Two Republicans and three Demo-
|cratic governors were chosen in yes
terday's elections. fairly complete re-
turns today indicated.
Albert Ritchie, Democrat, for gov
ernor has carried Maryland by a
majority of 900 votes, according to
figures available at o'clock today.
Returns also indicate that the Demo-
Gratis will have small majority In
the next assembly.
Governor Calvin Coolidge. Repub-
lican, was reelected in Massachu-
setts over Richard H. Long, by an
Overwhelming majority. The Bos-
ton police strike, denounced by Cool
idge, figured prominently in the cam
paign.
Despite the fact that Massachu-
setts went Republican, Admlnistra-
ton leaders found comfort in the fact
that the reelection of Governor
Coolidge by so large a majority was
in itself an Endorsement of the prin-
ciples adopted by the Government
in the present serious situation.
Police Strike Analogous.
The recent police strike in Bostor
figured largely in the Massachusetts
election, and Governor Coolidge's un
compromis. attitude during thai
controversy is analogous to the Gov.
ernments attitude toward t-e Goa
miners now.

date should be a man who has not
been concerned with the national and
international broils which have CEN
tered in Washington during the war
period.
The strength of William Howard
Taft is making itself felt in the Capt.
tai. His name comes up whenever the
Presidency is discussed.
1t. is conceded even by his opponents
that he is far more popular and bet
ter known by the people now than
when he was President, and his mod
crate attitude toward the peace treaty
appears to have gained him many
friends.
Wood Boom Started.
Woods boom is getting under way
already, and is gathering considerable
momentum, reports here indicate. His
supporters see in him a second Roose-
Welt, and many of the Roosevelt Re-
publicans are known to be lining I'D
on his side.
In Washington it is considered Ger.
tain that he will be one of the
strongest men at the convention. As
for the soldier vote, Woods friends
believe he would poll more Of il than
General Pershing, for instance.
To get back to Senator Johnson. IL

in the campaign he would have the
support of all who are fatty opposed
to il and want its absolute rejection.
Rut with the treaty out of the way,
Johnson may be without a clear-cut
issue.
Undoubted Leader.
Undoubtedly he is one of the leaders
! for the Republican nomination. His
friends emphasize a Western man
should be the G. o. P. standard bearer
next year. He is likely to be opposed
by those who dislike his attitude on
| the treaty, unless events between now.
and the time the convention assem-
bles make the treaty fight seem like
ancient history.
Johnson is known as a hard cam
paigner and a forceful speaker, a man
who has personal magnetism and the
ability to rouse crowds to great en-
thusiasm. He is better known than
General Wood. and seems likC'y to be
high man when the first votes are
taken in the convention.
Senator Harding Of Ohio. his friends
say, will be a candidate, and probably
one of the strongest His recent an
nouncement that he would not run is
rot taken seriously here. His sup
porters look for such a strong de-
mand for him that he will enter the
contest.
Others Mentioned.
Senator Borah has been mentioned
as had Senator Lodge, and other op"
ponents of the treaty, but close politi.
cal observers believe their strength is
based largely on the present treaty
situation, and that new issues will
eliminate them
Senator Poindexter is to be one OF
the most conspicuous Presidential as
p!rants in the Senate. His friends
started booming him intermittently
more than a year ago. Senator Knox
and Elihu Root are generally liked
by conservatives. Senator Cummins
probably will figure in the early

The coal miner works short time
only when he elects to do so, Mr..
Gardiner declared and added:
"The average time worked by the
men engaged in mining bituminous
coal throughout the year. even taking
into consideration the time lost on
account of no market and no cars, is
in all probability higher than the
same character of work performed In
the open air, where weather condi-
tions enforce as much idleness as the
two causes l have named do in the
mine.
There is no class of men in this
country performing the character OF
labor performed by the mine opera
tiyes who live longer. There are
number of instances where miners
over sixty years of age are still able
to perform a fair days work ana
earn a fair days pay. while this Is
not true of the men who do this class
of work in the open air"
The operators have spent vast sums
in recent years in furnishing proper
ventilation for the mines and making
them a safe place to work in.
Even had the operators not wanted
to spend the money necessary to
u
told. "the law has compelled them to
do It. and today there is no class Of
men who work in purer atmosphere
than the miners.
Every Precaution Taken
To Safeguard Men.
'Self-interest on the part of the
operators as well as the necessity of
conforming to the law. has resulted
in every precaution being taken to
render the mine safe until in the last
few years IL may be said that acci-
dents, other than those due to the
carelessness of the operatives, them
selves are a rarity.
When the vast number Of men en-
ployed in this industry is taken into
consideration; that they use. rfa,.
explosives to a very largo
accidents are certainly segsss< 49, s.
percentage"
Several operators with whom i dis
cussed the then proposed strike de-
clared that, without taking into con-
alteration the widespread suffering
that such a move by the miners would
cause the public, they felt that a gem
eral coal strike was the only remedy
for local troubles that continually be-
set them.
Since the srmistice was signed there
have been scores of local and district
strikes. A national strike, the opera
tors said. must come or district
strikes would continue and new ones
would break out.

How Oil Is npiscovered.n

In the early days of the oil industry
search for new oil fields were carried
on in a haphaZard way. Few or none
knew exactly where to look for petro-
leum pools, and 1t was usually only by
persistent drilling of wells and fools
luck" that prospectors made their
strikes. Vastly more failures than sue
cesses resulted from this unmethodical
procedure, and fortunes were sunk in
testing hopelessly dry or only slightly
productive territory. In course of time,
however, scientific ideas crept into the
plans of the oil seekers and the geolo-
gist was called upon as counselor and
guide. Nowadays the Judgment and
advice of the man of science are indis-
Densable prerequisites to the exploita-
ton Of any supposed oil region. In
consequence, the pursuit of oil, though
still attended with risk and uncertain
ty, has been made far less matter of
guess work and chance and loss. The
geologist can not see all that the earth
hides in It's bosom, but from certain
indications he can determine whether
underlying strata Oh any given tract
may be probed with possibilities Of an
oil yield.-Leslie's.
