Apathy in Massachusetts,.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 1.-The strik.
ing feature of the state campo ign
brought to close today has been the
apathy manifested by the rank and
file OF both parties. The exceedingly
small attendance at the Republican

state is causing unusual uneasiness at

AMENDMENTS WILLLOSE
Not Thought the Voters Will Ap-
prove the Changes to the
Constitution.

jackson, Miss, Nov. 3.-On the
ave of the Congressional election in
Mississippi no hope is entertained
shat either of the three proposed am
sndments to the State Constitution
will receive the required majority
&nd at least one Of the measures it is
believed that the vote will be rather
close, as considerable opposition has
developed to the amendment allowing
counties and towns tC vote donations
or subscribe stock to railroad enter
prises. A campaign of explanation is
In progress on this subject which has
oarried conviction to the minds of the
voters that the adoption of such a
measure would not to any great extent
accelerate the building OF railroads,
and the opinion is fixed that the con-
struotion of transportation lines will
progress steadily as the trade offered
by nndeyeloped territory will justify.
Opposition to che amendment pro-
posing regular biennial legi slative ses-
sions is based chiefly on the ground
shat the statute books are already bur.
dened with too many laws, and that
less legislation and more enforcement
is needed.
The amendment proposing to allow
the next succeeding legislature to in
sLv1fs .I,~r~ 10
instead of having measures lay over
until the second succeeding Legislature
is not strongly developed, and more
hope is felt that this measure will be
adopted than either of the others. The
prospect for the defeat Of all three
amendments, however, is quite
promis sing, owing to the Supreme
Court decision declaring that such
measures must receive majority O.
NIL the voters participating in the
election, instead of major ity of
those voting on that particular ques-
Eion.
In some parts of the state half
hearted efforts have been made to GET
ont the vote for Tuesday, but suoh
movements have resulted in little OF
no success, or manifestation of inter.
est among the people. At this hour
there is no reason to change the gen
orally accepted estimate that the total
vote polled in the state will be
between 30, 600 and 40, 900 from a total
registration of about 100, 900. None

man though spending most of his
time quietly at his country home
near Laurel, is keeling in close touch
with the political campaign. He
has given an interview saying the
next House of Representatives will be
Democratic by from twenty to thir-
ty majority. He says that continent
throughout the lcud is toward the
Democratic party, and that conser-
vative men are looking to the Dem

BRIQUETTE INDUSTRY
Gates Surprised at Neglect of the
Business in ThissCountry.

Gates Surprised at Neglect of the
Business in This country.
New York, Nov. 3.-John w. Gates
who has just returned from Europe,
is enthusiastic over the briquette
industry as brought to his attention
while abroad. He expresses surprise
that the possibilities for the ex-
ploitation Of the manufacture of
briquettes here have been so long
ignored and not taken up by far-see-
ing and active capitalists.
Very little is known in this country
concerning briquettes, says Gates,
twenty years they have been used in
Europe, notably in France, Germany,
Belgium and Spain. Popularity, they
are known there as the "poor mans
fuel for the reason that they cost
less than the highest grades Of coal
and give out heat in greater quantities
bulk for bulk, than any form Of an
thracite, bituminous or other forms of
coal.
Briefly, briquettss are rade out Of
waste material, which is the residue
from the breakers after the mine coal
has been broken up into the various
market sizes. Pea coal is the smallest
size that is made at the breakers and
all Of the fragments Of coal from the
various breakages which 60 through
the screen accumulate IN what are
called "oulm banks at the mines.
These are absolutely worthless to the
companies, and in Pennsylvania and
other GOAL mining districts through
out the country they fill up in enorm-
Gus banks that are absolutely waste
product, except in the sense of being
available for briquertes, which indus
try has been practically untouched in
this country.
The advantages of briquette fuel are
numerous: it is absolutely without
dust; each briquette is IN the shape
Of cube, running in size from that
of chestnut GOAL to twenty or forty
pounds per brick, for the use of 10
comotives and large plants; is easy
Of shipment and economical in it's
space taking up in bins; it burns
without smoke, and gives out more
heat than coal. Mr.. Gates says that
it seems to him that in this country
the opportunity for the production Of
briquettes are almost unlimited and
the establishment Of such an industry
appears to be one thing in which
Americans are behind their Europe.
an cousins.

Washington, Nov. To-day wit
messed general exodus of department
clerks and other Federal office holders
who are going home to vote. For a
political off-year the number of those
returning home is regarded as un-
usually large, a fact that tends to
contradict the general supposition that
the elections to be held next Tuesday
have not aroused much interest. The
close contest in Pennsylvania, New
York, and other states where the re.
suit is in doubt will attract every
Federal office holder hailing from
those common wealths back home to

To be sure many men were gotten into line through these clubs. but in the main they were largely paper organizations and lacked coherence and force. Col. Harvey is a practical man. and he proposes that these clubs be more than names and memberships, something more than straw. The importance of clubs is be- yond all dispute. and if they can be weld ed into a strong organization in each state, they undoubtedly become a great political factor. They must be well of- ficered, and every central organization should have at its head practical men, who are determined to bring out results They must be more than the product or the advertising department of sensa- tional newspaper.
