House Republicans


Many surprises We're sprang last night
In the House of Representatives when the
Republican representatives-elect met at
7.30 and nominated their slate which will
be voted upon when the 18th Legislature
formally meets today. The great hall
was packed to overlooking and the gal
leries were also filed, there being a large
delegation of ladies present. The sur
prise of the evening came when in a con-
test between Percival P. Baxter Of Port
land and William l.. Bonney of Bowdoh-
ham for the speakership of the House
Mr.. Bonney was elected by q votes over
his opponent, the vote standing 65 for
Bonney to 3S for Baxter
There was some comedy during the eve
ming while the voting was taking place.
When the representatives from SaSada-
hoe were called. the county being enti-
tied to one vote, Mr. Bonney passeo
down the aisle to cast his ballot for as
sistant clerk of the House, he was given
an ovation, which he smillngly acknowI-
edged.
Many of the nominations were by accla-
nation and unanimous election resulted.
The caucus was called to order shortly
after 40 by Rep. Aaron B. Cole of Ello,
and he was unanimously nominated for
temporary chairman of the convention.
Clarence w. Dutton of Bingham was
unanimously nominated for temporary
secretary. Upon roll call 100 answered to
their names, but three more came in be-
fore the voting began.
E. F. Classon of Lisbon presented the
name of Mr.. Bonney for Speaker and E.
w. Ellis OF Gardiner seconded the nomi-
nation.
Rep. Geo. A. Allan of Portland then
presented the name of Mr.. Baxter and
made speech in which he told who
Mr.. Baxter was and why he was es-
pecialy fitted for this position and
said Cumberland county was solidly
behind Mr.. Baxter. "a gentleman from
my own city" was the way Mr.. Allan
began his speech.
The nomination was seconded by
Judge Freeman d. Death of Dexter.
who said the Penobscot county dele
cation was solidly behind Mr.. Baxter
and by Fulton J. Redman of Ellsworth.
1t was moved by Emery c. Wilson
of Portland that the vote be taken by
counties and the Chair appointed as
tellers Messrs. Rounds of Portland,
Hanson of Saco, Phillips of Southwest
Harbor, Death of Dexter and Nichols
of Eastport. The vote was announced
as follows: Whole number OF votes

Railroads VIII Ship More Than In Any
Previous Year.
Reports just compiled for the rail-
roads war board indicate that unless
something unforeseen occurs the
amount Of anthracite coal transported
by the railroads this yenr will exceed
the tonnage Of any previous year BY
considerable amount.
According to the reports which show
the operation of the nine anthracite
railroads, the aggregate anthracite
tonnage transported by these roads
during the eight-months' period end
Ing August 81 of this year was 7'66s,-
3S2 tons more than In the same period
last year, an increase Of 17.1S per
cent.
To produce this increase the a.thrs-
cite ronds carried 0 gross tonnage OF
52,291, ,445 tons for the nine months. as
against 4fe23,083 tons for the first
eight months Of 1915.
The Increase for the month Of Au-
gust alone this year over August, 1915,
was 1,5S3609 tons, or 2SS5 per cent.
The July Increase was 24.88 per cent
and the June Increase 25.24 per cent.
These figures indicate that recent
reports to the effect that there has
been a severe curtailment In the pro-
duction and distribution Of anthracite
coal are based upon rumor rather than
facts. e.

"wlLD FIRE" IN TOBACCO
New Disease Worrying Virginia and
Carolina Growers.


A new tobacco disease has appeared
in certain sections of Virginia and
North Carolina, according to DR.. r. A.
Wolf of the North Carolina experiment
station, and because Of Its destructive
ness is the cause Of much concern to
the tobacco growers.
The disease was present In some
places last year. but did not attract
much attention because It was not
widespread. The disease spreads very
rapidly during rainy weather and has
been appropriately given the name OF
"wild fire."
"Wild FIRE" has been found to be due
to a germ or bacterium. Three days of.
ter healthy plants are inoculated with
these germs they show yellow spots
marking the beginning Of the disease.
In some sections the idea Is pretty. gen.
orally held that fertilizer of one brand
or another, or one proportion or an
other, were the cause Of wild fire." In
others 1t is said to be due to weather
conditions, to the prevalence Of insects,
etc.
Judging from knowledge Of other
germ diseases, experts are confident
that nothing can be done to check the
disease In the field. Since 1t started in
the plant beds, 1t may be possible to
prevent It there. In order to deter
mine this, studies are being made Of
the origin of the disease and Its means
Of spread and 1t is planned to put o
complete report In the hands of to-
bacco growers before next planting
season.

as follows: ~. -'A.,..., q p,

more than that amount for any such
license, or who shall receive a bride
for the same, shall be liable to fine
not exceeding fifty dollars, upon con
viction before any district magistrate.
