Republicans Victorious
Over Democrats In Maine

Portland, Me. September s.-Speaker
Jehn A. Peters, republican of Ellsworth,
was chosen to fill the congressional va
cancy in the Third Maine district today
by plurality of 55s over Mayor William
A. Pattangall, democrat, of Waterville,
with Edward M. Lawrence of I.ubec, pro-
gressive, poor third in the race.
The returns in this special elections
from all but a small island plantation
gave: Peters, 1906; Pattangall, 1455S;
Lawrence, 64S7.
The vote for President in November
was: Wilson (democrap, 1882 Roosevelt
(progressive). 1926 Taft republican).
1853.
The election, made necessary by the
death of Forest Goodwin, the republican
representative ficm that district as
fought out on national issues with peak
ers of national prominence stumping the
district for the republican, progressive
and democratic candidates. The voters
responded to the appeal in larger num-
bers than voted at the last presidential
election.
Republican leaders were jubilant tonight
over the success in view of the fight
waged by the national administration to
capture the district. Mr. Peters said
IT regard the result of the election as
a signal triumph not only for the re-
publican principles of protection, but also
for the new liberal republicans. / believe
to be entirely possible to harmonic and
unite the anti-demoncratic strength. The
differences between the progressives and
regular republicans are not fundamental
but more a difference of opinion as how
the same principles should be admins
tered"
Mr.. Pattangall attributed his defeat to
party treachery." and denied that the
result was a regul1e to the national ad-
ministration. The defeated progressive
candidate, Mr.. Lawrence, declined to
comment on the result, but Halbert p.
Gardner, member of the progressive ma.
tional committee from Maine, said: Lack

the matter was argued before supreme

The questions were, first. whether

Irregularities Against Immi-

by Thaw Attorneys
FORMAL ORDER
WAS NOT MADE
for Defense Make Known
Main Hopes of Their Side of the
Case-Would Allow Jerome
to Speak

Montreal. September S.-According to
j. N. Greenshields of Thaw counsel.
one OF the main hopes of the defense
in the Thaw deportation proceedings,
aside from the fight against the inn
migration act itself. Is an alleged fr-
regularity in the proceedings taken by
the immigration officers. II Is contend-
ed they did not have formal order
fron1 the minister OF Justice to take
Thaw in charge. which the defense
claims is necessary under the act when
the alien affected has been In the coun-
try 10 days.
Thaw had been in the country over
10 days when he was surrendered to
the immigration officials and 7. r. r.
Meinnes. X. c.. has made an affidavit
that the immigration men took Thar
in charge without having proper au-
thority from the minister.
lie states that before the hoard of
inquiry he demanded that e. Blake
Robertson, assistant superintc adent OF
immigration. produce this document
and that the latter declined to do So
Second Reason Cited
The second reason cited TO Judges
Gervais and Cross in the formal ap-
plication made by Thaw's counsel be-
fore the matter was brought into
chambers Friday was the unconstitu-
tfonality of the act.
The third point was the alleged mis-
use of the act to supplement and aid
the enforcement of law and order In
New York state
"Thaw's chances of ultimate free
dom are better now than they have
hnN L..
arrested ON charge of murder"
summed up Mr.. Greenshields "The im-
migration act is full of holes. 1t Is a
positive disgrace to Canada"
If the judges of the court OF kings
bench prove willing the hearing of the
Thaw appeal against the immigration
act may prove to be unique in the
appearance as spokesman before tile
court of an American lawyer William
Travers Jerome
When formal application was made
for the writ of habeas corpus, direct
ed to the immigration officers last Fri
day, N. X. IsaFlamme had a lengthy
private conversation with Judges Ger
vais and Cross and made sneeial re
quest that If the case came before
the courts william Travers Jerome
should be allowed to speak
Matter of Courtesy
Although American lawyers have no
right to speak In a Canadian court.
Mr. LaFlamme considered that under
the circumstances this courtesy might
be extended to Mr.. Jerome. As tho
makers of the appeal show desire
to depart from the usual custom and
as 1t practically Is within tie juris-
dfction of the court to permit this II
1t sees fit. another new departure may
be evolved in the already unique Thaw
case.
1t is worthy of note In this connec-
tion that some 25 years ago j. N.
Greenshields, X c., of Thaw's counsel.
was engaged in a famous forgery case
in New York. Al that time. although
he was the chief counsel for the de-

Richardson Again To Be
Candidate For Congress
by G. e. STEWART

Washington. September s.-(special)
Representative William Richardson will
be candidate for reelection to Congress
from the Eighth Alabama district
Last year he had a serious and long
spell of Illness which came very near
cutting short his career, but he sought
treatment and rested from his labors
and inasmuch as the House has practi-
calIy been doing. no business since the
tariff bill passed that body. he has spent
the time at Atlantic City. He has i'm
proved rapidly there and has practically
regained his health.
AS is we'll known to the people Of Ala
bama, Judge Richardson has taken a
foremost position in urging recognition
OF the Tennessee river In Congress. 1t is
no disparagement to others to say that
he is probably better posted on the SUBJ
ject OF the Improvement of that water
way than any other man In the House.

ing organization and prevented proper
publicity"
Nj. Pattangall. the democratic candi-
date. gave out the following statement to-
night;
From the returns which | have re-
ceived | should judge that Mr.. John A.
Peters was elected to Congress from this
district by plurality of 800 to 400 in a
total vote of about 5000.
The result should not be construed as
rebuke to the national administration.
1t is wholly to be attributed to demo-
cratic treachery. Because certain men
tailed of success i'm the primaries they
deliberately sacrificed the party i'm this
election. The democracy of Maine is loyal
to President Wilson and will present a
United front in the next presidential cam
paign. Personally, | want to thank the
l5O00 democratic voters who supported
me at the polls and to thank, as WELL the
state and national democracy for the part
each took in the campaign We all made
the best fight We were capable of maxi
ing, and, while the result is disappont-
ing we are discouraged and only tenn
porarily defeated"
Halbert F. Gardner member of the pro-
sressive national committee of Maine,
said tonight:
The returns Indicate the election OF
John A. Peters in the Third district We
had no money. Lack of funds hampered
the progressive working organization and
prevented proper publicity. 1t is evident
that the voters of the Third district are
absolutely opposed to the policies of the
democratic party
Washington, September S.-Returns from
the Maine congressional election were
awaited here with extraordinary interest
by the leaders of all parties. The demo-
Gratis. who had sent Secretary Bryan,
Speaker Champ Clark and other notable
canpaigners into Maine to aid Pattangall

that their man probably was defeated

Has Matter in Hand
The Muscle Shoals proposition is in
situation that no new member of Con-
gress could possible handle Judge Rich
ardson has this matter well in hand and
has been in close touch during sthe past
decade with the government engineers
regarding that important question. He
hopes and believes that this problem will
be definitely settled during the sixty
fourth Congress, and that is his main
reason for wishing to have one more
term in the House.
One of the prominent men in the Eighth
district. in a signed statement, declared
although he himself had congressional
aspirations he was willing to wait. be-
cause he thought 1t was necessary for
the district, the state and his entire Sec
tion to have the services of Judge Rich
ardson until the policy of properly i'm
proving the Tennessee river could be
perfected. NJ
Judge Richardson will not be candi-
date after the expiration of the sixty

free sugar in 1916 was finally agreed
to in the Senate at / o'clock Tuesday
morning Senator Bristow yielded in
his former demand for another roll
call because Senator Ransdell's
amendment had been decisively de-
feated earlier.
An amendment by Chairman Sim
mons of the finance committee to en-
able farmers to manufacture de-
natured alcohol was agreed to without
opposition. The amendment removed
troublesome restrictions now required
by law.
After agreeing to numerous minor
paragraphs, the Senate adjourned at
1:27 a. m. until 9 o'clock Tuesday
morning.
Democratic lines stood solidly tonight
against the final onslaught of the opposi-
tion in the tariff fight With party lead
ers urging their colleagues on to approval
of the bill. the ranks closed up against
the anti-free wool and anti-free sugar
forces and defeated all amendments to
the hill as fast as they came TO the
vote.
Attempts to restore to the bill duty on
raw wool and to raise the duty on woolen
manufactured goods made in successive
amendments by Senators LaFollette, Cat
ron and Penrose were defeated without
the loss of party vote.

Repeated efforts were made to secure

the bill at some definite hour tomorrow

Senator Ransdel in beginning his fight

free wool also and would join In any

HITCHCOCRs MOVE


Senator Hitchcocks action in withdrawing
from the Democratic caucus mystified people in
Hawaii, but it had very simple explanation
and no connection whatever with sugar, accord
ing to the Washington dispatches. Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska withdrew from the Dem
ocratic tariff caucus because that body voted
down his amendment that would put gradual
ed Income tax on tobacco production.
Senator Hitehcock's revolt, which he later de.

measure, served to determine that there would

1t was because he anticipated such resolu
