OVERWHELMING
Vote for Bur|eigh and
Haines in Augusta,
Frank [. DutiOn Leads the
State Senator List.
Pinkham OF Windsor Carries the
City In Shrievaliy Fight.

Hon. Edwin c. Burleigh of Angus
Ia and Hon. William f. Haines of Wa
teryille carried the city by over
whelming majorities for United States
senator and for Governor, in Angus
ta's first primary. while Frank L.
Dutton led the list of State senators
by handsome majority.
Willis A. Pinkham of Windsor was
high man in Augusta in the three
cornered shrieyalty fight for the Re-
publican nomination while Alderman
Beck had a walkover in the city on
tine Democratic ticket for county com
missioner. Byron Boyd and Willis
Eiwood Swift were the Republican
candidates chosen for representatives
to the Legislature from this city.
Hon. Forrest Goodwin of Skowhesan
carried every ward in the city over
Hannibal T.. Hamlin of Ellsworth as
a Republican candidate for Congress.
Although the day was pleasant
one. but 1920 of the 2t90 enrolled vot-
ers qualified to participate in the
primary election put in an appearance
at the polls. The stay-at-home vote
was largely a Democratic one, how
ever, for while 91S Republicans voted
for United States senator but 4O2
Democrats cared to come out and reg
lister their choice for Governor Plais-
ted.
1t was a noteworthy fact that
considerable number of the voters
voted only for the candidates at the
head of the ticket and failed TO mark
their entire ballots. For instance. on
the Republican ticket while 9lS votes
were cast for United States senator
but 500 voted for the Republican can
didates for Governor. The Plaisted
vote was 402 but the Democratic vote
fell off as it went down the ticket and
Notwithstanding the lively county
commissioner contest the combined
vote for Beck. Frost and Gleason was
but 371.
The Board of Aldermen canvassed
the election returns at the close of the
regular city council meeting, finishing
their work at about 1890 A. M, which
was a very ereditable performance
both on the part of the ward officials
and the aldermen, as the polls did not
close until p. NJ.

both parties by wards in the city OF
Augusta for all the contested posi-
ticns.

In the Only Democratic Contest on
kennebec County Ticket.

James w. Beck of Augusta is the
probable winner in the three cornered
contest for county commissioner OF
Kennebec county, although the de-
tailed vote has not been received from
all of the precincts in the county.
From the figures in hand at +. Nj.
he appears to have a safe lead over
his two opponents. William K. Frost
of Gardiner and John S. Gleason OF
Oakland. In Augusta the combined
strength of his opponents was but ~
to his 339.
Mr.. Beck is serving his second term
as alderman from Ward 3. Augusta.

In the gubernatorial election of
1910 these same places threw Repub-
lican vote of 54.564

Returns in the several congressional
fights were so far from complete at mid
night that much doubt existed as to the
outcome in every case.
In the LIST District William M. Ingra-
ham of Portland appeared to have car
ried the country districts by a wide mar
gin, but early returns from the city
wards showed strong probability of the
lead being overcome by his opponent on
the Democratic ticket, Michael 7.
O'Brien.
There was no contest in the I'd District.
In the Sd, Forest Goodwin of Skowhe-
gan and Hannibal f. Hamlin of Els
worth were contestants for the Republic
cans nomination. Indications were that
Goodwin had carried Kennebec and Som
erset counties, but returns were so
meagre from Waldo and Hancock coun-
ties as to make either possible winner.

CHINESE HAIL PREMIER.
Congratulations On Escape Pour In
On Yuan Shi kai.

Pekin - Congratulations from all
quarters, including the Legations, have
been pouring in on Premier Yuan Shi
Kai throughout the day.
The attack on the premier apparent
ly has removed doubts in the views of
the Manchus as to his loyalty. Fore
ign Legations declare that Yuan s
death would throw North China into a
state of lawlessness, demanding i'm
mediate intervention by the powers.
The belief is general that Yuan is
necessary to the transition from the
old to the new order. Otherwise a
change would make a shambles Of
Pekin. The bomb thrower, who is q
native of Kwei Chow, it is said, will
be executed Immediately.
It is believed the three Republican
cruisers that arrived at Chefoo were
conveying troops from Shanghai,
which are remaining outside for the
present. Three hundred revolution
lists who recently seized Tangchowfu,
in Shantung, were transported to the
landing place by japanese steamer.
Grave disorders are reported in
Honan, particularly at Chengchow,
where the French minister is consider
ing the advisability of calling in the
railway employees. There is renewed
unrest at Tientsin and serious dis
orders are prevalent in other places.
Bishop Bassford, Of the Methodist
Episcopal mission ut Shanghai, and
other prominent. American mission
aries, have sent eeblegram to the
administration at Washington express
ing the views that q republic is in
evitable and is practicable.

nt;r- The Fifteenth regiment Of

vt ' as guard for the protection of q
s ss.tiou of the railroad from Pekin to
~. ~. coast, has arrived at Chin Wang
T.o on board the transport Logan.
Tho American troops, Immediately
..ar disembarking, were inspected by
shsir commander. A detachment then
'' srsd from Chin Wang Tao along the
l nn;1wav to guard the line from Tang
Chan to Lanchow, relieving the Brit
; ;0b troops, which returned to Tientsin.
~ The Princes of the Imperial clan, a
n n of leading Manchu officials and
.u members of the government
bod a protracted conference with the
nr dowager at the palace, but
e orain separated without arriving at a
Sscision on the question of abdica-
tion Three of the younger princes,
y;th Tieh LANG, the former Tartar
General at Marking, would not, how
svor agree to the courts retirement
IN Jeho, although they did not sug-
cest an alternative.
The Mongol princes, who most siren
uously oppose abdication, are those of
inner Mongolia from the districts
south of the desert. Their opposition
IS strengthened by fear that the Re-
nublicans will confscate their estates.
Premier Yuan Shi Kai was invited
several times to participate in the
conferences of the princes, but stead
fastly refused, as he desired to leave
the decision entirely to the court.
The situation continues intense. It
seems impossible that Pekin can es-
cape eventually a Manchu outbreak.
Soldiers belonging to the Imperial
body guard openly distributed leaflets
summoning the people to defend the
constitutional monarchy until death,
but it is unlikely that any persons ex-
cept the Manchus will fight for the
monarchy. 1t is reported that the
irreconciable Prince Tsai Tao, brother
of the ex-regent, is exciting the Man.
chu troops to cause trouble.

eoscENT sufTER IN SIGHT.
E's'n Butter Board Forcing up
Prices at Chicago.

Prices at Chicago.
Chicago Sixty-cent butteri CHI
cagoans faced such possible record
breaking situation Wednesday, when
the retail price Of Elgin creamery
Duster-the staple Of the Market
reached ~ cents in many stores the
highest price in the city's history,
dealers declared-and promised to 20
much higher within the next few days.
The wholesale price. 422 cents q
pound. fixed by the Elgin Butter
board. broke al wholesale records for
"a years, and commission men de-
clared that advances in the price which
would place it high above the present
point, seemed inevitable.
This addition to the high cost of
living is blamed by some interested
men to the scarcity Of butter. while
other persons ascribe it to an alleged
trust which is already under investipa-
ton by Federal authorities, or to a
corner by Easter houses.
The Elgin butter barons raised the
price in one day cents. The advance
was communicated to the Chicago
wholesale market Immediately and had
no sooner been shifted to the retail
trade than it was tried on the con-
sumer-the only one who cannot shift
the burden.
Chicago retailers are charging an
average of about Is cents pound for
fresh butter, and are ready to increase
the price as quickly as the butter
board gives the word.
Retailers are agreed that the price
would not stop short of SO cents and
one dealer ventured to say that so
cents pound would not hold it.
An injunction to restrain members
of the Chicago Butter. &, Egg board
from continuing to fix the prices of
food will be sought in the Federal
court, as a result of their acquiescing
in the Accent pound quotation is
sued by the Elgin Butter board.

Appeal is Made to Powers.

Marking - The Republican govern
ment has sent an appeal to the powers
for recognition. This took the form
of a circular, which was sent to WASH
ington, Toxic, London, Paris, Berlin
and St. Petersburg, and was signed by
Wang Chung Wei, the foreign minis
ter of the republic.
1t appears certain that fighting will
be resumed unless the demands of the
Republicans are met. These include
abdlcatlon of the throne, a capital
other than Pekin, and exclusion Of all
Manchus from the provisional govern
ment.
Premier Yuan Shi Kai cannot parti-
clpate in the provisional government
OF China until the republic has been
recognized by the foreign powers and
the country has been restored to peace
and harmony.
The decided action by the Republic
can government was due to Premier
luan Shi Kai's demand that DR.. Sun
lat Sen resign the presidency, per-
mittlng Yuan Shi Kai to exercise SOW
erelgn powers until the national con-
Ventlon, which is to be called to de-
c c9. on the form of government Of

~ tUn IN the meantime Premier Yuan

'entlon has reached decision.

HoMEsEEKERs ARE MIsLED.
Department Hears Settlers Have
Wrong Idea Of Tieton Prospects.

wrong lOea OF tleton prospects.
Washington, D. Officials Of the
Interior department are apprebensive
that owing to a misunderstanding, 9
large number Of homeseekers now
flocking to North Yakima will be
greatly disappointed. Reports recent.
ly received indicate that settlers are
preparing to form a line in front OF
the land Office in the hope of securing
farms on the recently completed Tie
ton irrigation project.
The facts are briefly that about SO
farm units of government land will be
available for entry in 1912. These
farms are 40 acres each, and contain
from IL to 40 acres of irrigable land.
About 35 of these will not be avail
able for general entry until the de-
partment has acted upon the cases Of
persons who claim preference rights,
and who. under the law, may have q
right to file within 80 days after no.
tice from the land office. The adjudi-
cation of these claims necessarily will
require some time, SO that the general
public will not have an opportunity to
file on the remaining units for several
months, and perhaps not in the pres
emit year.
By the usual public notice the sec
rotary will fix the date and determine
the method Of disposing of the I'M
entered units. It is probable that
some form Of drawing will be provid.
ed for, giving everybody interested
an equal chance.
