The following statement was Is
sued today by Arthur A. Quinn in
answer to the speech of County
Clerk Cannon at the Democratic
meeting Tuesday night:
Newspaper controversies are not
to the liking of any man, but L con-
slider it my solemn duty to reply to
the statement issued in last nights
issue of the EVENING NEWS by Mr..
Cannon, concerning the senatorial
contest now being waged in this
county between Mr.. Florance and
myself
81 will first dispose of the trivial
matters that have been advanced
why the voters after having given
me their confidence by electing me
to the house of assembly for three
terms, should now refuse to support
me for the nomination for senator.
"The voters are told that If l sue
ceed in obtaining the nomination the
Democratic party is going to ruin;
they are also told that the issue at
stake is whether Mr.. Cannon or my
self shall be considered as its lead
er; they are told that |, after having
requested the county committee not
to endorse either Mr.. Florance and
myself for the nomination, sought
the endorsements of various labor
organizations throughout the coun-
ty; they are told that Mr.. Florance
is the strongest candidate and that
it would be impossible for me to win
on election day; in fact, the voters
are told everything except the main
point, and that is why this active
opposition to the candidacy of man
who has served the people honestly.
Party an Institution.
GAS to the first reason, the Dem
ocratic party is an institution found
ed by that great statesman, Thomas
Jefferson; it has lived through the
years and it will live on as long as
society exists; no man can destroy
an institution of that sort; no man
makes political party and no man
is greater than the party of which he
is member, but the real ruin of any
body, whether it be polite or other
wise, is when the people cease to
rule. The very principle of repre-
sentative government had it's incep-
ton in the creation of political par
ties and it rests entirely with the
people whether this grand and
great principle shall remain intact
for the future generation.
Doesn't Want to be Leader.
''As to the question of county lead
ership, any such thought has been
and is remote to my mind. l crave
no such burden and l concede the
right to no one to assume that my

Europe's Eyes on Ferdinand.
By HENRY WOOD,

tUnlted Press correspondent
London, Sept. 23.-Europe's eyes
are turned today upon Czar Ferdi-
nand, of Bulgaria, the man of mys-
terry, the human enigma, the sphinx.
For nearly a year he 1us iived in
seclusion in Virania pondering over
Bulgaria's future course of action.
With dramatic swiftness he has
emerged to mobilizing his army His
next command may effect the future
destinies of all Europe.
Reports. from European capitals
today contain vague guesses OF what
the Bulgarian czar has 1ocReSicfis Is
breast-the great secret of the war.
Army commanders are hurryi 3g to
Sofia, Railways are carrying Bulga-
rian troops and all indications appar-
emily point to war. But those famil-
lar with conditions at Sofia believe
the czar alone knows what Bulga-
ria's next move will be.
Silent as Sphinx.
Until a year ago the Bulga-ian
ruler was jovial and we'll met, whose
friends were legion. he received
everyone, especially newspaper men,
but there was a sudden cnanSe from
the sole open heartedness. He be-
came a riddle, and as silent as the
sphinx He retired to the summer
capital at Virania Orders were
given he would receive no one ex-
cept his prime minister. From time
to time he sent the Crown Prince
Boris to Sofia with messages for
those whom he wished to communi-
cate He made an exception a few
weeks ago when he received the new
German ambassador to Constantine
pie, who brought him an autograph
from the Kaiser But the exception
only proved the rule. Car Fardi-
nand has never made any secret Of
his ambition to be the dictato, of the
Balkans.

ELECTRIC WORKERS
STRIKE At PLANT
May Tie Up Powder Factory
Construction - Some Con-
cesSions Made to Strikers.

A general strike among electrical
workers at the T. A. Gillespie Com
pany's powder factory at Edgar's s
Siding, near Parlin, will be caused
within a few days unless demands
for better treatment are granted,
declare leaders among the twenty
Monday afternoon. The strike is de-
clared to have resulted from the re-
fusal of light workers and linemen
to take orders from w. V. Sirisen,
who was foreman of the motor de-
partment gang.
Among those to quit work at the
plant was Harold Coutts, foreman of
the light department workers. 1t
appears that Mr. Coutts had cleared
up the work in his department pret-
ty well and for that reason he did
not put in an appearance either
Sunday or Monday. Electrical work
ers in his department were then
taken charge of by Foreman Sirisen.
They refused to take orders from
him and a strike resulted at 3
o'clock Monday afternoon. Wiremen
generally struck in sympathy with
the workers who held a grievance
against Sirisen and more than twen-
ty quit, leaving but about twelve
electricians at work. Mr.. Coutts
put in an appearance on Tuesday
and upon learning of conditions he
refused to work.
Strikers and sympathizers are In
censed over the action taken by
plant officials soon after the strike
Monday, when they ordered guards
to rush a committee of strikers from
the plant. The committee had in
tended to debate with the officials
Electrical Union No. 358, of this
city, now has the matter in hand.
Its heads are considering the decla-
ration of a general electrical strike

ing all three shifts of union and non
union men quit.
Offer Some Concessions.
Officials of the Standard Under
ground Cable Company have offered
some concessions to strikers who quit
work there at noon on Monday and
on Tuesday morning. 1t Is under
stood that the company will allow
nine-hour day, giving about the same
pay as was paid at the time of the
strike. Strikers declare that the Of
fcials have agreed to give eight in
