stated he was in the city to attend the
state convention of public service cor
poration which was in progress, q
very PLAUSIBLE explanation. About 5
o'clock, however, he slipped into the
office of Secretary of State, filed
Judge Priests candidacy declaration
and hastily departed on an early eve
ming St. Louis-bound train. Twenty
minutes later, Hay, who was anxious
ly awaiting developments in st. Louis,
knew that Judge Priest was in the
senatorial primary combat to stay.
Attorney Curlee made a rush in st.
| Louis to catch an early evening JEFF
ferson City train while Hay commun.
icated the fact over long distance to
Secretary of State Sullivan that his
man, Friday, was enroute to file his
declaration. Through this dash of
Hay to get into the scramble for the
toga nomination at the last moment
he earned the psendonym of "Hurry-
up" Hay which win cling to him while
! the Democratic senatorial race is on,
and perhaps afterwards.
ScrutOn's War Record May Count
The brilliant war record of Col.
Scruton and his sterling Democracy
and efficiency, and wide acquaintance
as newspaper man, will greatly help
him to pile up Democratic votes on
primary day. In the fierce three
cornered battle which will now ensue
between Brock Long, President Will
sons champion; Judge Priest, the
Bacchanal disciple; and "Hurry-up"
Hay, the fearless, arid gladiator; Col.
Scruton stands a good chance of
Carrying away the trophy while the
others are desperately fitting for it.
Keep your mind on the soldiereditor

three"
Whatever vote Preacher Lindsay
will pull down will reduce that much
the total which rightfully belongs to
Hay as the most formidable dry con-
testant. Four years ago when Rev.
| Lindsay ran for the Democratic CUB
ernatoral nomination against Cover
nor Gardner and five others his vote
totaled 10000. If he runs as well this
! time it will seriously effect the chanc-
es of success of Hay. But he may
withdraw in favor Of this prohibition
candidate.
Whet vote the second wet candidate,
Lawyer Higdon, gets will take that
I'many away from Judge Priest. Two
years ago Higdon ran against former
Governor Joseph w. Folk, for the
Democratic senatorial nomination and
received 5000 votes. With Judge
Priest III the race as the real wet as
pirant, the Higdon vote is expected to
! GWindle down to almost nihil.

whatsoever, and entirely without
guarantee in any form.
The Republican House passed a
resolution (which, fortunately, was so
rank in character that even the parti-
san Senate abandoned it) proposing
a separate treaty of peace with Ger
many. Yet it was Mr.. Lodge who
said, in the same speech, delivered on
December 81, 1918: "To attempt in
any way to separate US from our al
lies now or to prevent unity of action
is as harmful as such efforts were
when we were fighting in northern
France and on the plains of Fland-
ers." Do we need to search for a
stronger condemnation of the coward
ly action of the Republican House?
1t matters not that the House resolu-
ton did not go Thought passed the
House, and the House is responsible
for it.
How about our refusal to enter the
League of Nations, already estab-
lished, with our allies accepting its
plan and terms? Mr.. Lodge, in the
same speech, said: Nothing can be
accomplished unless we work in COM
plete harmony with those who are as
ISOLATED with US in the war against
the Central Powers"
What process has operated in
these Republicans to thus change the
spirit of their dreams? - Jefferson

BAD CHILDREN

Sometimes they're bad as they can be,
AM seem to want to worry me.
They'll keep on doin' things I've said
That If they do they'll go to bed,
They'll race around the room an shout
An throw their various toys about
An irritate me, till | vow
I'll start a good old-fashioned row
An take 'em both across my knee
An spank 'em good and properly.
Much as !. love 'em, | don't claim
That they are perfect. It's shame
The way they carry on when they
Get started in reckless way.
They'll poster me sometimes until
My nervous system gets a chill,

They'll stand an laugh right to my
face.
Sometimes | think nobody had
Children that ever were so bad.
But just about the time that

A rascal with a grinning face,
Who set a fast and furious pace,

Coz time was | was worse than they.

He is not to be driven from his
stand by the braggadocious claims Of
antagonistic racial leaders or the
whining and whimpering of cowardly
politicians. Mr.. Wilson believes that
we went to war to accomplish definite
ends, and that we cannot honorably
end the war without accepting trea-
ty which guarantees the things we
fought for. How about the position

stout man drew up at the Queens side
Of the crossing The red haired man

Gompers Wins Fight to Estab-

Greater New York.
G. F. U. ENDS EXISTENCE
Votes to Join Meeting Of LO-
Gals of Four BOrOughs to
Be Held in September.

Samuel Gompers. president Of the
American Federation Of Labor. last
night won his fght for one big central
labor organization in Greater New York,
when the Central Federated Union vir-
tually voted itself out Of existence by
accepting Mr.. Gompers's proposition to
send delegates to a meeting on Septem-
ber 10 in the Central Opera House In
East SixtyIseventh street. At this meet
ing, which will be attended by delegates
from the central federated unions OF
the four boroughs, the organization OF
the new body will take place.
Labor leaders on several occasions
have issued statements that the new la
Dor organization was to be formed TO
make 1t easier to handle labor matters,
but speakers at the meeting last night
declared the real necessity for the one
big body is TO fight the agitation for
an open shop.

make a night for the open shop In New
York. The labor speakers declared that
with the labor bodies OF tho greater
city united this move could be success
fully combated and New York would
continue a union city
Mr.. Gompers and his forces had little
trouble with the central bodies OF Rich
mond, Queens and Brooklyn, but con-
siderable opposition developed within
the Central Federated Union to his
proposition Of one central body Abra-
ham Lefkowitz, of the Teachers Union,
led the fight against Gompers's plan,
while the forces favoring II we're led by
Peter F. Brady. an organizer for the
American Federation OF Labor, Mr..
Brady was assisted last night by James
p. Holland, President OF the New York
State Federation Of Labor, who attended
a Central Federated Union meeting for
the nrst time in three years as alter
nate for Timothy Healy Of the Station
nry Firemen's Union.
Lefkowitz and the members OF the
union who stood by him declared that
they did not object to merging the four
borough organizations, but that each
of these organizations ought at the
same time to keep It's own identity. On
the other hand, the Gompers proposition
called for the virtual abolition OF the
Central Federated Union and similar
bodies OF Staten Island, Queens and
Brooklyn. The vote was very close and
there is still an element in the Central
Federated Union which threatens to
continue its opposition. The advantage
now, however, is with the Gompers
forces, and 1t is not considered prob
able that the opposition will be able to
make much headway against the new
organization.
The labor atmosphere was still further
cleared last night when the striking
coastwise longshoremen at a meeting in
st. Veronica's Hall, at Barrow and
Washington streets, voted to return to
work Monday morning. provided the
steamship companies discharge the strike
breakers that have been employed dur
ing the strike. A committee was ap-
pointed TO wait upon the steamship COM

OVER 400 KILLED IN
AUTO ACCIDENTS PAST
FOUR YEARS IN STATE

More than 400 persons in Maryland
were killed by automobiles during the
last fror years. statistics of the Auto
mobile Commissioner Office show
and these figures, Commissioner Z
Austin Baughman declared, demon
strate clearly the necessity of taking
drastic action 10 curb reckless driving
and sacrifice of human life.
Commissioner BauShman said that
statistics produced at the recent meet
ing of the National Safety Council
showed that one person is killed in the
United States every 30 minutes as the
result OF automobile accidents and
moro than $4,000 meet death in this
manner every year.
The trouble. Coz m S o n I
Baughman declared. lies with the
courts OF the State and their apparent
laxity in prosecuting persons who are
responsible for fatalities.
So far this year 81 persons have
been killed by automobiles. During
last year the total number of fatalities
from automobile accidents reached
l62. In January of the present year
there were deaths; February, 3;
March 8; April. Il; May 10; June. 4;

AT THE REPUBLIC TONIGHT

Spaghetti and custard pies are ia
booed in school Days" Larry Sc
mons new comedy which will be
shown again at the Republic Theatre
tonight. While there is not much
of the "slap-stick" methods in the
comedy there is a humorous scene
built around the old "hit the niger
game played at country fairs. In this
case the farm wife pokes her head
through a hole in a table cloth hang
ing on the washline, and the tempta-
ton is too great for several of the
farm hands who are packing ripe to-
matoes. The scene is not vulgar; it's
just funny.
AS usual in the Semon comedies
there is we'll connected story in
school Days" Mr.. Semon, who wrote
and directed the comedy, as well as
playing the leading role. has taken the
little red district school as the scene
of the action. All the familiar types
are present. from the really good boy
who gets blamed for every bit of dew
iltry and the bad boy who escapes be-
ing caught, 10 the. fat boy and teach
er's pet" Later the same characters
are shown in later life, grown up. Not
one has turned out what he expected
to be. The plot is novel and unusual
one and Larry Semon, in his three ca
pacities of comedian, author and d.
rector, has taken advantage of every
opportunity offered. 1t is one of his
best vitagraph comedies.
