THE COERCION CLUES
NO DOUBT OF THE GENUINENESS
OF THE CIRCULAR
Organized Among Santa Fe Employees
as Well as Southern Pacifc-Ir-
resistible Persuasiveness

The railway companies are forming their
cohorts for the aid Of the Republican
ticket and are doing 1t along the same lines
that they pursued during the Mckinley
Hanna contest of two years ago. The CIR
cular addressed to railway employees by the
| Associated Railway Employees Political
clubs OF Oakland, San Francisco, Sacra-
mento and Los Angeles" was published In
the Herald Of yesterday. This circular had
been denounced by the Express as having
been sent out by the Democratic state CEN
trail committee as blind, but this assump-
tion is not at all based on fact.
George Stafford, president of the Califor-
mia Truck company, was asked about the
matter yesterday, as he was said to have
some detailed knowledge Of 1t. This, how
ever, he denied, but he did say that as far
as he knew the circular was genuine; that
lit was circulated in the same way that
similar documents had been in the last
presidential campaign.
From other sources it was ascertained
that the circular is genuine beyond any
question and that such clubs have been
formed quite generally. The inference, how
ever, does not follow that the members will
vote the Republican ticket. The men are
naturally averSe to mourning the Olspleas-
ure of their superior officers by refusing
to join such organizations. but they will
vote as they please when they get into the
tin booth on election day.
The supposition has been that the South
ern Pacific company was alone in this work
of trying to herd its meu into the Repub-
lican corral, but 1t was learned yesterday
from excellent authority that the Santa Fe
company had adopted the same plan OF
campaign and that its employees had been
| "requesttd" by their superior officers to
form such clubs.
1t is admitted among railway men that
the membership of these associations has
already assumed large proportions and that
those who hesitated at first are yielding to
the "persuasIons'' Of the railway bosses. SO
that 1t Is now estimated that q large ma
jority of railway men have signed the
| rolls. 1t is true that no tangible appearance
of bulldozng or threats has been used to
make the men join; but 1t has been made
very evident to them that If they do not
they will not be regarded with very great
favor.

SONS OF VETERANS
Politics Are Hot and a Slate II
Prepared

OMAHA, Sept. 13.-PoIitics Of the order
seems to be engrossing the attention OF the
delegates of the encampment of the Sons OF
Veterans. Last night number of caucuses
were held which did not adjourn until early
this morning. The result Is the formation
of slate which practically arrays the east
against the west. The west received the
office Of command sr-in-chief, Lieutenant
Governor Jones of Ohio, seeing that he
would run a chance of defeat, tied up With
Colonel Frank Shepard Of Illinois. The lat
ter will probably be elected, although Ober-
dorff Of New York has not yet retired from
the race. In return for this the west Is ex-
pected to allow Cincinnati to be selected for
the next encampment and to countenance
the slection of Adjutant-General Bolton as
quartermaster general. Both propositions
will be hotly contested, for Denver Is after
the location and Kansas has strong can
didate for quartermaster general In the
person Of G. Borin Of Oberlin.
George K. Cox Of Cincinnati will probably
be elected senior vice commander-in- chief,
and Frank ]. Coates Of Nebraska, junior
vice commander. The east also wants the
quartermaster's department transferred
from Chicago to Boston and this will re-
suit In fight.

ney contended 1t was beyond the power of
congress to prohibit the making of oral
contracts in the state. He also averred the
tax imposed was not uniform and was
therefore unconstitutional. He said fur
ther that II oats and other products were
taxed on the board Of trade, these articles
should also be taxed on a farm. General
Black, United States attorney, replied to
the arguments. Judge Showalter took the
