Case in His Hands.
Kansas battle-ground for Big
S-Hour Law Fight.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 21.-Rep-
resentative w. c. Adamson, father of
the eight-hour law, after conference
with President Wilson, has announced
that congress would be asked to in
crease the interstate commerce COM
mission from seven to nine members.
The purpose would be, he said, to
bring wage disputes within the scope
of the commission.
The chiefs of the four big brother
hoods, Warren S. Stone. w. G. Lee,
L. E. Sheppard and w. s. Carter were
leaving the White House as Mr.
Adamson arrived. The leaders told
President Wilson they came to offer
congratulations on his reelection and
personally to assure him they felt safe
with their case in his hands.
Call Was Brief
The railroad men were with the
president less than ten minutes
When they left, Stone, chief of the To-
connective engineers, was asked if the
vote taken by the unions in August
declaring a strike would stand in the
event the eight-hour law is declared
unconstitutional.
I'VE will answer that later" he re-
Piled.
The union leaders appeared to have
been greatly pleased by the reception
accorded them by the president, not
withstanding their urwillingness to
L talk
According to Representative Ada H.
son. a feature of the proposed legis-
lation would be an instruction to the
commission to construe the commerce
act to mean that the rate taxing body
will also have the power to fix wages.
An effort will be made to enact the
entire program suggested by Presi-
dent wilson to congress last August.
r. r. Strike Suits.
Standing on the steps of the White
House, Mr. Adamson. who is chair
man of the interstate and foreign
committee of the house, characterized
the legal steps taken to test the con-
stitutionality of the eight-hour law
as strike suits" His statement was
accepted as representing the attitude
of the administration concerning the
efforts of the railroads to combat the
law.
1.-The railroad executives are angry
because they did not get an increase
in freight rates" Mr. Adamson de-
clared. president Wilson never made
any such promise. but the high priced
lawyers are now endeavoring to make
it appear that he did.
MY only regret is that we can not
fix the wages of the railroad president
and the lawyers who get big salaries
for such work.
There was a humorous twinkle in
Mr.. Adamson's eyes as he made the
last statement. 1t is not denied in adj
ministration circles, however, that the
fight that railroads are making has
prejudiced the case against them.
Begin Battle in Kansas.
The department of justice has taken
swift and decisive action to defend the
eight-hour law. Kansas was selected
as the battle-ground for the first Skin
mish in the courts. Two assistants of
the attorney generals office have
started west to meet the attack on the
law started by the Santa Fe and the
Union Pacific railroads.
The cases are set for hearing on
Thursday of this week and it is the
governments purpose to insist upon
an imm ediate argument on the consti-
nationality of the measure

SOLDIERS OF THREE OTHER DOUBTFUL STATES DID
 NOT VOTE.

Chicago from two or the five states now classed as doubt full voted on the Mexican border. These were the men of Minnesota, es- timated at about 2,100, and of North Dakota, which had one infantry regi- ment on the border.
 New Hampshire, California and New Mexico guardsmen outside their own states did not vote. West Virginia guardsmen could not vote.
 Returns from guardsmen's voting available thus far from official sources in their home states did not indicate that the soldiers had voted in man. ner radically different from the trend of the vote in their home states. In many organizations a good percen- tage of the men are under voting age.
 These returns did indicate that a few regiments had preponderance of voters belonging to one or the other of the two leading parties, and that was local condition, not determined by the home states political com plexion.
 The Minnesota guardsmen on the Mexican border are two infantry regi- ments, part of regiment of field ar tillery and one brigade headquarters, stationed at Llano Grande, Texas.
 The North Dakotans are at the same place.
 While the guardsmen infantry reg iments on the border number on the average more than 1000 men, in many organizations a good percentage of the men are under voting age.

REPUBLICANS TAKE
 STEPS FOR CONTEST
WIcKERSHAM TAKES CHARGE OF LEGAL FoRcEs-sENDs OUT
 INSTRUCTIONS.

New York. Y Republicans began marshalling their forces for the great legal battle they will wage for the presidency.
 George w. Wickersham, attorney general of the United States in the Taft cabinet, was placed in charge of the legal forces. He has already begun the collection of evidence on which to base contests in states that went to Wilson by small pluralities.
 Defensive preparations against Democratic contests are also being made in states which Hughes carried by narrow margins.
 MT. Wickersham has already sent telegrams of instructions to Republi- can leaders and his old associates in the Department of Justice in all states where there are likely to be contests.
 It has already been agreed that the Hughes managers will take steps to bring about recount of the votes in California, North Dakota, New Hamp. shire and New Mexico.
 At the conclusion of the confer ences at which this program was agreed upon, Chairman Wilcox made this announcements:
 No matter who wins, every vote should be counted as cast. We shall demand a recount in every state where the result was so close that ignorance or the mistake of election officials might change it.
 T am glad to see the Democrats are no longer making charges that the Republicans are trying to buy the cleo tion. 1 am sure the Democratic man. agers now appreciate that any charge was a mistake and should never have been made.
 We shall bring no contest on tech. nicalities. We shall undoubtedly seek a recount which will insure the accu- racy of the count in at least four states-C California, North Dakota, New Hampshire and New Mexico

The EXAMINERS VIEW.

San Francisco That President Wilson has carried California was in- creasingly evident when the count of 5,681 precincts out of the total of 5,S70 gave Wilson 460,7S9 and Hughes 458,409, lead of 2,3SO for the presi- dent.
 With less than 190 precincts to be heard from and most of these in Northern California, where Wilson is believed almost certain to run at least even, Hughes chances of getting Cal ifornia's 13 electoral votes is consid- cred hopeless unless the recount, which is sure to be demanded, mater ially changes the present count.-Ex- tract from lead of San Francisco Ex- aminer.

Sacramento, Cal-Because of the closeness of the contest between Pres. ident Wilson and Charles E. Hughes in California, it was predicted by Sec retary of State Frank c. Jordan that there is likely to be a split in the cleo toral vote of the two parties.
 Jordan said he was so sure that some of both the Republican and Dem. ocratic electors will be chosen that he has already decided to ask both parties to delegate representative to be present when the official count is made.
 The possibility of a split in the cleo toral vote of California was among the topics discussed at conferences in New York between MT. Hughes and party leaders.
 A split was regarded as unlikely, but a repetition of the situation Of 1912, when the state divided it's cleo toral vote between Wilson and Roose- welt, was regarded as not an entire ly remote possibility.
 The count will probably start soon after the semi-official count of votes has been made by the county boards of supervisors.
 Jordan says there is no provision of law providing for recount where the election for presidential electors is close, Congress relying upon the cer- tification of the states chief execu- tiyes, as the count has been made by secretary of state.
 In 1912 two Democratic electors were chosen in California along with eleven Republicans. There are sew eral other cases in the history of Cali fornfa where presidential elections have been so close as to split the cleo toral vote, says Jordan. This occurred in 1880, 1892 and 1896.

ure was mapped out.
 The contests planned must be first fought out in the state courts. Should the results there prove unsatisfactory the fight will eventually be carried to the House of Representatives
 The present plan is to take no for nal action beyond preparation until after the votes have been officially canvassed.
 In New Hampshire, attorneys, di- rected by National Committeeman Easterbrook, began preparation for a contest of the vote in that state. In every district of the state lawyers are now at work securing from the town clerks certified copies of the vote as returned by the election boards. This Is being done as protection against the destruction or disappearance of the ballots.
 Similar procedure has been ordered in North Dakota, New Mexico, and California. Preparations for a legal battle, either defensive or offensive. are also being made in Minnesota.
