Prouressives Lost IS Per Cent.
of Vote of 1912
G. O. P. MAKES BIG GAINS
The Election of Representative Nc
GiIIicuddy in the Second District
Was Conceded Early, as the
Returns Showed a Plurality.

Portland, Me.-Unofficial returns
for Governor from State election, give
Oakley G. Curtis, Democrat, Mayor
of this city, lead of $500 over Gov
William T. Haines, his Republican
opponent. The standing was 58,497
for Haines, 1882 for Curtis, and
1850 for Halbert P. Gardner, the
Progressive candidate.
Complete unofficial returns for the
State Legislature show that the Re-
publicans will have a majority of
three in the Senate and the Demo
Gratis a majority of five in the lower
branch and two on joint ballot. Ac-
cording to these returns, the Senate
will consist of II Republicans and IA
Democrats and the House of CT Re-
publicans, 70 Democrats, Progress
sives, and 1 Democratic-Progressive.
In a vote heavier than that cast
at the last Presidential election, both
Haines and Curtis ran we'll ahead OF
the Taft and Wilson figures, while
the Progressive vote cast for Halbert
P. Gardner, the head of the ticket,
showed pronounced slump from that
cast for Roosevelt.
The four Congressman, A. c. Kinds,
J. A. Peters and Frank E. Guernsey,
Republicans, and D. J. McGillicuddy,
Democrat, were reelected, according
to the same returns as those received
in the Governorship contest.
Fair weather favored the voters in
the first State election Of the year.
The Progressives cast their ballot for
a complete party ticket for the first
time in this State and the size of
their vote, observers of all parties
expected, would have an important
bearing on the result. National poll
tics had been brought to the front
by more speakers of national promi-
nence than have taken part in an
loft year" election here for decade.
The Republicans marshalled a
great force of speakers, all of whom
argued at length on the tariff ques-
ton and President Wilson's policies.
The Progressives agreed from the
beginning that their candidates had
no chance of winning and made their
aim the polling of 10000 votes, which
they thought would be sufficient to de-
feat the Republicans.
Governor William T. Haines, Repub-
lican, was opposed for reelection by
Mayor Oakley c. Curtis, of Portland,
Democrat; Halbert P. Gardner, of Pat
ten, Progressive; Frederick A. Shep-
pard, Of Waterville, Prohibitionist,
and Percy F. Morse of Portland, So
cialist
A State Auditor, members of the
State Legislature and county officers
were also voted for. Prohibition, as
usual. was the most important State
issue.

mission, Says Lubin.

Washington. - Urging the passage
of a bill which would authorize the
creation of National Marketing
Commission as a semi-oficial body,
David Lubin, direction of the Interna-
tional institute of Agriculture at Rome,
told the House Agricultural Commit
tee that the proposed commission
should be composed of men with in
dividual ability and capacity to COM
mand, even if they had to be paid
salaries Of from $4,000 to $4,000 900

PrayerfuIIy Working For Peace,

Washington.-Whil President Will
son told his callers he was prayer
fully working for peace in Europe
it is known that for the present he
will take no further steps either to
sound the belligerents or otherwise
press the offer of the American gov
eminent to mediate. The President
indicated that he was studying the
best method and most opportune time
to exert influence for cessation of
the conflict. The general view is that
the belligerants are not ready for
peace terms.

WAIT PATIENTLY FOR NEWS.
Many Homes Of British Are in Mourn
ing for Loss of Relatives.

Many Homes OF British Are in Mourn
ing for Loss of Relatives.
London.-The patience with which
the British people await news from
their army is as remarkable as it is
unexpected. They know the British
troops have been engaged for a week
in terrible battle, the elimination
of the fighting which has gone on with
two or three brief respites since Au-
gust %. They know the little British
army has held the post of the hardest
fighting throughout and that the next
roll of casualties will be heavy. Yet
they appear to recognize that inexor-
able military necessity imposes upon
them these days of suspense, and from
the newspapers and the public little
complaint is heard.
The last official report revealing
any details of the British operations
was published Thursday night. That
report was not long and dealt for
the most part with scattered incidents
of Field Marshall Sir John French's
advance against the German right
wing. 1t dropped the curtain upon
the events of September IA.
The later official reports have been
terse bulletins, which enabled the
newspapers only to draw fresh lines
on their maps showing the progress
of the battle front. These bulletins
merely have announced accomplished
moves in the war game, like capable
reports of an International chess
match. >-a.-
The government has made the coun-
try understand that the requirements
OF secrecy overshadow all other con-
slderations.
The part that British officers are
playing is illustrated by the bare tes-
tmony Of the casualty lists. Seven
hundred and ninety-seven officers are
among the killed, wounded and miss
ing which is a percentage out of all
proportion to the losses in the ~anks.
One hundred and thirty officers have
Deen killed; 388 have been wounded
ana 279 are missing. Many of the
missing, probably must after be "a.
corded as killed or wounded.

at This Rate on Cotton in South.
Washington.-A government loan of
$500, 100000 to cotton farmers at the
rate of $35 on a bale, was advocated
before the House Banking and Cur
rency Committee by Southern Con-
gressmen and representatives of the
National Farmers Union. Represen-
tative Henry of Texas, who favored
the loan, urged the committee to stop
the issuance of emergency currency,
which he said would not relieve the
situation.
Mr.. Henry said banks in the South
were Withholding currency from the
cotton farmers, who needed imme-
date help. He suggested the loans
be made through banks or by post
masters.

Tongue Charms.

The tongues of animals have been
and still are in some parts OF the
world favorite amulets. A tongue cut
from a living fox is said to ward OFF
disease of all kinds, but as the person
carrying one will surely die if he hap
pens to meet fox at any crossroads,
the charm is seldom used. The tongue
OF the vulture plucked out with iron
and hung about a mans neck in new
cloth will bring him what he desires,
and some East Indians believe that if
they do not bite off the tip of the
tongue of any wild animal they kill
they will not have good luck in hunt

American League Head Still Predicts
Downfall of Feds-BasebaIl
Heads Make Statements.

! Chicago, Ill, June 16.-Organized
I baseball sat up and took notice last
night when word went the rounds that
six diamond celebrities had arranged
to follow in the steps of Armando Mar
sans, former centerfielder of the Gin
cinnati Reds, who, after serving 10
! days notice on Garry Hermann, jump
| ed the traces and cast his lot with the
| st. Louis Federals.
/ Prominent among the half-dozen ath-
| Ietes said to be ready for a like move
is Hal Chase, peerless first baseman of
| the Chicago White Sox. Others are
Dave Davenport, Rube Benton and
/ Leon Ames, pitchers, and Tom Clarke,
| catcher of the Cincinnati team, and
Pitcher Schulz Of the New York Yam
KEGS.
Official confirmation of these reports
was sought in all quarters, but mys-
terry shrouded the case of each player
in question. From the stronghold of
the Federals came word that the six
FASTENERS had negotiated with agents
of the third league, and had decided to
demand new contracts from the clubs
by which they now are employed.
Looks Like Wholesale Raid.
According to the story. the first clew
of which leaked out of Weeghman park
yesterday afternoon, Chase had been
shared by the Buffalo Feds. \ dis
patch last night from Detroit stated
that Pitcher Schulz had left the Yam
kee camp in that city for Buffalo, where
he would join the Buffeds today. News
that Davenport had jumped the Reds
and reported TO Mordecai Brown st.
Louis Feds was received in Cincinnati
last night.
Two weeks ago Marsans and Daven- |
port made similar demands on Garry |
Hermann for new contracts. Mar
sans was suspended indefinitely, while |
Davenport accompanied the Reds on /
the eastern trip. Hermann last night |
admitted that he was taken complete |
ly by surprise.
Pitcher Ames, according to advices |
from Fed circles, is to follow Daven-
port TO the Mound City. Catcher
Clarke and Pitcher Benton, the latter
a finished left-hander. are said TO be
slated for berths with the Pittsburgh
Rebels
President B. B. Johnson of the

story OF the grand stampede as ridicu-
