REPUBLICANS WIN IN MAINE
William T. Haines Is Elected Governor
Over Frederick w. Plaisted, DEM
ocratic Candidate.

Portland, Me.-The Republicans,
with the efficient help of the
Bull Moose party, have wrenched
from the Democrats the control of the
state which the latter have held for
two years. William IT. Haines, the
Republican candidate for governor, ie
elected over Frederick w. Plaisted,
Democrat, by a majority estimated at
3,700, with flve-sixths of the vote In,
including the vote of Portland, Ban.
gor, Augusta and other cities of con-
siderable size. The legislature will
be Republican on joint ballot, which
will insure the election of Edwin G.
Burleigh, Republican, over Obdiah
Gardner, the present incumbent. Both
Burleigh and Gardner are their party
nominees at the preferential primaries
Indications are that for congress
Asher Kinds, Republican, is elected
over Michael T. O'Brien in the First
district, including Portland; that
Frank E. Guernsey, Republican, is
elected over Charles w. Mullen in
the Third; that Forest Goodwin, Re
publican, is elected over Samuel w
Gould in the Fourth.
The surviving Democrat who is sure
of election is Daniel ]. McGillicuddy
presnt Democratic congressman from
the Second district, who has a safe
majority over William B. Shelton.
Now that the control of the Offices
has fallen into Republican hands, the
Bull Moosers, claiming credit for the
triumph, will begin an aggressive
campaign to carry the state for Roose
welt. Two sets of electors, regular
Republican and Bull Moose, are al
already in the field and beginning i'm
mediately the two elements that pulled
together through the state will in
augurate an energetic warfare agains

BAD WRECK ON TROLLEY LINE
Thirty-Sve People Are Injured, Five
Seriously, When Two-car Limited
Hits Automobile Truck.

! Cleveland, OF Thirty-five people
were injured, five of whom are ex-
pected to die, when two-car limited
of the Lake Shore Electric smashed
into a five-ton automobile truck at stop
I13. a short distance west of Rocky
River. The first car of the train was
hurled from its trucks, thrown on it's
side and twisted diagonally across the
tracks. The automobile was bent in
to mass of wreckage and the first
car leaped completely over it. Per-
sons from the Automobile Country
club worked with railroad employees
and picknickers to drag the dying and
injured from the first car. Everyone
in the first car was injured, at least
slightly, for the interior of the car
was tangle of broken iron, smashed
seats and splintered glass.
Injured were placed in automobiles
and hurried toward the Lakewood
hospital. They were transferred from
the automobiles to ambulances in the
streets and the run for medical atten-
tion resumed.
The two cars which were wrecked
at stop No. 13, where two fatal acci-
dents had occurred within four
months, left the Public Square at
1880 bound for Toledo. They were
limited cars and were numbered 149
and 147.

-%-%-&-
Newark, N. J.-Fate staged tragic
spectacle with cruel art in the
great bowl of the Vailsburg velo-
drome when, through the midst of
cheering thousands, speed sent six
persons to death in space of deep
drawn breath. 1t was at the middle
of the thirteenth race-the free for
all-when riding at the binding
speed of 80 miles an hour, Eddie
Hasha's motorcycle went wrong,
climbed the 2S-foot incline of the
track, hurled its rider to instant
death and crashed into the packed
grand stand
Before the whirling mass of steel
was halted by deep set iron pillar,
four young men lay beneath and 22
Others rolled unconscious and severe
Ily injured from it's path. Then the
twisted engine of death, rebounding
form the poll, rolled down the saucer
rim of the track.
Down the circular path, his speed
scarcely less than that of the ill-fated
lHarsha's, came Johnny Albright, the
Denver rider, knowing nothing of the
tragedy above him, hearing naught Of
the screams and the curses of warning
blind to the panic rush of the crowd.
Slowly, yet so fast that none had
time to halt it, the wreck of Hasha's
machine rolled down in Albrights
path. The whole unnerved and
frightened throng saw the coming of
the second tragedy.
Mrs. Hasha, wife of the first rider,
lay in a dead faint on the grand
stand floor. With a scream Mrs. AL
bright fell beside her. But no one
saw them, no one heard them scream.
The sound that came from the crowd
was the signing, impotent prayer of
the thousands for mercy that could
not come. The front wheel of AL
bright's motorcycle struck the wreck,
leaped into the air and the body of the
rider shot 80 feet over the handle
bars and fell at the bottom of the
track unconscious. Two hours later
Albright was dead.
Confusion, wild cries of fear and
fright and then panic ensued. The
police finally fought their way through
the crowd only to find unconscious
forms strewn beside the dead, while
fainting women lay here and there
through the terrified grand stand.
Three ambulance surgeons fell to
work; the more seriously injured were
rushed to hospitals, where 20 were
found to be seriously injured. Many
others, only slightly bruised or suf-
fering from fright and excitement
went to their homes after being given
emergency treatment at the track.

important Point To Be Settled.

The suit brought to test the consti-
dietary law will be heard by the su-
preme court September "a, the day
that court convenes for its fall work,
according to announcement made.
The suit was brought by Morris j.
Weinberger, of Cleveland, in an at
tempt to prevent the Cuyahoga county
election board from placing the names
of judicial candidates in that county
on a separate ballot.
The plaintiff states that the new
judiciary law is unconstitutional, and
that under its operation voter can
not vote intelligently for judicial can
didates.
Atty. Gen. Hogan demurred to the
petition on the ground that it did not
state facts sufficient to constitute a
cause for action. His demurrer was
sustained by the Cuyahoga county
common pleas and circuit courts,
which held the act to be constitutional.
The non-partisan judiciary law,
which was enacted by the legislature
year ago last winter, provides that
every judicial officer shall be placed
upon a separate ballot without any
party designation.
1t is expected that the supreme court
will decide the case promptly so that
the question will be disposed of 80
days preceding the November election,
by which time all candidates must be
certified for places on the ballot.

To Encourage Farmers to Increase

The first meeting of the Agricultural
Committee of the Ohio Bankers asso-
citation was held here, the full member
ship being present The committee was
appointed at the recent meeting of the
bankers for the purpose of encourag-
ing the farmers to secure an increased
production from their lands. 1t was
said that the prosperity of Ohio might
be doubled if the agricultural methods
were improved. The bankers feel that
they can do more for the farmers
than business men in any other field
of endeavor. One plan discussed to-
day was to encourage country bankers
who own farms to make them models
of progress as an encouragement to
the farmers in the community. Or
ganization of farmers by country
bankers was also urged
Secretary A. p. Sandles, of the State
Board of Agriculture, said Ohio has
142,000 acres of abandoned farm lands
and thousands of acres lying idle that
would produce immense quantities of
fruit If they were developed.
Looking forward to the day when
the streams of Ohio will furnish fish
