NEW HAMPSHIRE CONTEST Republicans Having a Warm Session Trying to Name the Standard
 Bearer NECK AND NECK RACE

Concord, N. H., Sept 18-Every del, egate to the republican state conven- ton in this city was prepared for a long drawn out battle and no one dis puted the assertion that the fight for first place on the ticket would be one of the keenest in the history of the republican party.
 The candidates for governor are: Charles H. Greenleaf of Franconia, Charles H. Floyd of Manchester, both of whom are regarded as stand pat ters," ROsecrans w. Pillsbury of Lon donderry. who has made charges of extravaganza i'll the use of state moneys, and Winston Churchill the novelist, candidate of the Lincoln re- publican club of New Hampshire. whose platform contains vigorous charges against the Boston & Maine railroad. Colonel Churchill also de- mands reform in several directions, including direct primaries. the discon- tinuatiOn of railroad passes and the electen of railroad commissioners by the people. Stephen H. Gale of Exc ter was still in the field to-day, but it was not expected that he would fig ure prominently in the convention. The Churchill delegates went to the headquarters of their candidates in a joyous mood this morning because of rumor, which was not denied that the issues raised by Colonel Churchill in his campaign occupied the ma j0r portion of the platform which was tentatively adopted last night by the committee on resolutions. These Churchill delegates proclaimed that they had ''scored first blood'' and that they intended to follow up their advantage by placing upon that platform the man who they assert was responsible for it's creation.
 The first bollot resulted as follows: Greenleaf 232, Floyd 200, Pillsbury 205, Churchill 157, Gale IS.

BATTLE NOT ENDED Closed Only For the Present Says Samuel Compers About the Maine Election
LABOR WILL FIGHT ON

Washington, Sept 1S-"That bat tie in Maine. though closed at this time in the second district is not at an end. The contest was merely in- cidental to the task which labor has set itself to accomplish" said Presi- dent Samuel Gompers, of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor last night at Typographical Temple, where a re- ception was given in honor of the labor leaders who fought against Re- presentative Littlefields reelection in Maine. Not only MT Littlefield, but 'ncle Joe dared to reiterate that We stand for the licensing of criminal and unlawful conduct. We ask for equal rights before the law, as any other citizens. have 1t not in mind to say a word in criticism of the pre- sident other than this--the right of petition is the right of the American citizen guaranteed by the constitu- tion and neither the president nor congress can take that right away from him. Labor Is the only power in human society that represents the masses.
 Why did We begin the fight in Littlefield's district? Because the election was held there two months earlier than in the other states. If we had passed over this district, they would have said we were afraid. We were not afraid. The laboring peo- pie have outgrown the stopped back and receding forehead of the "man with the hoe" They now stand erect. They are waging fight against child labor and against the white plague. By securing better hours and higher wages, they will found better homes into which tuberculosis cannot enter"

CARPENTERS DISCHARGED.
School Appropriation Running Low and Board Will Curtail Expenses.

The hearts of the janitors and oth. CTS whose positions are in the hands | of the members of the board of edu- cation are rapidly beating because of the carpenters in the school de. pertinent being discharged to-day They are wondering what is coming This morning School Carpenters Thomas Quinn and Wilhelm Nell son of Alderman Joe Nell, demo- cratic representative from the first ward. were notified by Inspector Michael Slavin. undoubtedly acting under orders given by the members on the committee for school build ings. that their services were no longer needed as the appropriation was running low. Quinn and Nell did not know what to make of Mir Slavin's declaration, but of course did not have anything to say to the inspector. as they in all probability were of the opinion that he was act ing according to orders from those higher up.
 Inspector Slavin was seen this af- ternoon and asked what was the req son for the discharge of the school carpenters. He stated that the ap- propriation was almost gone and something had to be done. Mir Slavin said he did not have anything fur ther to say on the subject and would not declare whether he was acting on instructions received from the committee on school buildings.
 When Mayor Thoms was asked if he knew why the men were dis charged, he stated that he did not know that they had been let go. "I know the appropriation has been running low. but had not heard of the dropping of the men,"
 Although there was meeting of the board of education last evening. nothing was said about the school car penters. consequently when the story gp around today of the firing of Quinn and Nell. many wondered what was up. There will be much work done before the end of the year and there will he need for carpenters: 1t looks as if they will have to be hired by the day.

ALL UNDER TWENTY -0AE
Compelled to Leave the Factories Until They Have Perfected Them
 selves in English Language.

North Adams, Mass, Sept 1S.-The efforts of the local school authorities to stamp out illiteracy in this city following the passage by the last legislature of law intended to es- tAblish a high standard of education in Massachusetts, have met with marked success. Under the new law 1t became necessary for everyone un- der z1 years of age to prove his ability to read and write English suf- Hciently to pass an examination set by the superintendent of schools. Many boys and girls who were at work were unable to comply with this requirement.. Some of these had been. attending night school. but un- der the new arrangement they were tcompelled to give up their work and Attend day school until they could meet the provisions of the law. The school department established school especially for this class of pu- pils. Those who preferred, however, to attend the regular school in the district in which they lived were all lowed to do 50. As a result the new school opened with only eleven pu- piis, and after a few months this number was so reduced that the school was closed and the remaining pupils were transferred to the regu- lar schools. It was found that in the case of nearly all of these pupils. whether in the special or the regular schools, personal ambition and a de- sire to return to their work as soon as possible stimulated them to make the utmost efforts to gain sufficient knowledge of the English language to enable them to pass the prescribed examination. Practically all of them were foreigners. So well has tho new plan worked that this year only i've. minors have been found in the entire city who can neither read nor write English.

Stranding of Three Vessels in One
 Month Causes Trouble.

Honolulu, Sept 1S.-As result of the stranding of the Pacific Mail lin- CT Manchuria and the transport Sheridan. both on their way to the Orient, and now followed by the
 Mongolia striking reef near Mid way Island, all within less than a month, there is much congestion of passengers here and the long inter- ruptions of mails is causing great in- convenience. Many people who were travelling on important business are stranded here. Some of them intend 'ed sailing on the Mongolia, others on the Buford. The latter was sched. uled to sail for San Francisco last night but at ? o'clock yesterday af- ternoon the order was received to proceed to Midway Island. The Mid way trip is most unwelcome to steam- ship officers as the locality is notori- ously dangerous because of the reefs and currents. The tug IroQuois, the largest and most powerful tug in Honolulu will probably leave for Midway tomorrow.
