The Pins Tree State Deserts the |
Grand Old Party and Goes Over lo
the Democrats.
Maine went Democratic Monday. It
elected Frederick W. Plaisted. of Au
gusta a democrat, as governor; up
set tlie hitherto solid republican con
gressional delegation in at least two
aaa possibljTall lour “oT €ae districta
and to the surprise of the political
leaders, democratic as well as repub
lican. the returns indicated the prob
ability that the next state legisla
ture will bo democratic. The senate
will surely have a democratic major
ity, The hcruse complexion is In
doubt.
Returns from all but forty-elsht of
t’ae election districts of the state
showed a plurality for Plaisted Cor
igcnernor of 8,500.

Mr. Fe£thepgtcti^i*fe very radical
views of the liquor question and the
enforcement of the Ijquor laws wii.ii
respect to Charleston, expressed at
the campaign meeting prior to the
|fir£l primary, were very inimical to
his chances in that city.
The vote may be aa high as 110,-
000, and will probably pass the 105,-
000 mark the former record for stale
primares.

Texas and Oklahoma Unions Form
Plan to Transact Business Direct.
It was announced at Galveston by
the president of the Farmers’ Union
§t Texas and Oklpkhoina, that a deter
mined effort will be made this season
to eliminate the middleman in mar
keting cotton from that section. As
a result of the Galveston bankers ana
cotton dealers coming to the assist-
auqe of th^ cotton producers 'of Texas
and Oklahoma during the financial
troubles of 1907 and 1908, the Farm
ers’ tJnion contracted to handle the
cotton of its members through the
port of Galvestcn last season. This
was successfully accompiished and
tne contract has just been renewed
for another year.
Speaking of the matter. President
Loudermllk, of the union, said Gal
veston was selected because it is the
purpose of the unicii’s selling a^ncy
to brin^ ootton proau^Msrs directly hi
touch with the spinners and dealers,
thus cutting out th« middlemen, who
nrfi a tax alifie on the producer and
the spinier.

Don’t Break I>own.
Severe strains on the vital organs,
like straias on machinecy, cause
break-downs. You can’t overtax
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or
nerves without serious danger to
yourself. If you are weak or run
down, or under strain of any kind,
take Elictric the matchless^
tonic medicii! * M»-s. J. E. Van de
Sande, of Kikiaua 111., writes: “That
I did not break down, while enduring
a most sever strain, for three
months, is due wholly to Electric
Bitters.’’ Use them and enjoy
health and strength. Satisfaction
positively guaranteed. 50c. at Alli-
