T.R, WON'T DINE WITH LORIMER Wouldn't Attend Banquet Unless Senator Was Excluded. CLUB WITHDRAWS INVITATION Former President Refuses to Associate With Men Accused of Election Brib ery In Illinois. Mr. Itoosevelt didn't mince mutters in his speech before the Hamilton club, of Chicago. Ho hi* out straight from the shoulder and told the men of Illinois that the four men who have been indicted for bribing tht legisla ture nnd the four who have confessed have committed a most infamous trea son against American institutions. The colonel told Chicago that they ought to be ashamed to allow men of corrupt leanings to represent thom in the legislature. Ho said that any sane minded man who had road the reports of the two district attorneys engaged in the Lorimer case could arrice at only one conclusion. He didn't mcu tior names, but he made himself cieur on every point. One of the important points that Colonel Roosevelt brought out wns tho fac't that it is not necessary to convict a man in a court ol' law to bo able to drive him out of public life. Law honesty isn't the only thing, he said. If you know he is crooked, cinch him. The people have power in elec tive offices, he declared. The admin istrative heads have the power of re moval from appointive offices. Mr. Roosevelt refui ed to sit at the same table with Lor mer. As soon as he heard that the Illinois senator, who has been in the limelight concerning brlbory charges of his election, was scheduled to appear at the Hamilton club dinner Mr. Roosevelt angrily de clared that In that case he wouldn't attend. He was very emphatic in his declarations, too. Members of the Hamilton club tried to dissuade Mr. Roosevelt from hasty judgment. A largo crowd pricked up their ears in order to catch every word. The colonel talked sufficiently loud for every one to hear. He had made up his mind and nothing on earth could change it.he said. Judge John H. Batten told Mr. Roosevelt that he would ask Senator Lorimer to withdraw, but the colonel would hear of no such thing. He in sisted that Lorimer be informed that Roosevelt had rofused to associate publicly with him and there wasn't room for tho two of them at the din ner. lie could do that or leave the colonel out of it. After a conference that was mighty brief, the Chicagoans decided to send this message to Senator Lorimer: "Colonel Roosevelt positively declines to sit at the samo table with you. Our Invitation to you is therefore with drawn." The colonel was satisfied when he saw this message and took occasion to reiterate his absolute refusal to have anything to do with Senator Lor imer. Three Die In Fire on Battleship. Tho North Dakota, one of the larg est and most powerful battleships of the United States navy, had a fire in her fuel oil system while in Hamp ton Roads, Va. Three coal passers of the flreroom crow were killed and eight other enllfltod men wore injured. The accident occurred during a test of the fuel oil apparatus under boiler No. 1, which is used to supplement tho coal supply. Tho oxact cause of tho flro has not been ascertained. En gineers officers of the department, however, believe thore was a leakage In the pipes and that the oil was ig nited by sparks from the furnace. The victims of the accident were removed to the hospital ship Solace. The ex tent of tho damago to the vessel has not been ascertained. The dead are: Joseph Schmidt, of Now York; Robert Qllmore, coal pas ser, of Newport, R. 1., and Joseph Strelt, enlisted at Grand Rapids, Mich. Tho accident to the oil fuel system of the North Dakota is the first of the kind that has occurred In the navy since oil as an nuxlllary fuel was in troduced a few years ago. Under the system in use In the navy tho oil is conducted through pipes to a settling tank, which is located In the flreroom. This tank Is for the purpose of allow ing tho water to be separated from the oil. From the settling tank the oil Is forced through pumps and then sprnyed on the live fire under tho boiler. The oil fuel enables a battle ship to get up steam faster than by the use of coal alone and also effect* an oconomy In the coal consumption. The Goods. Some folks are horn good, soino make good, and others are caught with the gondii.—Life. DEMOCRATS SWEEP MAINE Elect Plalsted Governor and Two Out of Four Congressmen ALSO CONTROL LEGISLATURE Republican Forces Were Completely Overwhelmed and Democrats Will Succeed Eugene Hale In United States Senate. Late returns received from Monday's State election in Maine emphasized the extent of the Democratic victory. Tho figures showed that besides electing Frederick W. Plaisted, Dem., of Augusta, to the governorship by about 8500 plurality, over Governor Bert M. Fernald, Itep., of Portland securing congressmen in the Second a:>d Third districts and a good ma jority in tho legislature, the Demo crats had a whole or part of thirteen out of sixteen count!'" 'or cour'.y officers. Control of the legislture gives the party the chance to elect the more im portant state officers, while Governor Plaisted will have the appointment of several justices and members of com missions. Complete returns give Asher C. lllnds. Rep., a plurality if 171 in the First disti'lct, where a recount may be held. Governor Fernald carried but three of the twenty cities in the r.tate. With 21 out of 31 state senators and Bti out of 151 representatives, the Demo crats control both branches of the legislature nnd are within 15 votes ot a two-thirds majority In joint conven tion. The Republicans have elected 03 representatives. The congressional results follow: Asher C. Hinds. Rep., elected in the First district by 174; Daniel J. McGll lleuddy, Dem., elected In the Second by 3000; Samuel W. Gould, Dem., elected in the Third by 11200; Frank E. Guernsey, Rep., elected In the Fourth by 300. Colonel Plaisted is mayor of Augus ta, Me., and, strangely enough, son of the man who was elected governor thirty years ago on a fusion Demo cratic-Groenback ticket. FREDERICK W. PLAISTED. Both branches of the legislature ■will be Democratic. This is the most Important and significant feature of the eloctlon, as It insures the election of a Democrat to succeed Eugene Hale In tho United States senate — something entirely unexpected by either party, and an unlooked for re sult for tho factional fight in the Re publican party that forced tho retire ment of Hale. For the first time since Its organization the Republican party has been routed completely In Maine. The result is a surprise not to say a shock to the Republican leaders who supported the Fernald administration, but causes much rejoicing among those Republicans who revolted against Fernald and what is known as "tho Rlcker crowd," meaning tho rich Rlckers, of Poland Springs, who two years ago put Fernald forward for gov ernor and who have since boen en gaged in building up an organization to combat "the old guard" and send Judge Frederick Powers to the United States senate in place of Eugone Hale. This rebellious faction of tho party contributed much to the triumph of the Democracy, while for the rest It is attributed to general disgust at polit ical abuses under prohibition and ex travagance instate expenditures dur ing Fernald's administration. HOW J. K. TENER STANDSATHOME Pen Picture ot Nominee For Governor by an'.dependent, NEIGHBORS STRONG FOR HIM Those Who Know Him Best Are Most Enthusiastic In Support of His Can didacy. A character study of John Kinlcy Tenor, and a pen picture ot scenes In the little t> wn of Charlerdf upon the occasion of the recent demonstration there in honor of the Republican nom inee for go»".;rnor, given by John O'Donne'l, eduor of the Uniontown Mori'" ig Herald, after witnessing the ova' ms, will interest the voters In all Beckons of the commonwealth. Mr. O'Donnell, who for more than twenty years was on the editorial staff of tne Pittsburg Dispatch, and who is recognized as one of the most inde pendent and versatile journalists in Pennsylvania, told In his own paper what he saw and heard in Charleroi. This is what ho wrote over his sig nature, J. O'D.": "The late James S. McKean, better known as 'Jim,' vas a politician, hank er and builder. He served a term as postmaster in Pittsburg. He was one Df the men who placed the big Union l'rust company, now prosperous and |iowerful, on the road to success. He was also one of the men who made the town of Charl jroi possible, and its main street Ins been named in his honor. Had there been no McKean, there would probably nave been n Oharloroi now, and no candidate to. governor of Pennsylvania by the name of John Klnley Tenor. And 1 believe 1 knew Jim McKean. "There are seven boys in the Tenor family, I think, and they all look alike. They are tall, erect, clear-eyed, clear skinned and cleanlimbed, with features which denote great keenness of mind and profiles that are Glbsonesque. Wallace Tenor, one of these boys, sat for a moment or two on the bnlcony of the Coyle theater. In Charleroi, on Saturday night, and watched the thou sands of tollers from the great Mo nongahela vnlley, with Toner banners aloft, march by to the stead) tread of martial music. Noting tho size, the enthusiasm and the character of tho pageant, with the keenness of percep tion peculiar to the Toner family, he also noted the spontaneity and sin cority of the demonstration And as he realized that It was all in bis broth er's honor, that It was a tribute to his worth as a man and an evidence of the affection in which he Is held by the thousands who know him, a tear dimmed Ills eye and he quietly arose as a mark of reverent acknowledg ment. "Just tl - >ii some one happened to mnke a re. ark befPting the occasion and Walter Tener broke tho silence of the moment. 'Away back several years ago,' said he, 'when the Uro horhood baso ball inovenn *it went up the spoet and John was out if work, the tender of a position in the bank down here came to him. I did not want him to take it; none of us did. We told him something would turn up soon, hiu h« said no; he would write out his ac ceptance that evening; he could not bear to bo idle another dny—he. had been out of work two weeks.' "That was all Wallace Tener said, but the Inference was obvious. At that time Charleroi was a village handi capped by the lack of opportunities characteristic of every small town, and the Toner boys feared that John K. would bury himself. "Yot today, at tho age of forty-soven, still In his youth and at the height of his vigor, John K. Toner has achieved success far and above the most hope ful dream* of himself and his broth FIRST NATIONAL BANK, HTJGHESVTLLE, IP-A.- CAPITAL STOCK $50,000 W C. FRONTZ President.

So much for the accident ot selection and his choice of Charleroi "With a friend of mine I took a walk along the principal streets of Charle-oi Saturday afternoon, for 1 wanted to look over the place that made possible the development of John K. Tenor. We passed stately business blocks, fine hotels, imposing hanks, splendid residences and the hundreds of homes of working men, noat, attractive, well kept homes. While all were tastefully decorate t there was yet another evidence of the deep esteem in which Toner is held by his friends and neighbors In the windows of little parlors, in the fes toons on the modest porches. In what ever conspicuous places were avail able, could he seen the pictures of the candidate. Regardless of racial, roli glous or political predilections the hornei' of the neoplo bore this hit of testimony to the deep regard for him who is known and loved hy every man, woman and child there. Hen ind there an aproned matron, in tustrio .s daugh ter or some other member of the household was engaged In displaying the lithograph, thus showing that John K Toner has a place In the homes as r»|| as the hearts of all th« people of fiis town.

Of all the happy hearts tn Charleroi Saturday night none were happier than those of Mr. and Mrs. Tener. Cultured, charming, witty and sensible, Mrs. Tenor is fitted to be come the ideal mistress of any execu tive mansion. A born politician and tactician, she is perfectly in every gathering, her graci<.'liVperson ality radiating cheer and good will in every direction. "Saturday's demonstration would prove an object lesson to many an other town. Charleroi knows neither political factions, re ligions. Its enthusaism and sympathies are never divided when It comes to conserving Its reputation. The unanim ity with which the rich and the poor, the master and the man.the merchant and his clerk went about the work of making the day a success was sub lime. Men who in business life do lit tle but give orders took them readily from men who usually receive them. When It came to pushing there was a place for ev*ery shoulder, and every shoulder was in its place. "Let no man think for a moment that John K. Toner is nny man's man. He may lack the spread-eagleism and the vociferousness characteristic of the average politician; he does not speak in measured periods; he does not gesticulate; he does not furnish funny stories instead of facts. On the contrary, ho takes bis candidacy seri ously. He '.mows full well the weight of its (lonsibility. In a word, his .imost aim is to make good. While ho knows thousands and calls them all by their first names, he makes no pre tensions to be'.ng considered a 'hail fellow well met.' His handshake in firm, yet without the hypocrisy of foigned heartiness. He has a clear eye and a direct look and a bearing which seems to say :'! know what uiy duty is and I will perform it; can I expect the same from you?'
