tuesdays Primary.

Well, Vermont has had its first ex.
perieuce with the direct primary and
it leaves Senator Carroll 5. Page
sticking close to the job" AS a re.
suit Of Yesterdays voting the veteran
senator from Hyde Park is assured Of
another term in Washington, or at
least as much of il as his age will al.
low him to serve. The Reiormer looks
for no great things from Senator Page
from now on Tor the reason that he
has accomplished nothing conspicu-
ously statesmanlikc in the eight years
he has already been in Washington.
His victory yesterday came about as
the result Of the most determined sup
port OF the organization forces
throughout the state. and 1t forecasts
another equally stubborn contest
when the time comes to name his sue
cesso'
While naturally disappointed at
Senator Pages victory The Relormer
is able to extract considerable comfort

this county demonstrates that a can

PRES. AND LANSING WILL DECIDE
Bcinstorff Says Germany Will Keep Promise Made tO Uni'ed States.

Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 9.-Secre- tary Lansing wYl come here tomorrow
 for conference with President Will
 son concerning German raids off the American coast. It is expected he
 will remain over nigh: at the presl-
 dents summer residence.
 It is said that there is nothing in
 the report so far received to show
 that international law Or the earlier
 promises of Germany have been vio-
 lated Concern over the situation centers about the possibility of what
 might happen if the submarine at
 tacks were continued.
 The position of the American gov
 ernment and it's determination to make a full investigation before act
 ing is shown in the following state.
 ment by the president:
 r. ,"The government will. of course,
 first inform itself as to all the facts
 that there may be no doubt or mis-
 take as far as they are concerned. The country may rest assured mat che German government will be helIrto the complete fulfllmHnt of its prom ises to the government of the United States, I have no right now to ques- tion it's willingness to fulfill them" Count von Bernstoriff, the German
 ambassador, who came here today tc give the president a letter from the German emperor on Polish relief. dis cussed the new activities of German submarines. It is said the president
 made it clear that, while the American government has no intention of inter fering with the legitimate activities of the submarines, it will insist on the strict observance of the pledges given
 by the German government
 l The ambassador, who had no officia ! information from his government or | the submarine attacks, said that Ger l many will conduct her submarine war | fare in accordance with the rules O. 1 cruiser warfare. Germany alway. keeps her promises" he said.
 It is said that the talk between the president and the ambassador was en
 tirely friendly, but that the president informed the ambassador of his deter
 imitation to act friendly if the righ.s of the United States are infringed.

 The Six Victims.
 Teh record of submarine warfare as brought to land by wireless dispatch es. follows:
 The Strahdene, British freighter. tor pedoed and sunk off Nantucket. Crew taken aboard Nantucket Shoals light ship and later removed to Newport by torpedo boat destroyers. The Strah- dene left New York for Bordeaux and was attacked at Gam.
 The West Point, British freighter, torpedOed and sunk off Nantucket. Crew abandoned the ship in small boats ofter.c..~aafning shot from the submarines gun. Officers and men were taken on board destroyer. The vessel was attacked at 10:45 a. m. She was bound from London for NewpCr, News.
 The Stephano, British ined. plyins regularly between New York, Halifax and St. Johns. N F. Torpedoed south east of Nantucket, while bound fo~ New York, reported still afloat late tonight. Passengers and crew mum, bered 14O were picked up by the des- troyer Balch and transferred to the destroyer Jenkins. The attack was made at 4:30 p. m.
 The Kingston, British freighter. tor, pedoed and sunk southeast of Nan, tucket. Crew missing, and destroyern searching for them. This vessel is not accounted for in maritime register, and may be the Kingstonian The at> tack occurred at p. m.
 The Bloomersdijk, Dutch freighter, torpedoed and sunk south of Man. tucket. Crew taken aboard destroy CT. Tn steamer was bound from New York for Rotterdam, having sailed last night
 The Christian Knudsen, Norwegian freighter. torpedoed and sunk near where the Bloomrsdijk went down Crew picked up by destroyers The vessel sailed from New York Saturday for London.
 U-BOat in Steamer Lanes.
 The sensation created yesterday when the U-53 quietly slipped into Newport harbor and as quietly slip ped away three hours later. was less than the shock in shipping circles when wireless reports of submarine attacks began to come into the naval radio stations just before noon today. Within few minutes the air was lit- erally charged with electricity. as wireless messages of warning were br0adcasted along the coast.
 The submarine or submarines had taken a position directly in the steam CT lanes. where they could hardly miss anything for New York or bound east from that port.
 Vessels of the entente allied nations and neutral bottoms carrying contra band of war scurried to get within the three-mile limit of the American shore. Several that were following the outside of the course shifted and made for the inside lane. The Stephano oi the Red Cross line. however, was caught outside the neutral line.

JUDGE KIRBY
 NOMINATED
State Central Committee Named Judge w. F. Kirby as Democratic Can.
 didate for U. $. Senator.

Little Rock, Oct 7-(Special) )-The Democratis State Central Committee yesterday afternoon nominated Assoc fate Justice w. F. Kirby for the office of United States Senator to succeed Jame- P. Clarke, to run in the general election on November 1
 Within an hour after the adjourn ment of the Committee, Gov. Hays issued a proclamation calling a spec ial election on November z, for the purpose of filling the vacancy. He then declared that the action of the Committe was satisfactory to him.
 At meeting of the Republican State Central Committe at 2 o'clock. H. l.. Remmel was nominated for us: Senator. to be certified out for the November election.
 Three names were placed in nomi- nation before the Democratic Com mittee after two hours sparring for an, opening. It seemed that all were of the same mind to protest the in- terests of the party, but there was a great divergence of opinion as to ths method of procedure.
 Patrick Henry of Monticello nOmi- mated w. F. Kirby; D. Ward Dunlap oi Clarksville nominated c. c. Reid; w B. Smith, as proxy for Dave Block of Wynne, nominated S.Brundidge o1 Searcy. The first and. decisive ballot resulted irf the election of Judge Kir- by.
 Kirby Will Resign.
 Judge Kirby will resign the latter part of this month, from the Supreme Court bench, leaving a vacancy to be filled temporarily by appointment by the governor. A special election must later be held. Within twelve hours after the nomination of Judge Kirby at least three will known Democrats were being mentioned for the prospec- tive vacancy on the Bench. They are former Circuit Judge J. H. Evans. of Booneville; Chancellor w. A. Falcon CT of Fort Smith, mad Chancellor HI. Humphreys of Fayetteville. The sails of goodly fleet of winning BarRises appears in the offering. It is known that Gov. Hays himself would not be averse to holding seat on the Su- preme Bench, but just how this could be brought about is not very clear Political sleight-Of-hand prophets say that the governor might resign and that Lem B. Kendall. as acting gov ernor, could then appoint him to fill the vacancy on the bench, but such a suggestion is looked upon as too res mote and improbable to merit con- sideration.

GERMAN U BOAT
 SINKS SIX SHIPS
Four British Steamers and Two Neu- trals Attacked off Nantucket. War
 Boats Near Shores of the U. s.

Newport, R. l., Oct. 9.-It was re- ported that seventh ship had been torpedoed Her identity was unknown but des,royers are searching for her.
 Four destroyers of the American flOtilla came into harbOr here early this morning br;n ging 216 persons res- cued from the ships sunk Sunday off Nantucket by a German submarine. The Ericsson, the first of the destroy CTS to arrive, brought 81, the Drayton 68, the Benham 36, and the Jenkins 3l.
 Thirty-five women and 10 chilren are among those on the Ericsson. This information came by wireless in ad- vance of the actual docking of the destrOyers.
 Boston. Oct. 8.-The submarine arm of the imperial German navy ravaged shipping off the eastern coast of the United States today. Four British, one Dutch and one Norwegian steam CTS were sent to the bottom or left crippled derelicts off Nantucket Shoals
 Tonight, under the light of the nun ter's moon" the destroyer flotilla oi the United States Atlantic fleet Is picking up passengers and crews ol the destroyed vessels and bringing them into Newport, R. I.
 So far as known there was no life lost. though at late hour the crew of the British steamer Kingston hac not been accountd for.
 The submarine held up the American steamer Kansan, bound from New York for Genoa with steel for rhe Italian government, but on establish ing her identity allowed the American to proceed. The Kansan came into Boston horbor late tonight for hel usual call here.
 The hostile submarine is believed tt be, the U-53, which paid call to New port yesterday and disappeared at sun set. Some naval men, however, dclar ed that at least two submarines art operating close to the America shore though outside the three-mile limit.
 One thing that is puzzling maya men tonight is why the U-53 came int port yesterday and another thing thai is the subject of the speculation o many outside the navy is why des troycr fleet of 17 vessels was sent out to rescue the crew of a single freigh' steamer. The destroyers were order. cd out at the first report that the Wes Point had been torpedoed.
 The theory advanced tonight wal that Commander Rose of the U-5: came to Newport to advise Rear Ad miral Knight that he was about to at tack hostile shipping and contrabant carrying vessels under the rules of In ternational law. Rear Admiral Knight
