The Opinion


Senator Scammon of Hancock, de-
bated in favor of the minority report
aging that the action of other States
il. fixing later date was no criterion
for Maine where different and pecu-
liar conditions exist. He saaid that as
early as October many men so into
the woods in his town and in Novom-
Der not better than two-thirds vote
can he polled there. The inclemenct
OF November weather in Maine. he
argued, would practically disenfraan-
chise a large number Of elderly Maine
citizens and others who could not en-
dure the cold that often greets the
November voting dates.
Senator Bartlett of Kennebec, con-
trasted the demand for the submits
sion of the suffrage question and the
demand for the submission of the
question of election dates. pointing to
the fact that hundreds appeared for
suffrage and a great volume of Pc
titions were received in favor of the
suffrage submission, whereas only one
lone senator appeared or the submits
sion Of the election date.
Senator Cole Of York, said that two
years ago the same proposal was
brought up by Senator Boynton and
defeated and if il were a matter OF
great Importance one Of the three po-
litical parties would surely have taken
it up. yet it has not been mentioned in
the platform Of any party in Maine.
He favored the keeping Of State AMI
national politics separate, as now ac-
complished through the separate dates
of the elections. He said Senator
Boynton had spoken of the great
amount of money sent by national
committees to corrupt the Maine cleo
tons, but while Senator Boynton may
have seen it in the party he repre-
sents he himself had not seen il n
the party he represents.
Senator Fulton representing Aroos-
took county the northernmost count
Of the State told Of the inconvenience
that would result if the election date
was fixed in November when cold
weather and muddy roads He also
said many were in the woods in No
vember
Senator Garcelon of Androscoggin.
one Of the signers of the majority re-
port said he favored the bill because
1t would free Maine from some meas

Senator 6oynton Replies

In r~.,iy to Senator Walker. Senator
Boynton endeavered to show that the
November date would best suit far
nlers and stated that fishermen would
rot give up a good fishing day to
vote in September. He deprecated that
fact that every four years the general
State elections and the presidential
election fall on different dates, making
an additional! expense Of $500. He ar
gufd that the national committee send
large sums Of money into Maine in
order to gain the first apparent ad
vantage and that Maine IS thus mada
a national fighting ground resulting in
unfortunate conditions. He urged tina.
this question Of the date of general
elections should be submitted to the
people for the same reasons advanced
for the same reasons advanced for the
submission OF the Wonan's suffrage
question, that there is sufficient de-
mand for the submission so that dem

nand the submit SsiOn.

Walker for Minority

Senator Walker of Somerset, was the
frs. to take the floor. He argued that
only Senator Boynton Of Lincoln, who
introduced the measure appeared in
favor Of it, that no petitions were re-
ceived from citizens of the State ia
voring it, and that there was no othe-
evidence that the people of the sta e
desired a change. and on that ground
he had signed the minority report He
further stated that he believed the
present September date the best for
Maine people and the ideal date for
women TO vote should they be given the
franchise later on. (See stenographic

NEW YORK, September 3.-with the

grand circuit races at Empire City
track, Yonkers. were continued yester-
day. The usual three events on the
program were run on quickly. as two
Of them resulted in victories by
straight heats. The magnet which
drew the crowd was the fact that the
noted racing champion. Directum L who
holds the worlds record of 1.5s. was to
be driven, in an effort to surpass his
own figures.
The stallion failed. but, considering
the track, which has been three or four
seconds slower than usual during the
whole meeting, the performance made
was. according to tho officials, better
than any record.
Directum I had been specially pre-
pared for this test, and. according to
his driver. Thomas W. Murphy. had
shown remarkable speed in his pre-
paratory brushes. This wonderful piece
Of pacing machinery made the mile in
2.o2A. He went without hobbies, Just
wearing suspender strap to hold up
the knee boots.
That he was going strong at the nm
ish is shown by the fractional times
tor the mile; The last quarter was
80 seconds for the first The second
and third were soA and 30x seconds,
respectively. Tho stallion had been
shod specially for the occasion and
wore racing plates, which with the
pads weighed only 81 ounces.

PHILADELPHIA, September "a
peace agreement has been reached by
organized base ball and the Federal
League, and the OUTLAW" organization
will open the 1915 season as the third
major league under the protection OF
the national commission, according to
information obtained here from au-
thentic sources. In reaching the agree
ment, all the details Of which will be
completed at the end of the present
season, the Federals were compelled to
withdraw their teams from Chicago
and st. Louis and give up their plan
to invade New York.
These arrangements were made at a
recent meeting of representatives of
the warning factions at the Hotel Bilt-
more in New York city, and the agree
ment was signed by representatives.
authorised by the officials Of each
league. The National and American
League circuits will remain Just as they
ganized base ball which is represented
by but ono team will have a Federal
League franchise, and two teams will
be placed in another city. Just how tho
Baltimore and Newark Federal League
franchises will be taken care Of has
not been decided, but all other ar
rangements have been perfected.
Detroit to Get Chicago Team.
The most dificult problem that con-
fronted the peace delegates was induo-
Ing the Federal League to withdraw
from Chicago. Owner Weeghman In
sisted that Chicago was capable Of TAX
ing care of three teams, but he was
finally persuaded to allow the franchise
to be transferred to Detroit. Whether
he will sell out his holdings and be al
lowed to buy stock in the Cubs is not
known, but 1t is certain he will not be
owner of the Detroit Federal League
franchise.
Phil Ball was willing to give up st.
