WHY JuDGe E O SYKES J
SHOULD De ELECTED JUDGE
or THE SUPREME COURT

"edkt Il. ". o1hc-> OF Autr-
deem, now tho Supreme Court
Judge for this the Northern Dis
trict, will make a few speeches in
this county within the next few
days We believe that every voter
and every newspaper a. well
should speak out and discuss the
merits and demerits Of the candi-
dates for this important place; in
fact for all the Offices in the gift
of the people.
Why should Judge Sykes be
electedl First. because he Is prop
eriy trained. lie IS learned man.
He is a graduate of the State Uni
versity. After this he has had an
active practice in all the courts for
more than fifteen years. He is
young, active, patriotic and wor-
thy. He comes from a family of
eminent lawyers. When Gov.
BilbO appointed him, be threw
down q splendid law practice and
took up this work he is now in.
He has made good as Supreme
Judge; he has now been in the
work for about six months and
knows every detail of the work.
Why should he be misplaced BY
some one else Certainly not un-
less able and more unfit than any
Of his opponents. His opponents
would not and viii not claim they
are better lawyers then why elect
themi Judge McGowen is our
Chancellor; he was elected by the
people and gets 3, 10000 year.
Why does he want TO break the
'eoutract he has with the people
for four years; the people gave
him the contract; he asked for it:
If he wants 10 run and run fair
why not resign his place, forfeit
his contract with the people and
then runi Mr.. Knox Is also un-
der contract with the people for
four years at a nice salary Of
sa4O0-00 per year-$sO0.O0 per
month and he and Judge NIcGowen
have not resigned: they dare not
resign to make this race but are
running at the peoples expense: I:
they pretend to De caring for the
peoples interest while they run
but If they can become candidates
and spend all the time necessary
IN their race and then have time
to care for their jobs then they
ought to have their salaries re-
duced: they don't have to put in
full time. The voters ought to
look at this matter in a business
way Mr.. Knox has never hal
any experience a. Judge; his ex-
perience rs a lawyer has been very
limited and, with all due respect
TO him no one ever regarded him
As big lawyer by any means.
Judge McGOwen has no superior
claims The people in this coan-
" know very little Of Juige Me
Gowen; we never heard of ms
being any very superior Judge.
Then why displace Judge Sykes
whom every one admits has made
good and morei What Is the
reason these other two men are
running for this placei There
must be some good reason that the
average hyman does not under
stand.
We doubt seriously if either
Judge McGowen or Mr.. Knox ever
openly favored the election OF
Judges BY the people; they have
never favored the rule of the peo-
pie in politics; they have always
voted with the old Convention
crowd of politicians in this state,
then, why 50 in favor of the peo-
pie just nowi
Judge Sykes is entitled to be
elected from any viewpoint Adv.

WOULD HALT GERMAN GROWTH
BY STRANGLING EXPORTS

London, Jan. 11.-Insertion of a
clause in the peace agreement, bind
ing Germany to refrain from all ex-
port business for period of years,
is one of the methods suggested by
British trade experts to cripple Ger
man trade after the war, it was
learned today.
Leading London business men to-
day generally approved the state
ment made by Pres. Walter Runci-
man of the board of trade in COM
mons last night that Great Britain
must so cripple German commerce
that the Germans cannot again dis
pute world supremacy with the Brit
ish nation.

Enemies of the auto truck fender
ordinance were blamed for death OF
Miss Catharine Goggin by Aid. Ker-

order before council yesterday ask
ing Chief Healey why he had failed
to enforce the ordinance. Miss Cog

The city council has not been Off

illegal and Aid. Kerner wants to know
why the chief has failed to enforce

of the council

this deliberate disregard of orders of
the council may be attributed the re-
cent death of woman whose life was
one Of unselfish devotion to the best
interests of Chicago" said Kerner.
Gentlemen, how much longer are
you going to stand for this disregard
of your orders? 1 suppose tomorrow
I'll be accused of playing politics. If
that is called playing politics I'm
proud of it and 1 wish that more of
you would play politics. My people
sent me here to save their lives by
this ordinance and I'm going to do
it."
AID. James Kearns, chairman of
the compensation committee, had an
order passed by the council last night

CONQUEST OF WALLACHIA
COMPLETED BY TEUTONS:
RUSSIANS START DRIVE
MEXICANS EXPECT To
REPORT TO CARRANzA
Confident United States Will
Not Object to Two
Weeks Recess.

Atlantic City, Nov. 24.--When the
met today it appeared almost certain
that the request of Carranza's rep
resentatives for recess Of two weeks
would be granted. They were in
portunity to refer to their government
full account of the proposals made
by the American commission after
Secretary of the Interior Lane, chair
man Of the commission, had secured
from President Wilson his approval of
the plan. They were unwilling to sign
the agreement as 1T stands, however,
even after certain notifications had
been made, unless sanctioned by Car
rama to whom it was planned that
Alberto J. PAM, one of the commits
siOners, should render in person.
So certain were the Mexicans early
today that the recess would be grant
ed that Mr.. PAM had made all pre-
parations for leaving today for Quer-
arc, where the first chief is now at
tending the congress assembled for
the purpose Of drafting a new constt-
tuition 1t is understood that Luis Ca
brera, chairman of the commission,
will remain in the United States until
the joint commission reconvenes.
It was indicated that action on the
request of the Mexicans would have
| been taken yesterday but for the alb
| sence of DR.. J. r. Mott, one of the
/! American commissioners. DR.. Mott
returned today and was present when
the meeting began. The American
commissioners appeared to regard the
| determination Of the Mexicans to
place the question in the hands Of
| Carranza not as indicative of failure
| to effect an agreement, but merely rs
another day. 1t is understood that the
Mexican commissioners have been
prac tica1ly convinced that the agree
ment should be signed but that they

CITY is GROWING,
DIRECTORY SHOWS
Figures in New Publication Estimate
Present Population as Being
51,73O, a Pronounced Gain.

Figures published in the new 1916
city directory, distributed by the pub
fishers today, show that the present
estimated population of New Britain
is 51,730. These figures are derived
by multiplying the 22,996 names con-
tanned in the directory by two and
one quarter, an arithmetical compu-
tation agreed by census expertA The
directory shows that since 1915 there
have been 1868 changes in tho di-
rectory, including 1850 changes Of
address and an increase of 1910
names.
Using records in the 1915 directory
as a basis for computation it appears
that during the past year New Britain
has grown by 2,937. Since 1914 the
population has increased 1926. Where
during the 1915-1916 period the di-
rectory shows the addition of 1910
names, during the same period of a
Year ago the gain was only 81.
In addition to containing every
available name in the city, the di-
rectory contains special section in
which the various city streets are
printed in their alphabetical order
and containing the residential num-
Der and name of the residents. This
section also is so arranged that resi-
dents having telephones in their
homes are so designated. A business
directory is also an important part
Of the book as is an index to ad-
vertisers.
Many pages are devoted to infor-
nation concerning the city, such as
the officials, lodges, churches, ETC.,
and in addition to these facts are par
eel post rates and other mail informa-
ion, census records and similar items
OF general information.

FRANCE CALLS MORE MEN
Expects to Gain Many From Several
Hundred Thousand Previously Ex-
cmpt From Service in Army.

Paris Nov. "a, $40 a. m-The min
lister of war has introduced a bill in
the chamber of deputies by which all
persons exempted from military SER
vice or mustered out as physically I'M
fit, prior to April 1, 1916, must sub
NIT to a further medical examination.
During the first period of the war
the main object in recruiting was not
to overcrowd the depots and conse-
quently only the strongest men were
taken. The minister believes that of
several hundred thousand men thus
exempted an appreciate number will
be found on a less perfunctory medi-
cal examination to be capable of being
enrolled for the service. Certain de-
fects, hitherto considered inhibitive,
are not incompatible with service in
the artillery or even the fighting rank.

DENY SINKING BRITANNIC
German War Office Officials Saw Large
Number Aboard British Hospital
Ship Is Cause for Suspicion.

Londno, Nov. PA virtual dis
avowal that a German submarine had
anything to do with the sinking Of the
British hospital ship Britannia in the
Aegean sea is contained in a wireless
despatch today from Berlin, which
reads as follows:
According to the reports so far at
hand, the Britannia was proceeding
from England to SaIoniki. For a jour
ney in this direction the large mum Der
of persons on board was eXtraordinar-
lily striking and justifies a strong sus-
picion Of the misuse of hospital ship
for transport purposes.
'Inasmuch as the ship bore the
distinguishing marks of hospital
ship in accordance with regulations,
there naturally can be no question of
a German submarine in connection
with the sinking"

TREP0FF RUSSIAN PREMIER
Retiring Official, M. Sturmer, Appoint
ed Grand Chamberlain and Will

London, Nov. "a, II a. m.-Alexan-
der Trepoff Russian minister of rail-
ways, has been appointed premier ac-
cording to a Reuter- despatch from
Petrograd. The retiring premier, M.
Sturmer, by an imperial ukase has
been appointed grand chamberlain of
the imperial court, retaining his func-
tons as a member Of the council OF
the empire.
Petrograd newspapers say that the
appointm of M. Trepoff as premier
implies the necessity that the govern
ment make a communication to par
lament explaining the impending
problems connected with the work OF
the government.
The retirement of Premier Sturmer
and the appointment of M. Trepoff as
his successor probably are outgrowths
of what has been referred to in a
few carefully censored Petrograd de-
spatches recently as a serious politi-
cal crisis in the life of the Russian
nation. The change apparently i'm
plies victory for the liberal elements
of Russia over the bureaucry regime,
for M. Sturmer always has been
prominent in the affairs of the Rus
sian bureaucry while M Trepoff in
the past has engaged in variety of
reform work
