RUNNING FOR OFFICE
EXCITING OCCUPATION
Some Candidates Are Holding Inter-
locking Official Po-
sitions.
Special to The World.


OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. S.--Run-
ming for office in some Oklahoma
counties sometimes causes pcrplexing
situations, even though the candidate
feels he has a "cinch." +. NJ Dod-
son, at present treasurer of Murray
county. was nominated at the late Dri-
mary for county clerk. He says that
II. his county nomination is equivalen,
to election. His office as treasurer
does not expire until the last OF noxt
June. while his duties Of county clerk
begin the first of the coming Janu-
airy. The same condition fits the
nominee Tor county treasurer as to
tho surenoss of his election. both can
di6ates being on the Democratic tick
ct The situation Is placed before tho
ettorneygencral with the question of
what TO DO. The advice is given that
Mr.. Dodson should resign from the Of
flee Of county treasurer before or on
the date he assumes his duties as
county clerk: that 1t might be dan
eerous for the newly elected treas
urer to fill the six months vacancy OF
Mr. Dodson. provided :he other man
wanted to run for reelection, because
he might be confronted with the
three-term prohibition existing in the
stfte laws II is probable that some
one else will be appointed to fiji out
the unexpired term Of Mr.. Dodson.

by Operators.
COMPANIES REFUSE
Disorder, Though Frequent,
Is Not Serious Along
Any of the Lines.

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The second
~ day of the strike of unionized
employees OF New York's subway. ele-
vated and surface lines brought little
interruption to service. but developed
a contest which. it was said, may de-
eide whether the ciy's carmen will be
permitted to organize.
Theodore =. Shonts. president Of tho
Interborough Rapid Transit company
and the New York Railways company,
struck at the union by offering to
take back all striking New York Rail
way company employees who quit the
union by tomorrow. Strikebreakers,
he declared, would be put in the
places Of ali those employees who do
not accept his offer.
Union leaders tonight threatened to
extend the strike to the lines of the
Third Avenue Railroad company, tho
Second Avenue company and the I'm
ion Railways company unless the
heads of these lines pledge themselves
not to circulate individual contracts
among their men similar to those
binding the workers not to ask for
wage Increases for two years which
brought on the Interborough strike
and the sympathetic New York Rail
ways NtTlkP. ne IlIu avenue uht,
1t was said. flatly refused the de-
mands.
Union officials tonight asserted that
three thousand elevated railway and
subway employees were out, but mauD
no claims that service was being
crippled on the New York railways
surface lines, however. they asserted
that service was being seriously in
terruptcd. The company admitted
that fewer cars than usual were rum
ming again today.
Disorders though frequent were not
serious during the day In one fight
SO, eral strikers were injured. Other
strikers who stoned a surface car In
1ured a policeman serving as guard.
A committee of strikers complained
to the police that hired gdngsters were
attacking their pickcts. Their request
that Jickets be permitted TO ride on
the cars was denied.
Mayor Mitchell, in a statement to-
night, declared that pending the in
quiry into the strike he was de
termined that order shall be main

GUILLEMONT FIELD
STREWN WITH DEAD
Many Soldiers We're Stripped OF
Clothing by Terrific
Conclusion.

LONDON. Sept. S.-Describing the
effects of the British bonn mbardment Of
the German positions at Gr!llemont
the correspondent Of Reuters Tele-
gram company at British hoadquar-
ters in France says:
The ground east of the village was
stiewn with the German dead. The
corpses In many cases were stark
naked. every stitch of clothing ha wing
been blasted off them. very large
pre- portion of these bodies showed no
signs of wounds and there is little
doubt that the men were killed by the
intense bombardment concussion
Even in the dugouts few men escaped
tho bombardment and those who did
had their nerves destroyed by the ter
rifle pounding of the British guns"
The correspondent considers 1t sig
nificant that the ground won was not
bombarded by German field guns
which indicates, he says. that the
Toutons withdrew their field artillery
Out of range.

Tells Suffrage Association
Vote Will Come "in a
.AA Little While"
BUT HE DOES NOT
SAY HOW 1T WILL
Things Are Changed Since
the Civil War, That
May Account for 1t.

A rLANTIC CITY, Sept. S.-Tri-
n umph for the woman suffrage

by President Wilson here tonight In a
speech before the annual convention
OF the National American Woman's
Suffrage association.

YOU" the president declared. Imme-
diately four thousand women present
stood and cheered. A few minutes
later Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, hon
orary president of the association,
with MIR. Wilson still present. declared
we have waited long enough to get
tho vote. We want 1t now. | want
u TO come during your administra-
uon.' Again the great audience of
women stood and cheered, waving
handkerchiefs.
The presidents pledge of support
TO the suffrage question caused Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait. president OF
the organization, to say in speech soon
after he closed. you touched our
hearts and won our fealty when you
said you came here to fight with us"
Hc Sidcstcppcd Well.
The president did not speak on the
method by which he would bring
about woman suffrage. but said I'VE
SHAH not quarrel In the long run as
to the method of It."
The women In their speeches also
failed to mention the question of
method
The president was warmly ap-
plauded before, during and after his
speech with Mrs Wilson he sat dur
Ing several addresses. Fears ex-
pressed before the meeting that he
might be "heckled" did not ma
terialize, At the conclusion of his
address Mrs. Gait thanked him for
speaking.
Declaring that sometimes he be-
came "a little inpatient over discus
sions about the channels through
which votes for women are to come.
the president caused the delegates
to applaud by saying II have felt
here tho wholesome contagion of tho
occasion"
Make No Promises.
Mr.. Wilson aroused the greatest en-.
thusasm when he said whenever he
had come to Atlantic City previously
he had come to fight against some
body, but that on his present trip he
had come to fight with somebody"
The women in the boxes. the or
chestra and the balcony stood and
The meeting came to an end with
the president and Mrs. Wilson stand
Ing between suffrage leaders Joining
In singing patriotic songs.
In his address the president did not
mention his previously expressed be-
lief that suffrage should come
through action by the states.
At the time the United States was
formed. Mr.. Wilson said. only law
yer knew enough to run the nation,
but since the civil war the country
has been faced more and more by
social questions and women have
more and more taken an interest in
public affairs.
Things Are Changed.
"The whole nature Of our political
questions has been altered" he said.
Speaking of the future of the move
ment Mr.. Wilson declared that the
tide was rising and would come to its
flood
The president talked for Is min
utes. just the time occupied by the
other speakers. At the conclusion Of
his address he went TO his hotel. To-
morrow morning he will go to Long
Branch, n. j., by motor TO occupy his
