IN TIE RACE TO STAY SAYS
STANLEY.

Some Of the opponents of Mr.. A. o.
Stanley becoming alarmed at his APP
parent growing popularity as candi-
date for the nomination for the Senate
have started report that he may
withdraw. He denies the report in the
following statement
The statement appearing in quite a
number of Republican papers that | am
about to withdraw from the race for
the Senate should cause amusement
rather than speculation. They have
had ne out Of the race so often before
that this last reiteration has but little
significance.
The wish is father to the thought.
Many Republicans who edit papers, as
well as many who do not. are as much
interested in my defeatas the stanchest
adherenys # some of my opponents.
They know that my nomination means
my election, and that is exactly what
those who plan to make Bradley's sue
cessor a Republican do not want.
The claim that | was brought out
by the liquor interests, their chosen
candidate, 70 defeat Mr. Beckham,
made with such flourish of trumpets.
is, it appears, not even believed by his
managers and clio est advisers. Since
the widest circulation is given to a
statement made in Mr.. Beckham's in
terest and which is evidently inspired,
that these same interests are not be-
hind me and that they will not be in
material or any other way. it is evident
that these same advisers and managers
have found that a statement making
me the candidate of these interests
was so ridiculous and absurd that his
own henchmen have not the face to
repeat it.
LAS an evidence of my deep gloom
over the reception already accorded me
and of my lack of activity, shall only
speak about once day next week.
''After the reception recently accord
ed me, if | were not a candidate, l
would get into the race before night.
/ am figuring on my majority now"

100000 REFUGEES
FACING HARD WINTER
Fall of Antwerp Adds 500, 900
to Homeless List.

London. - Three million refugees
without homes or money. in many
cases lacking sufficient clothing and
even food, make one result of little
more than two months of warfare In
Europe
The fall of Antwerp added fully 800
600 men, women and children to the
who must depend on the bounty of
others for their keep. France Eng
land. Germany, Austria, Russia and
Belgium have all felt the effect of the
suiferings of this great army. Eng
land and France especially and the
neutral nation of Holland have been
the chief sufferers, for to them have
come the homeless hordes of Belgians
fleeing from their homes or driven out
by the fire and sword that has swept
through the country.
1t is estimated that there are 1000
600 refugees in France. more than half
that number in England, ut least 800
600 in Holland Refugees from the
border towns Of Germany and the East
PruSSian territory occupied by Russia
have fed to the interior in what mum
bers cannot be estimated. On the 9th
er hand. Russians from Poland and
the border towns attacked by the Ger
mans have been forced to fee to the
interior
Thousands of refugees from Galicia
and the parts OF Hungary occupied by
the Russians have fed to the interior
and Vienna and other large Austrian
and Hungarian cities are taxed to
their utmost to care for them How
many of these refugees there are II Is
almost impossible to say, and 100000
is probably conservative estimate Of
the great numbers who have felt the
full force of the warfare.
Besides those that have fed from
their homes. there are thousands III

ments. Those Belgians who fed their
country and sought refuge in France
are said to be absolutely destitute, in
many cases weak from hunger and
suffer!ngs. This large influx has
brought France face to face with a
big problem. England apparently has
so far absorbed those refugees who
have rea ched her shores and viii prob
ably be able to care for many more.
