T. H. O'Neal, of Marion. secretary to
Major George w. Steele, said while here
yesterday that everything is quiet in the
labor situation at Marion and that no diff
Guilty is anticipated. E
I'm a situation of that kind" he said,
sit is difficult to say just what will happen.
for if a large crowd gathers around the
factory some little, unexpected incident
might result in an unfortunate demonstra-
ton, but L think the union men realize
hat any sort of a lawless outbreak would
absolutely ruin their cause. and for this
reason l believe such a thing is not TO be
anticipated. The visit of General Perry had
a most salutary effect, for it impressed
the gravity of the situation upon both the
city officials and the leaders of the strikers.
The city authorities are prepared to meet
any emergency. l understand"
Mr.. O'Neal modestly disclaimed any
knowledge of Grant county politics. al
though it is well known that he is one of
the most active and most valued party
workers there. He says Major Steele is in
Dayton at present, visiting the Soldiers
Home with the board of managers.

Journal. a semi-weekly newspaper that has

henceforth be a Republican paper, begin
ming with to-day's issue. The Journal is a
~forceful and popular newspaper, and is now

y special to the Journal from Anderson
says:
Theodore S~hockney, of Union City, was
i'm Anderson to-day, taking an inventory
of congressional timber in this county. Mr..
Shockney stated while here that he would
enter the race for the nomination in this
district next year, and would get into the
running much earlier than he did two years
ago. The Anderson prospects do not seem
to scare Mr.. S%hockney, who feels that he
has a good chance to win this time. He
said that he was mistreated in the Port
land convention.
Mr.. Shockney interviewed a number of
Republicans while here, and stated that
even If Former Mayor Dunlap n Senator
Kittinger were not candidates, there would
be opposition to Congressman Cromer here,
but he did not disclose the name of the
prospective candidate. 1t is understood by
the intimate friends of Dunlap that he is
a candidate for the nomination, and will
make a hard fight for the honor. Senator
Kittinger says he is content with his place
in the State Senate, which he considers a
| gress."
