WELLS COMPANY WILL
BUILD FACTORY HERE

OTHER INCORPORATIONS

The Wells Manufacturing and Supply
Company, with Offices at "a South Capitol
avenue. this city. was incorporated yester-
day by Ambrose II. Wells, Benton Forkner,
Edward J. Storms and Z. Z. Gebhardt.
The new company has a capital stock of
$4,000, all of which has been subscribed for.
Ambrose II. Wells. president and prin-
cipal stockholder of the company. has been
in business for some time. Owing TO it's
rapid growth he decided to organize the
company.
The company manufactures fire proof
safes. electric railroad supplies. factory and
mill supplies and office supplies. Shipments
are made to all parts of the world. Re
Gently a large consignment of goods was
shipped to London, and orders also were
shipped to Mexico and Jamaica.
At present the two factories of the COM
pany are located at Columbus. o., and Gin
cinnat While definite plans have not been
completed, IL is probable the company will
buy ground in this city and erect a factory
building here, closing down the two now
being used. About $50 men will be en-
ployed if the factory is located in this city.
Martinsville and several of the smaller
towns Of the State have made offers of
buildings for factory use, but it is hardly
probable the offers will be accepted.
Behind the incorporation of the company
is the story of a hard and bitter fight made
against IL by the trust. Single-handed Mr..
Wells has. in spite of all efforts, succeeded
against his adversary, and the articles
manufactured by the company have been
placed all over the world.

WANT LABOR JOURNAL TO
CONTINUE IS 4 WEEKLY
Most of Miners Oppose Changing
Their Organ to Monthly Issue
Paying Investment.

While discussed briefly at yesterdays ses-
sion, the question of changing the United
Mine Workers Journal from a weekly to
a monthly publication is expected to come
up to-day for final disposition. The gen
eral sentiment of the delegates is against
such a change. The Journal coming every
week TO them is a welcome guest and they
do not care to see 1t changed to a month
ly magazine, like so many of the other
labor publications. Around the hotels last
night it was stated that the resolution will
never be adopted.
Within the past few years the Journal
has been a paying investment, the first
time in it's history, and it is thought that
by publishing it monthly the receipts ac-
cruing from the advertisements will be cur
tailed. The past year was a record breaker
for the Journal, the net receipts being over
81 900.

 Under normal conditions there are more Democrats than Republicans in the United States. The workingmen, small merchants and tax payers great ly outnumber the coal barons, the steel trusts.
 There are more farmers and stock raisers than gamblers on Wall Street. This campaign the conditions are normal For the first time in years harmonious front. Former President Cleveland and William Jennings Bryan are working for Judge Parker. honest ly and earnestly. There are no schisms. no laggards, no soreheads.
 The gamblers who are fiouting their bets of to 1 on Roosevelt will wake up the next morning with something akain to seasickness," is the way the managers of the Democratic campaign put the situation. They will this week spring tremendous sensation, which is likely to rouse the American people from their complacent lethargy and send them to the polls In hot indigna- ton. It is believed that figures will be cited to show that the Republican campaign barrel is being replenished by the steel trust. the Standard Oil, the railroads and other great combina- tions.
 In return for this. the trusts are to be assured of favorable Legislation. Tho steel trust, for instance, Is willing to dump a large sum into the Republican fund if 1t is guaranteed permission to continue charging the American pur- chasers $28 a ton for steel rails while it is selling precisely the same rails in Europe at $20 ton with all ocean and other freights prepaid and the goods laid down1At the door of the purchaser.
 The time Is short but the American conscience Is quick to act when arous- ed, and the last week before election will see more red fire and rattling of dry bones than the Republicans deem possible. The Democratic managers are certain of their ground. They are not amateurs or wild-eyed prophets. They say Judge Parker will be elected and they mean what they say. Just what master trick they have up their sleeves will be known this week.
 Meanwhile the Republicans are in a state of nervousness. They know a blow is to fall, but can not gauge its size, weight, exact location or effect.
 MT. Parker believes he will be elect ed entirely on the result of the last two weeks campaign It has been his belief from the first that if he could get the swing of the campaign with him in the last two weeks he could overcome the opposition in all the deba- table States of the East, Indiana and the Rocky Mountain States.

ruUv wILI, sUpPoRT HIM.

Some of the New York Republicans who are such ardent admirers of Roose- velts civic honesty, honest government and honesty in political deiiverances now have an exceeding fine opportunity to make good and to show their faith by their works. Lucius Nathan Ltttauer, who was so unfavorably prominent in the glove contract scandal. and who was covered all over with the disrepu- table transaction. is again candidate for Congress, probably after vindica . ton.
 It might reasonably be supposed that Roosevelt would throw his influence against this grafter, for such he was proven to be. and it might also be im- asined that the honest Republicans of Littauer's district would think they could make themselves solid with the President by throwing the glove-makcr over. but both these suppositions would be without leg to stand on. We have not heard any trumpet blast from Roosevelt instructing his Party friends that they should not vote for man who only escaped the penitentiary by pleading the statute of limitations, nor have we heard that any of those Re- pubIicans are filing protests or showing disposition to buck at the prospect of voting for grafter.
 The reason is not far to seek. The Twenty fifth Congressional District, which this appropriate Republican can didate misrepresents, has a safe Repub- lican majority, and that majority is not going to be jeopardized by any such lit- tie thing as love for political or of hcial honesty. The Republicans In Congress may need the vote of that member. and the Republican candidate for Congress may need the votes of that District; consequently, the chance to turn down a tainted official Is not likely to be embraced. If the Repub- lican voters of that district really wish to make a record as disapprovers of civic dishonesty, the opportunity is l spreading out its arms to them. In the words Of one Grover Cleveland. "the statute of limitations never runs against political dishonesty, or the be- traySl of a public trust. when the off, fender; to secure vindication. offers himself for the Cuffrages of the people" It does run, however. with those who set Party loyalty above honesty, aTfd for that reason we do not look for | Iittauer fo suffer

NOTE OF ALARM.

Republicans fin Indiana Are by No
 Means Confident. Indianapolis Special to New Orleans
 Times-Democrat.
 The Indianapolis Star had been i'm dependent until it changed ownership a few days ago. It has now announced allegiance to Roosevelt and Republi- canism. Today it observes editorial ly:
 "A note of alarm was sounded at Saturday nights Republican rally in Indianapolis with reference to the cleo toral vote of the State, the member of Congress from this district and the legislative ticket in Marion County. The alarm, it seems, was we'll founded There Is occasion for solicitude The result is uncertain"
 Dr. Chandler Oakes of Kingston, N. Y. Judge Parker's friend. is stili in Indiana. He said today:
 T believe the Democrats will carry Indiana. They have better organiZa- tion than the Republicans. It Is as near the voters as any organization can get. In at least eighty out of ninety two counties the Democratic organiza- tion is most excellent believe that from to per cent. of the Republicans of Indiana will vote for Parker. Un- doubtedly the majority of the best citizens of Indiana are with the Demo- cratic party"
 Betting is very limited. Even money on the State today remains untaken.

Confident in New York.

New Y0rk SpeClhI. .. State Senator Pat" McCarren. the most astute politician in New York city, told me tonight that he con idently expected the State to go Demo- cratic by at least 50.000. T look for a landslide for Parker" said he. The trend Is unquestionably in our favor to- day and the vigorous campaigning which will be done during the week will bring about crescendo move- ment whcih will surely result in the election of the Democratic ticket. The outlook Is distinctly cheerful"
 Congressman William Sulzer was even more optimistic, T have just re- turned from a speech making tour through Illinois, West Virginia and New Jersey" he said, 'and I am con fident that those States are ours. Don't be misled by this talk of Republican cocksureness: there will be some marvellous surprises a week from Tues day as sure as we are standing here. A significant fact is that the Repub- licans around the Fifth Avenue hotel tonight were offering odds of only to 1 on Roosevelt and were showing no anxiety to have their money covered at that.
 The Democratic fighting will be sharp and fierce during the week, and with confidence at the high water mark already, and constantly increasing. nothing but satisfactory results are looked for.
