DOOMED FOR PRESIDENT

1t has frequently been suggested that as the
south furnishes the greater portion of the Demo-
cratic vote. the next candidate of that party for
president should be southerner.
Recent events have given Gov. Robert b. Glenn
of North Carolina so much prominence that many
in his section have begun to boom him the COM

although the governor himself disclaims any ambi-
ton for that honor.
Gov. Glenn set himself in what appeared to be
attitude of opposition to federal authority after

prevent the enforcement of an oppressive new
state law requiring, under confiscatory penalties

APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT.

Cincinnati, o., Feb. 2S.-The contrac-
tors association of the United States
has appealed to President Roosevelt
in an effort to obtain relief from the
law which imposes a limitation of
eight hours day for work on govern
ment contracts. That fact developed
here today during discussion con-
cerning the Sheridan-Kirk company,
which has the contract for building
dam in the Ohio river. The Sheridan
Kirk company was convicted in the
federal court here of violation of
the terms of the eight-hour law. 4
strict application of the law, it is
claimed, operates to make work on
government work comparatively un-
desirable for laborers, because they
are able to obtain better wages else
where, where the eight-hour limit is
not effective.

there will be oral argument heard at

the question will be considered after
the commission returns to Washing

brought the statement from Controller
Mahl that the financial statements
were not sent to the Southern Pacific
stockholders for several months be-

this in contradiction of Harriman's

When the interstate commerce
commission resumed its inves-

today, it was with the understanding
that a few hours would conclude the
hearing. 1t was said by counsel for
the government today that no steps
had yet been taken to place before the
courts the question raised by the re-
fusal of Hartman and Kahn to answer
certain inquiries relating to individual
holdings of stocks. Kellogg, of the
government consuel, said he was not
prepared to state what action would
be taken in this matter. Before the
hearing began it was said that, con-
