TOLEDO, Oct. 3l.-The closing week
OF the mayoralty contest sees interest
in the contest by Cornell Schneider
and Robert Haworth.
Under the city charter local munich
pal elections are supposed to be non.
partisan, but owing to the death of
George Murphey, the third man NOM
mated in the September primaries, the
contest for Mayor has developed into
a bitter fight between Cornell Schrei-
Der, Democrat, and Robert Haworth,
Socialist.
The Socialists are confident of vic
tory through the support of the pro-
German vote, the pacifst vote. the
People's Church vote, the naturalized
vote and the support of rebellious Re-
publican fractional leaders.
For the benefit Of voters who are
suspicious of the un-American attitude
of the Socialist party, the Toledo So
cialist Committee has come out with a
statement that, il elected, Haworth will
obey the laws and the Constitution.
But he says he does not in any sense
repudiste the pro-German platform OF
the Socialist party.
Schrieber in all his speeches bitterly
attacks Haworth's pro-German stand
and alleges no true American citizen
can vote for Haworth. All the news
papers in the city are working tooth
and nail TO defeat Haworth, giving COL
umns of free front page space and edi-
torials to the Schneider cause in an eff
fort to save Toledo from what they
called certain disgrace should the
voters Of this city elect Haworth
Mayor.

tirely, and has raised the question. as
it has been raised in New YORK,
whether the city is to become in the
eyes Of the country community OF
loyalty or disloyalty. During the CAM
paign proper the Socialists have con-
fined themselves carefully to local is
sues, but prior to this their leaders
were supporting anti-conscriptlon or
CARNATIONS and the so-called Peoples
Council. The Socialists have had the
aid of many speakers, notable among
them James H. Maurer, the labor leader
and the only Socialist ever sent to the
Pennsylvania Legislature.

Massachusetts Socialists
Not Openly Against War

BOSTON, Oct. 3l.-In the Massachu-
sets campaign the Democratic party
has been using the slogan, Help win
the war by electing Governor of the
Presidents party" while the Repub-
licans have urged voters to retain the
present incumbent, Mccall, and not to
swap horses while crossing the stream.
The Socialists have a full state ticket
in the field, headed by John Mccarthy,
of Arlington, for Governor, but they
have not attracted undue attention by
campaigning openly against the war.

strong campaign, and his followers pre-

abnormally large vote seems to be gen.

discussed war in his campaign speeches.

emily have taken their cue from him.

ENGINE HOUSE PETS.
Fire Department Headquarters Well
Supplied - Turtle Weighs Over %
Pounds and Is II Inches Long.

Among the pets at the fire department
headquarters are big turtle, weighing
20 pounds or more, young raccoon and
two cats. The raccoon and cats are gen
tie enough, but when it comes to the
turtle, look out. The coon is in cage
and was caught recently in Brookine.
He is an interesting youngster and en-
joys reaching out his paws to take bits
of food handed to him. A collar with
chain was put on him last night and he
was introduced to the eats. The eats
did not take kindly to him at first, but
it is thought a friendship between them
can be established.
The turtle is owned by County Game
Warden f.. ii. Metcalf and his shell is
IT inches long. He certainly is mon
stcr for these parts, and although APP
parently clumsy is quick as lightning.
Two trainmen on the West river railroad
captured him. They saw him in shall

The vote on the proposed constitu-
tional amendment to give suffrage to
women in Maine attracted but little at
tention in the special election Monday,
despite a campaign of six months in
which both sides debated the question
in the newspapers and from the stump.
The vote was almost two to one against
the change, or in round numbers $4,000
to 1000, fully three-quarters of the
voters of the state not having interest
enough in the proposition to 90 to the
polls. Woman suffrage has been making
great advances in the nation in recent
years, but it is evident that with the
problems of the war confronting us at
the present time that question, like
many others which attract attention in
normal times, is now relocated to the
background.

Manufacture of whiskey. gin and
other spirituous liquors ceased through
out the nation at II clock Saturday
night, when the prohibitive clause of the
food control bill became effective. Two
or three gin distilleries in the Connect
cut valley between Springfield and
Hartford closed their doors for the first
time in over 100 years. Millions of
bushels of grain which under the old
regime would have been ground up for
liquor will be saved for food--how many
millions no one knows, for the manu-
facture of alcohol for beverage purposes
is so closely blended with the production
of alcohol for industrial and medicinal
purposes that there is no way of de-
termining the exact amount.

Russia has again doomed as the big
figure in the worlds spotlight this
week. A state of war exists in both
the Petrograd and Moscow districts,
according to official proclamation. Gen.
Kornilofl, commandments of the
Russian armies, demanded the powers
of n dictator, both military and civil,
after the workmen and soldiers in the
Kerensky cabinet had opposed Korni-
loft s rigorous orders to enforce dis
cipline. Kerensky replied to Kornilofl'
by removing the latter from office and
appointing Gen. Klembovsky command
er-in-chief. Korniloff revOlted, a part
of the army with him followed, and he
is reported to have given orders to his
command to capture Petrograd Many
startling rumors have reached the Eu-
ropean capitals in regard to the situa-
tion, but the latest advices yesterday
indicated that Kerensky will emerge
victorious from the trouble and that
the revolution will not throw the pro-
visional government out of power.

The state department has thrown an.

The state department has thrown an
other bomb into German diplomacy, or
we might better say deviltry. 1t has
caught the Swedish government in an
association which east serious doubts
on its pretended neutrality. It's diplo-
matte representative in Argentina al
lowed German messages in secret cipher
to be sent through the Swedish legation
at Buenos Aires. These messages from
Germany advised the commanders of
raiding ships of that country to sink
Argentine ships secretly and to make
the job so complete that there would
he no trace left of the vessels destroyed
The only way to absolve the Swedish
government is to make the charge of
the embassy in Buenos Aires the
goat and to claim that he was per
sonally responsible for the fragrant vio
lation of neutrality, but it has been well
understood by the allies that the SYM
pathics of the Swedish monarchy have
been largely with Germany. The eX-
posurc which the state department was
able to make by getting possession of
German messages sent through the Swed-
ish legation at BuenoS Aires explains
why the United States and the entente
allies were so inimical to the Stockholm
conference. Before it came, they were
aware that the influences of its sur
roundings were all on the side of Ger
many. The justification of their atti-
tude has been amply demonstrated by
this disclosure.

RUSSIA'S IMPORTS IN 1916 AS
GREAT AS IN 1915

The Bureau of Foreign and Dom
estic Commerce has issued the fol-
lowing:
European Russia imported $685.
$50, 900 worth of goods in 1916, an
increase of no less than 100 per cent
over the total for 1915, according to
a compilation from official Russian
statistics made public today by the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce of the Department of Com
merce. Last years imports fell only
100000 short of the figure for
the normal year 1913. AS a matter
of fact, since the official figures do
not include munitions. the value of
the goods actually received and re-
quiring transportation must have
been greatly in excess of the value
recorded
When it is considered that in 1915
European Russia received goods by
two routes only (Archangel and
Scandinavia Fipland.) while goods
is easier to appreciate the tremend-
GUS freight traffic that the port of
Archangel and the Russian railroads
were called upon to handle and the
inevitable congestion that has made
necessary the strict limitation of i'm
ports.
In the original figures. stated in
rubles, there was an apparen. in
crease in the 1916 imports of Al per
cent over 1913. The fall in ruble
exchange has been allowed for in the
bureaus statement by making the
conversions for 1913 al the normal
rate of 5l.5 cents to the rutle.

THOUSANDS OF CATTLE ARE
BEING MOVED OUT OF TEXAS

Trainloads of cattle are being
shipped from the drought-stricken
portions of Texas to other points in
the South Just as fast as railroad IA
|cilities will permit, according to a
statement OF the Bureau OF Animal
Industry, United States Department
of Agriculture, which has been work
ing to relieve the situation of the
Texas cattlemen.
Since July / there have been moved
from Texas to points in the south
eastern states more than 1900 head
of cattle. and the department expects
that by the end of September fully
20. 900 head will be so moved.
This movemen was male necessary
because of the drought and other con
ditions in certain parts of Texas,
which threatened the loss of valuable
breeding stock. Most of the cattle
now being moved are females. Prac-
tically all were bought outright BY
farmers and landowners in the new
territory. The expense of the work
of supervising shipments of these eat

exceed 1000. which makes the cost
