HUGHES is LEADING
FOR THE PRESIDENCY

Charles T.. Hughes has a slight adj
vantages in the first straw vote in The
Enquirer and New York Herald ma
tional presidential canvass.
1t is by no means sufficient to justi-
fly a prediction as to the outcome OF
the election on November Z.
Out of % states in which test bal
lots have been taken Hughes leads in
IS, Wilson in Z. The Is Hughes states
are Maryland, Massachusetts,, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont.
Maine, Iowa, North Dakota, Ohio. In
diana, California. New Mexico, Ne
yada and Minnesota.
The seven Wilson states are New
York, New Jersey, Washington, Ore
gon, Arizona, West Virginia and Ken
tuckey.
Ii should be explained that the vote
is yet too small to provide basis for
any definite calculation. Neither is it
yet sufficiently representative. 1t is
however, EXTREMITY illuminating. AL
together approximately $1,000 votes
have been gathered. Hughes receiv-
ed approximately 100 more than
Wilson
But it is the drifts from the stand
ards of four years ago which carry
the most significance. IL is these
drifts, in which must be sought the
key to the puzzle which will confront
the statistics.
From all that can be learned at
this time from the straw votes and
the observations of correspondents
who have travelled the country, no
one is going to walk away" with the
Presidency this year. There is moth
ing now to warrant the assertions of
some of the Republicans that Hughes
and Fairbanks would sweep the coun-
try. There is nothing to bear out the
declaration of some Democrats that
for keeping the nation at peace the
President would win the support of
all the Middle Western states, all the
rural communities and all the women
of the equal SUFFRAGE states.
On the other hand, there is every
indication that the battle for the
which is just beginning to
reach its interesting stages will be
one worth watching.

OBITUARY.

Mary Anna Hayden, daughter of
Nelson and Anna Hayden, died at the
home of Albert Francher in Audubon,
Iowa, on September %, 1915. She
was born in Huron, County, Ontario
December 10 1891. Her mother died
when she was but two years of age
leaving her care to the father who
afterward married again and in this
home she grew to young woman
hood and on November /, 1911 was
married to Walter Schrader at Wilcox
Sask, Canada. To this union was
born an only daughter who will never
know mothers sympathy and love.
After their marriage they came i'm
mediately to Audubon, Iowa which
has been their home ever since. She
has been long and patient sufferer
from tuberculosis and during her ILL
ness all that loving and kind hands
could do to minister to her wants was
done. The care that was given her
was of the best and those who gave
it can only be rewarded in the Resur-
rection day. For time she was in
Colorado in hopes that she might i'm
prove and the best of nurses was
provided but in spite of the battle
made for life the physical body gave
way and death came to release the
spirits that it might go to its long
home. While young girl OF sixteen
she made profession of her faith in
Christ and united with the Methodist
church in Canada andhas lived con-
sistent Christian life until her death.
She was of kind and loving dis
position and was greatly loved by all
who knew her. She was also devot-
ed companion and mother. She leaves
to mourn her death the husband, the
little daughter of four years of age
father, three brothers, a sister, and
many friends. At the time of her
death her age was "a years 8 months
and days. Clark Hayden, brother,
living in Audubon, is the only relative
| living in this country and the only
one of her immediate family present
at the time of her death. While it may
seem sad to see one so young moth
er taken from her little one leaving
the care of her to the companion, yet
! it may be the providence of God and
we must always yield to His will and
be able to say mot my will but Thine
be DONE" knowing that our loss is

The funeral services were conduct
ed from the First M. E. Church in
Audubon on Sunday, Oct. LIST at 2 p.
m. by The Rev. Jackson Giddens, the
pastor, and the remains were bourne
by loving hands to their last resting
place in Maple Grove cemetery.

about this being the law.

ABOUT THIS UeluS tue law.
Some people seem to think that we
are going to vote on bonds for roads
in this election. Far from it. Shall
the voters vote on bonds or shall the
supervisors issue them? That is the
road issue in Iowa.
The 1916 Republican platform
states:
1--WE are opposed to any bond issue
for surfacing roads, either by state,
county, township or road district, ex-
cept by consent of the parties, who
are to be taxed therefor
Our Republican nominees for both
House and Senator stand squarely on
this platform and Senator Foster
made record in the last legislature
in favor of lodging the power to issue
bonds directly with the voters rather
than the Board of Supervisors.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-At the
meeting of the national civic fedora
ton, held in this city, on motion Of
). w. Sullivan, member of New
York Typographical union, a resolu-
ton was passed to create a commit
tee OF five to collect AMI publish the

BIC MINERS UNION
WON A|MALcA|MA7E
United Mine Workers Conven.
ton Turns Down Plan for
Solidarity.

. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1O.-By a
unanimous vote the convention of the
United Mine Workers of America de-
cided not to amalgamate with the
Western Federation of Miners
This is in line with recommends
tons by a committee appointed by the
United Mine Workers. union to con-
slider the, question of amalgamation
with the metal miners. The commit
tee pointed out that the work of the
two unions-from a practical stand
points entirely different, and that
an amalgamation would weaken both
in their respective attempts to organ
ize the coal miners and the metal
miners. In referring to the differences
between the two industries, the re-
port says:
I'VE point to the fact that while the
metal mier, like the coal miner, is
called upon to brave the dangers Of
a common calling underground, that
the product of the metal miner in no.
wise enters into competition with
that of the coal miner: in fact, his
relationship to the coal mining indus
try is not so near, nor so important
in time of industrial strife, as that of
the. men employed in the transporter
ton Industry nor is his relation to
us from a competitive standpoint so
important as is that of the men en-
ployed in the production and market
ing of oil and gas, and in the plants
and waterpower sites used to gene
rate electrical power. We cite the
foregoing in order to make plain that
coal mining and metal mining are in
dustries separate and distinct so far
as the competitive relationship of
their product is concerned"
The convention supports this rec
ommendation of it's committee, which
also declares: "A continuation of our
present close relationship seems to
be all that is desired, and we so rec
ommend."

SUPPORT BRANDE|s
Declare He Is Foremost Leader
in New Thought Among
Attorneys.

BOSTON, Feb. 1O.-There are II
members of the Harvard law school
faculty, nine of whom unqualif1edly
indorse Louis D. Brandeis, according
to the Boston Post. One does not ap-
prove his appointment, and the other
has been several years in Siam and
press an opinion.
Roscoe Pound, professor of juris-
prudence and equity, said:
ITO have one of such stamp on
the bench of our highest court at this
time is a happy augury for the law.
Moreover, one could not ask better
opportunity to put the. work of his
hands into the immemorial and yet
freshly growing fabric of the common
law"
BrandeiS Knows Law.
Men say today that Brandeis does
not possess a judicial mind" says the
Boston Globe (Dem.) in an editorial.
"They are probably unaware of an in
cident in a Massachusetts court not
many years ago. A legal point was
raised with which the opposing at
torney admitted he was unfamiliar and
the judge offered to adjourn the court
so that the attorney could make in
vestlgation. The lawyer had come
from New York and did not wish. a
delay, so it was decided that Mr..
Brandeis should address the court on
the legal question raised.
For more than an hour Mr.. Brendeis
explained this law, going into its his
tory as far back as the old English
common law, and gave such an i'm
partial analysis of its ramifications
that both the opposing counsel and
the presiding judge expressed their
gratitude. Could any example be
cited better proving the judicial fair
ness of the man?"

Ohio Federation of Labor Makes
Careful Inquiry Into Young
town Trouble.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 10.-Gunmen
started the East Youngstown riot,
President Campbell of the Youngs-
town Sheet & Tube company opposes
night schools, and few children at
tend the public schools in that Ohio
mill town.
The above statements are made fea-
lures Of a report by President Voll and
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Donnelly of the
state federation of labor to the ex-
ecutive board of that organization
after personal investigation of con-
ditions in East Youngstown.
These unionists says, in part:
I'VE found that the private police
employed by the Youngstown Sheet
& Tube company were the aggressors
In the fighting preceding the riotfng
and therefore responsible for in
flaming the minds of the people. We
found there was no provision for the
education of foreigners, who largely
comprise the population. On the con-
trary, the company through it's presi-
dent, Mr.. James Campbell. objected
to night schools for these people. Out
of population of between 5000 and
10000, there are only 421 voters in
East Youngstown and LOO children
in the schools. But nine of these are
in the high school, 20 in the eighth
grade. 10 in the seventh, 80 in the
sixth, 81 in the fifth, 153. in the fourth
and S25 in the first, second and third.
AFTER years of exploitation, both
in and out of the mills, these men
struck as their only means Of protest
against inhuman methods forced upon
them through their ignorance and
complete economic control by the
companies. Compelled. to work -
hours day and seven days week,
progress or advancement, either So
clally, educationally or morally, is i'm
possible.
1.-The blame rightfully belongs upon
the great steamship companies and
trusts who, through advertisements
and agents., picture milk-and- honey
conditions to these people who are
enticed from their native lands for
the purpose of exploitation and lower
ing the wage and living standards of
American workmen."

six years in that industry, which had
so many violent strikes heretofore!
The famous protocol of peace, under
which about 100000 workers are to-
day operating, is largely due to him.
1.-The inexhaustible fund of patience
the thorough mastery of Industrial
problems, and the great spirit of fair
ness and sympathy that he brought to
this difficult task of labor mediation
are good guarantees of his fitness for
the post to which he has been named
"Brandeis is really the first man
who has ever been appointed to the
supreme court who can be said to rep
resent the people. It is because Bran
deis has been so fair to the under
dog that the over dogs are fighting
him now"
In this connection it is Interesting to
note again that Penrose of Pennsyl.
vania is one of those who has signified
himself as opposed to confirmation.
:, but I doubt if the hight against
him will be carried far" Lawyer Hill
quit continued. And most decidedly
Brandeis will bring into the supreme
court elements of human sympathy il
has long needed.
"Brandeis, just on account of his
so-called 'radicalism,' represents the
finest type of modern enlightenment
and progressive jurisprudence, and
for that reason his elevation to the
supreme court is a distinct benefit to
the nation.
with his power of personality, his
keenly analytical mind, he will un.
doubtedly have considerable influence
upon his associates, so that I believe
we can safely say his nomination, II
confirmed, may substantially contrib
ute to humanization of the supreme
COURT" -.

RAIL MEN COLLECT.
GREAT WAR CHEST
Four Brotherhoods Have More
Than $12, 900, 900 Ready for
Coming Pay Dispute.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The four
great railroad brotherhoods of the
United States have accumulated
through years of careful administra-
ton funds which aggregate more than
$12,000,000, according to the. World.
It is the present plan Of the leaders
of these unions to hazard every cent
of this in the. gigantic battle against
capital by which they expect to force
through nationwide strike, tying up
every mile of steam railroad in this
country, should the lines refuse the
demands to be presented soon after
March 1.
Plan Gigantic Strike.
OF this fund, approximately $4,000
900 belongs to the Brotherhood of To-
comotive Ftremen and Enginemen.
This union has nearly $1,000. mem
bers. It's fund was started in 1873.
w. S. Carter is its president and he
is the man who is universally credited
with being the originator and organ
izer of the plan for a countrywide
strike on steam railroads, following
the presentation of demands, and a re-
fusal to arbitrate, which labor leaders
themselves do not expect to be
granted
Carter, the World is reliably in
formed, has figured out the financial
side Of national railroad strike on a
basis substantially as follows:
That the aggregate funds Of the
four unions involved, now exceeding
$12,0O0,O00, be converted into one gen
eral strike war fund upon declara-
ton of a strike.

EVEN SOCIALISTS SUPPORT NOMINATION
OF BRANDElS FOR SUPREME COURT JUDGE

1.-The first representative of the
people, and not of the interests, who
has ever been given a place in the
highest tribunal of the land! If
Louis D. Brandeis' nomination is con-
flrmed, it will mark the; beginning of
the humanization of the supreme
court!''
Morris. Hilquit thus came to the
support Of the Boston lawyer whose
appointment, has so startled WASH
ington, and incidentally has furnished
beautiful opportunity for the people
to see in sudden, neat alignment the
senatorial forces of progress versus
those of reaction, Just when this align
ment was being jumbled up in more
or less non-partisan preparedness is
sues.
II have come into the closest OF
contact with Louis D. Brandeis on
many occasions in the last six years.
said Hilquit yesterday, This was in
connection with my work as repre-
sentative of the workers in the needle
industries, during the disputes that
have arisen, between them. and their
employers. 49,.
I'm all these cases Brandeis acted
neither as representative of labor nor
Of capital, but as mediator between
the two: And he is the: only man ]
know who has succeeded in gaining
the lasting confidence Of both sides
1.-The situation of mediator be-
tween capital and, labor is an -excep-
tionally difficult one, especially in
times Of acute dissensions. Brandeis
faced this situation in the most diff
cult industry in the country-the
needle workers, trade-and it is due
to his efforts, more than to those OF
any other individual, that there has
been a. measure of peace in the last
