Brooklyn, who is pledged TO support
johnson. Thirteen of the contests were
waged in Manhattan and Brooklyn

While Train Is Blockaded by Drifts.

Coneordia, Kan, April 6.-The first
train to arrive here since Saturday
noon was towed in late Monday after
noon. 1t was the Union Pacific pas
senger which was supposed to arrive
Saturday evening. 1t was detoured
over the Missouri Pacific tracks in the
effort to get thru Saturday, but was
stuck in snowdrifts between here and
AThes. The eighteen passengers
fought their way to farm houses for
food. Farmers carried food to three
small children marooned in the train,
including in their basket some COL
ored Easter eggs. Six men dug their
way out from the train Sunday after
noon and wallowed into Concordia,
nine miles away.

suitable to both. The revelters seized
control of the Republican orsaniza-
ton here and nominated NJ. A. Foster
as reform candidate for mayor The
old Democratic organisation nominat-
ed Mayor James Cowgirl for re-elec-
ton.

warm, the crime wave has continued
with daring heldups, burglaries, gang

ised personally to lead raids on gam
bling institutions and houses of ques-
tionable character if elected and TO
