and some Of them are too ugly, to be longer tolerated.
The Governor must by this time have become convinced tina.
he can serve his party better by serving the State faithfully than
by serving Tarnmany, Wall street and all the big financial interests
combined. Nor is it likely there will ever be a more advantageous
opportunity for self-assertion in the interests of the public than is
Afforded in this case.
The situation is both interesting and important. The issue is
large and affects the general welfare. If the Governor has the firm.
ness and the tact to make a winning fight on it the approval OF the
people will more than offset the hostility Of those whose schemes
may be blocked by disclosures.

DEMOCRAT STATESMEN
 BECOME REAL PEEV|SH
All Their Plans For Manufacturing Campaign Material Seem to Have
 Gone Aft Aeee.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Whi'e the time in gathering up loose ends and strengthening out the legal kinks pre- paratory to prosecution of the United States Steel corporation. the Stanley Steel Investigating committee of the house will meet tomorrow to resume it's work. Democratic politicians are very much "peeved" at Representative Stanley of Kentucky, and his commit tee. finding fault because the congress sional steel probers did not get out report before the committee adjourned As matters now stand. it is declared that the Stanley investigation is about las helpful to the democratic party as an extra tail would be to a dog.
 Democratic critics of their Blue Grass colleague say that President Taft and Attorney General Wicker sham. by beginning a prosecution of the steel corporation under the Sher- man anti trust law, have stolen the democratic thunder" Mir. WiCkersham himself has admitted that he has made considerable use of the evidence gath cred by the house committee. but he has stolen a march on the investiga- tors and the administration will get all the credit if the suit against the trust stands in the courts.
 It is also pointed out that the pro posed quizzing by the committee of Andrew Carnegie and J. r. Morgan is now almost useless. While the com- mittee still has the power to call Messrs Carnegie and Morgan to tes- tifv. they may refuse to answer any question they may consider unduly inn pertinent Both could fall back upon constitutional privilege of keeping mum. being defendants in a suit brought by the government.
 The Stanley committee will continue its inquiry. however, and will make use of the information acquired to study Legislation with the view of either the Sherman law or opposing such action There is much doubt eX- pressed among the congressional wise men and government officials as to whether competition can be restored to the state it was prior of the trust period and the dissolution suits now in progress will probably aid to deter mine that point.

SAME OLD QUESTION
 AGAIN TO THE FRONT
Amateur Athletes Will Try to Rid Themselves of the Scandal of
 Professionalism.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Delegates from all the sectional associations of the Amateur Athletic Union will meet tomorrow for the annual national con indoor national athletic championships, and Madison Square Garden was de cided upon as the place and December 26 and 2 as the dates for the great meet of the nations athletic stars The juniors will compete on the first date and the seniors will strive for the championships on the following night.
 Several questions of vital importance to the future of amateur sport are be- fore the convention. and on account of the alarming growth of professional tendecies among supposed amateurs several radical reforms have been pro- posed
 Decided opposition has developed among the athletes to the new two year release rule which the national union proposes to pass at today's meet ing The clause concisely states that an amateur athlete who cOmpetes for any club and wishes to wear the en- blem ot another organization must compete unattached" for two years unless released. At the present time the period is one year. and the ma jority of athletes consider this suffi cient punishment
 Officials of the union hold that by passing such a rule it would protect the smaller clubs from having their stars stolen away by the big clubs.
 Almost every association of the ma. tional body has a candidate for the presidency Among the candidates prominently mentioned are Charles II. Carter of the Boston Athletic associa . ton. G. F. Pawiing of tn Middle At lantic association. President Thomas Riley of the New England association. John J. O'Connor of St. Louis and GustavUs T. Kirby, chairman of the advisory board of the Intercolle- giate association, and an eX-president of that body. Kirby is considered to have the edge" in the race. An athlete himself some years ago when at Co., lumbia University, he has devoted years of study to the legislative end of amateur sports and is especially well qualified. With another set Of Olmpic games scheduled for next year, the election Of the proper man for presi- dent is of great importance.
