MIN ERS MAINTAIN
ORDER EVERYWHERE
(Rv ASsociafed Press)

Wy ASSoCthtcO
LONDON. Oct. 20.-In all the coal
regions order was maintained by the
strikers today.
One feature of the situation tonight
was the protest of the $4,000 London
commercial road transport men ceas-
ing work. The men passed IA resolu-
tion declaring themselves as fully sup
porting the miners. A conf ference is
to be held tomorrow. Meantime ord
ers have been issued to branches of
the union to have their strike organiz-
aticns prepared. Should the transport
workers of all the country walk out, it
is estimated that 100000 men will be
involved.
BY agreement between the board of
trade and the jockey club, all horse
racing is to be suspended for the du-
ration of the coal miners strike.
Announcement was made tonight of
the suspension of the sailings of
nearly all the passenger steamers be-
tween England and Ireland. Excep-
tion is to be made in the cases of ves-
sells carrying the mails. The rail
roads are beginning to restrict their
passenger service.
1t is reported tonight that in the
Middlesborough ircn district nearly
$4,000 workers have been rendered
idle in the iron and dependent indus
tries as a result of the coal strike.

cox TO CARRY
OHIO IT'S SAID

John Mason, we'll known FL Centre
man and former deputy sheriff, who
recently returned from his former
home in Columbus, Ohio, stated last
evening that Governor Cox, democra-
tbs candidate for president, would
carry his native state over the repub-
lcan nominee, by a majority of 2 to l.,
at the coming election. He also eX-
pressed his belief that with solid
south, New York and Ohio behind him,
Cox will be the next president of the
United States.
Mason stated that in his trip through
Ohio, every place the name of Cox
was spoken, and that he, in his home
state, is far more popular than his
opponent.
In Marion, the home of Senator
Harding, CoX's placards are exhibited
every where and when the democratic
nominees spoke in that city, thousands
turned out to greet him.
While every test vote taken has
given Harding the electoral votes of
Ohio, their effect is only meager, he
said.

"Who is the Benedict Arnold of the republican party
that seeks it's confidence and endorsement order
that he may once more betray it,"
When Shorridge answered this question with the name
of Hiram Johnson the theater rang with applause.
We want to hear all about the tariff the league of

explanation of the above when you here tomorrow.

WHY HIDE THE PAST?

Why all these desperate efforts of Samuel Shortridge

to steer the campaign unto safe" neutral grounds
upon which Sam his smooth tongue the limit and

questions? Why all these attempts to discuss the future
alone instead of standing pat his record Senator

The voter himself will be the Judge of these tactics.
During his before the public Samuel Shortrdge has

will do this and that These not enough the people of
California want who has been given the acid
