A.J.Schaeffer editor of the Demo.
crat Adrian and cand idate for Supt.
of schools was in town this week.
He says he is not making a agrees
i've campaign 80 he will not feel SO
badly disappointed when defeat
comes. Mr.. Schaeffer has the rec
hord;of being an excellent educator
and most highly spoken Of in edu-
cational circles where he formerly
resided. All of this will avail him
little to secure an office in this
county as long he is a democrat.
Those who have been over the
county q good deal and receive
reports from the remaining portion
state that there never was such
bright prospects OF large republi-
can majority as there is this fall. The
present Indications are that every
republican candidate from Govener
down to the last man on the
ticket will be elected. Of course it
will not be we'll for repuplicans to
remain at home thinking that
their..vote..will.. not be necessary but
on the contrary turn out and. vote

NEWTON FAUSKEE
Mr.. Fauskee is making a splendid
campaign for the office of sheriff.
He is fully qualified for the position
therefore there will he no disappoint
ment to those who vote for him
after election is over.
Whatever spirit of discord arose
out of the primary election, all Of
the republicans are working. to win
magnificent victory. We don't
believe there is an except
ion. It is matter worthy of notice
to see the ranks close up and have
only the one aim, to bring about a
large majority for each candidate.
Every candidte on the republican
ticket is worthy of he vote of every
loyal republicn. They are all men
of intelligence, ability and integr-
ity. Reputable citizen of the county,
standing high in the estimation OF
the people and have quaifi-
cations that are sufficient to war;

Mobiles county never had a better
representive in the hall Of state
legislature than Danial Shell. He
is man who is true to: his friends
and consequently is true to his
constituents. He is man Of
but few words. His record is clean
and honorable. He has been in
public life for the past fifteen years
and has never been charged with a
dishonorable act throughout his
political career.
1t is to be hoped that the people
of Mobiles and Murray counties will
not allow their political differences
to defeat for election SO strong a
man as Danial Shell. He is recogniz-
ed as one of the leaders in the upper
branch of the legislature and his
influence is large and constantly
growing. A senator such as Mr..
Shell will be incalculable .benefit to
the district which he represents -

mental stage. We have shown by our
practices that the vicious and criminal

HE'S A POPULAR EMPLOYER
There Are Others Up Thereawho Who
Will Never Be Subject to This
Sort of Thing.

Pittsburg Oct. 6.-PreSident George
q. McMurtry, of the American Sheet
Steel company. was Saturday induced
to visit Vandergrift. where is located
the largest sheet steel plant in the
world. upon the preteXt that his pres
ence was required in business way.
Before he left the town he was pre-
sented, as a token of the good feeling
and affection of his employees. a beauti-
full silver punch bowl, designed by
Tiffany, such as has seldom been given
to any head of Il great corporation un-
der these conditions.
The whole affair. as far as the punch
bowl was concerned. was planned by
the workmen themselves. General
Manager +. w. Pargeny. of the Kis-
kiminetas Valley plants. was select
ed to make the presentation speech.
In a neat and feeling address he told
AcAIurtry of the workmen's affection
for the man who made it possible for
them TO enjoy their present prosperity,
and closed by unveiling the beautiful
work of art.
McMurtry, after he had in meas
ure overcome his surprise. made u
short address of appreciation, and a
little later startled his admirers by a
return compliment in the announces
ment that he would furnish each Of

ing the Presbyterian. Baptist. Roman

form and Methodist = the gift of a

for a moment. as if not sure their
hearing was correct: but the an
nOuncement came clearly and simply
there burst from the thousands of
throats of those present a cheer that
fairly shook the building. The day
in Yandergrift was a gala occasion,
participated in by the people from the
whole valley.

Sentence of Five Years in the

st. Louis, Oct. 6.-Robert Mcclure
Snyder was convicted of bribery in
the criminal court Saturday night and
sentenced TO five years Imprisonment
in the state penitentiary, after the jury
had considered for tifty-nine minutes
its verdict on the case. which had
occupied an entire week in preSenta-
tion. Two of his attorneys. Judge
Henry $ Priest and Morton Jourdan,
signed his appeal bond for $4,000, Sc
curing his release until the term of
court commencing today. This is the
first conviction of the bribery cases.
The defense was almost entirely an
to prove that no conviction
could be had because of the statute of
the nub of the matter be-
ing whether Snyder was Il resident of
Missouri. If he was the statute came
between him and conviction. His law
yers thought they had proved his resi-
dence in this state, and were surprised

WHAT THE PRESIDENT CAN DO
Conference Believed to Have Discussed
the Proper Scope of His Offer.

Conference Believed to Have Discussed
the Proper Scope of His Offer.
He can pledge himself to appeal to
congress to examine into the justice of
the miners complaints, and remedy
them so far as lies in the power of
the legislative branch, backed by the
earnest good will of the executive.
Also he can suggest to Governor Stone,
of Pennsylvania. that he cause the
Pennsylvania, legislature likewise to
make an inquiry, perhaps Fastening
the usual methods by calling an extra
session. But these pledges would be
given only on condition that the men
90 ut once into the mines and get out
with all speed the coal for which the
people are now said to be suffering.
To adopt this course means the con-
tinuance of thepolicy of eXerting moral
suasion to end the strike. 1t is GER
tain that thus far the president has
not found single one of his con-
stitutional advisors who could suggest
any departure from this policy; no one
could find method sanctioned by law
or constitution which promised relief
and involved the use of duress against
either the operators or the miners.
SO it is believed that yesterdays
conference was called by the president
with the purpose of putting in exact
shape the details of a plan conceived
in it's rough outlines even before the
departure of President Mitchell last
Friday afternoon from the mixed con-
ference The three hours spent in con-
sultation yesterday were none too long
to put into form the twin propositions
one to the miners organization and
the other to Governor Stone-and the
fact that Secretary COrtelyou was
called on to prepare one or more state
ments at the direction of the presi-
dent is taken as an indication that
messages were sent out at the end of
the conference, which could not be
made public in advance of their re-
ceipt by those addressed.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. Ga CORE
spOndent of the Associated Press last
night asked President Mitchell what
he had heard from President ROose-
velt. and his reply was: ''Why do you
ask. what have you heard?" He was
Informed that the president and his

MOVEMENT OF THE PUBLIC

Law-Extra Session of Congress.

philadelphia, Oct. 6.-The proposal
has been made that the courts could
stop the strike in the, anthracite fields
by proceeding in the courts against the
coal railways . violation of the laws
of the state. 1t is alleged that these
coal roads are all actively engaged in
coal mining as well as railroading,,
which is direct violation of the con-
stitution of Pennsylvania, which says
that no incorporated common carrier
shall direct, or indirectly prosecute
or engage in mining or manufacturing
articles for transportation over its
works, nor directly or indi-
rectly engage in any other business
than that of common carrier

as to the nature of the proceedings,
based upon what preceded the meet
ing The known facts are that the
president has reached the conclusion
that he has nothing to expect save re-
fusaI from a further appeal to the coal
operators, and therefore has decided
to look for relief from a situation
which in his view is fast growing in
tolerable-tO the miners side. He
feels that be hardly can expect them
to make the sacrifice of all of their
contentious without holding out at
least a promise OF some return, and
the question before him is as to his
ability to do this.
