POLITICS
DAY BY DAY
Harmon Managers Encouraged.

According to advices received at the
Harmon national headquarters. in the
New Ebbitt, from callers and by mail.
democrats throughout the country are
giving vastly greater attention to the
vote-getting qualities of the respective
aspirants for the presidential nomination
than in any pre-convention campaign in
third of a century. Within the last
few days there has been a general awak-
enng to the realization that Gov. Har-
mon is the one candidate of those men
toned who can carry at the November
election the great states of New York,
Ohio and Indiana, whose electoral votes
are absolutely essential for democratic
success and without which defeat would
DC assured.
hundreds of letters are received daily
from prominent democrats in all sections
giving the results of their impartial OBJ
servdtiOn requested by Manager
Robert Is. Gordon. This consensus OF
oponion strengthens the belief. en-
tentained all along by those who are
conducting Gov. Harmon'S canvass, that
the Buckeye candidate will surely re-
ceive the nomination at Baltimore, there
by assuring a tremendous democratic
tidal wave in November"

strike at a time when every fashionable

not come from the arbitration committee
appointed last year at the close Of a
similar strike the association and its
affiliated organizations will be ordered
out.
At the time of the settlement last year
Louis D. Brandeis, Hamilton Holt and
Maurice HillQuitt were appointed an
arbitration board. Six months ago the
question of time and piece work was
put up to the board to SETTLE but the
union men declare that no reply has been
made, and that some of the larger estab-
lishments are repudiating their old con-
tracts.
The union leaders declare that they are
stronger than ever before. and able to
stand a long contest with the employers.

Senators Counted for Wilson.

Wilson headquarters gives out the fol-
lowing:
"A greater number of democratic
United States senators have publicly de-
clared for Woodrow Wilson for President
than for all the other candidates taken
together Since there are two active can
didates in the House of Representative,
Speaker Clark and Chairman Underwood,
personal friendship cuts large figure,
and the majority of the democratic mem
bers have not publicly committed them
selves.
"A majority of the democrats OF the
Senate favor the nomination of the New
Jersey governor, and as many as six
teen members of that body have an
nounced their avowal Of support of him.
The list includes Senators Hoke Smith OF
Feorgia, Gardner of Maine, John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi. MARITIME OF New
Jersey, Lea of Tennessee, OGorman OF
New York. Bryan of Florida, Davis OF
Arkansas, Gore of Oklahoma, Overman
of North Carolina, Chamberlain of Ore
gon, NewIands of Nevada, Culberson OF
Texas, Smith of South Carolina and
Myers of Montana There are at least
seven other democratic senators In favor
of the nomination of Gov. Wilson who
will make announcement OF this fact In
due time. The strength of Gov. Wilson
among the democrats of the Senate re-
fleets the sentiment of the public in the
various states of the nation with regard
to the presidential nomination..

Clark Men Count on Kentucky.

ment:
Kentucky is now counted by the man.
ayers of Speaker Clark's campaign for
the democratic nomination as good as

tative Ollie James of Kentucky, senator
elect from that state, makes it CERTAIN. Mr..
Clark friends think, that Kentucky will
give its twenty-siX votes to the Speaker
at the Baltimore convention.
'Of the nine democratic members of the
House from kentucky seen are out
spoken in their Endorsement of the Speak
er's candidacy. Representatives Cantrill
and Helm are expected SON to issue
statements in favor of the Speaker Rep
resentative Rouse, whose district borders

er Clark. Representative Sh riley mas not
indicated his preference, but 1t Is be-
lieved Re would like to see Clark nomi-
mated. Representatives Stanley, Thomas.
Johnson and Fields are ali ardent sup
porters of the Speaker. Mr.. FEEDS has
already declared in an interview that the
81 eaker is the most available democrat
in the race for the nomination
South Carolina, which has been so con-
confidently ella med by other candidates,
is counted by the Clark managers as con-

the Speaker will get the delegation from
that state.

"Euerything That a Home Should Be-"
If You Pay
$38 Rent
Per Month

there is no reason why you should not be
putting this amount into home of your own
right now-one of the Spring Road properties
The price is $500, but the necessity of
paying that amount in cash is avoided by the
SHANNON & LUCHS easy payment plan. If
this plan were an experiment its practicability
would certainly prove worth the trying. But
it is not an experiment. We have been selling
homes on this basis for years.
The fact that the homes of those to whom
we have sold in the past today occupied by
their owners, and NOT FOR SALE, speaks
volumes. Instead of being a tax on mans
resources, buying Spring Road property the
SHANNON & LUCHS way proves lighter
task than paying rent. Here is just one ex-
ample:
The man today who rents home and has
any regard whatever for his future obligations
to his family must have savings account. The
money that now goes into this savings account
can be spent for the immediate necessities and
luxuries of life if he's buying Spring Road
property, because this acts as his savings &C
