anything like the following. the item
being taken from the Houlton Times:
"Some peoples idea Of smartness Is
to damage property, and this was the
case on Sunday night when the Cat

Park near the Spanish American
Veterans monument was taken from
its location and dumped into the hole
which had been excavated for the

A Splendid Ticket.

Various interpretations are put upon
the effect Of the weather on Monday
voting. It is quite probable that the
country vote was reduced because Of a
fine day following the long spell Of dull
weather and heavy rains, and, conse-
quent delay in all kinds Of farm work.
Perhaps some candidates were ad-
versely affected by these conditions
but it is not for US to decide. In spite
of the weather, and in spite Of the
numerous contests for nomination in
the Republican party. it was quite i'm
possible to select ticket that was dis
appointing to the public, ticket that
could not be heartily and consistently
supported in September. Perhaps that
fact had something to do with yester-
days primary showing. In the Demo-
cratic party there being no contest for
L. S. Senator or governor, and few
on county tickets, the vote might have
been expected small.
But the Kennebec Journal is proud
to support the Republican nominees of
Monday. The apparent nomination
Of Col Frederic Hale for United
States senator, and Of Hon. Carl E.
Milliken for Governor, is highly
satisfactory to us. The same is true
down through the list. We are proud
Of the men named for Republicans to
support this year, from Judge Charles
Evans Hughes for President. down. 1t
will be easy for us to write good words
for them and to defend them against
all corners.
Those men who went to the polls and
voted for men who were not nominated
should not be deeply disappointed, for
good men have been named-and
whatever is is best" Those who
failed to vote should have nothing to
say, for they have forfeited the right
to disapprove Of any nominee.
Most of us received SOME surprises,
and some candidates and their friends
HAD to be disappointed. Today we
are all Republicans, as we were yes
terday; let us, then, swallow our little
disappontments and work Loyalty for
the men whom the greater number Of
our party prefer. We might have pre-
ferred some of the others before the
primaries but these men are all honest,
able men, good fellows, then let us be
good sports" and stand Loyalty by
them and elect them by good old
fashioned majorities.
Yesterday II was our duty to go to
the POLLS today it is our duty to man
fully accept the results and swallow
whatever disappointments we may
have suffered in 9 personal c.,o.co
from groups of good men,
So far as this newspaper is con-
cerned, we have no regrets. We re-
fused to consider one aspirant over
another for they all looked good to
us Now we are satisfied and antici-
pate real pleasure in their support.
With the polls closing at P. M. and
necessarily slow progress of the count,

the surprising combinations. it is a

Fl PASO TROOPS ID
 TAKEPART IN PARADE.
To Convince People That Military Is in Sufficient
 Force on Border

El Paso, June 4.-Troops stationed at Fort Bliss and neighboring points will participate in the parade here Wednesday flor those interested in the welfare of Fl Paso," according to an announcement by General Bell, com- handing officer, tonight, with a view of convincing the people that the mil : itary force is fully competent to meet any eventuality.
 General Bell said: "No trouble is an- ticipated but so many citizens have of- fered their services to the commanding general of the El Paso district in case of riots or outside trouble that it is believed necessary to call attention to the fact that the United States troops in this district are fully competent without any assistance other than that afforded by your municipal and state authorities to meet any contingency that may occur within the city or out side, or in both places
 "The only assistance desired and ex- pected from individuals is that in case of rioting or other disturbances neces- sitating the use of military, each indi- vidual excepting doctors and clergy men in the discharge of their duties. will keep off the streets and will re- main at home or at his place of busi- ness during the disturbance"
 General Bell added that in ease of trouble all armed civilians would be disarmed and treated with suspicion.
 General Bell said later that the rea- son for his statement was that he has been constantly besieged by queries from persons who feared Mexican at- tackS

 HEAVY PRESSURE

earlier battles on the Ypres salient, when the Germans threw three or four shells to one,'' said an officer. 'The British guns returned equal volumes on the Germans after they were in our trenches
 Under support of gunfire the Canadian battalions which include many Ameri- cans, maintaining the traditions of the first contingent last year at St. Julien, immediately turned on the Germans in a series of counter-attacks. They fought the night and were engaged all Saturday doggedly bombarding their way back to the possession of the posi- tion which they had lost. Parties rushed in at different points, bombing and bayo- netting right and left, and before their fierce work was ended they had regained all but a few yards.
 The German advance had been made over a front of 5000 yards from Ypres- Confines railway to Hooge- Point. This was the most extensive front of any re- cent attack, and the Canadians respond ed to the test coolly and skilfully. In the Hooge sector the German attack was stopped with heavy loss
 The perplexity over the first news of the battle between the British and the German fleets has been succeeded by satisfa ction as fuller accounts are re- ceived.

Scores of Members Have Left for Chi cago and Will Go to St. Louis. Attendance Will Be Smallest

Washington, June 4.-Under an agree lives to attend the national political con- ventions, Congress will do little but mark time during the coming two weeks. The Senate will not meet until Thursday, and then only to recess after complying with the constitutional provision limiting re- cess periods. While the House will con- tinue it's daily sessions, only routine busi- ness will be considered and the proceed ings will be virtually on an. unanimous consent basis.
 Scores of members of both houses al- ready have left for Chicago and enough more probably will go to St. Louis later in the week to reduce attendance at the capitol to the smallest percentage it has reached during any session of Congress for several years. Speaker Clark, Demo- cratic Leader Kitchin and Republican Leader Mann. however, have announced their intention of remaining here.
 MISCELLANEOUS BILLS
 The House will take up miscellaneous. unanimous consent bills tomorrow, includ- ing probably the conference report on the Oregon and California railroad land grant measure. Tuesday the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill will come up and after it is disposed of the pen sion and fertilization bills will be con sidered. It already is evident that some of the appropriation bills will fail to get past both houses by June 30 the end of the present fiscal year, and that joint resolution will have to be passed to ex- tend current appropriations.

He also stated that the letter had to be snug gied out of Turkey by personal friend of his who was leaving the country. The letter. which is somewhat difficult to decipher is in part as fol- lows:
