GOV. BRUMbAUGH
FOR PRESIDENT
Assents to Use Of His Name
at the Primaries.

Harrisburg, Pa, March 13.-Gover
nor Martin G. Brumbaugh gave assent
to the placing of his name on the
Pennsylvania primary ballot as can
didate for the Republican nomination
for president.
His announcement was in reply to
a letter of February II, from Henry
G. WATSON, Republican national com
mitteeman from Pennsylvania, asking
the governor for consent to use his
name.
The governor makes it plain In his
answer, dated March 9, that in so do
ing his only aim is to bring about a
united party and that he regards his
prospective candidacy more in the
light of q favorite son movement te
present a united front from the state
at the Chicago convention.
Mr.. WATSON, in his letter, declares
that the Republican party will &c
down to defeat, possibly out Of exist
ence, If the same leaders in control
in 1912 again are suffered to head
delegations and dominate the conven
ton. He calls for competent leader
ship in 1916. So that both wings oil
the party may work in unison.
"Your record of party pledges re
deemed and party pledges advocated
Is without parallel in the history OF
Pennsylvania politics, and challenges
comparison with that of any executive
In the nation the governor is told
'It is only upon a platform such as
your record provides that the Repub
ncan and Progressive parties can
unite, both in the state and in the
nation"

MINERS TO FIGHT
FOR 8-H0UR DAY
Hard Coal Men Will Use Every
Effort to Obtain II.

New York, March 13.-Discussion Of
the eight-hour day demand of the an
thracite coal miners was continued at
the conference of the subcommittee
Of miners and operators, but no decis-
ion was reached, according to state.
ment issued by James A. German. sec
rotary of the committee.
Discussion on this demand will be
renewed and is one for which the min.
ers said they promised to fight with
all the power at their command, mas
much as an eight-hour day now Is en-
joyed by the miners In the bitumin-
Gus field.
John P. White, president OF the
United Mine Workers, said he would
insist on quicker action by the opera,
tors than during the recent bituminous
conference, explaining that he had
made a mistake In allowing the latter
conference to take up so much time.
Otherwise, the miners could have ex.
acted better terms, he thought.
One reason the miners desire an
early conclusion Of the conference
was based, it was said, on the assump-
ton that the operators were piling up
coal around the mines and along the
railroads. It was admitted, however,
that the present freight congestion
on the eastern roads and the shortage
of cars made it necessary in some de-
gree to pile up coal. Representative
of the operators intimated that, what.
ever concessions might be made on
other demands, recognition of the min
ers' union is a demand to which the
operators are firmly and unanimously
opposed.
