INDIAN BY 10000
ELECT THE EN-
TIRE STATE TICKET.

: INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, November RE
turns that have come in from the various
county seats indicate that the entire repub-
lican ticket is elected by $4,000 to $4,000
plurality. President Roosevelt carried the
state by 93, 944 two years ago.
There was a great deal of scratching OF
tickets in all parts of the state, but this
mainly affected local candidates In the
eleventh district Fred Lands has suffered
considerably from disaffected republicans,
but his friends say he is elected by re-
duced majority. There seems little doubt
that the republicans will have ten national
representatives, loss Of one, but the party
leaders will not ,concede any loss until fuller
adviceS are received.

Plan to Consolidate Organiza-
tiOns of Operating Officials.
Four Famous Railway AssOcia-
tiOns Would Lose Identity.
ONE LARGE CONGRESS.
Many Advantages Claimed Along
Line of Uniformity Of Effort.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.
ONE LARGE CONGRESS

A movement has been started among
the operating officials of the railroads
of the country to bring about a con-
solidation of the four principal associa-
tions dealing with the operation of the
roads, the American Railway associa-
tion, the American Engineering and
Maintenance of Way association, the
Master Car Builders association and
the American Railway Master Mechan-
les association.
The advocates of the plan assert that
the advantages to be secured in the
amaIgamation of these four organiza-
tions into one body are manifest, as
the object of each is directed to one
mai- purpose, and this can be more
economically, efficiently and readily at
tanned if all work conJointly and toward
a common end.
The work of the four associations is
independent but as at present organ
lied, it is pointed out, much valuable
time and effort are lost or misdirected,
which, under one organization. would
be utilized to the fullest extent and
accrue to the greatest benefit of the
railways. All cOmmercialiSm, it is Sug-
gested, should be eliminated from the
work of the organization devoted to
the cause of railway operation, and it
therefore is proposed that the member
shin of the consolidated body should be
restricted to transportation companies.
On the other hand, all officers of rail-
ways members of the consolidated body
would receive the benefits of member
ship through its proceedings, which
should be widely disseminated among
the officers of the members. This now
is not possible under the individual
membership of some of the railway or
ganizations without expense to the in
dividuai.
It is proposed that committee on
organization, composed of three mem
bers from each of the four present
railway organizations, be selected to
carry out the plan.
The name suggested for the eonsoi-
dated association is the American
Railway Congress. A provisional con-
stitution already has been drafted It
provides for the division of the pro-
Section A. on transportation; section
B, on maintenance of way; section C,
