FACE BIG
SPLIT IN HAMMOND
Next Municipal Election Will See Four
Tickets and Probably Five
in The Field
B. CARTER WANTED FOR MAYOR

Political developments in Ham
mond as they relate to the. coming
municipal election have brought out
some astonishing facts during the
past week.
The major development is that
Hammonds democracy is split from
stem to stern and that there will be
two democratic tickets placed in the
field at the November election.
PROBABLY FIVE TICKETS.
This with the bull moose split in the
republican party and another probable
republican offshot will put five tickets
in the field next November for the
Hammond voters to consider.
Though the machine democrats in
Hammond viii laugh at the story that
there is to be a second democratic
ticket in the field, the man who laughs
last will be the man who knows that
the workingmen of Hammond will put
the strongest kind of ticket in the
field. and that Representative Barney
Carter will be the candidate for mayor
on the new democratic ticket.
-zs--aer 4 CAfkI1LA CALL SAItON0.
Ov<rtures have been mNde by the
new party leaders to Mr.. Garter, but
he has declined to make any definfte
answer to them, although he gave them
to understand that If the movement is
strong, enough and the call significant
he wifi accept the nomination.
That the movement is strong and
that the call will be powerful enough
to satisfy the most exacting is demon
strated by the fact that leaders of the
workingmens movement have held a
number of significant meetings and in
most determined fashion have deter
mined TO go the limit. They found a
. revolutionary spirit that will not be
, downed or controlled in the ranks of
the workers of Hammond.

Formerly this plan has not been SO
successful In the Mid-Continent
field also it checked the decline, SO
100000 barrels of the maximum out
put in 1910 In the Appalachian field,
where higher prices and very cheap
methods of pumping oil wells make
the decline slow in any event. the
great rise in price from $3.50 to $500

normal decline and even to have af-
fected an increase, which, though
slight was gratifying,
Drilling Activity.
In the Appalachian fields in 1911
the highest number OF wells drilled
in any one month was slightly over

800 wells a month was reached in
April. and the monthly number did

the year reaching a maximum of $50

Another feature tending to streng-
then the position of oil in this coun-
try is the decrease in production in
Russia. from 66,1S3 ,691 barrels in 1911
to about 60,000,OOO barrels in 1912.
Roumania increased its product slight

TELEPHONES TO
DISPATCH TRAINS
New System Installed on the Main
Line Of 9. & o. Between Bruins
wick and Cumberland

Dispatchfng of trains exclusively
by telephone promises to follow the
try-out Of a new system on the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad between
Cumberland and Brunswick, where
the innovation has been found a sue
cess.
AS a further step, 1t is planned to
equip every caboose, and baggage car
on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio
with auxiliary telephones, which, by
IA trolley arrangement, may be used
at any point on the line in case of
accident or trouble.
The new system was recently in
stalled at Cumberland and all tele-
graph instruments were removed
from that division
If the auxiliary system is carried
out as contemplated, batteries and
telephones will be installed in the
cars and a "fsh-pole" extension troll
ley fastened to the body Then, if a
freight or passenger train is stopped
at any point on the line by trouble or
signal, the conductor can immedi-
ately rig up his trolley, connect with
wires running parallel with the
tracks and communicate with the
train dispatcher.

HOW 1916 BEARS ON
BRYAN IN CABINET
Nebraskan Will Decline, Friends Say,
Unless Wilson Repud ates
Second Term.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan cit IS
said here that William j. Bryan would
not accept the State portfolio unless
Presidentelect Wilson should make it
clear in his inaugural address that
one term in the White House is all
that he would expect or could ask
for under the pledge of the Damocra-
tic platform adopted at Baltimore.
The Baltimore platform says:
We have a single Presidential term
and to that end we urge the adoption
OF an amendment to the Constitution
naming the President of the United
States ineligible for reelection, and
we pledge the candidate of the con
yention to this principle"
Democrats of Congress believe that
if Mr.. Wilson is silent in his inaugu-
raj address on this important subject
the public will consider him a candi-
date to succeed himself.
If Mr.. Wilson declares that he in
terprets the single-term plank of the
platform to apply to him, and that he
will not be a candidate to succeed him
self there will be no reason why Mr.,
Bryan should not accept a Cabinet
place
1t is an open secret that Mr. Bryan
thinks that plank means one term for
Wilson and that Bryan's enthusiastic
friends expect to support Bryan for
the Democratic nomination
Democrat who have been TO New
Jersey 10 see MIR. Wilson do not think
that he considers the single-term
pledge binding upon him.

Within the last ten days the Presi-
dent-elect has been much provoked
by dispatches from Washington pur-
porting to give advance information
as to the men who will be asked to
act as his advisers, or as to what
course he will pursue respecting legis-

correspondents he has not divulged
his plans to any person and has no
idea of doing so. He has consulted
with National Chairman William F.
McCOombs, William j. Bryan, Speaker
Champ Clark, Oscar w. Underwood

tors and members of Congress as to
men and measures" but he has not
indicated to any of these gentlemen
whom he intends to appoint.

BROWNS MAJORITY
At Last 1t Has Been Determined and

Congressman Brown has traced the
error in figures which caused a dis
crepancy between his plurality as an
nounced by the Governor and as COM
puted by himself from the certificates
of county clerks, and the correct fig
ures are PA instead of IA as given
out from the Governors office. The
error occurred, according to Mr..
Browns investigation, in the Office of
the county clerk of Preston county. 1t
was purely a clerical error and has
been corrected, so that the official fig
ures at the Governors Office will now
show that Mr.. Brown has plurality
of PA.

Stocks.


In all OF the fields except those of
California and the Gulf there was
steady drain on stocks during the
year, so that from a total of S1,7S9,-
$3.50 barrels-oyer a half years out
put-on January /, the stock declined
to G9OO0,OO0 barrels at the end of the
year, This drain reflects the increas-
ed capacity of the refining plants Of
the United States. the greatly in
creased exports, and a gradual change
in the general condition of the indus
try by which gasoline has become
much more in demand, so that the
trade is well satisfied with heavier
grades OF gasoline or naptha For
this reason the dividing line between
naptha and kerosene has necessarily
been drawn nearer to kerosene and
a large quantity of oil has been dis
TILED into the gasoline portion of the
products and a less output of kero-
seue resulted. on the other hand
the heavy residues which are market
ed as fuel oils have come into great
or demand, and owing to the eyer-ev-
ident effort to increase the WELD OF
light products by splitting up these
residues the supply Of fuel oil has not
kept up with the demand. The ad
vent Of internal-combustion engines
such as those OF the Diesel type
