But One Ward Republican.

Bath. Me-, March 4.-The city cleo
ton. today, which resulted in the re-
election of Mayor Frank A. Small,
DEM. by only seven plurality and the
election of Republican city govern
ment, was considered a victory for
the forces behind the candidacy of
Albert II. Shaw of this city for the
Republican nomination for governor.
Mayor Small's vote of S6S was a de-
crease of 243 from his vote of last
year and Wilbur c. Oliver, his Repub
lican opponent. made a gain of 1856
over last years Republican showing.
The Republicans elected their alder
men and eouncilmen in every ward

will be on hand long before the gates

The entire police force will be on
duty in the morning, as it was, today
and the militia will be stationed in
the mill zone, ready to respond to
calls from any part of the city. The
military forces will, however, be con-

Impartial observers, today declared

THE COLONEL EXPLAINS.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, March 4.-CoJ.
Roosevelt said, today, that it was per-
feetly true he said he would not be a
candidate in 1912
He had made that statement TO
many persons, he said, but did not de-
clare that he would not accept the
nomination if it were rendered to him.
He drew distinction between becom-
ing candidate and being willing to
accept the nomination.
The colonel made it plain that he
saw nothing in the Van Valkenburg
letter, in which he said he would not
be a candidate in 1912, which con-
flieted with his recent statement that
he would become the nominee of the
party, if his party asked it.
Col. Roosevelt's position in the mat
ter is set forth in statement which
he gave out today, explaining the cir
cumstanees which induced him to
write to Mr.. Van Valkenburg. This
