WILL BE WACED BY FARMERS
CANDIDATES THINK RAILROADS
WILL LOSE OUT
ATTORNEYS RESIGN POSITION
With the COmpanies-One Candidates
Threatens to Expose the
Scheme.

Muskogee, /. T., July lin
the rapidly approaching party fights
for nominations for offices in the
new state it is going TO be a astraight
out fight between the railroads and
the farmers, or the rural interest.
A majority of the men who are
already announced as candidates
for delegates to the constitutional
convention on up to the United
States senate seem to believe that
the railroads will lose out in their
fight to control the states politics.
This is apparent from the fact that
no sooner does a man get in the
notion that he is fitted for Office"
than be announces that he has no
connection with any railroad cor
poration.
Before RI. Williams spring his
candidacy for governor he resigned
his position as local attorney for
the NJ. K. & T. railroad and sent
in all of his railroad passess. This
he publicly announced. Henry M.
Furman, Of Ada. /. T., candidate
for the United States senate, goes
all over the state announcing that
he has eschewed all connection
with railroads and the only business
he has with them is to pay his fare.
w. A. Ledbetter, Of Ardmore, has
has announced his candidancy as a
delegate to the constitutional con-
vention. and in a letter to the press
announcing his candidacy TO states
he will resign two jobs as railroad
attorney.
c. L. Jackson, of Muskogee,
general solicitor for the M. K. &
t., wonld like TO be a delegate to
the constitutional convention but
admits it would be impolitic to try
to land the place. Judge c. B.
Stewart, Of McAlester, general sol
icitor for the Rock Island, frankly
admits that he would rather hold
his job than take the chances on
getting the nomination for the In
tied states senate, though it was ad-
mitted that he was the leading
democrat on the east side Of the
new state.
1t is claimed that a plot has been
discovered whereby the Santa Fe,
Rock Island and the NJ. K. & T.
are to make a concerted effort to
control the constitutional couven-
ton. The Rock Island and the
Santa Fe are to handle the demo
cratic side and the NJ. X. & T. the
republican. The railroads hope to
name enough men to dominate
both parties in the convention and
no matter which party wins the
railroads. If they succeed are in
control. A candidate for the I'm.
tied states senate in Oklahoma
claims that this proposition
was made to him him and his
reward was to be the support
of the railroads for the
senate. He threatens a complete
expose Of the scheme when he
thinks the proper time comes.

MINE WORKERS NEED NOT STAY |DLE|

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 14.-In the
address Of Mr.. L. ]. Ellis Of New York
at the Southern immigration congress
he made some remarks concerning i'm
migration and labor in the coal mines
that did not appear in the condensed
newspaper reports of his speech. On
that subject Mr.. Ellis said:
"The highly respected president Of
the United Mine Workers Of America,
Mr.. John Mitchell, in an argument at
a recent conference Of the immigration
committee Of the Civic Federation in
New York city in favor Of greater re-
striction of foreign immigration, made
statement which mas been industri-
ously circulated throughout the coun-
try.
IF the statement Is wholly true, it
would be valid and strong argument.
But it is not wholly true. 1t states only
part of the truth and deserves to ~
corrected The statement is: There
certainly must be room for improve
ment when in these days Of unprece-
denied prosperity 100000 mine work.
ers are allowed to work but 200 days
in the year in the collieries, and are
willing to work 800 days.
"A high authority shows the fallacy
of Mr.. Mitchells statement as an argu-
ment in the following language: In
the first place, 200 days is the average.
and in arriving at this average it must
be taken into account that there are
some mines that are almost disquali-
fled for service that they may not be
operated more than so or 100 days a
year. The more modern mines, and
those most favorably located, are able
to work and do work practically every
working day that the miners are will
ing to work.
Strikes and Holidays.
I'm the next place, Mr.. Mitchell, and
the organization Of which he is the
head, have repeatedly called the men
out on strike, and these strikes con-
tinue anywhere from 30 days to six
months. Even if these strikes were
inspired by high motives and were in
tended to benefit the miners, the fact
remains that they largely reduce the
average number of days that the men
worked in and about the mines.
For example, during the present

year there was a strike Of some dura-
ton in the anthracite region entirely
due to the action of Mr.. Mitchell and
his organization, and practically all
the bituminous mines in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas, Indian Territory and Texas
were idle during all of April and May,
and some Of them during a part of
June and others during the entire
month OF June.
'"The average number Of days the
men work is also reduced by the diff
ferent holidays observed by the miners.
Labor day, the eight-hour day, John
Mitchell day, Virden day and other
such days are more Or less observed
throughout the country. Then there
are the holy days and saints days,
in many sections of the country.
Have the Fever.
after each pay day there are many
men who remain away from work with
an attack Of payday fever Frequently
excuses are found for either shutting
down the mines or for a considerable
percentage of the men to remain away
from work whenever there is funeral
of someone directly, indirectly or re-
motely connected with the mining fra
ternity.
IF, as Mr.. Mitchell says, the men
really desired to work 300 days in the
year the mine owners would only too
gladly operate their mines, for upon
the steady operation of the mines their
business success depends. Every coal
mining company is subject to fixed
charges which must be paid on days
when the mine is idle as we'll as on the
days when the men work. There is ev-
cry reason why the owners Of the
mines should wish to work 800 days in
the year, and there is no good reason
why they should wish to work only
the minimum number of days. There
is today a scarcity of good miners in
many sections of the country, if not
in all sections of the country.
There is not time to go into a COM
plete examination Of figures, but let us
take as an example and illustration
lieries Of the anthracite coal fields of
Pennsylvania. The average days work.

The race for quarterback shows a
surprising result in that neither little
Jones Of Yale figures in the lead. For
the first half Of the season at least
these two players had been supposed
back Of the line. Dillon, however, Is
the choice of only one expert, Chad
wick, while the best Jones can do is to
get in as substitute in two Of the line
ups. Norton, the clever quarter Of the
navy, and Libby Of the Indians, each
is picked for the all-American or ALL
eastern combination by two of the team
makers. Norton is the choice of the

pass him by Mayhem made bril-
liant record during the latter part OF
the season, especially, and deserves
undoubtedly a place near the top. The
only other back to get more than one
vote outside of Mayhem is Veeder or

and the Telegram. Hollenbeck Of the
quakers is selected as one back by the
Sun, Walders Of Cornell by the Post,
Douglas of the navy. by the Herald

Opinion is pretty evenly divided as
to the fullback position between Wen

Post critics favor the crimson star,
while the Herald and the World pick
Morse. Hollenbeck of Pennsy is the
choice Of the Telegram man. McCor-

those named for substitute fullback.

EAST TEAMS STRONG NEXT YEAR

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-College men
are busy canvassing the prospects Of
next years football teams. The out
look at the most of the colleges by rea-
son of the prohibition of freshmen from
playing in varsity teams is distinctly
promising. The youngsters, by their
year teams, and are in fine position
to step in and fill vacancies as they oc-
cur in the regular teams.
Yale suffers the largest losses of any
of the leading teams. Every man with
the exception Of Dimes and Tad Jones.
who played in the back field at Yale,
is lost by graduation, and in addition
Forbes and Torrey, ends; Erwin, tackle
and Giles and Hockenberger, centers,
are gone. These leave vacancies which
only sophomores can fill. Fortunately
for Yale there are a number Of good
men among the youngsters. Coy at full
back, Cooney, Murphy, Cutler, Rowen,
Smith and Eames are especially prom
Using.
Princeton loses Cooney and Herring,
her tackles; Herbert Dillon and Daub,
guards, and HIGHLAND, end, depicting her
line almost completely. All the backs
return. For the vacancies Of McFayden
from Exeter and Seigling from Law
renceville would make good guards, it
is said. Buckingham at tackle and
Rryer and Waller. who played in 1908.
but was ineligible this year, are also
available. O'Brien, another ineligible
this year, is likely as an end, while
Jones and Gill of the freshmen are
promising.
Harvard loses Captain Foster behind
the line and Lockwood, a substitute.
In the line she loses Fraser at center
Kersburg at guard and both Osborne
positions except Kersburg's she has al
ready a capable substitute.
Pennsylvania is in better position
than any of the others. Only Law
renee, the promising quarterback, and
Levene, her star end, go. Dwyer, Zieg-
Ter, Gallagher, CASTOR, Lavery, Draper,
Rogers and Scarlet are all available
for the line, with Hollenbeck, Folwell
and Greene behind it.
Cornell retains practically her entire
team. She loses Newman at center;
Sailor, substitute fullback; Pollack,
substitute quarterback, and Damn, sub
stitute tackle.

Now there are twenty-nine holidays
in these districts which are observed
by the English and foreign miners in
pennsylvania. The nature Of mining Is
such that If any considerable number
OF men quit all are thrown into idle
ness, because the colliery cannot run.
Accordingly the holidays observed bv
the English miners compel the foreign
ers to take a holiday, and HOLIDAYS
which are observed by foreign miners
IN turn compel the English to lay of
