TOM JoHNsoNs VICTORY"

New York Evening Post.-In many
respects the victory Of Tom T.. John
son in the Ohio convention is empty.
1t was won by methods which were
startling even in Ohio. Election fig
ures in that state since 1895, when the
blight of Organism began to thin the
ranks of the democratic party, show
the process OF elimination by which
Johnson has maintained himself in
power In 1897 Bushnell, the republi-
can candidate for governor, received
plurality of $4,000. Nash increased
this in 1899 to $4,000. In 1901, Gov.
Nash ives reelected, this time with a
plurality of $1,000. Last year Laylin,
the republican candidate for secretary
OF state was elected by plurality Of

more than 10000. There is small rea-
son to expect that the progressive de-
cline will be checked this year. John
sons policy of elimination was never
carried on more vigorously than at
present. To cast out those who OPP
pose him seems to be in him a funda-
mental political instinct. He possess
es it in common with many another
minority leader.

The wisdom Of the republican state
central committee in selecting A. NJ

the basis OF its success.

MACHINE TO BLOW GLASS.
One Of the No.t Marvellous Contriv-
ances in the World of Industry.

Ono Of the Most Marvellous Contriv-
ances in the World of Industry.
Glass has at last been successfully
blown by machinery and, as has gen.
orally been the case when mechanical
means supersede hand methods, all
feats of hand-blowing have been out
done.
The secret Of the remarkable inven-
tion is still hidden, but specimens Of
tie work done have been shown. The
cylinders are Of immense size, the larg-
est being thirty inches in diameter and
rineteen feet long.
The new machine is the invention Of
John A. Lubbers, a glassblower of AL
leSheny, Pa. II has been built at the
Alexandria, Ind, branch of the Ameri-
can Window Glass Company's plant.
The process Of blowing window glass
Is simple in theory, but difficult in
practice. On the end of q long tube
mass Of molten glass is collected.
This is then heated in a furnace and
gradually distended by blowing into q
large tube with straight sides.
To accomplish this without the pecu.
liar twisting and manipulation employ
ed by the human glassblower has puz-
zled many clever inventors, and the
Lubbers machine was made successful
only after a great many experiments.
Lubbers has invented several labor
saving devices and this latest triumph
is likely to make him many times a
millionaire when it is generally in
stalled.
Skilled mechanics from the Westins-
house factories in Pittsburg have been
working behind barred gates and high
walls for months in the erection and
installation of the machines, which no
man other than old and skilled en-
ployes Of the company was allowed to
see.
Patents have not yet been granted
on certain parts Of the machines and
therefore the secrecy.
SO confident Is the company of the
merits Of the machine that it is pre-
pairing to spend thousands Of dollars
in its installation in all of the forty
one plants controlled by it in various
parts Of the country.
1t is expected that the device will
do away with hand blowers altogether.
So confident are the men that this will
be the case that many are getting out
Of the business. The better class Of
blowers earn from $3.50 to 5000 a
month.-New York World.
