BURsUM WILL BE NOMINATED

Mr.. Bursum is practically assur
ed Of the republican nomination
for governor. Even the Albuquer-
que Journal, paper that can
hardly be accused Of being partial
10 him, estimates that he will have
good safe majority over all com
petitors in the state convention
The probability that Mr. Bursum
will be elected is equally strong
He was beaten for the governorship
at the first state election, to be
sure, but political conditions in
the commonwealth have changed
radically since then. At least nine
ty per cent of the .evsral thousand
progressive votes that were cast
against him years ago will be cast
for him at the approaching election
and, besides, at least two strongly
republican counties that went over
into the democratic column because
ui factional differences are now

Admiral Claims u. S. Does
Not Have Half Enough Men
Even For Present Navy

Washington, Feb. 2S-The navy is
not ready 10 exert more than fifty per
cent. of its strength in ships and guns,
Rear Admiral Austin NJ. Knight, presi-
dent of the Navy War College, to-day,
told the House Naval committee. He
urged the immediate addition of 25.-
600 enlisted men and construction of
battle cruisers and scouting craft to
meet the situation.
American battleships the admiral
said are equal TO any built and officers
and men of the fleet are we'll trained
and efficient. but if the Atlantic fleet
We're ordered out to-day to defend
the whole coast line it would be un-
able to take all its available ships for
lack of men and would be compelled
to fight blindfolded for lack of
scouts.
Admiral Knight submitted a sketch
of possible naval movements in the
Atlantic to show that an enemy fleet
could strike virtually where it pleased
unless scouting craft was provided to
find it. The first step in the building
program this year, he said, should be
the authorization of six battle cruisers
and eight scouts, all with a speed of
So knots.

Profaning of the Sabbath by FOL
lowing the ordinary pursuits of busi-
ness or labor or by goddess and sinful
holiday diversions" was condemned in
no uncertain language before the East
Pennsylvania Conference of the United
Evangelical Church this morning in a
report of a committee headed by the
Rev. j. F. Gross. of Lancaster.
The report urges the ministers of
the conference TO do all within their
power to suppress tendencies which
may lead to Sabbath PROCLAMATION, such
as the holding open for business their
shops or stores; patronizing of Sunday
excursions; countenancinE of Sunday
newspapers in the homes of our men,
bers; the indulgence in or the encour-
aging of Sunday sports; and all other
practices which may effect the highest
ideal of Sabbath observance"
The committee also urged upon the
summer campmeetings a more strict
observance of the Lords Day. 1t is
recommended in the report that every
minister of the conference set aside a
special Sunday for a sermon on the
sac redness of the Sabbath.
Much of the business of the confer
ence this morning was taken up with
the election of routine officers. The
election of the following trustees for
Albright College, at Myerstown. was
announced: The Rev. A. NJ. Sampsel,
