Hot Fight For Judgeship.

Democrats m Arizona, relying on the ability of the Democratic leaders in the United States senate to pre- vent the confirmation of any of President Tait's appointees. includ- ing a federal judge for Arizona, arc beginning to line up behind the mum erous Democratic candidates for that office who have come out of the woods since the election.
 The latest and most formidable candidate to be put forth for tha, honor is A. A. Worslcy of Tucson Wor sley's friends will insist on a direct primary for the recommends. ton oi a Democrat for the office in the event it is not filled before March {. under the law passed by the last legislature providing for the recommendation of a man for nom ination as federal judge and confr- nation by the senate, and Worsley will be leading candidate. He will be opposed in all probability by All fred Franklin. present chief justice of the state supreme court, II. r. Parsons of Douglas, Assistant A,;or- ney General Carpenter and several other minor legal lights but Worsley counts on the entire Socialist support and the voters of all the radical Democrats. With the opposition di- viding the Democratic voters, and the united Socialist support, he should win in walk. his friends say.
 It has leaked out that if the nomi. nation of a federal judge is left to President Wilson. reactionary influ- ences in the Democratic party in the state will urge the president not to wait for the primary law to be invoked but to send in a name i'm. mediatcly before the primary act can be resorted to. In such an even, il is said that w. II. Sawtelle of Tue son, one of the original Wilson men in the state, will be dark horse can didate and will have the inside track. He is said to be the favorite of Eugene s. Ives for the place and it is known that Senator Ives has the ear of the president by reason of his gallant fight for Wilson's nomina- ton at the Baltimore convention.

to the international executive board
The officers of District IL appeared
and presented their case and the

ers' Journal.
1.-THE investigation Of the commit

1851 and T. l.. Lewis $40, or ma

MONEY USED IN ELECTION.
indications are that the vote of
other large local unions in various
sections of the country was interfered
with and money used to influence the
election. This is indeed a deplorable
state of affairs, and those who viii
resort to such corrupt practice and
whose connection herewith can be
proven without any question of doubt
should be expelled from the organiza-
ton. The vote of every local union
must be accounted for, and if we can
not have honest elections dissolution
will follow. If deemed advisable it
might be well TO authorize the board
to make a further investigation"
Money from "a mysterious source"
was used in an effort to establish a
rival organization in western Penn
sylvania during the last year, the
president declared. Though the Sc
cession failed, he reported, Influence
and energy were gathered from all
sources to make this dual movement
a success, and the United Mine Work
ers ought TO analyZe in their own
minds and weigh well these circum-
stances. 1t became a matter of curl
Gus concern among many to under
stand from what source these numer
Gus individuals who have been oper-
ating in the various districts received
their income, for it is the opinion of
many who were competent to judge
that they had no means of support
aside from their labor"

Discussing various aspects of the
coal mining industry and the progress
of the United Mine Workers, the
president report continued:
The plan most feasible for bring
ing about the organization of the IN

thoughtful consideration.

sentiment for organization exists III

note that the death toll is appalling
Notwithstanding that the organization

1t would appear that human
life is held too cheap and when we
compare the casualties in the coal

OF other nations, we find that they
are greater than in any other coal

! When Mule Deal Was on.

army officers were here recently and
saw pair of mules which they want
ed to buy for the government. A
Spotsylvania farmer, the owner, asked
$50. When the officers offered to take
charge Of the animals the owner de-
clined to part with them except for
cash.
He was told the Government never
paid cash for anything, but that the
bills would have to be submitted and
approved before check would be sent.
The owner was unwilling to trust the
mules even to the Government. He has
great confidence, however in Capt.
M B. Rowe, of this city, and he in
formed the officers that if they would
get Captain Rowe to guarantee to him
that payment would be made he would
let the mules go.
Captain Rowe readily signed guar
antee which he gave to the farmer.
who accepted it as satisfactory. In
due course the check came by mail
and the farmer was satisfied.
