The general elections held in many
states yesterday apparently broke
more fayorably for the democrats
than for the republicans. There
have been some notable democratic
victories. and democratic gains pretty
generally In many states the vote
is very close, so that it is impossible
as yet TO give an accurate analysis.
New York state has gone overwhelm-
ingly democratic. New Jersey also
seems to have elected Edwards, the
"wet'' candidate, for governor.
Senator Lodge, republican, is APP
parently elected in Massachusetts by
a narrow margin. New Hampshire
is close, but with indications point
ing to the election of a democratic
governor and one democratic con-
gresham. There may be some grains
of comfort for republicans in later re-
turns, hut just now they are scarce.
-O-
The politicians are getting a little
uneasy in their scheme to kill the di-
rect primary, in view of the opposi-
ton developing, especially among the
women voters. The resourceful Pat
tangall, the big chief" of the demo-
cratic party in Maine, seeming an op-
portunity to propitiate the ladies, is
the first to suggest a compromise. In
an address before the local league of
women voters at Augusta last week,
MIR. Pattangall suggested COM
promise in the shape of a convention
system with a referendum tail at
tached If YOU don't like the nomi-
nations made by the convention, pull
the tail. You can fool all of the
people some of the time, some of the
people all of the time, but you can't
fool all the people all the time" Mr..
Pattangall's compromise plan is a
tacit admission that the conventions
are controlled by the political bosses,
for if the convention is truly repre-
sentative of the people, as the po-
liticians would have you believe, why
appeal from the convention to the
people?

OBITUARY
MRS. CHARLES P. DORR,


Elvira Evelyn, widow of Capt,
Charles P. Dorr, formerly of Ellis
worth, died Tuesday, Oct. 81, at the
home of her brother-in-law, w. G.
Dorr, in Readville, Mass, where she
had been tenderly cared for since
leaving Ellsworth last April. Her
daughters, Mrs. Evelyn D. Braymer,
of Seattle, Wash, and Mrs. Bernice
d. Potter, of Canton, O., were with
her the last few weeks.
Mrs. Dorr had been in delicate
health for some time, and never re-
covered from the shock of her hus-
bands sudden death on August 20,
1921. The end came peacefully, and
without suffering During her long
residence in Ellsworth, Mrs. Dorr
made many friends who are sad
dened by her death. She was es-
sentially a home maker, and is re-
membered for many kind acts.
Mrs. Dorr was a daughter of the
late Phineas Emerson and Elvira
Peabody (Lake) Haywood of Bucks
port, but the greater part of her mar
ried life had been spent in ELS
worth, where her husband held the
Office of register of probate of the
county for many years. She was in
the seventy-sixth year of her age.
Beside the two daughters men
toned, she leaves one brother,
Charles L. Haywood, of Topeka, Kan.
Services were held at the home of
w. c. Dorr in Readville Thursday,
and the body was brought to Bucks
port for interment beside her hus-
band in the Haywood lot
H. WILBERT NEVELLS.
The sudden death of H. Wilbert
Nevells on Thursday last was shock
to his family and many friends in
Ellsworth and vicinity. Mr.. Nevells
had been severe sufferer from asth-
ma for years, but fought heroically
against it, working when others
would have been Frustrated. On
Thursday morning he went to the
fire house, but returned home about
9 o'clock, suffering more severe
attack than usual. A physician was
called and gave him relief, but at
noon Mr.. Nevells' heart suddenly
failed, and he passed away.
w III 1NCNcllS, DIS Ac Wdo huOWu
to everyone, was born in Sedgwick
fifty-seven years ago. About thirty
five years ago he came to Ellsworth,
and year later married Miss Nellie
Trueworthy of this city Ellsworth
had ever since been his home. He
had worked for many years as
teamster, for the past few years be-
ing employed in that capacity by the
city. He was an Industrious citizen,
devoted to his family The sympa-
thy of the community goes out to the
wife, who is much of an invalid, and
to the one daughter, Miss Hazel A.
Nevells.
The funeral was held at the home
Saturday afternoon, Rev. Clarence
Emery officiating. There was a
large attendance of friends, and
many beautiful flowers. Interment
was at Birch Grove cemetery, West
Ellsworth.

CHILD ABLE TO BEND
,THICI BAR OF STEEL
WITH LITTLE FINGER

The ST. ding phenomena that
small child. with the slight pres
sure Of h. } little finger, can bend
a solid steel bar inches in dia-
meter. is one of the latest dis
coveries of the bureau of stand
ards, according to scientists there.
Not only that. but the strain that
a child can put on such a rigid
piece of metal can now be meas
ured by a simple-looking piece Of
apparatus that has recently been
developed in the bureau to facili-
tate the practical actual measure
ment of very slight movements.
The machinery used in the dem
onstration of this seemingly i'm
possible experiment, consists chief
ly of series of mirrors, one at
tached to the steel bar and the
others stationery. Light is thrown
onto one of these by a helium
lamp and the resultant interfer-
ence of light waves is seen
through an eyepiece in the form
of series. of white and black
rings. When the steel bar is bent
even a hairs breadth the rings
move and so can be measured.
