WOMEN Fight THE TRUST.

The fight being made against Melvin
Hossler the local coal oil and gasoline
peddler, has proven rather disastrous
for the trust. says Chardon, o., special
to the Cincinnati Inquirer. The women
OF the town have taken up the cudgel
for Hossler, A committee of ladies to-
day canyassed the town and procured
promises Of every housewife not to &C
cept Standard oil even as a gift. while
number OF ladies accompanied the
Standard wagon on its rounds and per-
snaded prospective customers not to buy.
The Standard has had its wagon out
every day, but is only known to have
made four one gallon sales, although
Offering oil as low as two and three
cents, while Holsters sales have far ex-
ceeded the average at the regular price.
The women are determined to beat the
trust in this fight.

THE FIELD AGAINST McCREARY
In THE KENTUCKY RACE FOR
THE SENATORSHIP.

Frankfort, KY, December 16 The
impression that the Kentucky senator
ial race is still an open one is growing
as the time approaches for the voting
to begin, and a struggle of considerable
length in the Democratic caucus now
seems to be almost as certain as the
result is uncertain. Ex-Governor Nc
Creary's friends still claim that he will
have an easy victory. but the workers
for the other candidates insist that he
cannot get commanding lead from the
start, and give figures to prove their
assertions. For instance. they say it is
not disputed that Congressman Wheel.
er will get all the votes in his congress
sional district, with one exception, and
enough In the Second District and In
Louisville to give him a total of Is
votes ut the start. Congressman Smith
will get all the votes in the Fourth
Congressional District. rome in the Sec
ond and Third Districts and two or
three scattering votes that will 1t is
claimed bring his total up to q votes
Owing to the fact that ex Gov. Nc
Creary's home county adjourns the
Seventh District he will get two or
three votes in that district. which is
Judge Cantrill's home. but conceedlng
this, it Is confidently claimed that udge
Cantrill will get enough votes in other
districts to give him total of 10 on the
first ballot, This leaves IS votes for
McCreary, which is eight more than
Smith claims, but still Is votes short
of the 80 that is required to WIN. If
these figures are corr. CT it will be seen
that Smith and McCreary together will
receive nearly two thirds of the total
vote but is pertinent qudstion is how
McCreary will get the Is votes neces-
sarv to win out. Some one of the
weaker candidates will have to be drop
ped, but who will make the motion to
drop the hindmost man? Ii McCreary's
friends insist ON q resolution to drop
the weak candidate after a certain bal
lot it is natural that the friends of the
dropped man will then vote against
McCreary. Thus it can readily be seen
that the probability of long fight and
a possible deadlock in the caucus is
prabable.
1t has already been suggested that a
dark horse may yet win the prize.
