The Minor Parties

Ii is the first time the Progressive
party has sponsored a State ticket in
Maine and it has made almost as
many nominations rs either of the
two principal parties. The Socialists
have named candidates for Governor
and for each of the four congressional
seats. The Prohibitionists have can
didates for governor fer two of the
congressional places and like the So
eialists have made iuessnfastss nomi-
nations for county offices.
Governor William 7. Haines of Wat
erville seeks reelection as the Re-
publican nominee. He is opposed by
Oakley C. Curtis mayor Of Portland,
Democrat; Halbert4 P. Gardner of Pat
ten, Progressive: Frederick A. Shop
pard of waterville, Prehibitionist, and
Percy F. Morse of Portland, Social
Isl
In campaign fought almost entire
~ on national issues, the Democrats
have asked for endorsement of Pres
ident Wilson's administration. State
affairs have figured but little, except
for the ever present subject of prohi-
bition and law enforcement.
Democratic leaders claim that Pres
ident Wilson's policies will be upheld
by the election of three of the four
congressman and add that there Is
possibility of a clean sweep. Success SIS
is claimed also for their candidate for
Governor. Both Republicans and Dem
ocrats admit that the Progressive vote
Will be a factor of Importance Two
years ago when Republicans and Pro-
gressives were united Haines was
elected over Governor Frederick w
Plaisted by plurality of S229 Repub-
licans contend Governor Haines' re-
election is assured, and that they will
elect three of the four congressman.
The Democrats admit only that the
Fourth district is in doubt. Republi-
cans say there is a possibility that
the Democrats may win in the Sec
ond district.
In the Presidential election two years
ago, the Taft electors had 26.545 votes,
those for President Wilson 81, 113 and
for Col. Roosevelt 4S,495
The only election that has been held
since that time was for congressman
in the Third district last September
AT that time, the Republican candi-
dae, John A. Peters, was elected by
plurality of 525 votes over William +.

'Ebbets, Jr., Says Spring Camp

Hudson.

President Charles H. Ebbets, 3r., Of
the Newark club. has just perfected
a brand new scheme, according to hts
biographers and historians. Through
precedent established some time In
the dark. dim past, it has become GUS
tomary for baseball teams to go South
after their winters hibernation in or
der TO thaw out.
After delving through various data
and miscellaneous material OF a most
convincing nature, Ebbets, 1r., has
reached the conclusion that the solu-
tion Of the problem OF minor league
magnates is to send their teams north
instead OF southwark Not too fast
now. The Tigers are not going 70
train in Montreal. and Sammy Ach-
tenhein is not going to send his
charges to Alaska. Guess where the
Tigers are going-you can't? Well

Bowler
Makes 10 Straight Strikes

Age is evidently no hindrance
against being a first-class bowler.
At least that Is the case with
Lewis X. Thurston, a trustee Of
the Hanson Place Baptist
Church, of Brooklyn. Recently
on the alleys of the Bedford Y.
M. C. A. Brooklyn, Thurston,
who is sixty-six years old, rolled
three match games and OBJ
tained an average of 243. His
scores for the match were 20S,

straight strikes for a perfect
game, Thurston stuck right to
his task and rolled four more In
the third game Of the night
making a total of sixteen
straight strikes, record that
any bowler might well be proud
of. Previous to his perfect game
Thurston held the high score

Coach Horace Butterworth's East

The East Side team at the present

Coach Butterworth has pair of the
fastest forwards seen on the school
boy courts in some time. Leonardis
was runner-up to Lefkowitz, of Cen
