On Thursday the Democratic state
convention was held in Portland. This
was not nominating convention, as IL
chose no candidates nor delegates, Its
only business being, under the present
law, to choose committees and draft a
platform. OF 1881 entitled to seats, 107S
though no nominations were made the
event was made the occasion of booming
the several candidates for the gubernato-
rial nomination, may have had something
to do with the large attendance.
Hon. William r. Psttsngall of Water
vile presided as chairman of the con-
vention, and made the Keynote speech,
and an extended speech was made by
United States Senator Charles r. John
son. Hon. Obadiah Gardner and others
also spoke, and much enthusiasm was
displayed.
The special event of the convention
was the reconciliation with Mr.. Pattau-
gall of Edgar r. Hanson Of Belfast and
Hon. Samuel w. Gould of Skowhegan,
who have opposed Mr. Pattangall in the
Third District. Mr.. Hanson was present
as q delegate from Belfast, and it was
proposed that he should not be seated
because Of his former attitude, but he
was finally admitted, and he and Mr..
Gould pledged their best efforts to the
party. 1t is said that Mr.. Pattangall
will now reconsider his decision not to
be candidate for Congress in the Third
District.
Matthew Mccarthy of Rumford was
chosen the Oxford County member OF
the State Committee.
Considerably more than half of the re-
port Of the committee on resolutions is
preamble recounting the achievements
of the Democratic party in its
one year Of power. Coming down to
the present time and situation, the plat
form condemns the legislature Of 1918
for failure TO enact tax legislation, and
favors such changes as twill place the
burden of taxation where it justly be-
longs; advocates home rule in taxation
by the cities and towns through an
amendment to the constitution; favors a
convention to make general revision OF
the state constitution; favors laws which
will enable injured workmen to receive
just and reasonable compensation; de-
nounces the public utilities bill of the
last legislature, and the action Of Gov
ernor Haines in failing to sign the FIVE
hundred mileags-book act; believes in
temperance, and demands submission of
tho prohibitory amendment so that a
local option license law may be secured ;
favors 54-hour law, and q reformatory
for women; and in general terms ap-
proves Of good roads for all the people,
the proper development Of our water
powers for use in Maine, and the proper
regulation of public service corporations
by some method.

Last Weeks Conventions.

With the holding Of state conventions
last week our almost-continuous-per
Torrance of politics may be said to have
been marked by point in the form OF
the opening of campaign.
The first convention was the state
convention of the Progressive party,
held at Bangor on Tuesday. Inssmuch
as the Progressive party has as yet no
legal status as party in this state, this
was nominating convention, as will all
others of the party be, and the nominees
will be placed on the ballot for the state
election by petition.
Halbert p. Gardner of Patten was
nominated for governor, and Merton I.
Goodrich of Bingham for state auditor.
OF 1880 delegates entitled to seats in
the convention, 99S were present. Nor
rill n. Drew of Portland was chairman
of the convention, and there were
speeches by Mr.. Drew, by Mr.. Gardner.
and by United States Senator Clapp OF
Minnesota. The convention was lively
and enthusiastic. The remarks OF Mr..
Warren of Westbrook, who advocated
supporting Governor Haines, found no
favor whatever.
discussion on prohibition. As reported
by the committee, the platform favored
enforcement of probibitory laws, and
advocated the submission of the ques-
ton of national prohibition to the people
of every state in the union. A substi-
tute resolution introduced by Rev. q. Z.
Dunnaok Of Augusta declared in favor
of the principle of prohibition, and for a
national prohibitory law. After being
extensively debated, this amendment
was lost by vote of 267 to S3l.
A. 4. Stearns of Rumford was chosen
the Oxford County member of the Pro-
gressive State Committee.

AMERICAN LEAGUE MEETS.

CHICAGO. Nov. 6.-Business of the utmost importance to organized base ball was taken up today when the magnates of the American League opened their annual meeting. Presi. dent Johnson is keeping his plans and secrets closely guarded, and the meeting is entirely behind closed doors
 It is believed by those closest in touch with the situation that the main subject of discussion is the attitude to be maintained by the lea que toward the minor leagues. who are threatening disruption as a result of bad business during the past sum mer.
 When the minors hold their meet ing in Omaha next Monday, President Johnson will probably be present and may attempt to assuage the war like conditions that are reported to exist there. The problem of the minors is serious one, for several leagues have threatened to break from the regular combination and throw in their lot with the fedepals

RIFLE CLUB WILL
 HOLD ANNUAL TRY
 FOR MEDAL TROPHY
Members Will Contest November 22; Will Also Shoot for Cups
 and Places on Rifle Team to Compete With Douglas Men.

The date of the annual competition of the Bisbee Rifle club. in which mem bers of the team will be chosen and in which the winner of the club medal the club cup and other club trophys will be picked, has been set for Nov ember 22. Fifteen men of the club have announced they vii compete for the medal this year, although ten are all that the rules require.
 The medal is a present of the club It is given each year to the man hay ing the highest score, but no one man is eligible to win the trophy twice in succession. In addition there is the presidents and the clubs trophy cup for which the members compete.
 The team which will represent the locals will also be chosen from the re- suits of the shoot, The six high men will compete for the local organiza- ton against the Douglas Rifle club in their annual shoot There is much in. terest in the coming contest among the club members, and the outcome of the mach is already the subject .of several bets.

ROAD WORK WILL BE
 DISCONTINUED DEC. 1
Failure of Bond Issue Is ReSpon- sible; Will Begin to Lay
 of Men Soon.

There is little doubt that state road work in Cochise county will be dis continued entirely by December 1st. according to state road officials in this county week from today, on the 14th. a large number of the 125 men now employed in the county on state road work will be laid of and with the end of the month work will be suspended entirely.
 The cessation of work is due to the failure of the $5.0OO 900 bond issue. which was turned down at the cleo ton Tuesday, and the consequent lack of funds The measure failed to pass even in Cochise county which has realized a great deal of benefit from the road wark conducted by the state. The vote in this county was 2554 for and 33OS against, giving a majority of 754 against the proposed issue.
 The only way to have the road con tinued in this county say state road officials, is for the board of supervi. sors to take some action to supply the necessary funds. It is highly improb. able that the present board. the ma jority of whom are retiring, will take Iany action. and as the new board will not take office until the first of the year. it will be impossible for them to act oue way or the other in time to affect the present men employed
 Assistant State Engineer Ryan and his office force will probably move to some other section of the state, where there is still some money for road work which has not been used up
 The appropriation made from the state funds for Cochise county will have been entirely exhausted by De ] cember 1.

TIME FOR FL PASO
 TO BISBEE WILL NOT
 BE REDUCED IN RAGE
But From Here to ProeniK Will Be Better, Is Prediction: May Be Another Entry; Bulletins
 Will Be Supplied to Limited.

According to arrivals from El PasO the racers in the big El paso-Phoenix classic will make as good time be- tween El Paso and Bisbee this year as last, but between here and Phoc- nix will cut down the time. It is be- lieved the time for the entire race will be considerably reduced. The road between Lordsburg and Rodeo is heavy. according to these arrivals. and this will prevent fast time and may result in some Of the cars bog- ging down and losing much time or even having to retire from the race.
 Joe Gray Arizona race representa- tive, has completed arrangements for receiving bulletins from practi- cally all the towns along the line. The F. P. & s. W. will have its agent at Rodeo telegraph the standing there and it will be transmitted by tele. phone to the other places along the line In return Gray will notify the railroad company of the progress of the race and this information win be used for the benefit of the passengers on the Golden State Limited. a large number of whom will be race fans from El Paso and other points.
 Assistant State Engineer J. c. Ky an has promised to guard the state highway in this county to protect travellers during the race The Auto club will pay for five deputies to as sist in the work of protection
 There are now thirty cars sched uled for the race, but there may be a post-entry. What the car is or who the driver is. is not known but 1t ii said the entry will be allowed if the owner cares to come in. Although

While enthusiasm runs riot when thinking of the valiant deeds of the boys in blue in the great wars-the Revolution, the War of 1872, the Civil War and the Spanish-American War often one is prone to forget the sacrifices made for country in the so-called Wars of Civilization" the wars against the Indians. At the Lowell Theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday. November 17th and 18th the moving pictures of some of the most interesting of these battles witl, the Indians on the frontier will be shown
 For historical accuracy perhaps no film that has yet appeared equals "The Indian War Refought by the United States Army" which was pro duced under the personal direction of Buffalo Bill" CCol W. F. Cody), General Nelson A. Miles and General Charles King. The pictures were talk en on the original battle fields. Many of the participants in the original bat ! ties, army men and Indians. refought , their fights for the benefit of the camera men. Four troops of United States cavalry, hundreds of Indians from the reservations, took part, per
 mission having been granted by the | Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Interior that this marvellous
 story of frontier history could be l preserved at time when so many
 of the gallant commanders. scouts

DRY ARIZONA WILL
 NOT EMBARRASS
 CITY FOR FINANCES
In Making up Budget City Dads
 Considered Possibility of Dry State and Figured According
 ly; Other Cities in Trouble.

That Bisbee has some far-sighted city officials is again proved by the fact that since Arizona has gone dry a large number of cities over the state which operated on the annual budget plan. as Bisbee does, have be- gun to weep and wall and wonder how they are going to raise sufficient revenue to meet the expenses of the city during the fiscal year
 Most Arizona city fathers We're so sure that the state would not go dry they did not take that contingency into consideration when making up the budget. and now they are up against it. Bisbee city officials also felt that there was little danger of dry state, but nevertheless they were far-sighted enough 10 figure on the possibility, and they made the budget and figured the taxes on that basis. The result is that a dry Arizona will not handicap Bisbee in the least in raising money for her running expens- les. Douglas and many other cities. which did not take into consideration the possibility of a dry state, are now wondering if they can reopen the bud get and add little more onto the tax payers.
 The saloon business pays into the city treasury of Bisbee approximately Sl7OOO a year S2.OOO of which is re- aiized from wholesale taxes and the remainder from retail. The fiscal wear here begins July first. Thus the ab- sence of the saloon taxes will cut down the receipts of the city from this source exactly one half for the present fiscal year, as the dry law goes into effect January 1. This will mean loss of approximately $s.5OO. put as this was taken into considera- ton in fixing the budget. 1t win not affect the city in any way.
 The entire amount to be raised this year for the running expenses of the city and to take up some bonds and pay interest on others is S185.576. Of this amount $12.6O1.37 is for the bond fund. Of the total amount to be raised 96.628.OO is a direct pro- perty tax and the remaining S38.g58 VIII be realized from other sources.
