POLITICS IN NATIONAL GUARD
Plea for its Elimination in Report Of
| I''i' "'4e Brig Gen. Mills.


I Washington. Sept PA plea for
the elimination of politics, now more
or less influential in National Guard
matters in each state. is made in the
annual report of Brig. Gen. Mills,
commanding the department of the
gulf. Such a general recognition of the
National Guard status. says Gen.
Mills would also largely eliminate
another evil influence now only too
often exercised. the discrimination of
employers against employees who are
members of the National Guard"
Gen. Mills says that he believes a
large percentage of the new Spring
field rifles in the hands of the organ
lied militia in his department are
today unserviceable from rust and
neglect. This defect, he adds, cannot
be remedied until funds are forth
coming from national or state govern
ment for adequate armory buildings
A more liberal allowance of clothing
is advocated, particularly shoes, the
majority of which now cripple the
feet of their wearers even with mod
crate use.

The Democratic party has preached
this doctrine for IA years and in 1900 in

CATHOLIC CHARITIES.
First National Convention Opened At
Washington, D. c.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The first Nation
al Conference of Catholic Charities today
discussed charity work in all phases. The
conditions of Catholic charities through
out the country were described during
the day and tonight the Protection of
young girls in our large cities" and the
state and charity" were considered in
two sections of the conference which met
simultaneously.
Rev. p Mueller-Simona of Strassburg
made report on the International Asso-
citation for the Protection Of Young Girls
and set forth the dangers which confront
the girl who leaves home in search of
means of livelihood. The so-called white
slave traffic. he declared, was the great
est danger in the path of the girl The
number of these trafficers, men and wo-
men, he added. is immense. He advocat-
ed the creation of special central offices
of the association for the protection of
girls. located in the most important city
of each diocese and cooperation with
Catholic societies and homes for the pro-
lection of girls all over the world.
The conference received reports from
number of city committees on the
question Of the protection of girls.
Many causes We're assigned for the
downfall of girls, including cheap
dance halls connected with saloons,
cheap lodging houses and low wages.
The general conclusion of the reports
that the problem, was. one {, Of great
magnitude, and completely and that
probably the, best method to meet It
now is to- organize local city, commit
tees in which all charity organizations
will be represented and keep in touch
with the national conference.

NOT A CANDIDATE
But Gaynor Doesn't Say He Will Re-
fuse Nomination.

New York, Sept. 26.-Mayor Gaynor
issued tonight for the first time, a
formal statement that he is not a
candidate for the Democratic nomin-
alton for governor. Nowhere in the
statement does the mayor say, how
ever. what course he will pursue in
the event the nomination is thrust
upon him. He indicates that he pre-
fers to serve his full term as mapor
but at the same time he emphasizes
that he feels no moral obligation to
do so. The statement is dated St
James. l.. l., Sept. &c. and is in the
form of a letter to John A. Dix chair
man of the Democratic state commit
tee.

Democrats Seem
Afraid of Gaynor,

Rochester, N. Y, Sept. 26.-The op-
ponents of Mayor Gaynor devoted to-
day and tonight to preparation for
the struggle against his selection for
the head of the Democratic state tick
ct. which now seems likely To be the
distinguishing feature of the two days
remaining before the convention. The
extent of this opposition is difficult to
define. Friends Of Rep. James S. Hav.
ems of this city declare that it covers
the western half of the state; and some
Of the more enthusiastic assert that
there is no real demand for the mayors
nomination outside of New York. At
present the Ravens men head the anti
Gaynor forces, but when the support
ers Of the other candidates arrive they
hope to enlist their aid on the common
ground that the elimination Of Gaynor
is the first requisite toward ensuring
the success Of anybody else, no matter
from what section Of the state .he halls
The Havefls men admit that they
have no assurance Of the SUPPORT Of
William r. Hearst If their candidate
receives the nomination, but they call
attention to the fact that the New
York editor supported Mr.. Ravens
when he ran for Congress and hope
that this course indicates that Mr..
Hearst has forgotten the fact that
Ravens opposed him when Hearst ran
for governor in 1906.
Not even the New York leaders are
awaited with more curiosity here than
Norris M. Minton. the New York man
who has been circulating pro-Gayno,
literature in the name of the so-callec
League of Gaynor Clubs. Mr.. Minton
is the mystery of the pre-conventior
campaign. Mayor Gaynor has assert
ed that Mr.. Minton's activities on his
behalf are without his knowledge and
consent.
