THE GOVERNOR, SENATORS AND
coNcREssMEN CHOSEN ARE
ALL REPUBLICANS.
LEGISLATURE WITH THEM
The Results Of the Voting Are Due
To the Progressive Voters Com
ing To the Support Of the
Regulars.

Portland, Me.-Republicans, rein
forced by returning Progressives, won
a victory at the election Tuesday.
They elected a governor, an auditor
two United States senators and four
representatives in congress, and took
control of the state house of represen-
tatives from the Democrats, and will
be able on a joint vote Of the legis-
lature to elect the other state officers
not chosen by popular vote.
Carl f. Milliken led his ticket, de-
feating Governor Oakley c. Curtis,
who sought reelection, by plurality
of approximately $4,000.
The Republican drift extended TO
county officers, the greater number
of counties choosing Republican
county attorneys and sheriffs. Those
offices are important locally because
holders are charged with enforcing
the prohibition law.
The vote was heavy, as had been
expected, for the campaign had been
waged with a determination not seen
in recent years. The country was
searched out for speakers of national
prominence and the greater number
of these battled on national issues.

SAYS HYPNoTISM is EASY
Prof. Munsterberg Declares He Can
Bring Anybody He Ever Met
Under Complete SubJugation.

Prof. Hugo Munsterberg, the Har-
ward psychologist, says he can hypno-
tie anybody he ever met, according
to n Cambridge (Mass.) dispatch to
the New York Evening Telegram. He
knows Kaiser Wilhelm very well, and
said he would not except the kaiser.
The Harvard summer school students
were told how easy it is to hypnotic
anybody, almost as easy as rolling
off a log" The professor predicted
great field in the future for the expert
in mind control. He said:
"Hypnotism presents vast field for
the expert. 1t is so easy to produce
the hypnotic trance that anyone can
do ii on others, but 1t is exceedingly
dangerous when thoughtlessly or ig-
norantly used. IL is simply a case of
increasing the suggestibility of the
mind, and it can be used in medicine
to cure the morphine flend, the alco-
holic fiend and all who have abnormal
desires. Often only a slight hypnosis
is necessary to effect a cure for nerv-
Gus disorders.
"Medicine, equally with law, is to
be the food for the psychologist of the
future. Every mental trait can be
measured exactly by almost perfect
standards. The old methods are OBJ
solete and the whole science Of dag
nosis has been carried into the field
of experiment. Psycho-analysis has
great future"

ARCH FALLS KILLING TWELVE
Center Span in the Worlds Largest
Bridge Collapsed And Sinks in
ST. Lawrence River.

Quebec, Can.-The great central
span of the Quebec bridge over the
st. Lawrence, the largest structure
OF its kind in the world, collapsed and
sank 200 feet into the river. Ninety
men were carried down with the 5000
ton arch. The number of dead was
placed at IL. Most of the survivors
rescued by small vessels that filled
the river at the time of the disaster,
are seriously hurt. Thousands wit
messed the catastrophe, including
members of the Canadian and Austria
liam parliaments. The hosting of the
central arch into place was the last
big task in the gigantic engineering
project that will represent an invest
ment Of $4,000 900 and a vast throng
had gathered from far and near to
see the span swung into place from
the pontoons upon which it had been
placed.
The collapse is the second of its
kind to the bridge. Nine years ago,
August 20, 1907, span fell into the
river, exacting toll OF "a lives
Stories as to the actual collapse diff
fer. The immense steel arch had
scarcely been raised Is feet from the
pontoons when it plunged to the sur
face of the river and sank 200 feet.
The central span which fell was $40
feet long. 1t is believed the disaster
will delay the opening of the bridge
for a trans-continental railway 10
months from the original days set for
completion of the work next spring
Plans for the bridge originated in
1853. but not until 1882 was the pro
iect seriously considered. The Quebec
bridge was being constructed at a
cost of s17,000.0OO to shorten the
railway journey from Halifax to the
Canadian northwest by 200 miles.
