ARCHER is

Hanna's Forces Have Completely
Routed BeIlaire'S Ambitious
Son.
FORAKER MEN ARE AT DISADVANTAGE

Columbus, Jan. 12.-The hand of
Hanna Is being felt in the senatorial
contest in the Twentieth-Twenty sec
Ond Joint district, comprising the cou1l-
ties of Columbiana, Jefferson, Belmont
and Harrison. Hon. Frank b. Archer,
of Bellaire, strong Foraker adherent,
and a candidate for a third term in
the district, has been forced out OF the
contest as a result of quiet but ef-
fective work on the part of the Hanna
following. Senator Archer stated in
Columbus Saturday he is not an active
candidate for nomiration, but it Is
known he confided to several close
friends at the state capital he was out
of the race for good.
Emissaries of the Cleveland boss have
been active in stirring up sentiment
against Archer througout the district
and they have succeeded better than
they expected. They we're confldant
they would be able to oust Archer from
the contest but did not expect to do
1t SO soon. The Belmont county states.
man has been a thorn in the flesh of
the administration forces and made
them much trouble during the sessions
part in the organization of the senate
one year ago and was elected president
pro TEN OF the senate by the Foraker
faction, which dominated the upper
branch of the legislature. Senator
Charles G. Connell of Columbiana, who
is candidate for a second term, was
hand-in-glove with the Foraker follow
ing during the organization of the SEN
ate, fact which Uncle Marcus still
bears in mind. AS he will be a candi {.
date for United States senator he is
naturally interested in the selection OF
legislative candidates. There is not a
dearth of simon-pure Hanna candidates
and as Connell is not the real article
il is not hard to ligure what Uncle
Marcus will do in the premises. The
Cleveland bos has effectualiy effaced
Archer from the map and will next
turn his attention to other candidates
to him, despite their protestations 10
the contrary. The fight in the Twen-
tiethTwenty-second district will be
interesting although somewhat one
sided; Representative Duval, of JEFF

Charles Howard, of GAINESVILLE, and ].
G. Heinlein, of Bridgeport, Belmont
county are the Hanna candidates,
while Chadles G. Connell, of Columbi-

When Mr.. Malloy returns to Coluni-

Hanna and approved by Cen. Dick.
With the campaign of Col. Herrick

New Departure.

Columbus, o., Jan. 12.-Horace An
keney, state dairy and food commits
sioner-elect, will in all probability
adopt an innovation in the legal buI
reau for his department. The office
OF the state dairy and food commits
sioner is one through which a great
amount of political work can be done
If an astute politician is at its head
1t is proposed to appoint a general
counsel who will have the direction
of all the legal proceedings under the
commissioner and who will be in close
touch with all parts of the state Lo-
cal attorneys, there will be of course
but they will be under the supervi-
sion of the genral counsel,
1t is said that some sharp Republic
can lawyer who has had much expert
ence in political work will be selected,
who, by virtue OF his Office, can go to
any section of the state without ex-
citing suspicion of being on politi-
cal mission.

ing Bird -Siauehtcr.

Toledo, o., Jan. 12.-From latest in
formation that can be obtained it
seems the law concerning the selling
of song and insect-eating birds for
millinery purposes is to be thoroughly
tested as the milliners hope to show it
is not constitutional. The wholesale
houses notified their customers of a
meeting TO be held and all milliners
concerned attended. 1t is decided to
have each milliner contribute the
amount of the fine, $25, let the case
come to trial, If necessary carry it in
to the supreme court, and the whole
sale dealers would bear their share
of the expense pro rata. This ex-
plains what yesterday caused the
game wardens SO much surprise, the
fact that only one milliner in the city
paid the fine.

ABE PATRICK
WILL LOOK ON
New Philadelphia Democra! Not to be
an Active Participant In Coming
Campaign.
WELTY'S BOOM IS BEING DISCUSSED
(Staff Correspondent

Columbus, Jan. 12.-C. ID. Critics. 4
lawyer and banker, of Lima, is being
doomed for the Republican nomina-
tion for governor by leaders of the
party in the Fourth congressional dis
trict. He is said to be popular, but
as he is practically unknown it is al
together probable that in pushing him
as candidate his friends are actuat-
ed by desire to bestow a compliment
upon him.
Some of the conservative elements
of the Democracy are urging that
Hon. M. e. ingalls,, the well known
railroad magnate and believer N
the gold standard, be selected to lead
the Democratic hosts this year. 1t is
reported his candidacy has been
agreed upon and that 1t will be an
nounced within 30 days. Mr. ingalls,
has been burdened with a desire to
break into the political game for a
time, awaiting the arrival of pro-
pitious opportunity.
II is stated Judge Abe Patrick. Of
New Philadelphia, one of the stall
wart wheelhorses of the Democracy,
will be spectator rather than an ac-
tive participant in this years politt-
cal conflict.
Credence is given this belief by the
statements made by Senator Hurst, of
Tuscarawas county, Patrick's home
county, in this city last week that
everybody in his part of the county
was for John C. Welty, of Canton, foi
governor 1t is inferred he has assur-
ances that Patrick will not seek the
Democratic nomination for governor.
If he intended to be a candidate Tus-
carawas would be in duty bound to
support him, so 1t is assumed he will
remain out Of the race. Senator
Hurst said the party needed man
like Welty, who would draw back
men to the party who had been luke
warm in their support.

.SMOOT TOOK ADVICE
OF PRESIDENT M'KINLEY
Roosevelt Holds That Same
Objections Raised Then
Are Still Valid.

Washington, Jan. I'm advising
that Apostle Smoot, of the Mormon
church withdraw as a candidate for
United States senator to succeed Sem
ator Rawlins, Presidnet Roosevelt has
followed the example set by the late
President Mckinley, says the Cleye-
land Leader. 1t was a little over two
years ago that Mckinley personally
said to Mr.. Smoot that he ought to
keep out of the senatorial cunte st
then going on for the seat made
vacant by Frank j. Cannon. The
apostle accepted the advice then, for
Thomas Kearns was elected by the
Utah legislature.
The late president talked with
Smoot at the white house, the Nor
mon leader having come to Washing
ton for the express purpose of coun-
selling with Republicans of prominence
upon the wisdom of his candidacy
and of sounding public sentiment. At
that time the country had Just been
aroused over the case of Brigham
Roberts, the polygamist who was re-
fused seat in the house of represent
atives. There were also present at
the conference Senator Hanna and
Henry c. Payne, now postmaster gem
eral, and several other members OF
the Republican national committee.
The Mormon opostle pleaded his cause
with considerable ability, but failed
to convince his select audience, for
Mr.. Mckinley stated that it would be
very unwise and positively indefensi-
BILE from a political point of view for
him to be elected senator. The late
president strongly urged him to with
draw as candidate, and requested
him, further, not to permit himself to
be elected.

MOTHERW|LLGREET
A LONG LOST SON
Happy Reunion of Fairmount
Home Ward and Me m bers
Of His Fami-

The ends of sadly scattered fami-
in Cleveland today and an aged
mothers heart will be gladdened by
the sight of her boy whom she han
mourned as dead, says the Plain Deal
er. Sixteen years ago the four sons
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Bowling were
placed in the Fairmount children's
home at Alliance, o. The oldest Of
these boys was william. who was sew
enteen years of age, while the young
est was Arthur, aged four.
The father had died and the mother
was forced to care for the children
by placing them in the home at AL
lance. Within year after going to
the home the children began to scat
ter. the boys going out into the world
in an attempt to make their living.
In the course of ten years the two
older boys joined each other in this
city and went to work to make
home for their aged mother in Cleve-
land. Nothing, however, was heard
from the other boys, Arthur and
Charley. Years passed and ssill no
word from the two boys in spite Of
the fact that every effort was put
forth to discover some trace OF them
In time the mother and the two
brothers in this city came to believe
that the two boys were dead, although
the search was never relinguished.
Then just week ago John Bowling,
who lives at No. % Guernsey street,
Cleveland, received a message that
made his heart leap with joy. 1t was
information coming from the super
intendent of the home at Alliance to
the effect that Arthur, the youngest
boy, is at present located at Warren,
%. Fearing the effect upon the moth
er, providing the information should
prove to be misleading, the two boys
in Cleveland went to work upon the
matter, with the result that Arthur
is expected to arrive there today. AS
yet the mother does not know that
her boy has been found, and she will
not know until the long lost son Is
ready to greet her.
To Arthur the fact that he has a
relative living is apparently like
voice from the tomb. This seems to
be proved from the fact that in the
correspondence that has passed be-
tween the brothers during the last
week, some suspicion seems to have
been aroused that the whole affair
is nothing but a dream.
On Wednesday last in letter Ar
thur set today as the one for the re-
union. He will be met by the broth
ers at the depot and will be taken to
see his mother, of whom he has ab-
solutely no remembrance.
Nothing has been heard from Char
ley since he left the home. Now,
however, the search will be carried on
with increasing vigor in the hope that
the other long lost son may be
brought back to his mother

CAN'T FIND HELP
For the Sugar Season--Suqar-
makers arc Worried Over
the Outlook.

Sugarmalers are, worried over the
outlook for securing hired help durir
the coming sugar season. The maple
season usually opens late in February,
and help is engaged a month or so
earlier. This winter many sugarmak
crs are unable to engage help at home,
and are going out of the country to sc
cure men for the work.
The situation is new one in Starl,
county, and the indications are that
wages in the sugar camp the coming
spring will be much higher than ever
before. Some farmers have already
hired men for year in order to insure
help in "sugaring."

Defence FOR
THE RETAILER
Coal lealeTs' Association President
Has a Few Words TO Say
on Coal Famine
IT'S NOT The OPERATORS FAULT.

John II. Ullrick. of Springfield, O.,
president of the Ohio Coal Dealers
association and twice president of the
national association, has given out a
signed statement, relative to the pres
ent coal famine. He has been prompt
ed to do SO by the fact that grand jur-
ies the country over are investigating
local associations. Part of the state
ment follows:
"The retail dealer is a creature OF
circumstances over which he has no
control. He mas nothing to do with
fixing the prices of coal at mines, nor
with the cost of its transportation from
the mines to his delivery tracks. All
this is done for him at practically uni
form figures, from which there is ne
deviation. In the light of the above
facts it is certainly not surprising that
the selling prices of coal at retail
should be uniform or nearly so in the
towns and cities of Ohio, subject to
variations in accordance with local
conditions. 1t is perhaps not general
ly known, but 1t is nevertheless true,
that coal dealers are compelled to hire
their own police protection to pre-.
vent wholesale stealing of coal from
cars and bins, Notwithstanding the
fact that they are taxpayers, the SAME
as other people.
"The difference between track cost
of coal and its selling price to the con-
eumer is deceiving. Out of that must
he paid innumerable expenses at ever
increasing figures. the item of feed
alone having almost doubled in the
last year or two, SC that when the net
profit is finally ascertained, it is often
SO small as to be ridiculous when COM
pared with the profits Of other mer-
chants. But why is coal high at mines.
I answer because of the unprecedent-
ed demand.
at may be paradcxical to say that
prosperity (Which is good thing)
brought this evil of high priced coal
upon us, but 1t is true; the supply ant
the means of furnishing greater sup
ply have not kept pace with the ever
increasing demand. AS much coal is
used today for steam purposes alone
as was used for all purposes a year
or two ago.
"Thc coal operator is not at fault
for the prevailing high prices, he does
not make the prices. His would-be
customers urge him to accept high
price for all he can produce. but at
this point he has contracted fully 60
per cent of his capacity for steam pur-
poses. He has to do this to make HIM
felf safe on large output. This leaves
him with 40 per cent of his output 10
cell at such prices as are offered. But
at this point he is confronted with n
40 per cent shortage in railroad equip
ment with which TO handle the coal,
for which he could get the abnormal
price offered
who, then, is reaping the benefit OF
