BY SAFE MARGIN

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2G.-Addi-

night from yesterdays statewide Dem
ocratic primary failed to reduce the
lead Of Ruffin G.. Pleasant of Shreye-
port present attorney general, over
Thomas c. Barrot, also of Shreveport

gubcrnatorial nomination. Mr.. Pleas
ants majority was estimated at 10000.
Mr. Barret tonight sent a telegram to
Mr.. Pleasant ConCedng his defeat.
rhe state election will be held April
lS
The contest for lieutenant governor
apparently has narrowed down to two
of the five asprants, Fernand Mouton
Of Lafayette ana Ferd Claiborne OF
New Roads. Mr.. Mouton received ap-
proXimately $4,000 majority in New
orleans, but Mr.. Claiborne's country
vote may overcome this vote, 1t prob
ably viii require the complete returns
to determine the result of this contest.
There was un usual delay in the re-
turns from the country parishes owing
to the length of the ballot and inter-
est taken in local issues.

LONDON, Jan. ~ Rumor persists
that Sir John A. Simon, the home Sec
retary, actually rendered his resigna-
tion from the Asquith cabinet, but
that it was not accepted.
Simon is one of the most ardent
foes of conscription. the issue which
threatens to disrupt the cabinet 1t
is said that Simon's resignation was
not accepted in the hope that after
due reflection 1t would be withdrawn.
Retinald McKenna. chancellor Of
the eXchequer, and Walter Runciman,
president of the board of trade, are
also opposing the conscription issue
on the ground of the financial strain
of a large army, and because it will
drain the country of the men required
to maintain industrial and CONNER
cial efficiency.

Convention.
WHITE IS ENDORSED
Proposition to Reduce Size
Of Meeting Finds OPP
position.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 20
After a long discussion in convention
today the delegates representing
nearly four hundred thousand union
coal miners in the United States de-
cided that in the event new wage
scales have not been negotiated by
the time existing contracts expire,
they will remain at work so long as
there is hope of drawing up agree
ments This decision of the United
Mine Workers Of America was made
by an Overwhelming majority, and
iudorses the policy Of President John
=. White.
When the convention adjourned un-
til tomorrow it was in the midst of
a discussion over the alleged bribery
case i'm the southwest territory where
a former district president and a for
mer district secretary were accused
of Selling out the organization.
COuntCrsuits i'm the case are now in
the civil courts of Kansas. The com
mittee on officers reports approved
the action taken by President White,
who had urged the accused to take
the matter into courts for yindica-
ton. The committee further re-
ported Suggestion" that Alexander
HOWatt of Pittsburg, Kan, one of
the men involved i'm the case and
who has again been elected president
Of the Kansas miners do not assume
his office on April 1 if he has not
been Vindicated by the courts at that
time, and further suggested" that he
refrain from participating in wage
conferences i'm his jurisdiction until
the courts have vindiCated him.
HOWatt Defends Himself.
Howatt took the floor in defense Of
himself, declaring he was not guilty
of taking money to influence his at
titude in negotiating a wage scale.
a proposition to reduce the size Of
the international convention, recon-
mendcd by President White, provoked
SO much opposition that it was re-
ferred to the committee on Constitu-
ton.
Declarations were made on the floor
Of the convention that the proposed
change was not in the interest "of
the man with the pick" but was more
for the benefit of the officers of the
