Special Correspondence Of The Star.
RICHMOND. Va, January Z. 1910.
The formal announcement Of candidacy
on the part Of Representatives Glass and
Jones for seats in the United States Sem
ate from Virginia in opposition to Sena-
tors Martin and Swanson Is being await
ed with more or less Impotence on the
part Of the people Of the state. These
gentlemen have signifed their intention
OF becoming candidates and several
dates have been fixed for receiving the
declarations. but they have not yet
come.
The alignments for the suggested can
didates and the avowed candidates are
under way, and they are pretty much
along the same lines OF former align
ments-the ins against the outs. There
are few. who hesitate to declare that the
campaign will be two-sided instead of
four-cornered. 1t is accepted that Glass
and Jones will work together and that
Martin and Swanson will not be
estranged in the contest.
It is along these lines that preferences
are being expressed and prophecies made
will be one that will prove Of unusual
interest there is not the least doubt pro-
vided that Messrs. Glass and Jones agree
to enter the contest. Mr.. Glass is versed
in politics, a speaker of strength, has
many admirers and can be depended on
to force the fighting from the drop of
the flag. Mr.. Jones is not novice in
politics. and on the stump he has al
ways been regarded as formidable. Mr.
Jones has never been a supporter of the
regime now in control in Virginia, while
Mr.. Glass has given cordial support to
the nominees of the party.

The Importance of automobiles as
freight is strikingly illustrated by the
construction of railroad cars specially de-
signed for this class of traffic.
In many respects the automobile car
is different from the company's ordinary
type of box car. 1t has an end door. the
fun width of the car The side doors are
extra wide and are staggered" that is,
they are not opposite each other. The
object of this arrangement is to allow
automobiles to be loaded and unloaded

The difference is this: Goodyear No
'Rim-Cut tires don't need to be hooked to
the rim. Through the base on each side
we run s. braided wires-a feature which
we control.
These wires make the base unstretch-
able. When the tire is inflated the wires
contract. A pressure of l34 pounds to
the inch then holds the tire TO the rim.
Other makers. to get rid of this hook.
use a single wire or hard rubber base.
But both are impracticable. The braided
wires. which contract under air pressure.
are absolutely essential to a safe hook
less tire.
In addition to this. Goodyear No-Rim-
Cut tires are 10 per cent over the rated size.
That means 10 per cent more tire at no
extra cost. With the average car that
adds Is per cent to the tire mileage. be-
cause it avoids overlooking. You getthe
advantages without extra cost when you
specify Goodyear No-Rim- Cut tires.

The picture shows how Goodyear No
Rim-Cut tire fits any standard rim for
ouick-detachable tires. Also demountable

Note that the rim flanges. which are re.
movable. are turned to hook outward with
No-Rim-Cut tires. There are no hooks
on the base to hook into the rim. as there
are on other tires. The rounded fange
comes next to the tire casing. and rim
cutting is made impossible.

If the transmission appears unusually
noisy on cold days the trouble probably
will be found to be due to hardening
or thickening of the lubricant. II the
latter becomes sufficiently hard the
gears will merely cut channel through
it and they will not be properly lubri-
Gated. The remedy is simple and consists
Of adding little oil to that already in
the transmission case or removing 1t
all and substituting a lighter grease or

of this tollgate is that it never has co..

of a failure to name motor cars spe-
officially the owners decided to take no
chances on trying to collect for them.

REPuDIATE THE M'NAMARAs
Vermont Unions Condemn Their
Acts and Favor Full Penalty.


MONTPELIER. Dec. 3.-Interviews with
heads of the various labor unions In
this city and Barre, including James
Mulch OF Barre, secretary OF the Yer
mont State branch Of the American
Federation OF Labor and Alexander
Ironsides of Barre, president OF the
same association, regarding the Nc
Namara confessions and their effect
on union labor indicate that Vermont
unionism, while at rrst supporting
the McNamaras to the extent OF an
assessment OF % cents each for the
defense fund. is now unanimous in
condemning their acts.
All express surprise at the TACT
the brothers should commit such
dastardly crime and regret that union
labor has been imposed upon. The
general sentiment is that the men
should now suffer the full penalty OF
the law and many favor division
of the defense fund among the famil-
les OF the Il victims OF the Times
disaster. Many believe the McNa-
maras we're either deranged or that
they were led astray by their zeal
Most of the union men interviewed
are of the belief that while enemies
of union labor will make all possible
use OF the episode against unionism,
sensible men OF business will be able
TO see that the Times and Llewellyn
explosions were the acts OF individu-
ais and not of organized labor, which
now as strongly condemns the acts
of the McNamaras as II formerly de-
Tended them as supposedly innocent
men.
Another 25-cent assessment for the
defense fund was to have been made
here within a short time.

LuNN TO SOCIALISTS
Mayor Elect Lunn Addresses New
York Audience

New York, Dec. 4--Dr. Lunn, may
or-elect of Schenectady, N. Y, the
first Socialist candidate ever elected
mayor of New York state city, ad-
dressed large Socialist rally at the
Carnegie Lyceum tonight and pleaded
for peaceable relief from industrial
slavery.
THE nation is not tending but rath-
er rushing toward new social or
der" he said, land we do not need
momentum. What we need is steer
ing.
THE success of President Taft's po-
icy as well as that OF the demoniacal
Democratic party to break up the
trusts" he continued, would mean
industrial chaos. The Sherman anti
trust law is standing indictment
against the common sense Of our plu-
tocratic politicians. The trust organ
ization is a magnificent machine for
efficient production In itself 1t Is
neither good nor bad. The evil eff
fects are ultimately determined by
the fact of ownership. Owned by a
few. this big machine will be utilized
for private profits, and the lives Of
the workers will be made subservient
to the desire for dividend. Owned
by the people this big machine would
be utilized for the common welfare
Of all, isolated in the interests of all
the people. The nation will remain
one small part industrially free and
the great mass slave, until the social
means of production are owned by the
people.
Socialism is today making its APP
peal to the higher instincts of the
race. Our fight for freedom is not
simply for America, but for the world.
But we have our own big American
problems. We demand the recon
struction of the industrial and social
order. Equal division of money,
equal division of property is not the
purpose of Socialism, but the Wild
rawlings of indignant opponents"
