VIGOROUS FIGHT IN VIEW.
Representative Mudd Preparing for a
Strenuous Campaign.

Reports from the fifth Maryland district
Indicate that Representative Sydney E.
Mudd is preparing to withstand a strenu-
Gus assault by the democrats. He Is not
going TO rely upon his popularity through
out the district or upon his past success to
carry him into congressional Office again.
He will make a campaign as thorough as if
he were up for election the first time. and
his friends, while admitting the strength
of the democratic opposition, say he will
triumph again at the polls.
Mr.. Mudd's campaign will be characteris-
ucaliy picturesque. He will employ brass
band where brass band Is needed to stir
up the voters. and he will employ corps
or kindergarten teachers where 1t is necees-
sary to instruct the semi-iliterate voters
as to the correct way to mark the ballots.
The democratic opposition to Mr.. Mudd
has not yet crystallized. The democratic
Senator Wilson, who. had he lived, would
have been the standard bearer of the demo-
Gratis in the effort to win Mr.. Mudds seat
in the lower branch OF the national legis-
democratic opposition will be headed by one
of the following three gentlemen: Robert
w. Wells Of Hyattsville, DR.. Richard 8.
Hill of Prince Georges county or B. H.
Camalier of st. Mary's county
The friends of Mr.. Wells are working
hard for his nomination. They point to the
fact that Mr.. Wells retired in favor Of
State Senator Wilson In the interest of har-
mony and at time when the nominating
issue was in doubt. Under the peculiar cir
cumstances that have arisen since that
time. 1t is urged that Mr.. Wells is the logi-
cal candidate. DR.. Hills friends are just
as strongly urging his claims for reward
by the party, while the supporters of Mr.
Camalier are setting forth in an enthusiast
tic manner his fitness for the congressional
Office.

COLORADO FOR ROOSEVELT.
What Col Ransde1l Learned on His
Trip to That State.


A great deal of interest Is manifested by
the politicians Of both parties in the sit

Every politician who comes from the shad-
ow of Pixies Peak is questioned about the
outlook.
Col. Dan. Ransdel sergeant-at-arms of
the United States Senate, has just returned
from a trip to Colorado. Col. Ransdell Is
politician and has the reputation in In
diana of being an adept in sizing up pO-
litical proposition.
Colorado, in my judgment, is safe for
Roosevelt and Fairbanks said Col. Rams
dell. Il studied the situation in that state
quite carefully, and l fail to see wherein
the state the national ticket. So far
as the state ticket is concerned. 1 would
not be so optimistic. Gov. Peabody will
have antagonist a young and Wig
orous democrat, who stands very well be-
fore the people, and the LOCAL animosities
arising from the labor troubles in the MIN
ing districts may throw the state against
Peabody. However, 1 believe Peabody will
be elected, though by reduced plurality.
The republicans Of Colorado have done the
only thing they could do in indorsing Pea
bOdys course.
THE labor question Is the burning one
in Colorado. and an attempt Is being made
to inject 1t into the national campaign In
that state. But failed to find that labor

Annual Report Of Inspector
E. G. Runyau.
TESTS
ILLUMINATING POWER OF WASH
INGToN CoMPANY'S PRODUCT.
Below the Standard on Fifty-Two Oc-
casions-Remedy Applied by
the Manufacturer.

The annual report Of Mr.. F. G. Runyan.
inspector of gas and meters for the Dis
trict. was submitted to the Commissioners
today. The inspector states that $50 official
photometric tests of the gas supplied by
the Washington Gas Light Company made
during the year gave an average illuminat-
ing power equal to 22.66 standard candles.
or sixty-six hundredths above the legal re-
quirement. The average of 21S tests in the
northwest laboratory, located at 1895 14th
street northwest. was 22.14 candles. The
average of 265 tests In the southeast labora-
tory. located at 9TH and D streets south
east, was %. 40 candles.
The inspector states that on fifty-one oc
Casions during the year the gas Of this
company was below the legal requirement
of - candles. He states that most of the
defaults occurred during the months of
December January and February. at the
time that the gas company was using as
an enricher a gas oil heavier than the grade
of naphtha formerly employed for this pur-
pose.
Representatives of the company" says
Mr.. Runyan, stated that they were unable
to secure the grade of naphtha formerly
used and We're obliged to use the heavier
oil instead. 1t was soon evident that salts
factory results could not be obtained with
the new oil without some changes in the
gas works
Resort to Minor Changes.
Minor changes were made from day to
day, in the hopes of overcoming the diff
culties. Some of the changes gave promise.
for time, of yielding satisfactory results.
but each one showed after a thorough trial
that it could not be relied upon to convert
this heavy oil into fixed gas of satisfac-
tory Illuminating power. To accomplish this
result 1t would be necessary to make ex-
tensive changes In the plant, changes which
it would be impossible to make and mean
while maintain the daily output of gas de-
manded at that season Of the year.
About this time representative of the
gas company stated that the company had
been able to again secure the grade of
naphtha formerly used. and since then the
only defaults in candle power have been
temporary ones, due to unavoidable acci-
dentS,'
