ROADS TO WHACK OFF
MORE CHEAP RATES
Certificate Plan Will Likely Be
Abolished.

From rumors it is understood that
the railroads operating N Georgia
will abolish in the gerry near future
the certificate plan by which lower
rates can be secured for meetings or
occasions including a stated atten-
dance or over.
The original plan was to allow each
member of party of 100 or more, a
rate of one cent per mile plus % cents
for the return trip.
This was later revised by the rail-
roads little and a smaller party
of fifty or more were allowed the
same rate. The action Of the railroads
in abandoning such a rule is said to
be caused by the recent reduction of
passenger fare in the State.
The rule of granting military, thea
trical and other companies, reduced
rates was abolished recently and it is
said the interchangeable one thous-
and mile books will likely go also

On the other hand, if Burton should
be defeated the cause of Secretary
Taft would be given decided set
back in Ohio that would be of great
aid and comfort to the Foraker fore

nounced his belief that Johnson is
invincible and that Burtons nomina-

blunder that will cost Taft the presi-
Dental nomination.
No one can defeat Johnson. declare
the Foraker followers, and Burton's
nomination means his elimination
from Ohio political affairs and a new
lineup of politicians throughout
northern Ohio.

Great Contest Is Started

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. IS. (Spec-
iaD-At the Democratic city conyen-
ton here tomorrow Mayor Tom John
son will be again selected to become
the standard bearer of the party in
the coming municipal campaign, OPP
posing Congressman Theodore E.
Burton, who was recently nominated
for mayor by the Republicans. The
contest between these two men of
national fame promises to be among
the most exciting ever held in an
American city and will attract the
attention of the entire country.
Mr.. Burton's candidacy has been
endorsed by President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft, and it remains to be
seen whether Mayor Johnsons great
personal popularity will be sufficient
to overcome the opposition Of men in
high places.

A Picturesque Fight.

1t is believed that President Roose-
welt will make a speech fayoring
Burton's election during the cam
paign, and William Jennings Bryan
and other national leaders of the
Democracy have promised to come to
the aid of Johnson. Already the great
est enthusiasm is manifested by the
partisans of both sides and the strug-
gle will undoubtedly be more pic
turesque than any ever known in
Cleveland, not excepting campaigns
in which the late Senator Hanna was
the central figure.
That Congressman Burton has an
eye on the presidency is the belief of
many Cleveland politicians, who de-
clare that Roosevelt is bent not only
on selecting his successor in Office
but also his successors successor.

Burton Men Hopeful.

According to Mr. Burtons polit-
ical managers, his success in the
mayorality race is already assured,
but they add that it will in no way
effect his probable candidacy for
Senator Foraker's seat in the senate.
Mr. Burton will retain his seat in the
house of representatives. and the
craftsmanship of the rivers and har-
bors committee at least until after
the mayoralty election, which will be
held in November
The platform on which Mr. Burton
was nominated attacks Mayor John
sons administration for allowing the
public works department to drag and
for increasing the bonded indebted
ness of the city. The immediate set
tlement of the street car question at
no less than seven tickets for TWEEN

of franchise is to be twenty years,
with a readjustment of fares every

Johnson on His Record.
The road is to be subject to the
right Of the city to purchase at the
end OF the twenty years.
These demands, it is alleged by
the Democrats, were found necessary
as a result of the campaign for mum
icipal reform waged by Mayor John
son since his election to Office and
which has attracted national attention.
The Democratic platform adopted at
tomorrow's convention will re-
affirm the we'll known pro-
gram of Mayor Johnson and
points to the many betterments
instituted since he has occupied the
Office of chief executive OF Cleve-
land
The coming campaign will not be
the first in which Burton and John
son have faced each other on the field
of political battle 1t was Burton
who defeated Johnson for congress af-
ter the latter had served two terms
in the national legislature, having
been previously elected as Demo-
crat in a district which was largely
Republican.

HELSINGFORS, Finland, May 23.-
The first single chamber diet of Fin
land organized under the new const1-

and they adjourned to wait the emper-

The coalition of Socialists and young
Firms, as anticipated, had complete
control of the elections, polling 1874 out

the third office filled to the old Firms.
Not one of the nineteen women depu-

some of them received scattering votes.
Judge Svinhufvud, a member OF the
young Finn party, who was degraded
from tho bench and driven into exile
under the regime of the late Gov. Cen
eral Bobrikoff, was elected president.
DIR. Afursin, Socialist, and Baron Pal

officials participated in the session,
which was called to order by the Oldest
deputy, Isaac Helkta, an aged peasant
of Lapland.
The officers when, elected stepped
from the hall beneath a bronze statue
of the lion of Finland, and promised to
defend the rights of the emperor and
grand duke, the diet, and the Finnish
people, in accordance with the consti-
tuition
The other members of the diet were
required to take an oath or make an
affirmation of fidelity to the crown.
The bilingual character of the diet
was evident throughout. The speeches
were delivered indifferently in Finnish
or Swedish, but the president of the
diet, although habitually Finnish,
needs to know both languages in order
to properly submit motions to the
house. In accordance with the Finnish
idea there was no applause.
The Socialists have decided to absent
themselves from the formal opening
of the diet Saturday so as to avoid
recognizing the emperor and the COVER

BIDS FOR ARMY MOUNTS
KEEP GETTING HIGHER
By Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, May 23.-Increased
difficulty is being experienced in OBJ
tanning horses and mules for the army.
Bids which have just been opened show
that prices generally have increased
For the cavalry 725 horses are to be
bought at an average price of $175 each.
The artillery corps is to buy nearly
$780, for which $211 is the average price.
Army mules heavy enough to do draft
work bring $1SS each, and nearly 300 Of
these have been contracted for. Lead
mules, somewhat lighter in weight
bring $16S, and pack mules, still lighter,
$131.
The quartermaster's department says
that army mules are bought practically
by the pound.
An experiment is being made at Fort
Riley, Kas., in buying yearly small
number of pedigreed colts and putting
them through a course of training for
the cavalry service. This experiment
has proved beneficial and thirty-six of
these blooded horses have just been
purchased.
