The fact that there are only 10000 nom
union men at work and that 10000 OF the
striking miners have left the region or gone
into other employment and will never re-
turn to the mines, and the further fact
that the collieries will be operated to their
fullest capacity, is certain to prevent any
possibility of a conflict arising between
union and nonunion men, because of the
one crowding out the other. 1t can be ex-

INDIAyA,s JUNIOR SENATOR SPEAKS

Discusses the Evils of Grasping Cor
porations and Says They VIII BE
Purged by Republicans.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Oct. ga meet

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Oct. ia meet
ing addressed by Senator Albert j. Bever-
idge, of Indiana, and presided
over by Senator Plat. of Con-
necticut, opened the Republican
compaign here to-day. Senator Beverage
spoke chiefly on trusts and pledged the
administration to purge them OF the evils
which are not being removed by natural
causes. The evils he complained of are
the raising of prices to the consumer, the
reduction of wages and overcapitaliza-
ton. Even these he said, 'are being
operated upon by forces outside of legisla-
tion." He spoke particularly of organized
labor, which he said is curing the second
evil. His invocation, more power to the
arm of organized labor" was cheered loud
ly.
Senator Beveridge made only passing
reference to the coal strike, speaking of 1t
as one of the problems successfully solved
by Republican President.

THE NEGRO QUESTION.
Views Of South Carolina's Republican
National Committeeman.

CHARLESTON, s. c., Oct. 16.-In view Of
the action Of the Republican party In Ala
bama and North Carolina on the negro
question and the holding of Republican
conventions this week In the congressional
districts in this State, Capt. John q. Ca
pers, United States district attorney and
Republican national committeeman, was
asked to-day what was the position of the
Republican party in this State on the negro
question. He said: 1.-The organization and
operation of political parties upon purely
racial classification is 70 my mind wholly
inconsistent with the spirit of our govern
ment: requiring. our government does,
well-defined duties and responsibilities from
all of its citizens. In the exercise of citi-
zenship when the negro asserts a right and
demonstrates that it rests upon intelligence
and character, rather than upon race pref
udice fancied and unearned distinction,
his rights should be respected as an Amer
lean citizen regardless Of his color. In poll
tics the negro's trouble In the South comes
in a large measure from the advice he re-
ceives from his Northern colored brother,
who ruins the effect of a protest against
a white mans party in the South by a prac-
teal demand for black mans party.
There is no good reason why the Repub-
lican party in the South should be all white
and there is every reason why it should not
be all black"

REGISTRATIONS a FARCE.
Porto Rican Federals Are Alleged to
Have Been Shut Out.

SAN JUAN. p. r., Oct. 1.-THE election
registrations have been a complete farce.
The Federals were shut out In a majority
of the precincts of the islands, due to an
order of the executive council placing
majority OF Republicans on each board.
At Viques eight insular policemen guarded
the booth. no Federals were admitted and
none registered. In many towns there have
been no Federal registrations. and In con-
sequence in several towns. in addition to
Cayaye. the Federals formally retired from
the elections in order to remedy this. The
supervisor Of elections allowed an extra
registration day. yesterday. but with the
same result. Although instruction were
wired to all precincts to protect the rights
of the Federals. they were uniformly dis
regarded. Wherever Federals attempted to
register there was more or less disorder.
Shooting affairs occurred at Aguidilla,
Corozol. Vieques and Mayaguez. Some per-
sons were wounded, but there were no ia
talities. Wholesale arrests of Federals
were made and thousands OF protests and
charges have been filed.

Out-of-Town Crowds.

Many out-of-town people attended the
carnival yesterday and last night there was
a big crowd at the Union Station to catch
the outgoing trains. There was no jam.
but the station and sheds were well filled.
Perhaps 5000 or 1900 people left the city,
some of whom came early in the week. The
interurban lines, however, carried the big
gest crowds, as most people from surround
ing cities came in on the electric lines, and
the crowd at the station was an overflow
which the intcrurban lines were unable to
carry. 1t is expected that good crowd
will come in by the steam roads to-day.
