The Senatorial Contest

Readers doubtless are tired 0
this discussion of senatorial can
dldates, especially as the race i
a year in the future, but, as tn
preachers say, Zone more wor,
and we are done.
The number of opposition can
didates is due to the REASONABLE,
belief OF many well informed DO
iltlcal observers that majority
OF the Democratic electors will
not vote to continue Hon. N. P
Bryan in his present position as
United States senator. Neither
Giichrist, Trammell nor Perry
Wall would run against Bryan if
they did not believe they could
and would defeat him, and their
friends share in this belief. Nay.
each one believes that he can and
viii defeat all the rest; conse-
quently, all four are likely to
stay in the race till the end.
With all four running, no one
oan accurately prognosticate the
result, but it may help to this end
to consider some unauthenticated
reports that have begun circulat-
ing. One report is that Bryan's
friends seduced Perry Wall into
becoming candidate, their OBJ
ject being to help Bryan by divid-
ing Gilchrist S support in South
Florida. Per contra, another re-
port is to the effect that shrewd
friends of Gilchrist, designing to
divide the Bryan vote, beguiled |
Park Trammell into entering the
race, for it is well known that
both Bryan and Trammell belong
to the same wing of the party.
But Gilchrist, it may be said in
belongs to the party and
not to any particular wing of it, |,
and in this he has an advantage /,
over both the governor and the .
senator. I
Perry Wallis exact position has !
not yet been defined, but it is i'm !
material to the conclusions that o
may De drawn from the situation. ;,
One conclusion is that he will not !,
AXE enough votes from Gilchrist !

 When Amzf L. Barber became in xerested in the automobile industry, MT. Davis became one of the pioneers in the business. Though he had stud ied the self propelled vehicle before the inception of the Locomobile Com pany in 1899, it was not until that concern put out it's first cars that the automobile became a factor in the in dustria1 and vehicu1ar world
 While there were a few companies experimenting and working on the business, the Locomobile Go. was in every way the first company, the real pioneer MT. Barber was always from the first a firm believer in the future of the motor car. MT, Davis became president of the Locomobile Go. in 1907 and was active in it until his death.

STORES WILL PAY
 THEIR CLERKS FOR
 WORKING OVERTIME
Three Leading Stores Make Announcement of Plans
 For Working Hours.

In accordance with the general movement for an eight hour day through the city, three of the largest department stores Of the city How land Dry Goods Co, rne Smith Mur- ray Co, and the Meigs & Co, today made announcements in regard to their corps of help. These stores have planned to have an eight hour day and pay overtime for Saturday even ings and for extra hours during the Christmas season.
 There is to be no change in the store custom regarding holidays and annual vacation.
 | While the employees of the stores had made no depaand for the change, they are all very happy over the new order.
 The statement of the Rowland Dry Goods Go. says in part:
 .'At this time, we believe that the shopping schedule is as short as it should be in justice to the men and women who depend upon the Rowland service.
 For this reason the store will com tinue to be open Saturday evenings until g o'clock and beginning with the day after Labor Dax it will be open business days till o'clock.
 -sThe stores duty to it's staff of work CTS is just as great as to it's stsupporters however. We have a plan for their advantage too.
 "An s-hour- working day seems. to be the standard at present; either en- joyed or striven for.
 Through the summer, this stores work k-day for the majority of the force is just over 47 hours. During the rest of the year it is approximate1y 52 hours a week.
 From now on. we shall figure that the weeks during all except the sum mer are weeks Of 6 E days and all the members of the store force who are on duty Saturday evenings during those weeks will receive an additional ha1f-day's pay based on their regular weekly rate. During the time the summer schedule is in effeer and the working week is but 47 hours fongs there will be, naturally, no extra pay.
 teWe believe this is a fair plan. ~t gives the people the shopping hours we believe they wish and know they are entitled to-and at the same time 1t gives the store force an added re- ward for the service it's members rem der
 This plan goes into effect at once and all members of the force entitled to extra pay will receive it for the week beginning September 7,'
 The same conditions will prevail at The Smith Murray co.
 Mefgs & Co.'S statement fellows:
 t'Being in sympathy with shorter hours for employees. we wish to an ncunce that beginning Labor day we will adopt the 48-hour week basis, and all overtime will be paid atthe regular rate.
 .'To give the, same efficient service to our customers, and fully recognizing that this is an industrial city we will therefore remain open Saturday even- ings as usua1.''

 It is generally acknowledged that in making concessions to the United States, Germany expects President Wilson to reneV his presentations to Great Britain against interference with neutral trade. The President has steadfastly declined to conduct one negotiation in a relation to the other, taking the position that the diplomatic negotiations of the United States with one beldgerent could not be conditioned on it's relations with another.
 The new American note to Great Britain making representations against the restrictions imposed by the orders in council, is almost ready to go forward to London.
