another talk with Charlie Hall. chief
clerk of Select Council. He's sick at
his cottage down here, you know. I
will see him again in a couple of days,
and then will decide"
In the course of his talk, Mr.. Seger
said that Senator Penrose called on
him at his cottage within the last
ten days"
The senator told me | had been with
him for thirty years" Mr.. Seger said.
But | told him he was wrong. | said
j had been with Durham for the first
twenty years. and as Durham was with
him ! followed along. But I was only
with the senator for the last ten years,
and I told him that during that time
he had some of the hottest political
fights of his life"
Mr.. Seger referred to the fight OF
1917 when Senator Penrose Joined
forces with the Town Meeting party
after the criminal developments in the
Fifth ward. Mr.. Seger didn't go along
with the senator, because, he explained
he had gone into the primaries with the
organization and he would remain on
that side.
II couldn't stand jumping like that"
he said.
Disliltes New Charter
After he had referred to the visit of
Senator Pcnrose, he said
Lots of people have been down here
trying to tell me what to do.
He said that he had promised to let
the senator know what candidate he
would support as soon ms he let any
one know.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Seger is
against the new charter.
Il favor the old system of two legis-
lative bodies in councils instead of the
new plan of only one" he said. "If
the last session had been held by one
body, a lot of bills would have been
passed that had no right to. A small
body will be more easily controlled
anyway
Mr.. Seger had reached this point in
his interview when Judge Patterson
and Mr.. Abrams appeared. The coun-
Gilman and his visitor were seated on
the porch of the cottage, which is heav
lily screened and it was impossible for
the Judge to see them from the street.
As he walked up the steps to the
door the reporter went over to open
it. 1t was then that the judge said
hello and good by in one breath.
Judge Patterson Returns
With Mr.. Abrams, he started walk
ing back toward the boardwalk. But
when the reporter left they saw him
go. And they returned.
Later, after the candidate and Mr..
Seger had been together, the reporter
returned.
Judge Patterson explained that when
he first called at the cottage, he did
not know who was with the councilman,
and that he didn't want to interrupt
anything"
81 just happened to be on the next
street." the judge said, 'and ! knew
Mr.. Seger lived here on Ridgeway ave
nue.. SO we thought we would come
around and pay our respects"
He was asked if his candidacy had
been discussed
mo, not word was said about my
candidacy" he declared. "As a mat
ter of fact, I would not bring up such
subject. We had a very interesting
conversation, talking over old political
fights.
Judge Patterson said he intended to
go to Cape May tonight.
Going to talk politics over there?"
he was asked.
NO." he answered. 81 am just GO
ing on a week end visit that l planned
some time ago. I am going to visit
some personal friends.

NEED OF U. S. PROTECTION

Certain government officials and
oil operators in the United States are
much disturbed over the announce
neut in recent Associated Press cor
respondence from London to the ef-
feet that England has determined to
enter the oil business.
Operators and students of the petro-
icum industry interpret this to mean
that the British empire has thrown
its hat in the ring" and purposes TO
dominate the industry, which has
been in the control of the United
States for years.
For some time interested govern
ment officials and the oil operators
have realized that action should be
taken by the United States govern
ment for self-protection against COM
petition in the oil industry. Warning
from London. and the knowledge that
there remains but 90 per cent of oil
resources in the United states, which
is good for at the most twenty-five
years. has led those interested to ask:

Resources Outside of q. S.

Most important resources outside of
the United States are in Russia, Per
sia, Mesopotamia. Rumania, Pales-
tine. Ukraine. Egypt Algeria and
countries bordering on the Gulf of
Mexico and the Caribbean sea
Russia, Mesopotamia. Palestine, Ru-
mania, Ukraine and Egypt are now
under discussion at the peace confer
ence, and it is considered likely that
the question of the distribution of
these resources will be among the
problems considered.
What action President Wilson will
take in regard to protecting the
United States. or what action he will
suggest. If any. to Congress in the
matter of forming here such minis
try as England has formed has not
been learned. In view of the fact
that the country is aware of the sit
uation it is thought that the interests
OF he United States will be safe
guarded at the peace conference.
Mining experts point out that there
are three ways in which resources
might be developed. One is impor-
tation from Mexico. South America or
other countries The second is the
development of oil shales, and the
thlrd' the substitution of gas as alco-
mol. The first method is said by
mining experts to be the most pIausi-
BILE. the two other being too ex-
tensive, and therefore impractical.
What Government Should Do.
To carry out the first method it
would be necessary for the govern
ment: these experts point out. to form
ministry such England has
formed to supervise the development
of resources and to protect the co11n-
try against competition. Its purposes
would be not only 10 care for produc-
ton for home consumption, but to
seek other fields in foreign countries
so that the United States would have
supplies to fall back on when the
resources in this country shall have
been consumed.
Reports of the bureau of mines show
that from 1910 to 1917 the increase
in crude oil production was only 80
per cent. while gasoline production in
creased 400 per cent and the increase
in the number of autom obiles in the
country was 500 per cent. Because OF
the large increase in the number OF
automobiles and the abnormal con-
sumption of oil during the war. this
country being called upon to supply
the allies. resources were cut into
deeply.
1t is pointed out by the mining ex-
perts that the consumption of oil
gradus lily will increase with each sue
ceediI z year because Of it's extensive
use in industries in this country and
in the American Navy and the mer-
chant marine.
Unless action is taken by the United
States TO protect itself. according to
these mining experts. the country will
find itself in an unenviable position.
Particularly will this apply to war ac-
tivities, should they arise, since the
bureau of mines claims that the petro-
leum supply produced by this coun-
try "foated the allies to victory"

mines, in an article on petroleum
Resources of the United States" which

sounded 2 warning, when he said In
part:
we are prone to think our coal sup
ply as limitlesS and that if it ever is
exhausted the hydroelectric power will
supply the deficiency. We forget that
the machinery must be fabricated and
that there is no known substitute Tor
petroleum as Il lubricant. The prob
lem of the source of our heat, light
and power is dependent on solving the
problem of petroleum.
