Stratton represents progress and up

the product of the Peekskill plant will
be asked to show cause why they have
not done so. MIR. Stratton believes in

PATTERSON'S SPEECH.

With this issue we present in supple
ment form the opening speech of Gen.
Malcom r. Patterson, the democratic
nominee for governor of Tennessee.
We want you TO read it, and you will
agree with us that it is the greatest po-
litical speech delivered in Tennessee
since the civil war. Gen. Patterson's
friends were confident he would meas
ure up to the occasion, but they are
more than pleased with the effort. It
goes at each subject in the most direct
manner and leaves no one in doubt as
to his attitude upon any matter. With
out word of abuse he absolutely an
initiates Hon. Fl. Clay Evans and
makes the latters election in Tennessee
impossible. He puts Mr.. Evans to the
bad on the temperance question by re-
cent history, and elimina tes him from
the race by showing his extraordinary
attitude upon the force bill as taken in
his opening speech, showing that Evans
did not know what bill he voted for or
was ashamed to admit it. Mr.. Patter-
sons speech will please democrats, and
thousands OF republicans will not be
able to escape the force of his logic
Mr.. Evans is a strong man but he can
rot stand before Patterson, and no one
knows this better than Mr.. Evans, hence
his refusal of joint discussion.
There is not an idle word in the
speech and not one that is unparlia-
mentary or that can be legitimately OBJ
iected to by his opponents. He goes
to the public record made by Mr.. Evans
and gets facts with which he makes O
terrific arraignment of the man. II
these convict him at the polls it is moi
the fault of Mr.. Patterson, for he did
not make the record.
The speech throughout shows that
Mr.. Patterson is one of the biggest
men in public life today, and Tennes
see could not have made stronger
nomination. He is statesman in al
that term implies, and democrats nee(
have no fear OF his election. The clos
ing peroration referring to the South
it's good women and brave men, wa
an oratorical flight that has possibly
never been equalled in Tennessee. 1
will bring tears to your eyes and nerv,
to your heart and you'll vote for Han
Patterson or die.

STEEL TRADE IS BOOMING
Earnings of September, October and

Terre Haute, Ind, Feb. 2.-Sena-
tor Hemenway's resolution. calling
for the results of the tests of Indi-
ana coal at the Government testing
station at the st. Louis worlds fair
grounds will make public facts that
will be of great value to the mining
industry of the State, and also aid
in bringing in new industries.
1t has been known for some time
but unofficially, and to certain de-
gree, confdentially, that Indiana coal
for steam making and producer gas
purposes had outclassed most of the
other bituminous Goals of the central
Western fields.
The chemical analysis reports,
from time to time, had not been so
favorable, but this Government test
ing station has demonstrated that
chemical analysis and actual test did
not always produce the same result.
Coal from one Indiana mine had been
reported on unfavorably by chemists
for producer gas purposes, but Terre
Haute industries find it the best they
have used for that particular pur-
pose.
Indiana operators were slow at
first in taking advantage Of the offer
by the st. Louis station. Three
mines sent coal something more than
year ago. They were not in the
field proper, and the showing was not
good. Since then coal from all
parts Of the field has been tested.
The report in reply to Senator Hem
enway's resolution will say that In
diana coal will make from 100000
to $4,000 feet Of producer gas to a
ton, or seven cubic feet of illuminat-
ing gas to pound of coal.
A 240-horsepower engine operated
by gas made from coal taken out of a
mine across the Wabash river from
Terre Haute was run thirty-fve min
utes with $50 pounds Of coal. There
is also to be figured in this cost the
tar acquired in the gas-making pro-
cess. Putting the price Of coal at
81 ton for producer gas-making-
it is much less in Terre Haute due to
low transportation charges-and al.
lowing So day for two men at two
producers which will make 2,900,00(
feet of gas in day, the cost is less
than cents thousand, which, con
sidering heat units, is the same as
natural gas at cost Of about
cents.

KILLS SMOKING IN OHIO

On the face of it-one section

ployed in owning or keeping, such

the cigarette smokers lies in the
courts, which are expected to eon-
