the party
vote in the election of 1910, was cast.
On the Democratic ticket the percentage
of the total vote was much less, there
being no contest for the general ticke'
on that side.
Most interesting of the contests were
those for United States Senator and Gov
ernor on the Republican ticket. The re-
suits were about as forecasted by many
of those most familiar with the situation
For Senator, Ex-Governor Edwin G. Bur
leigh of Augusta received the nomina-
tiOn by vote of little over $1,000 to
some over 1900 for Herbert NJ. Heath of
Augusta, and about 5000 for Frederick A
Powers of Houlton.
For Governor, William T. Haines of
Waterville received some over 10000, to
little over 5000 for Albert q. Shaw of
Bath, and a little less than 5000 for
Frederic E. Boothby OF Portland.
For Representative to Congress there
was only one Republican contest, in the
Third District, where Forrest Goodwin
of Skowhegan received the nomination
over Hannibal <. Hamlin of Ellsworth.
Democratic contests in two of the dis
tricts resulted in the nomination of
Michael T. O'Brien Of Portland in the
First District and Charles W. Mullen Of
Bangor in the Fourth.
In Oxford County there were but two
contests on the Republican side, those
being for Representatives to the Legisla'
ture. In the Canton class Otis NJ Rich.
ardsou of Canton was nominated by q
vote of PIG to 17S for John X. Forhan Of
Canton. In the Brownfield class Almon
F. johnson of Browntield was nomi-
mated, defeating Charles e. Hill of the
same town.
There was only one contest on the
Democratic ticket in this county, that
being for Representative to the Legisla-
ture in the class Of towns made up of Ok
ford, Norway and Waterford. In this
Samuel q. Eaton of Oxford was noni-
mated over Alphonso S. Fuller of the
same town, unofficial returns giving the
total figures at 10 to Is.
Some confusion was caused by
mix-up of the ballots sent to Paris and
Norway, Democratic ballots belonging In
the Norway class being mixed with the
ballots sent to Paris, while Paris ballots
we're sent to Norway.

POSTAL COMPANY EXTEND
ING ITS SERVICE IN STATE

With the arrival of four carloads
of copper wire at Reno, Wendover.
Lovelock and Battle Mountain. the
Postal Telegraph company is com
plotting two more copper circuits in
its cross-country system, says the Re-
no Gazette. These two wires will
allow telephone stations to be estab-
lished at Lovelock, Winnemucca and
other Postal offices in addition to re-
lieving the main trunk wires from
east to west of the burden of busi-
ness which they are carrying.
Each of these wires can be used
time and also for telephone use, MAX
ing 1t possible for three messages to
be handled at the same moment. For
instance. a message may be sent from
the east to the west and from the
west to the east and a telephone on
v%ersation be carried on at the same
time, none interfering with the other.
In other words, the wire may be used
for three purposes at the same time.
1t is what is known as a duplex wire.
In the past few years the Mackay
system has been spending hundreds
of thousands of dollars improving it's
overland service and this latest addi-
