WASHINGTON. March 1l.-From
every section OF tho country there
are pouring in to-day on the new ad-
ministratlon and senators and con-
gressmen appeals that they take up
the question of the minimum wage
for women and girls as soon as pos
sible. The revelations in the Chi

every community in the nation, have
stirred the people TO an extent sell
dom before reached. and there is lit
tie doubt that the problem will be a
really serious one when the regular
session OF congress opens in Decem-
Der next.
There Is hardly n community In
the nation where investigations are
not in progress. The fact that the
majority OF the big business men in
Chicago have insisted that national
and not state legislation will be re-
Ouired 10 solve the problem brings
the subject home 10 the national
legislators The introduction OF any
general bill framed along the Ire

SPEAKER OF HOUSE
MAY Be CANDIDATE
HI. M. Quin Seriously Con-
sidering Entering Race to
Succeed Brewer

Jackson, Miss, August S-tSpecial. III
M. Quin, speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives, was asked today If il was true
that he is a candidate for governor and
stated that he is not exactly a candidate,
but has been thinking the proposition over
very seriously He declares that if he can
borrow sufficient money on which to make
the campaign he will shie his caster into
the arena.
The only candidate SO far positively an
nounced is Lieutenant Governor Theodore
g. Bilbo, but it is understood that John
r. Tally, a prominent lawyer of Hatties-
burg, will announce in a few days-the
two of them being from the same part
of the state. 1t is believed here that j. N
Powers, state superintendent of educa-
ton, will also be candidate. 1t is known
he is thinking seriously of entering the
race but he says it is too early to start
campaign that must last two years.
All four of these gentlemen are Varda-
NANTES, and it may be put down as about
as certain as death and taxes that none
but dyed-in-the-wool Vardamanites will
enter the race. However Powers Tally
and Quin are all said to be anti Bilboites
and 1t will be the field against him.
