TWO WOMEN RUN
 FOR CONGRESS IN
 WESTERN STATES
Total of 46 Women Seek Election to Various Of-
 ficial Offices.

| New York, Nov 6.-Official lists of candidates of recognized parties for the congressional and state elections co1nc1dent with the presidential vot- ing on November ' show that there will be at least two women running for Congress and more than two score women in the contest for state offices, ranging from governor down.
 In Montana Jeannette Rankin is the regular Republican nominee for Con- gress and in Colorado Hattie K. How ard is running on Progressive ticket
 The Associated Press has just com piled all of the state tickets from every state in the Union and it ap- pears from these lists that there are exactly 46 women candidates for var fous state offices. This figure may bes lightly reduced or increased by the fact that some names which al- most certainty seem to be those of women are in rare cases also names of men, and it is possible that some women have escaped identification by the use of initials instead of their full name, but the figures given, if not precise are interesting, since they de- velop the following facts:
 Of the 46 women seeking state of- fices the majority (24) are nominees of the Socialist party.
 Idaho is the only state in the Uni- ted States where a woman is candi- date for governor, Annie B. Triplow, being the Socialist nominee for chief executive there.
 There are thirteen other states throughout the country where women are seeking state offices, namely, -Ari- zona, Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Illi- nois, and Kansas.
 In Washington there are two wo- men candidates, Prohibitionist and So- cialist, for the office of Lieutenant and two women of the same parties for State Treasurer.
 In Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ari- zona, Colorado and Kansas there are women candidates for Secretary of State. Various other offices ,princi- pally as trustees of state universities, or superintendents of public insruc- tion, are those for which women have been named. In only one or two rare instances does it appear that the wo- men candidates are now holding the office for which they seek election.

sesds Final Word of Cam paign to County and State Leaders Victory at Hand, He Believes, But Urges One Last Drive.

Asbury Park, N. J., Nov. 6|Presi- dent Wilson last night wired his final word of the campaign to the men who have worked tirelessly to bring about his reelection. this telegram, being sent to every state and county chairman in the country:
 '.'I thank you heartily for the splen- did work done by you and by all the workers in the cause of progressive principles at issue in this campaign.
 The fight is won, fully believe; though I take this means of urging you to renewed exertions and vigi- lance to see that belated efforts to confuse the public judgment do not succeed.
 4"Our country is prosperous, secure and happy; and it's prosperity is upon a sound basis. Steps to protect our commerce and industry in any emer- gency after the European war ends have been taken. The anti-dumping clause of the so-called War Revenue Act provides the Executive with am pie power to prevent the dumping of European surplus manufactures upon our markets. The Tariff Com missionswill shortly be appointed and at work to provide the facts which will determine what other legislation is necessary or desirable. I need not add that the Federal Reserve Act is a guarantee against panics and that the Federal Trade Commission will aid, as it already has helped, to preserve the stability of our domestic and for eign commerce.
 f'I am confident that the, time has passed in America when votes can be bought, the ballot box defiled by cor rupt practise, or the judgments of the American people determined or in fluenced in any way by the use of money. It is. however, our duty to take every precaution. lest conscience less agents of the sinister forces work ing in opposition to progressive prin- ciples and popular government resort in their desperation to industrial CO., ercion or to the evil and insidious lIractices of [ decade and more ago.

FULTz REPORT SHOWS
FRATERNITY GROWING
Organization Has Total Membership
of l.2i5-Reports Are Denied.

The annual report of President David
L. Fultz, Of the Baseball Players Fra
ternity, just issued, shows that the or
ganization now has a total Of 1.15 MEM
bers. During the year the fraternity took
action In the way Of giving advice to
players in $40 cases and a majority of
cases brought before the National Com
mission and the National Board of Arbi-
tration were decided in favor Of the
players.
That there may be trouble between the
fraternity and several major and minor
league clubs is indicated by Fultz's state
ment that he has received Information
that club owners in at least FIVE major
and minor league cities have forbidden
their players to become members q the
fraternity, thereby violating the frater-
nifty agreement which says there shall be
no discrimination against its members by
club owners.
Denial from Connie Mack. Of the Ath-
letics. and J. c. McGill. of the Indian
apolis club. two of the clubs mentioned
in Fultz's report, have already been
made.
Action on the widely advertised threat
Of the fraternity to call a strike unless
certain demands are granted. will prob
ably be deferred until after the meetings
Of the two major leagues next week.

VIRGINIA ELEVEN
AFTER THE MOHAWKS

Sporting Editor The Washington Herald:
Late IN September the. Mohawk Ath-
letic Club addressed letter to the AIex-
andria County Athletic Association ask
ing Tor game with the football team
OF that organization, but since at that
time 1t was not decided definitely that
we would have a football team, no action
was taken. We are now looking for
ward to next year and have gotten to-
gether a pretty formidable organization,
all bonafide members of the association,
and we are anxious to play Manager Nc
Clure's team at Union League Park on
Sunday, December II.
His team has played practically every
organization of consequence in the Dis
trict, as well as several Maryland teams,
and we consider 1t but fair that he should
be willing to meet Virginia team, We
feel sure that we could give him a game
worth while, which would prove to be
equally as good a drawing card as the
Mohawk-Southern game last Sunday.

THE MOHAWKS' TITLE
The Sporting E

The Sporting Editor, The Washington
Herald:
The Engineer football team of WASH
ington Barracks, D. c., does not concede
the District championship to the Mohawk
Athletic Club or to any other football
team In this vicinity.
The writer of this challenge does not
believe that the Mohawk team Is Of the
caliber to administer a defeat to the En-
g1neer team now at the Barracks, and
from the concensus OF opinion expressed
at the game Sunday, the public does not
think so either, and in fairness to the
public the Mohawk Athletic Club will
have to play US for said championship.
The manager of the Mohawks cannot
come back and say that we nave no team,
for that line of athletics is compulsory
at the barracks. and we stand ready to
meet any team in any line OF athletics
in the District
We were late returning from Platts-
burg and the border and for that reason
was unable to book any teams of reput+,
and as the public knows the Engineers
have not in the past twelve years let
any team get away with the District
Championship without playing US at the
close Of the season.
Therefore Mr.. Mcclure of the Mo-
hawks, We as the undefeated champions
OF the District, since 1913, challenge YOU
to game of football to be played before
the termination Of this playing season,
preferably this Sunday. Dec 10, 1916. In
dependent playing season Is considered
closed on New Years day.
We have representative team and no
Charges Of professionalism will be toIer-
ated, as the list of players we submit to
you are members of this garrison, their
status can be certified
You have not played a real team this
year and the public demands that your
team meet one. We and the public at
Large will admit that you have a snappy
organization. but you are only a few
years old.
Everyone knows what kind of team
that the Engineers turn out, so it is I'D
to you to meet class.

CHANGES ARE NEEDED
IN FOOTBALL RULES
Interest in Game Can Be Increased.b by
Doctoring Forward Pass Code.

New York, Dec. 4-Only two games re-
main to be played before the football
year goes down into history. Next Sat
urday at New Orleans Georgetown will
meet Tulane, while on New Years Day,
at Pasadena, Cal. Pennsylvania will seek
new honors against Oregon. Taken all In
all. the campaign has proved one of the
most interesting and most successful In
the history of the sport.
Records for attendance have gone soar
ing to heights never before approached.
Popular interest has developed with a
wider knowledge of the finer points OF
the game, but there is still great progress
to be made before it acquires anything
like an intimate acquaintance with the
wherefore for everything that happens on
the gridiron. 1t is the duty of the rules
committee to simplify and make more
explicit certain features Of the code.
The season has developed new and
greater possihilities of football, but it has
also brought out the need for changes In
the rules, especially those concerning the
forward pass. AS we pointed out some
time ago, the rule which provides for a
penalty Of only 15 yards for roughing the
receiver of forward pass nullifies a lot
Of the good of the aerial attack.
Most passes are for at least Is yards
and 1t pays the defending side to get
the roughing is passed off without a pen
atty. 1t behooves the rules committee to
change the rule SO that a pass in which
the receiver is roughed should be regard
ed as completed and an additional pen
atty of Is yards inflicted. This would
prove q boon for the game in general and
the lighter teams in particular.
Another change called for Is the pro-
hibition of the practice Of cutting down
man from behind. At the rules clari-
fication meeting last September Foster
Sanford made a plea for that change
We have seen numerous accidents due
to cutting down from behind. The play
mas no place in civilized warfare and
should be eliminated. 1t is not fair and
it is not football.
There is likely to be another assault or
the goal from touchdown, which was the
direct cause for the defeat of several bet
ter teams this season. The goal from
touchdown seems to have outlived its
usefulness and might be eliminated with
little cause for regret

STILL SoUABBLING,
Not Satisfied with Result of the
YaIe-Harvard Game.

Boston. Mass, Dec. 4-The Boston
Globe this morning publishes a two-col-
unn story under the heading Five Min
utes Lost In Harvard-Yale Contest" 1t
is in part as follows:
1t has already been recorded that for
tune played an important part in the re-
cent Harvard-Yal football game at New
Haven, and that the Cambridge team had
more OF the bad luck.
1t now transpires. in addition. that
Harvard was deprived Of a considerable
amount of playing time in the first
period Of the game. when the wind ia
vored Capt Dadmun's eleven.
Everybody who is used TO attending
football games realized that the first
period Of the game in New Haven took
an unusually small amount of gross
time, but the explanation given and gen.
orally accepted, was that almost no time
had been taken out for delays
1t appears. however. that that inter-
probation Of the facts does not cover the
case, since not only the gross time, but
also the actual playing time, of the first
period was materially less than that of
the other periods In the game
This article Is not intended as a reflec-
ton on Dr. Carl s. Williams, the former
University of Pennsylvania football play
ier, who was field Judge and timekeeper
in the recent game in the bowl He has
had experience as an official and is
doubtless as well qualified as any man
in the country to keep time in an impor-
tant gafne; the only suggestion is that
his watch must have been wrong.
In corroboration of this hypothesis it
may be stated that other timers, who
were keeping watch Of the game, almost
as closely as DE. Williams, but not ON
cially. made the playing time OF the first
period considerably less than fifteen min
