MIR, BUSHONG FOR EDITOR.

B. M. Bushong, who for Some time was managing editor of the Bridgeport Union is now editor of the Richmond State, which publication has recently passed into the hands of new owners. The State was at one time one of the most influential papers south of the Mason & Dixon line, but of late years has not kept pace with the progress sive journalistic procession which Sits more wealthy contemporaries have "The new proprietors, however, are reputed to be worth millions and they have declared their intentions to place The State upon a par with any pub licationi in the South. Over $30O,000 it is said will be invested in the plant.
 Mir. BuShons, who has been afcon- tributor to many of the Southern pa pers during and since his residence here, has been doing special political work for the state since the opening of the campaign. When the paper changed hands he was tehdered the editorship which he accepred. The many local friends of "Bush" will be pleased to hear of his good fortune, as he was one of the most popular newspaper men that ever labored in this city.

HUGHES CLAIMS
 SCOFFED AT BY
 A.B. GA!RRETS0N
President of Railwaymen's Union Says Candidate
 Is Insincere.

New York, Oct 12-Candidate Hughes assertion that he believes in the principle of the eight hour day drew sharp reply today from A. B.. Garretson of Iowa, President of the Order of Railway Conductors, and spokesman for the railroad men dur ing the recent negotiations. MT. Gar retson has been a lifelong Repubi- can.
 In the statement made public today MT. Garretson says:
 ''The man who attacks the eight hour settlement for railway operatives as only a wage bill will have difficulty in convincing the American public that he really believes in an eight hour day.
 "He makes apparent that he is will ing to extol the eight-hour day in public utterances, but he holds mak- ing it actually operative asA deadly sin.
 "He avows his undying devotion to the principle of the eight-hour day, and then assails the action of the Pres ident of the United States for his ef- fort to practically apply those ~behefs on the ground that aN few score of years should have been used for calm deliberation,' ignoring the fact that centuries past have been available for consideration.
 "If train and engine employees had only approached the problem as a wage proposition they would never have included punitive overtime in their proposition because punitive overtime is penalty for the working of excess hours. and it was only on the insistent demand of the President of the United States that they waived that feature of their proposal.
 '"The real kernel of the situation is this: Will the man who labors vote to continue in office President whose action shows that he< believes in an eight-hour day and believes in giving it noM or will he vote to place in of flee a man who says he believes in an eight-hour day but favors actually ap.- plying it after you are dead?
 "Do they want it here and now or do they want it embalmed with the heavenly harp and crown where moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through and steaP."
