GOVERNOR GOLDsBOR0UGH
IN THE SENATORIAL RACE.
Started His Campaign This Week and
Will Be Kept Busy.

Former Governor Phillips Lee Colds
borough. candidate for the Republican
nomination for United States Senator.
started this week on his campaign that
will bring him in personal contact with
nearly every Republican voter in Mary
land. He has planned a long speaking
tour that will take him to all sections of
the State between now and the pri-
mary election on May l.
With each passing day, the candidacy
of Mr.. Goldsborough gains momentum.
Answering the requests from members
of the Republican party from e cry
part of the State, including many who
were formerly allied with the Progress
sive Party, that he become Senatorial
candidate, he has received so many as
surances of support that he feels that
his candidacy not only meets with the
approval of large majority of the Re-
publicans of the State, but there is a
general demand for the nomination of
Mr.. Goldsborough from the rank and
file of the party.
Il have been in touch personally and
by letter." said Mr.. Goldsborough,
with representative citizens of every
county in the State, as we'll as the City
of Baltimore, and | am greatly gratified
over the encouraging offers of help |
received on all sides.
at will be my purpose to make a
vigorous and active campaign through
out the State, and with the help of my
friends and those interested in the
future of the Republican Party, present
to every Republican voter of every
shade of opinion. what the issues in
volged In the primary are.
ITO my mind the vast body of voters
will recognize the duty of participating
IN the primary election. The funda-
mental reason for the direct primary is
to be found. in that the people them
selves have the say as to whom will be

MR.. GEORGE G|ESsMAN
ELECTED MAYOR MONDAY
With Republican Council, D. E. BoIden
and Samuel AronhaIt, and R, n.
West, Democrat.

Monday witnessed the hottest con-
tested municipal election ever held in
Oakland when the Republicans came off
victorious, electing their candidate for
Mayor and two of the three City Coun-
cilmen.
The Republican ticket was nominated
at meeting held on last Thursday
evening at the Council Chamber, when
Mr.. George Giessman was nominated
for Mayor and Messrs. D. E. Bolden,
E. G. Naylor and Samuel Aronhalt
were named for Councilmen.
The Democrats held their convention
on Friday night and named DIR. B. F.
Selby for Mayor and the following as
their councilmanlc candidates: Messrs.
Stuart F. Hamill. R. Harry West and
William G. Hinebaugh.
The result of the election places the
Republicans in power for the next year
at least, the Council standing now four
Republicans, two Democrats and a Re-
peblican Mayor.
The vote on Monday was as follows:
For MAYOR

their candidate for public office. "

Irrespective of party utilization, the
record of Mr.. Goldsborough as Cover
nor has been endorsed on all sides.
Men in every walk of life and of every
political creed, commend the Colds
borough administration through a firm
belief that while in Office Mr.. Colds
borough labored earnestly and conscien-
tiously for the welfare of the people
and advocated all measures that tended
to promote the general welfare of the
State.
The Goldsborough administration,
combined with the personal makeup of
the man himself, have caused leading
Democrats to intimate that Mr.. Colds
borough would be the strongest nomi-
nee to oppose their candidate in the
general election. In fact it is conceded
on all sides that Mr.. Goldsborough is
the strongest candidate that can be
produced for the nomination of Senator
by the Republicans, particularly at this
time.
His record as Governor of Maryland
has probably never been equalled. In
this connection, The Baltimore News,
in an editorial on January u last, said:
Governor Goldsborough leaves Of
flee with the best wishes of the people
of Maryland. He has been kindly
Governor, a man who disliked to hurt
even his opponents. He has made few
enemies, those within his own party be-
ing due to factional rather than person
al reasons. The State can find in his
record much to congratulate itself upon.
He co-operated in whatever en-
deavors were made to give the State
progressive government. He stood in
the way of few good laws, and applied
himself diligently to the work allotted
to him. His choice of men who have
to do with the enforcement of the cleo
ton laws has never been instigated by
desire to win partisan advantage. Few
men have left office with higher per
sonal regard of the public which in
trusted them with Office. and we are
sure there are few who supported Mr..
Goldsborough four years ago who re
greet their action.

METRIC SYSTEM F0R AMERICA
 |S URGED BY J. $. SCIENTISTS
(By Review Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Dec. 2?-Adoption of measures for commercial use in the United States and also of the day light saving" plan was advocated to- day by speakers in different sections of the convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Science
 An unusual opportunity is afforded at present to make the metric system the American, as well as the interna- tional language of commerce asserted George Kuntz, president of the New York Academy of Science.
 For the effective development of our trade" he said, it is most urgent that all foreign catalogues and publi cations issued by our manufacturers should have all dimensions expressed in metric as well as in English terms of weights and measures"
 The demand for war materials, he said, has forced the introduction of the metric system in many industries. A permanent organization to urge the adoption of the metric system was suggested by Henry V. Army of Mont clair. N. J., professor of chemistry in the college of pharmacy at Columbia University.
 Tt is high time for this country to throw off the shackles of an Elizabeth an set of standards and add our 110,- 900, 900 people to the 437,000,000 al- ready using the metric system," he asserted.
 Urging the merits of the daylight saving" plan. Marcus Nj. Marks, presi- dent of the Manhattan Boro, said it would give more time for recreation, improve the public health, and that it was estimated it would save s75,000,- 900 in lighting bills during the sum- mer months.

FL PASO SEWERS
 DEVOID OF COAL
(By Review Leased Wire)

FL PASO. Dec. 27.-There is not a pound of coal to be bought tonight in Fl Paso, owing to shortage that may continue indefinitely, the dealers say. The excuse first given by the coal men when the supply began to grow short was the scarcity of coal cars on the railroads connecting with the mines. But now they say it results from the scarcity of labor at the mines Coal has advanced in price from $750 to s15 ton within the past two months.
 The coal shortage. coupled with the spell of freezing weather, has caused acute suffering among the poor of the Mexican quarter. It is not felt in the army camps, however. where the fuel is pine wood imported from eastern Texas and New Mexico.

FUEL SUPPLY |S IMPROVED IN
 DISTRICT
Carload of Coal Arrives in Bis
 bee Yesterday, but Is dis pensed in a Short Time
 More Cars in Prospect.

Bisbee's available fuel supply grew somewhat yesterday and while is may take several days completely to re- lieve the situation, there now appears little likelihood of suffering. Until several cars of coal which are on the way, arrive here. however, it is expected the system of apportion- ing coal out in small fats will be con- tinued so long as it lasts.
 Should the coal supply be entirely exhausted before succor comes, the citizens can turn to wood for fuel and many are already doing this. The Bis bee Fuel and Feed company received five cars of wood Tuesday. and it is selling quite rapidly.
 One car of Gallup coal arrived for the Bisbee Fuel company yesterday and was all distributed three hours after its arrival Two other cars started for Bisbee but were confiscat- ed by the Santa Fe at Deming, it was reported.
 Yesterday Mine Superintendent Sherman, of the Copper Queen, turned over for public distribution eight more tons of Dawson coal. It was practical ly all apportioned out yesterday by William Delbridge, secretary of the Warren District Commercial club, which has done much to relieve the situation.
 Today or tomorrow two more cars of Dawson coal are due for the Copper Queen, and it may be possible some of it also can be spared if necessity arises.
 Five or six other cars also are on the road from Dawson, according to F, L. Williams, Bisbee agent for the fContinued on Page p
