Reports from Mucklow and Standard
this morning state that the mountains are
still filed with armed men, and shooting
into the towns continued until after day
break. The force OF deputy sheriffs and
mine guards at these places was SO small
that no move could be made to dislodge
the attacking parties.
1t was reported. however, that the
guards We're holding their positions, and
anxiously awaiting the troops which are
expected about noon.
Communication will not be restored b.
telegraph until late in the day. but a
train bringing prisoners is scheduled to
arrive from Mucklow early this afternoon
All news coming from the scene of the
fighting is being brought by courier on
horseback. and it is feared that when
the miners learn of the manner in which

close all roads leading to the district.

morning it was stated efforts to restore

All Candidates Welcome.

The more the merrier.' is what they
say about candidates who will split the
republican vote, and they think that the
resentment of old-line republicans against
the bull moosers will be more intense in
the next campaign than last year. Far
be it from the democratic managers 10
throw any obstacles in the way of Roose-
welt again shying his hat into the ring.
and they are willing to open the ring
wide enough to include n third try if the
second one fails.
The other reason is that some of Mr..
Wilson's friends think they see the fine
Nebraskan hand of Mr.. Bryan in the pro-
posed exclusion of one who had ever
held the office from being candidate
again Such a process OF elimination.
they contend, would leave Bryan as good
as nominated as soon as the amendment
was ratified.

faulty organization but misfortune that

Message to the public:
The causes of this disaster are not
due TO faulty organization. but to mis-
fortune In all the risks which had to be

Seek Ablest Manager.

At any rate. whether Mr.. Wilson wants
renomina ton or not. the democrats want
reelection and. whoever Is 10 be nom.-
mated. they demand a smashing cam
paign to be made for the party in ad-
vance OF the national elections. with the
ablest manager to be obtained in charge
Of it.
1t is not known today whether Mr.. Nc
Combs has decided to take cabinet posi-
ton or continue the work OF the cam
paign committee, but the preponderance
OF opinion is that he is intent upon the
latter course. as the meeting Is Gained for
the day after the Inauguration and SUD
mission OF the cabinet list. IT is thought
that Mr.. McCombs friends VIII In tiat
meeting lay the foundati ton for the WORK
ahead of the committee and insist upon
mis- assuming direction of IL.
Another interesting consideration in this
connection is the fact that others OF Mr.
McCombs' friends are urging him to seek
election to the United States Senate to
succeed Senator Root, whose term expires
two years hence. 1t is not thought that
his connection with the national commit
tee would be bar to senatorial aspira-
tions If he decides to harbor them.

Stirred by Bull Moosers.

Democratic politicians are moved to be-
gin work early on their campaign for
Congress two years from noz, and for the
presidency in 1916, BY the prompt and
vigorous steps being taken by the bull
moose party for it's campaign, details of
which were recently related In The Star.
Bull moosers are organizing rapidly and
efficiently in every state and are in the
fight to stay. The old republican organi-
cation is stunned for the present, ap-
parently. although Secretary Reynolds Is
to raise roller-top desk In an office here
this spring. The date named is April !.
Politicians today were commenting upon
the action of the judiciary committee
yesterday in amending the constitutional
amendment for the limitation Of the pres-
Dental term. so that il shall not so into
effect unutil 1921
Two reasons arc assigned. for that pro-
posed extension. The first is that upon
second thought the political managers
deemed it unwise to exclude Theodore
Roosevelt from the next campaign. as
would be the case under the original
Senate resolution ii ratified. The demo-
Gratis want Roosevelt 10 leave his hat in
the ring. Surely. they say, II was life
saver to them In the last election.
