Says He Went to Sleep in Pensa-
cola Harbor and Woke Up at
Sea, Far from His Own Ship.
LIQUOR HIS UNDOING

A nights carousal in Pensacola, Fla,
according to his statement is responsible
for Thomas Ward. a marine on the United
States battleship Massachusetts, waking up
on the following morning in a strange ship
and on the high seas.
Indirectly, this same carousal brought
him TO Indianapolis, where, last night he
occupied a berth at the police station Of
his free will. He is charged with
being a deserter, although, = ais story is
true. his principal sin was in indulging
too freely in Pensacola liquor on the night
of April 4.

the bars at the Jail, "a marine, and L

More wells were completed in
the West Virginia, New York and
Pennsylvania oil fields in Septem-
Der than in August, but there was
a very heavy decline in new pro-
duction and a large falling off in
the number of new rigs. Eight
hundred and siXty-eight wells
were completed in September in
these States, which produce the
only high grade oil in the world.
There was at the end Of the
month 1918 drilling wells and rigs,
which is a gain of only 6 wells
and a loss in the daily production
of 1929 barrels a day in new pro-
duction. There is decline in new
work of SIS wells. In the Indiana
fields there is a loss of 70 rigs in
new operations. From this report
We can confidently expect sub.
stantial rise in the price of oil.
Fall is here now, the scarcity Of
water has materially stopped work
and when the rains come we will
have bad roads and cold weather.
We may have So oil before spring
comes.

of President Roosevelt.
Summing up the situation,
therefore, a month before the bal
lots are cast, it would appear that
the Democrats are making percep-
tible progress, although victory
for, them is still far from being
assured. The party is certainly
in better shape than it has been
since 1892, and if the present con-
ditions had obtained two years
ago, the possibility Of Democratic
success would now be much nearer
a probability. 1t is difficult, how
ever, to heal serious factional dit
ferences in a few brief hours, and
it is a still more herculean task
to efface the record of incapacity,
uncertainty, and blunder which
has characterized Democratic
management since the convention
of 1896. The results which have
been already accomplished in
this direction are remarkable.
They are at least calculated to
give the Republican managers
some concern.

The Sancho well on the Free

barrels a day natural. Five new
locations have been made in the
vicinity of the well, and will be
drilled at once. Jemison & Swan
have sold a one-sixteenth interest
in the Freeland we'll to the Fisher
Oil company for $4,000, which
gives them the controlling inter
est in the well and leases. The
new strike has given the territory

ed handsome bonuses. Oil well

PROGRESS OF CAMPAIGN.

acter of the Presidential campaign
has changed within the past four
weeks. The feeling of satisfaction
and relief which followed the pub
LEGATION of Judge Parker's tele-
gram to the st. Louis convention
was succeeded by period OF
marked depression and inactivity
in the Democratic ranks. The
election seemed to be going by de-
fault. There was no impetus to
the Parker campaign. The Re-
publicans. on the other hand,
were alert, progressive, enthusiast
tic and confident.
Observers of the political situa-
ton will agree that there is now
more activity and hOpefulness IN
the Democratic organization.
Whether this be due to the vlrll-
ity of Judge Parker's letter OF ac-
ceptance. or whether it be occas-
toned by the hearty participation
of Senator German in the manage
ment of the campaign, we shall
not undertake to say. There may
be other causes. The apparent
revolt against OdelIism in New
York, coupled with the fact that
the Democrats have nominated a
State ticket of conceded ability
and strength, is certainly another
factor, because it lessons the prob
ability of New York going Repub-
lican, and thus the Democrats are
encouraged. Judge Parker, also,
has accomplished much by his
tactful dealings with the leaders
of the factions within his party.
He has realized the necessity OF
complete harmony, and under his
skullful manipulation a great deal
of menacing friction has disap-
peared. His counsel is evidently
wise and his judgment sound. AT
least he has not up to the present
time, suggested false step or
made a serious blunder.
The Republican managers evil
IDENTIFY appreciate the fact that
they will be foolish to regard the
contest as already decided. Chair
man Cortelyou has sounded a
warning against overconfdence,
and the energy with which he is
sending speakers into the doubt
full States makes it evident that ne
is not without some anxiety. The
chances of success are, of course,
with the Republicans. The SUI
perb organization which the late
Senator Hanna created is still, IN
a large measure, intact, and the
party, as whole, still presents a
remarkable example OF loyalty,
cohesion and discipline. The Re-
publicans have an advantage,
too, in the fact that they can elect
President Roosevelt without the
aid of New York electoral votes,
while the Democrats must carry
New York to win with Parker.
The Republicans can even lose
West Virginia and still secure a
majority of the electoral college.
At the same time, it must not be
forgotten that for nearly half a
century New. York State has been
found on the winning side. 1t has
gone hand in hand to victory with
Indiana. If on the Sth of Novem>
Der New York should 60 Demo-
cratic and Roosevelt be elected, or
if New York should 60 Demo-
cratic and Indiana give Republl-
can majority, two long-established
precedents would be badly shat
tered. 1t would be quite appro-
pirate if this should be the case
