Campaign Pamphlet Not in Favor.


Senator Frank Hanson has experi.
enced more delay over his bill to
abolish the campaign pamphlet. The
senate delayed action so that Lieuten-
ant Governor Dithmar might be given
an opportunity to be heard. Mr.. Dith-
mar is bent on saving the pamphlet.
Test votes indicate that the senate is
disposed to abolish the booklet be-
cause it is not used to any extent by
candidates in Wisconsin.
The senate passed the bill doiag
away with second choice voting in
Wisconsin. Second choice voting is
commonly known as Mary Ann" The
greatest argument against the second
choice system is the fact that voters
hav used it but little.
No appointments will be made by
the governor until the program of the
legislative investigating committee has
been acted upon. All matters per-
tanning to boards and commissions
will be held UP until the legislature
has decided how many boards and
commissions are to be maintained.

STATE HOUSE

In the matter Of the fatal accident
to Mary Louise Taylor on the premises
Of the Lewiston. Augusta & Waterville
Street Railway in Hallowell. July .,
the Public Utilities Commission gives
the following decision:
Mary Louise Taylor. aged six years,
Of HalloweIl, was struck by passen-
ger car of the Lewiston, Augusta &
Waterville Street Railway, on Water
Street in Hallowell, at about 5.45 P.
NJ, July 9Th. 1915. and instantly killed,
her neck being broken and her body
passed over by the forward part OF the
car and badly mutilated.
A representative of this Commits
sion went Immediately to the scene of
the accident and made measurements
and other examination of the local
conditions, afterward interviewing
passengers who were on the car, and
on the following morning taking tes-
timony Of the car crew and the Divi-
sional Superintendent.
Careful investigation and consider
alton Of the evidence leads to the fol-
lowing conclusions:
The car, in charge of a motorman Of
five years experience and excellent rec
ord, left Gardiner for Augusta at $50
P. NJ. 1t had stopped at a point called
Burns" about 800 feet South of the
point of the accident, to take on two
passengers. When within about 200
feet of the South switch of "Joppa"
siding, going about eight miles an
hour, the motorman noticed the Taylor
girl and some other children playing
in a sand pile at the East side of the
street (the track is located near the
West side at this poinD. When within
about 100 feet of point directly OPP
posite the girl the motorman saw her
start to run across the street. He i'm
to the girl. applied the air and re-
versed his brakes. The girl continued
without looking toward the car. and
was struck before the car could be
stopped. She was found just in front
of the second set of wheels of the
forward truck.
All the evidence indicates that the
motorman was running his car at a
reasonable rate Of speed. exercising or
binary care. and that he observed the
girl as soon as there was anything to
indicate that she was likely to get
into danger and promptly did every
thing possible to avert the accident.
The condition Of the car and of the
road bed appeared to be good. We
find no evidence of negligence on the
part Of the Company or of its en-
ployees

FINAL PREPARATION FOR
BIG GREEK PAGEANT

FINAL preparations are now being
made by the Congress Square Asso-
GATES for their big Greek Pageant
which is TO be produced by them at
Great Chebeague Island next Satur-
day afternoon. Without doubt this is
to be one of the biggest things of its
kind ever pulled off in the State of
Maine. and thousands will be in at
tendance from all parts of New Eng
land.
Special rates on the Maine Central
and the Grand Trunk railroads will be
given TO people wishing to attend the
Pageant. and these rates will con
tinue from Friday the 10Th until Mon
day the 10Th. giving the visitors an
opportunity to not only see the ar
tistic classic, The Adventures Of
Ulysses" but also a chance to spend
few days in Portland which ar this
time of the year is the mecca for
thousands of tourists from all over
the country.
The leading part in the Pageant,
that of Ulysses. is to be taken by
Robert Dempster of New York one of
Americas stars. Mr.. Dempster is at
present time spending the summer at
Bailey Island. where he and Mrs.
Clara Louise Burnham are writing
book which was inspired by Mr.
Dempster's adventures in England at
the time Of the outbreak Of the World
War.
Miss Virginia Tanner, one of the
most popular and talented classic
dancers and directors OF Pageants in
the country, has the staging of the
big production under her direction.
AS the capacity of the steamers of
the Casco Bay and Harpswell lines
are limited, the sale Of seats to the
enclosure at Chebeague has also had
to be limited. 1t therefore is wise for
the person wishing to attend the
classic. to secure seats as early as
possible.
The music is to be furnished by a
band composed of over forty of the
States leading musicians and the en-
tire affair is one worth journeying
