SEWARD. Alaska. November ca
Severe winter weather and the ice con-
ditions In Cook inlet are causing the
Alaska engineering commission much
concern over the problem of landing
supplies and material needed by the
governments railroad builders at An
chorage. The thermometer registered
8 degrees below zero at Anchorage
last night and the increasing ice mem
ace in the roadstead caused fears today
that steamers en- route from Seattle
with railroad supplies would be un-
aple to discharge at Anchorage.

SENATOR NORRIS AGAINST
PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM
Has Not Yet Been Bitten by the
GERM He Says, and Sees No
Need for Larger Army and Navy.

Senator Norris of Nebraska, one of
the progressive republicans, is against
the preparedness program Of the Presi-
dent.
II have not been bitten by the pre-
as his opinion. that there was no neces-
sity for building up a larger army and
navy in the United States, particularly
at this time.
'.If the war stopped today none of
the European nations would be in a
condition which would permit them to
attack the United States" he said.
None of them wants to attack the
United States. Yet people in this coun-
try are talking and writing about how
an army of 100000 foreign troops may
come over here and subjugate the
United States"
Senator Norris said that he considered
the present United States navy q very
efficient organization.
Thinks Sentiment Manufactured.
Our navy is respected by all the for
eign nations. and 1t is criticised only by
members Of Congress and officials of this
government" he declared. Il do not inn
pute improper motives to the great num-
Der Of people who are supporting prepared
ness today. But ! do believe that the
sentiment in favor Of preparedness has
been manufactured"
He said that he thought the senti-
ment had been fostered by the people
interested in the manufacture Of war
munitions. He pointed out that thou
sands OF people are now interested in
the manufacture of munitions who
were not so interested before the Eu-
ronean war broke out.
."Those people are anxious to have a
new field for their activities when the
war is Europe ceases. and they hipe to
have the United States government as
a big customer" he said.
Senator Norris commented upon the
fact that a great deal more money will
have to be raised IL the program for
prepa redness 10 to be put into effect
and he said thai he did not think the
people would like to pay the added
taxes. He said that II additional taxes
were to be placed on the people he
favored making the large incomes pay
more taxes. and q heavy tax on in
Iheritances. especially whore huge fer
tunes were inherited.

Ancona was an inquiry by Ambassador
Penfield for details of the affair. The

Here's the Coxey Platform.
The Coxey platform has four planks.

900. is to be used in building submarines,
airships, battleShipS and coast defenses.
An act Of Congress to issue legal-ten-

in every community to loan the money
on real estate and chattel property at
its assessed value at , per cent tax

Mr. Coxey declared that the people

"If 1t had not been for the kaiser

teers, the men who represented the
District of Columbia in the Cuban cam
paign during the Spanish-American
war, gathered in the l. Street Armory
of the National Guard of the District
of Columbia last night for their annual
meeting. Many matters of especial in
terest were taken up at business
meeting before the refreshments were
served.
The question of the proper place for
the depositing of the regimental colors
carried through the campaign by the
District veterans was discussed. The
colors are now at the headquarters Of
the District of Columbia militia, but it
was the consensus of opinion that they
should be properly cased and kept in
the District building. 1t was pointed
out that the colors Of the state regi-
ments are deposited in the state capi-
tolls. The colors were presented to the
District contingent by the Legion of
Loyal Women.
Officers Elected.

president of the organization over his
earnest protest. The other officers
elected were Capt. Daniel " Chisholm,
vice president; Capt. R. J. Donnelly,
secretary, and Capt. Thomas F. Nc
Anally, treasurer.
Col Simms in his address said that
plans are under consideration for the
formation of an organization to be
known as the Military Service Legion
of the District. The legion is to be
composed of former members of the
National Guard of the District of Co
lumbia, the 1st District Volunteer In
fantry and the independent military or
ganizatfens which antedated the Ma
tional Guard and from which the guard
was formed in 1887. The object OF the
new organization. 1t was declared, will
be to further social acquaintance
among the men and to assist as far as
possible in the building up of the Ma
tional Guard and furthering measures

such members as care to take part in
either.

CR|HC|SES DEMOCRATIC
CAUCUS CL0TURE PLAN
Senator Norris Voices Belief That
Senate Is Continu-
ing Body.

Strong disapprovai of the plan OF the
democrats to make cloture for the Sem
ate a caucus measure was voiced by
Senator Norris of Nebraska today
Senator Norris, one of the progressive
republican senator's, is In favor OF .
limited form of cloture in the Senate
himself, and he introduced an amend
ment to the rules at the last session
of Congress providing for such cloture.
II expect a cloture rule to be adopted
BY the Senate" he said today. Il cannot
say how many republicans VIII vote ioF
1t in view of the fact that II Is 10 ne
made a caucus measure by the demo-
Gratis I think that fifteen or more re-
publicans would have supported elo-
ture when ] submitted my amendment
10 the rules last session. But the re-
publicans in the Senate are dead
against caucus rule as adopted by the
democrats and they believe that NIL
buster against measure that mas oeen
adopted by the democratic caucus is
entirely justified
Expects Caucus Plan to Hold.
"If the democrats would bring out a
rule for cloture which provided that
this rule should not apply to any eau
Gus measure, I believe that many Of the
republican senators would vote for 1t
to bring out any such rule. They are
apparently welded to the caucus plan.
1T seems that the President is not
satisfied with debating TO the Senate
what legislation it shall put through,
but now he is proposing to frame the
rules of the Senate. That is the way
! interpret the plan of the democrats
. to consider the cloture rule in caucus.

T; senator Norris said he thought the
. democratic leaders favoring cloture for

ONE HUNDRED MILLION

The population of the United States
in 1910, according to the government
census taken in that year, was 91,972,-
266. The next government census will
not be taken until 1920, so there is no
official way of determining the exact
population of this country at the pre-
sent time. But the census bureau has
made an estimate based on the rate
of increase in the population of the
United States between 1900 and 1910.
If the increase in population has had
the same ratio since 1910 that it had
during the decade from 1900 to 1910,
then the total population of the United
States has now reached 100, 600, 900.
This estimate does not include the
island possessions of the United
States. If the population of the Phil
lippines. the Hawaiian islands, Porto
Rico and other islands is included the
population of the United States was
in excess of 1O3 ,OOO, 900 in 1910. 1t is
a pretty big country and a rapidly
growing country. The British en-
pire, Russia and China are the only
countries on earth credited with a
larger population than the United
States.

the republican leaders frankly admit
that much will depend upon the mar
chosen to head the republican ticket.
And nearly all of them agree that a
reasonably progressive man must be
named in order to hold the party to-
gether.
There are a few-a very few-who
think that a stand-pat republican can
be nominated and elected next year.
At this early day many favorite sons
have run up their lightning rods or
have allowed their friends to put for
ward their names for consideration,
and as time goes on, new entrants in
the republican ace will develop. Some
who are now in the field are not to be
seriously considered; others who have
already been mentioned must be reck-
oned with at the next national con-
| vention. But it is evident that no re

per acre for his land in addition to
complying with the homestead laws,
he is up against an impregnable wall,
upon which he will break himself, fin
ancially and physically. That is the
opinion of those desiring homesteads
as is evident from the records of the
local u. S. Land Office at Glasgow.
In this district the office records show,
there has been over 1900 homestead
filings, made within the past year,
and yet less than 500 of these filings
were made upon the Fort Peck reser-
walton. When it is remembered that
the reservation furnishes opportun-
tiles for over 5000 homestead loca-
tions, the miscarriage of the plan for
settling this vast territory is plainly
evident. For the past six months
work has been prosecuted by indi-
viduals and organizations within the
reservation, asserted by the business
interests and the Commercial Club
of Glasgow. Many different plans have
been suggested, but the right one has
not yet developed. It is for the pur-
pose of deriving the benefit Of all
these various ideas to hold the meeting
at Poplar. Glasgow will send a dele
cation of twenty men to act with re-
representatives. of the various cities,
within the reservation and a method
of procedure will be outlined. If neces-
sary a committee will be selected re-
presenting each town interested, this
committee to go to Washington, D.
c.. and place the matter before the
Indian Department and the Montana
delegation there. A personal appeal
will be made for action upon the part
of the Indian Department and Con-
gress to so alter the present homestead
requirments upon the reservation, as
will make filing upon the land, within
it's boundary appeal to the man who
desires making a home for himself
and family.
The Glasgow Commercial Club re-
cognizes the Importance of such &C.
ton necessary to further rapid de-
velopment of thousands of acres of
this fertile soil in Northern Montana
and are willingly doing everything
possible to make this meeting a suc
cess. The cities interested in this

THE REPUBLICAN FIGHT

. The fight for the republican presi-
genital nomination in 1916 promises to
Soe as lively and as interesting as any
Spre-convention contest in the past 30
years. Likewise, it promises to be a
fight right up to the minute the re-
publican convention selects the stand
ard bearer for the next contest with
ahe democracy. There is no interest
and practically no speculation at this
slime regarding the democratic nominal
tIion, as it is a foregone conclusion that
President Wilson will be renominated.
Now that the bull moose party has
practically ceased to exist, and most
of the followers of Roosevelt in the
campaign of 1912 have returned to
aheir old party, it is assured that the
contest of next year, will be between
the two big parties, and especially so

CARRIED. BIT Good

There are so many jokes in circu-
lation at the expense of the Ford
car that we gladly make room for
one in it's favor.
A man who had a big six cylinder
car was stalled on the road when
along a little Ford.
The Ford driver as a matter of
course, stopped to see if he could
render any assistance.
The mar with the big car was out
of humor and when the Ford man ask
ed him what the matter was, he made
an ugly reply: "Oh! l met a Ford
back there a few miles and my car
must have swallowed it."
"That's easily found out partner"
said the Ford man. "Just raise the
hood and listen. If it's a Ford on
the inside it is still running"
