LAST week PRIMARY CAMPAIGN
With LITTLE INTEREST Manifest
IN Governor, SENATOR RACES

Portland, Me, June 11.-As the
campaign for the State primaries on
June 10 enters its final week the APP
parent apathetic attitude of the vot-
ers continues. Although there are
three-sided contests for the Rcpubli-
can nominations for United States SEN
ator and governor, the candidates. for
some of the county offices seem to
arouse more local interest than those
for the higher places.
Congressman Beedy, White. Nelson
and Hersey, Names Republican repre-
sentation, will be rcnominated without
opposition. The Democrats have prac-
tically no contests.
Senator Frederick Hale of this city,
whose first term expires next March,
has for opponents former Congressman
Frank E. Guernsey of Dover-Foxcroft.
who two years ago declined the gu
bernatorial nomination to conduct his
fight for the senatorship and former
State Senator Howard Davies of Var
mouth, who was drafted" several
weeks ago by representatives. of labor
organizations who circulated nominal
ton papers for him.
Governor PerciVal p. Baxter of this
city, who as president of the Senate
automatically became acting governor
upon the death of Frederic II. Park
hurst soon after his Inauguration, eX-
poets to be nominated for a second
term of two years under party usage.
He is opposed by Judge John Percy
Decring of Saco. who ran a close sec
ond to the late Governor Parkhurst in
a four-sded contest for nomination,
and by Leon L. Higgins of Brewer,
who like Judge Deering has been
prominently identified with public af-
fairs as member of previous leg:sla
lures.
Except Senator Hale. who has felt
obliged to remain in Washington and
confinc his efforts almost wholly to
letter writing, making his plea for re-
nomination on his record of service,
the candidates for senator and gov
ernor have conducted a personal cam
paign. some extending it into every
section Of the State.

liz employees of the Lonsdale mills

BIG WHEEL CRUMPLES

New York, June 1.-THE fury of the
electrical storm that swept New York
late today destroying property and
life, broke suddenly over a little
amusement park at Clason's Point,
the Bronx, dashed into a ferris wheel
crowded with young people, crushed
it to the ground and passed on, leav-
ing six dead and more than 40 in
jured.
Shrieks Of mirth broke from the
steel cars Of the wheel as it carried
its cargo of youth high up into the
breezes. Then the storm, and mad
dened cries of fear and agony as the
upper half broke away and was car
ried by the winds into the shallow
waters of Long Island Sound. The
lower half buckled and fell, twisted
mass of steel, wooden Orders and
human bodies.
Then a panic among the hundreds
of men, women and children in the
resort. Amid the lightning and thun-
der and the torrents of rain, women
tainted, men fought and children were
brushed aside in frantic efforts to
reach shelter and to lose sight of the
CHASTITY pile that so shortly before
had been q wheel of merriment.
But many rushed to the wreck and
worked madly to eXtricate the bodies
of the living and the dying and the
dead. Efforts We're made to telephone

Temps Scores
Bankers in Failure
to Fix on German Loan

Paris, June 11.-(By A. P.)-The
unfavorable reception given the re-
port of the international bankers on
the question of advancing money to
Germany, reached it's climax in an
editorial in the Temps, which ar
ralgns the work of the bankers as
"a complete failure" 1t says the re-
port tries to throw upon France the
onus of the failure of the bankers.
The Temps complains that the
committee declares the loan was i'm
possible without a reduction in Ger
man rcparations," but it does mot
dare add that a reduction in the
German debt was made impossible by
the maintenance of the American
debt"
In fact" the Temps continues,
the committee does not hesitate to
reach conclusion that reflects upon
France, but it takes good care not
to reach the conclusion, which in
separable from 1t, but which would
reflect upon the United States. 1t
pretends to aim at the French, when
it knows very well it's blow should
1all on the Americans. It is a tactic
that lacks grandeur. Shall one say
that the committee of bankers can
not expose itself to disoblige the
United States, which holds so much
gold?"

New York;. June 11.-(By A. P.)-
Continued. indications Of Industrial i'm

ny as to crop conditions are the fea-
lures in business and finance of the
past week. Commodity prices still
show a f1rmer tone, retail trade is
about what might be expected at this
time of year, and the labor situation
shows no decided change. Altogether
the picture continues to be one of grad
