Bullhghting. to Be
Revived in Mexico

Mexico City. Oct. 9--By Mail)-
The worlds best matadores have
signed contracts to appear here dur
ing the bullfghting season now in
progress. Fifty-one Spanish bulls al
ready are in the stockades near
Mexico City.
Much local interest is attached to
the return of Vicente Segura. the
millionaire bullfighter,' who ten
years ago was popular idol. ,Segura.
who always has been wealthy and
took up bullfighting for the pleasure
of it, has announced that two months
training has made him physically fit
and he has been chosen to open the
season.
One of the greatest contests in the
history of bullhghting is expected to
be staged during the Christmas holi-
days when Rudolfo Gaona. Juan Bel
monte and Sanchez Mejias appear on
the same bill. These fighters are re-
garded as the topnotchers in the
game and in addition there is intense
professional jealousy which doubtless
will provide many thriller for the
spectators.
The Mexico City bull ring seats
$4,000 with accommodations for 5000
more IL they care to stand.

MAY BE NO PRIMARY
IN THIRD DISTRICT
SPECIAL ELECTION

While it was at first thought that
Congress would necessitate a special
primary as well as special election,
this may not be so. Such was not the
course followed in 1916 when Con-
gresham Guernsey of the fourth dis
trict resigned to enter the special
primary against Senator Fernald for
the senatorial nomination. At that
time a special primary was not held
in the fourth district. but instead
there was a special district conven-
ton in Bangor 1t was at this special
convention of delegates from all
parts of the district that Congress-
man Ira Jersey was nominated.
Should this course be followed in
the present instance the convention
would probably be held in this city,
although some of the old third dis
trict conventions were held at Wa
terville. Such a convention would,
unquestionably prove, much interest
and, if all the possible candidates
mentioned get in, a lively one.
1t is rather interesting to note that
Mr. Peters was nominated in spe-
cial convention and elected at spe
cial election. These were made nee
cssary by the death of Congressman
Forrest Goodwin. Of Skowhcgan.
Kenncbec Republicans also expect
that Waldo county will put forward
candidate in the person of H. c. Buz-
zell of Belfast, and they will not be
surprised to hear of an early an
nouncement by him.
For a number of years Mr.. BuZZell
has been active in Republican politics
in that county and has represented
Belfast in the Maine House of Repre-
sentatives at the last three sessions,
having been floor leader for his party
the present year. There has been
rumor, heretofore, that he contem-
plated returning to the house in 1928
time being a candidate for the speak,
crship, He has never announced such
a program. but it has been one of
the current bits Of political gossip
throughout the State. Now. so it is
said here, he is likely to Shift and
try for congress. In this connection
it is pointed out that he has nothing
to lose and much to gain. If defeated
in a special primary at this time he
could still be seeker for the return
election to the Maine house and make
his campaign for the speakership.
The last congressman from Waldo
county was Seth Milliken. who was
succeeded by Congressman Burleigh.
Somerset county provided the next
two members of the National House
from the third Maine district. Hon.
Samuel w. Gould. DEM, defeated Mr..
Burleigh in 1910. and was defeated in
turn in 1912 by his fellow townsman,
Hon. Forrest Goodwin. rep, who died
in office. SO that it has been many
years since Waldo has had congress-
ional honors and some Of her citizens

On Monday a new system was vot-
ed for adoption in the military classes.
The classes are now divided into sec

other sections. On Monday those
who had had military training of any
sort were placed in the first section
under Capt. Adams. The division ac-
cording to ability will begin next
week. Habitual placement in the last
section means failure to pass the
course.
