It is announced thai plans, still indefinite, have been ninde to call the strikers in other branches of labor to the support of the traction men on the ground -that their right involves the main principle of organized ta bor, and their defeat would mean the beginning of a movement to break down labor unionism throughout the country through a medium of indi vidual contract.

One of the important matters to come be tore the convention is the report of the committee on rcsolu- t ions. K ANNAPOLIS ROAD TO BE FINISHED AT ONCE.

FrsnkliB Avenue Today Opened to Trifflc White Street Will Be Op ened Tonight and South Union Next Week. Paving work is progressing nicely in some sections of the city, while in others there has been delay on ac count of shortage of material and other causes. Franklin Avenue, from I'nion to Spring Street, was opened to traffic this morning. White Street, Grove to West De pot, is being completed today, and will Ik' o)cned tonight. On account of having to wait for the grouted brick to set up, work on the South I'nion section traversed by the car line, has been delayed for some time. However, the binder will be put on part of this street this af ternoon, and unless further delay oc curs it is planned to have this entire street open to the public by Wednes day. The concrete bed has been poured on part of Fast Depot street, but work has been suspended, awaiting the arrival of crushed stone. If the shipment has arrived by Monday morning, work will be resumed on this street. Curbing is being placed on Fast Corbin street, from the corner of South Church to the corporate lim its, and grading will be begun next week. On McGill street the sewer is be ing laid, which will he completed about the middle of the coming week, after which, grading will be com menced. On account of the difficulty in en tering and leaving the city because of the torn up condition of Fast De pot street, and the anticipated tear ing up of Fast Corbin street, two new streets have been opened up. The first of these is called Brumley street, which parallels and is on the north side of Fast Depot, running through the Reed Pasture. The other new street has no nnme, but leaves South Church at the resi dence of Mrs. Sophia Foil, running on the north side of. and almost par allel with South Church and Fast Corbin streets, and entering Corbin near the Widenhouse gin. Tt is thought that Brumley street ill remain a permanent street of the city, and since IF.ast Dejwt street is the only one entering the -city from that section of the county it seems that there is a necessity for this new- no. The same necessity appears for the new street to relieve Corbin and South Church, since practically all the eastern part of the county comes on the Mount Pleasant and Gold Hill roads, entering the city on Cor- in street.

The Campaign Was Fought Out Almost Entirely On National Issues. Mains Has Not Gone Democratic in a Presiden tial Tear Since 1852, Until 4 Years Ago, When Wilson Carried It. (Br The Associated Press) Augusta, Me., Sept. 9. First of tin States to hold an election this year. Maine, will ballot on Monday, watch ed by the country as a possible barom eter of political conditions. Will l lit- results be indicative of Democratic or Hcpubl can triumph in the approach ing presidential election? Politicians throughout the country have their eyes on the Pine Tree State aud will watch eagerly for the returns next Monday evening after some 1-IO.OiHI voters have cast their ballots for gov ernor and other State officers, two United States Senators, four Repre sentatives in Congress and numerous county and local officials. I lie campaign that closed today litis been the most spirited and the most spectacular that any living politician in Maine can remember. Hie uepub- lican national campa gn committee sent its ablest orators into the State, with Charles E. Hughes, nominee for 'resident, heading the list. The Deiu- crats -met the Republican drive with a campaign of eiptnl velocity and completeness, in winch several mem bers of President Wilson's cabinet, several Democratic govenors and a score of United States senators and representatives took part. In a campaign fought almost en tirely on national issues, the Demo crats at asking for indorsement of President's Wilson's administration. State affairs have figured but little, except for the ever present subject of prohibition, and liipior law enfor cement. The Democrats are con centrating their energies cliiclly in an endeavor to have Senator Charles F. Johnson, who originally was elec ted bv the 1910 legislature, which happened to be Democratic, relumed to the senate and to le-elect Con gressman Daniel F. McGillicuddy, the only Democrat among the four representatives of Maine. They are also confident of re-electing Govern or Oakley C. Curtis and are hopeful of winning in the contest for the second I'nited States senatorship to fill the vacancy caused by the deatl f Senator Burleigh. Their candid te for this place is Kenneth C. M. Sills, dean of Bowdoin College. The Republicans are making claims f a complete sweep all along the line. heir confidence being based largely upon the belief that, with the Prn- ressives out ot the held, the He- puhlieans should roll up something ike their old-time pluralities, l in- Republican candidate in opposition Senator Johnson is ( olonel rrcd- erick Hale, Republican national com mitteeman for Maine, and son oi former Senator Eugene Hale, for the second senatorship the Kepubli- an nominee is former Governor I Serf N. Femald. The Republican State ticket is headed by Carl K. Millike:;. who ia :i9. and the youngest man who ever ran for governor in tin State of Maine. In the Second con gressionnl district, now represented bv McGillicuddv, the Republican have named Wallace White, who is a grandson of another of Maine s dis tinguished representatives in the senate, the late William P. Frye. Tf Maine should go Republican on Monday, no one would have reason to feel much surprised. Tn doing so Maine would be merely following its natural bent. It has not gone Dem ocratie in a presidential year since 1852, although it came near doing so in the year Garfield ran, until four years ago. when the Progressive split resulted in a Democratic vie torv. The Republicans this year claim that nine tenths of the Pn gressives have returned to the Re publican ranks. Tf the Kepuhlican candidates Tor United States senator should be elec ted and should make a stronger showing at the polls than the Re miblican candidate for governor, th national leaders of the party vi naturally insist that the vote for United States senator disclosed real sentiment of the people of Maine on national issues. The two Republi can candidates for senator, however, must command majorities of consid erablo size in order to gire the clec THE GERMANS'AND TURKS i AGAINST RUSSIAN FORCED WITH THE CHURCHES.
