Completing Details for Y. NJ. C. As
Big Event.

In order to provide for the complete
protection OF the runners and the con-
venience OF the spectators at the finish.
the managers Of the Y. NJ. C. A. New
Year day cross-country run have Sc
cured permission from the superintendent
of public buildings and grounds to stretch
wire ropes on both sides OF the bride
path at the finishing tape. This will pro-
vide clear lane of twelve feet wide 100
yards before the finish is reached and
quite distance beyond. Three or four
marshals and a half dozen park police
men will assist the officials of the run in
keeping the lane clear. Marshals will
also be stationed at the turning point on
the road to Fort Myer. where the road
was blocked by automobiles last year.
and the runners will be given every pos
sible chance to make fast time and break
the record for the course.
Although entries for the run do not
close until December 81. some of the long
distance athletes have already sent their

 "The history of what occurred in Arkansas will serve as an illustra- tion Mir. Fairbanks had many friends in the Republican party in the state' and q large proportion of party fa- vored and uninstructed delegation. In March 1908. a meeting of the state committee nearly all of the members of which were offlce-holders, was held and vote of 70 to was boiled against sending an instructed 1ele- gation to Chicago. Following this the leaders of the party including MT. Remmel, U. s. marshal of the eastern district, MT. U. s. Mayes, [. s. marshal of the western district. and NIr. Bratton who was dismissed from the office of the district attOr- ney, but at present is said to be seek ing another federal position, were called to Washington where they met Gen Powell Clayton who has ,! been at the head of the state ma ! chine for many years. On their re- turn they set to work to secure an l instructed delegation and ill the state : convention held in April, it was voted to send q delegation instructed to vote for Mr. Taft And the contest ! ing delegates were overruled by the state committee which was in control of the machine, and the delegates of the Clay ayton-Remmel machine were : the only ones recognized in the state convention or at Chicago. Illustra- tions, of a similar nature could be drawn from the history of what oc- cured in Tennessee, Kentucky and Texas

SOME POLITICAL ABUSES.

The National Civic Service Reform League last week issued bulletin which throws some much needed light upon the Republican machine in the South and more particularly in Ar kansas. 1t shows, among other things that, the 'insurgent" wing of the Republican party has good and sufficient casus belli and. moreover, that there is every reason to believe that the machines politics is of a sort that exists for revenue only, hav- ing no regard either for patriotism or good government.
 The following extract from the preamble by the editor of current bulletin will be read with interest by Republicans and Democrats who are working for reform and the abo- lition of practices which can serve only to degrade American politics.
 ''The official role of delegates to the Republican National Convention s< No1NO6O WAS AOaAp0A CN OASA tAC latest government blue book. It. was found that of the delegates to the Chicago convention federal offlce- holders constituted one in ten anu of the delegation from the Southern states nearly. one in three.. and of some Southern states, more than half.
 These ofice-holders were poli:i- cal, that is, outside of the jurisdic- tion of the civil service act, and in most cases their appointment was subject to confirmation by the United States Senate
 The office holders In the South practically controlled the Republican party organization in their respective states, and frequently resort to un- lair means in order to retain their power
 Their support is a tremendous po- litical asset to any candidate fol nomination. AS the Southern Demo cratic states have as many votes ir the Republican National Convention as the Republican states of equa population. under ordinary circum stances the Southern delegates woul. W 4 q t

from each county and tWenty-One members at large. Out of the ninety eight members of this committee forty-two are federal office-holders. In addition there is an executive committee composed of eighteen mem- bers selected from the state commit tee. Of this committee ten are office holders. F. w. Tucker, Collector or Internal Revenue is chairman of both committees. The circular issued by chairman Tucker says: ITO the ex- ecutive committee is referred all presidential offices when vacancies occur. * The chairman rec ommends all minor appointments up- on consultation with the state com- mitteemen in the counties where they occur For more than thirty years this executive committee and General Powell Clayton have con- trolled both of these committees and the state conventions, and the dele cations to the national conventions. They have had struggles to meet, but in one way or aanother they have succeeded in defeating opposition. These struggles always end when continuance of the organization con- trol is assured. Their party is in a hopeless minority, and voting at elec- tions is largely formal matter. If it were not for appearances no state nominations would be made. Some years ago, only candidate for gov ernor was made. It is charged that there are several instances in the past twenty years where congress- men might have been elected but the machine succeeded in preventing it for in such cases, the distribution of the federal offices would pass out of it's hands. Tn practice the commit tee names the officers to the state convention who ill turn name the committee on credentials and the con- vention thus formed names the next committee. .,3
 The official minutes of a meeting ! of the state central committee of Arkansas May 90 are interesting:
 The chairman H. l.. Remthel, (U. s. marshaD stated that the meeting was one to hear the contests and rec
 ommend temporary officers to the state convention. The secretary, w. IS. Holt, (postmaster at Little Rock) stated that there were no contests Powell Clayton moved that e. N. Kicks be recommended as temporary chairman of the convention land this was carried. On motion of U. K.
 Barnes, (U.' s. District Attorney) w. s. Holt, (postmaster of Little, Rock) vas recommended as temporary se- cretary, U. s. Marshal Remmel stated that he intended to give up the chair
 manship. Colonel Whipple fU. s. District Attorney offered resolution of thanks for Remmels services
 which was adopted after amendment offered by Colonel Brizzalora, (post- master at Fort Smith,. On motion of J. K. Barnes, (U. S.. attorney) the thanks of the committee were extend-
 ed to the secretary w. s. Holt, (post-
 master at Little Rock). The con- ] mittee discussed the advisability of
 putting out a full state ticket, but it
 was decided to recommend to the
 convention to nominate only a cand;-
 dae for governor. rs
 The state.convention was held the ]. next day and the slate above .prepar- ed went through without a jan The
 convention vas called tp order by
