Clay, who used to talk to him
about national politics. So, when his
neighbors decided to send him to the
State Legislature and the Legislature
in Its turn elected him United States
Senator, he was equipped with a
useful knowledge Of the issues in dis
pute between the parties. But, with
all his intelligence. he has always lack
ed the gift of expressing himself on his
feet. Whatever he has had time to
write, he could put into direct and logi-
cal form; as soon, however, as he has
attempted to make an extemporaneous
speech, he has seemed to lose his
facility.
One funny experience in the Senate
illustrates the force of early association.
The chamber was in the midst of a pro-
longed and dreary debate, and Davis,
tired out with night sessions, fell into
doze. Suddenly Mr.. Thurman, of
Ohio, having made copIous drafts on
the Senate snuff box, blew into his big
bandanna handkerchief two short. quick
toots. Instantly Davis was on his feet,
with both hands grasping the sides of
his desk, and struggling for dearlife to
down brakes" in response to the sig
nal he had learned to obey automati-
cally in his youth.
Stephen B. Elkins, his son-in-law,
was for years obliged. as a Republican
party leader, to oppose HIM in political
campaigns. Davis, however, with the
ever-vigilant foresight which distln-
guished him in business had taken pains
to train his grandchildren in his own
partisan faith; and it used to delight the
neighbors when the little Elkins boys
organized their playmates into torch
light professions, and paraded on sum-
mer nights past their fathers house.

1t was the second day Of March, 1916,
The hill and wales were white with snow,
Not a green blade to be seen;
When cTer came bold Hollidaysburg
To play the OAKLAND TEAM.
The score at first was tit for tat.
They thought they were giving US run,
But ere long they found it out
That Oakland had not yet begun.
Then came two fouls for Oakland:
When the score was yet tie,
And SANNER made these two points
good,
Which started the score on high;
Then came our mighty center
With his fairy and magic art,
And pitched one with his sure right
hand,
That went through like Cupid's dart.
Then GIESSMAN like a wrought iron
safe
That guards mint of gold;
From counting up these most cherished
points
His men to the floor did hold.
Like western hurricane
Down came the fieety CHANCE,
From shooting they did sure retreat
Before his swift advance.
Riedler, like George Washington.
Calmly held his ground;
But when the ball came up the floor.
1t went back like frightened hound.
SINCELL, like an Arabs horse.
Who fears his masters doom,
Plunged through their strongest ranks,
And brought his prizes home.
When the whistle blew tor time
1t seemed so easy and so fine
For OAKLAND won the victory.
Sixteen to twenty
FRANTZ stood beyond the foul line
All ready for the fray,
But his good work wasn't needed
For the rest could gain the day.
KILDOW was the refereej
And treated both sides fair.
You say that ye have not cold feet
Then come up bold Keyser,
And meet this mighty team
On the Garrett county crest
Here you'll meet your Waterloo.
Mid snow and pine trees green,
Because OAKLAND will trim YOU
Up fair but trim you clean.
Now teams of foreign cities
Bear this in mind players,
That when you come to Oakland
Here is the team you'll find

The swiftest to advance.

Mr.. James Campbell. of AIleeany
County, Deems 1r. Weinbers's
Challenge to Senator Zihlman
Unfair and Unnecessary.

To the Editor of The Republican.
The challenge of Mr.. Weinberg, can
didate for Congress from Allegany
county, to Mr.. Zihlman present State
Senator and candidate for Congress
from Allegany county, is so trans
parently unnecessary and unfair as to
call in question any past, present or
prospective claim Mr.. Weinberg may
have as justification in asking the
constituency of the Sixth Congressional
District for further consideration as a
candidate for this high and exalted
position.
AsIMr Weinberg and Mr.. Zihlman
are from the same district, candidates
for the same office and must stand for
and advocate every plank in the
National and State platforms, there
can be no controversy between them
and consequently nothing TO debate.
Mr.. Weinberg knows this and while he
has sufficient honor to deter him from
making an open and unfair canvass while
Senator Zihlman as usual is faithfully
and ably caring for the interests of and
upholding the principles of the Repub-
lican party as minority leader in the
State Senate, every hour of his time
being devoted to the interest of his
constituency. Mr.. Weinberg knows
this; he knows that to make an open
canvass of the District while Mr..
Zihlman is tied up would bring down
upon him the justifiable censure of all
fairminded men. Hence his flmsy at.
tempt in issuing q challenge to get be-
fore the people that he might gain in.
tluence and votes by his great eloquence
and oratory, the only asset to the best
of my knowledge that he possesses in
asking the support from the Republi
can party of our District. If Mr..
Weinberg is such an able orator, where
was his eloquence when Mr.. Zihlman
was touring the Sixth District in 1914
and Mr.. Weinberg could not find time
to even raise his voice in the interest
of the party and its standard bearer.
While Senator Zihlman has faithfully
served his people, led the fight that
resulted in such an unprecedented
majority in his home county for Mr..
Weller for Governor, what has Mr..
Weinberg done to establish a claim
from our people as a candidate for
Congress.
While every citizen is privileged to
aspire for any office within the gift of
the people, we claim the battles fought
by MIR. Zihlman for our party, for and
in the interest of our people entities
him to the nomination to Congress with
out opposition. But with or without
opposition | believe the people will
nominate him, and certainly hope that
his own good judgment will guide him
in declining Mr.. Weinberg's challenge
where he has nothing to gain. His
reputation as clean man of the people,
an able and competent leader in the
ranks of the Republican party is so well
established that no man can truthfullv
assail it.

Adamson Law Litigation,
Strike Threats, and Con-
gressional Activity
THE PRESIDENT
TO TAKE PART
Not Only in Legislation, but
in Operation of Roads
in Event of Strike

Washington, Nov, l7.-Signs multi
piled yesterday that a great battle, or
series of battles, is to be fought this
winter over railroad questions of the
first magnitude.
With the railroads seeking to enioin
enforcement of the Adamson law and
the administration and the brotherhoods
taking steps TO compel its enforcement
there is trouble ahead on this score. 1t
il intensified by the threat of the broth
erhoods to strike and by the disposition
of large element in Congress to force
through law like the Canadian disputes
act. President Wilson has promised to
further such legislation. Should a strike
come, there is every reason to believe the
president will take prompt steps to OPP
crate the roads
That there will be no end of compi-
cations over the Adamson measure in the
courts, in Congress and in the relations
OF the roads and men is universally be
lieved
The labor matter. however, is but one
of the great railroad problems now loom
ing Yesterday the National Association
Iof Railway Commissioners, through its
committee on state and federal control,
strongly opposed Capitalization OF more
power over the roads in the hands of the
federal government Laurence b. Finn OF
Kentucky, chairman OF the committee,
charged that the railroads were making
"a great organized campaign for enhanced
federal control and trying to influence
Congress in that direction.
The joint subcommittee of Congress-
which is to meet next Monday, will have
the whole series Of railway problems be
fore it, including government ownership.
The subcommittee has sent notices to
every state governor and attorney general
and all state railroad commissions, to
commercial and industrial organizations,
and to the president of every railroad in
the country.
Acceptances received include Samuel
Rea, president of the Pennsylvania; Otto

BRITAIN FAVORS
FOOD DICTATOR
The Nation a Unit in Sup
port Of the Runci-
man Plan
TO PREVENT
ALL WASTE
Retail Prices Are Up Is Per
Cent. Since the
War

London, Nov. H. England is n unit
to-day in support OF the governments
food dictatorship plan. Not newspaper
nor an individual, apparently, in the
whole United Kingdom voiced criticism
of the plans announced in Parliament
Wednesday by Walter Runciman con.
templating conservation of England :
food supply The only criticisms heard
were that the governmental control had
been overlong delayed and that the pre-
liminary plans, as announced, were in
sufficiently sweeping or drastic
II is known however, that Runciman's
announcement was purely preliminary
and that he did not reveal all the steps
of control which the government has de-
termined upon. The food dictatorship,
il is said, may eventually Quito even the
thoroughpess of the German system.
The British people are fully prepared
for the sacrifices which it is realized will
be consequent upon operation of the new
plan. The public is all the more willing
to submit to the hardships OF controlled
food supply in view Of the thrilling
stories of British army heroism now
reaching here.
It was accepted here that the first ac-
tivities of the new dictatorship would
have to do with limitation on the use OF
sugar in costly confectionery. Of indis-
eliminate feeding to animals Of vege-
tables suitable for human consumption
and of wasteful use Of white -four and
potatoes.
Retail food prices, according to semi
official statistics available yesterday,
show that in year there has been an in
crease of about p per cent Prices now
are about rs per cent higher than they
were prior to the war. But on such
staples as eggs, potatoes. fish and sugar
the prices have nearly doubled.

A. +. OF l.. PLANNING
FOR UNIVERSAL
S-HOUR LAW
The Federation Counts on Force Of Or
ganization to Obtain

Baltimore, Nov. l7.-Leaders of the
four railway brotherhods will address
the American Federation of Labor con-
vention here next week on the eight hour
principle. Their appearance is expected
to mark the beginning Of concerted
fight for the recognition Of eight hours
as working day for all classes of EN-
ployes.
AT the same time the appearance OF
the brotherhood leaders Warren S.
Stone of the engineers, A. b. Garretson
of the conductors, W. G. Lee of the train
men and W. S. Carter of the fremen--i Is
| expected also to hasten the coalition of
the brotherhoods with the federation.
/ Labor leaders hope to force an eight
hour day, not through legislation but
through the power OF organized labor
1--WE are afraid OF legislation" the high
federation official who revealed the above
plan said. "What is done by legislation
can be undone. We want to put through
an eight hour day principle by direct ne
gotiation with private employers through
the force of organized labor.
"We want, ii possible, to extend the
eight-hour day to all industries. 1t is
undisputed that it makes for efficiency
A man can do more and better work in
eight hours, when results are tabulated
than he can in a longer day. At pres
ent the ship building trade comprising
machinists, boierrnakers and other I'M
ionshas no standard day. The govern
ment navy yards work their men eight
hours a day. Private shipbuilders work
their employees nine or ten or more hours
a day, We are going to try to obtain
recognition Of the eight hour day in this
trade and also in the iron and steel in
dustries."
Labor leaders, it was said, have been
encouraged by recent statements Of
President Wilson that the eight hour day
was Inevitable. They expect to stand
behind the government in its fight to
prove the constitutionality of the Adam
son law.
The cooperation of the brotherhoods
and the federation in the eight hour day
fight will mean the coalition Of the two
great organizations in time, leaders here
agree, 1t will not be at this convention,
but perhaps at the next, they think.
The federation's fight for the eight
hour day is expected to be based on the
report of the executive committee, which
speaks strongly OF the necessity for ma
basic working day 1t is considered like
~ that when the federation delegates
visit President Wilson tomorrow they
will discuss this question with him and
ask for advice.
