South Georgia candidate, above all

Will Establish state Headquarters
and Get a Move on Themselves.
Columbus, o., Jan. 16.--At a confer
ence of the Democratic State Central
Committee with prominent party lead
ers held here to-day it was decided to
establish permanent state headquarters
in Columbus in charge of a salaried
secretary, and to push the work of the
party more vigorously in future cam
psigns
There was a very general sentiment
that the party ought to get together
and organize more vigorous campaigns.
Mayor Johnson of Cleveland and
former Congressman Lentz favored the
immediate adoption of a declaration of
principles. The former advocated a
declaration for tax reforms and the
latter thought Scent fares on street
railroads and municipal ownership
ought also to be advocated. The con-
sensus of opinion, however, was against
any Immediate action, and the matter
went over.

Gov. Stone Says They VIII BE Kept In
Coal Regions AS Long As Needed.
Harrisburg, Pa, Oct 22 The
troops will be kept in the coal regions
just as long as there is any necessity
for II, said Governor Stone last night,
when asked when the Pennsylvania
National Guard will be recalled from
the strike territory.
The governor said he could not flk
any arbitrary date for the recall of the
troops, and that the generals who are
on the ground will be the best judges
of when it may be safe TO begin the
movement of troops homeward. He
also said that the troops will not all
be recalled at the same time but that
the withdrawal win be gradual.
The governor began making prep
arations for the taking of the vote at
the November election should the
troops be kept in the strike region that
long. AT least some of the commands
are likely to be in the field on election
day, and the appointment of election
commissioners will be necessary for
some of the regiments.
