 This much was determined at the close of q day during which develop ments in the telephone dispute follow ed thick ard fast. After the agree ment of yesterday that there should be no strike until President Spa1ding's de- cisfo7l had been received, the union officials regarded the situation as at stanstilI until they learned today that girls were being brought from other cities to take the places of the union workers, should the latter quit.
 It is known that the action of the company ir bringing from New York women already +. the employ of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, coupled with the announce
 inert that the whole Bell organization was behind the subsidiary company in the local fight. wes 8 distinct disap- potntmert to the girls here. They had expected that the company would make an effort to fill their places with new employees, but they had not anticfpat- ed the coming of trained operators
 
 orators are organized in only a few cities in this state. Recently there has been q movement to orga nize the girls in New York, and the union members here had hoped for much from the spread of unionism. This hope was blasted when a special train from New YorlS arrived this afternoon bringing six hundred women from the ex- changes of New York. Brooklyn, Jer- sey City and Philadelphia. These girls are quartered at a prominent hotel in the Back Bay station and are ready to go to work if a strike is declared

Washington, April S.-The possibls violation of over a score Of treaties be- tween the United States and foreign nations through one provision of the new tariff bill that proposes 8 conces- sion in tariff goods brought in by Anerican-bu ships is giving concern to officials of the state and commerce departments,

ISSUE SETTLED
 BY CONNECTICUT.
Direct Election of United States Sem
 ators is Now a Law.

Washington, April S-Direct election of United States senators by the peo- pie was authorized and made compul- sory today, when the Connecticut leg islature ratified the constitutional amendment submitted by congress less than year ago. Ratification, already had been given by 35 states. The sit uation that results throughout the country where many legislatures have adjourned until 1915, is such as to leave confusion in the minds of mem bers of the senate to how the early steps toward direct election of sem ators will be carried out.
 Believes Law Now in Effect.
 While the proclamation of the sec retary of state announcing final ratih- cation of the amendment is required by law, Senators Bristow and Bo1ah, lead CTS in the direct elections f1gEt in con- gress, expressed the opinion today that the amendment is for all practical pur- poses now a part of the constitution.
 Any man who may be elected to the senate hereafter must be elected di- rectly," said Senator BOrah- The new amendment gives to the state lesis1a- lures, however, the right to prescribe the methods for electing senators. Many legislatures have adjourned and will not reconvene until early in 1915, few weeks before the terms of over thirty senators expire.
 Special Sessions of Legislatures.
 l. Is expected thai In na41yt states the legislatures will adopt the plan au- thoHzed in the new amendment and direct the govcrnors to appoint sen atoFs temporarily, until the people can elect men at regularly called elections
 Special sessions of the legislatures will be urged in many states, so that the necessary laws can be passed be- fore the general elections of 1914 In some states action has already been taken or will ba before the legislatures end their present sessions, authoriz- ing the people to vote for senators at next years election.
 The Situation in Maryland.
 The choice of 8 senator in Maryland for the place now held by Senator Jackson, would have been made by the legislature next year, under the old system. A special session of the Mary land legislature would be necessary to provide laws by which 8 popular cleo 1 ton could occur next year. In the | opinion of members of the senate no 1 successor can be appointed by the gov 1 arnor under the new provision when l Senator Jackson's term expires, unless the legislature shall have especially l directed such action

come brisker from day to day. All
ladies whose names appear in the
published list, and who have not
as yet received their contest sup
plies tor vote getting, should call at,
or send to the contest office at the
earliest moment and get started in
the race. The contest editor has
already received several subscriptions
from parties who desire their votes
to go to their favorite' candidate,
should the lady become active in the
contest. The subscriptions are being
held until the several candidates
commence active work of securing
subscriptions and votes in the cam

derstanding that if such and such
to give her credit for the votes; and
in the event she does not continue,
they will be credited to the subscrib-
er's second choice. For this reason
some candidates are liable to lose
many votes just because they do not
commence campaigning early. There
are hundreds and even thousands of
subscribers who would gladly give
their votes TO one candidate or an
ether if they knew the candidate
really wanted and would appreciate
the votes.
The best way, and the only way
for every lady in the contest, who
intends going after any of the prizes,
is to let the world know about it at
once, and then-go after the votes.
Nothing good was ever won without
some sort of effort, no matter in
what line of endeavor If anything
is worth having it certainly is worth
an effort
Don't wait too long to see just who
is going to run in the contest get
busy right now, yourself, and you
will be surprised at the result, which
is bound to be gratifying. Your
friends will know what to do when
they see you are in the race to
win. Everybody loves to boost a
winner.

The Ardmoreite's two first grand
capital prizes, the handsome Ford
1913 late model "T" five passenger
completely equipped touring cars,
were received by p. p. Kearney, the
local Ford dealer yesterday. and are
now on display in the new sales
room on East Main street. Both
cars are identically alike and are
equipped with every convenience
needed for perfect motoring.
With the arrival of the cars, the
entire list of prizes is complete and
all are now here and on display in
Ardmore, and most cordial invi-
tation is extended to.every candidate
and their friends to call at the diff
ferent establishments where the
prizes were purchased and inspect

Just exactly as represented, and well
worth every effort put forth by the
popular ladies who are competing for
them.
Several persons seem to be under
the impression that the two automo-
biles are open to all candidates in eth
er district-or that the two candi-
dates having the greatest number of
votes at the close of the contest
will receive them This is a mistake.
One car must go to each district
one to the city of Ardmore, and
the other must go to the outside ter
ritory. In other words: The most
popular candidate, the one who has
the greatest number of votes in each
of the two contest districts at the
close of the campaign, June 5, will
each receive one Ford 1913 touring
car. In substance-Candidat in
one district are not competing with
candidates in another district for any
of the prizes, but compete for po-
sition and prizes with candidates
in their own district. Another thing
no candidate is restricted to district
in securing subscriptions
and votes; any candidate may Sc
cure subscriptions and votes any
where, and anyone may vote for any
they choose, no matter in |
what district the candidate is entered !
ln The two districts are for the .
purpose of an equal division of prizes |
and apportionment of territory, and !
he arrangement makes it absolutely
equal to every lady entered in the
great campaign.
The voting today was rather steady
with both districts running close in
point of total votes cast. The free
iote ballots, which are clipped from
