Taxed to capacity by an emergency
coal movement, the hauling cf bumper
crops and reyiving commerce, the rail-
roads of the country are facing Il
shortage of freight cars. For the first
time IN almost two years, according to
an announcement issued yesterday by
the Association of Railway Executives,
all of the freight car reserves have
been virtually absorbed
The nn2uncement credits che deplc-
ton OF car reserves to the growing de-
mand for transportation and describes
the situation as "seasonable and nor

pairs to railroad equipment have been
made under anything but ideal condi-
tlons. The difficulty of keeping locomo-
tives In repair has been the create s.
hanHlcap, the number classed as unfit
for service during August having been
announced as 80 per cent of the total
With hauling equipment crippled to
this extent, freight movements and the
releasing of cars for new cargoes have
been much delayed.
"For the first time since November.
1920" the railway executives an
nounced, "the number of surplus freight
cars has been virtually absorbed By
the growing demand for transporta
tion facilities, due to increased indus
trial activity, according to the report
just received 'by the car service div
sion of the American Railway Associa-
tion from the railroads of the country
"On September s there were 43,16S
surplus freight cars, 27,287 fewer than
on August 81. At the same time there
were requests from shippers for
67,899 cars, which could not be com
piled with just at that time. This was
1920 cars more than on August 81.
Surplus coal cars numbered 346S5
on September s, a reduction of 1881
since August 81, while untitled orders
for cars on that date totalled 1854
cars. Surplus box cars totalled 2,18-
cars, reduction of 1903 in the same
period, while untitled orders for cars

primary weakens the chances for a

gressive elements having obtained the
saddle in the regular Republican or
ganlzation in any state, why should
they abandon this advantage for the
pleasure of conducting another in
surgent fight which might easily fail
Winners never bolt. They have OBJ
talned what they are fighting for, OF

But even aside from this cold logic
Mr.. Borah always has preferred to do
his fighting inside the party He has
been thorn in the sides of the regular
Republicans for many years, but he
stays inside the breastworks.
For example. in 1912 he fought for
Roosevelt in the regular Republican
Convention at Chicago until all hope
was gone, but he supported William
Howard Taft as the nominee of that
convention. He did not go with Bev-
eridge, Poindexter and Murdock to fol-
low Roosevelt in the new Progressive
party.
In 1916 he fought against the ma
chine and had the unusual privilege of
addressing both the Republican and
ported Hughes. In 1919, when the Re
publicans had won the Senate by a
majority of two-so small that any one
Republican voting with the Democrats
would produce u tie that would have to
be decided by the Democratic Vice
President-Borah was regular. This
despite the fact that he had fought to
the last ditch. short of breaking his
party regularity, against the choice of

Hylan To Nominate Hearst
On the Democratic side the Hearst
forces have let it be known that Mayor
dylan VIII make the speech nominating
Hearst for Governor. The Hearst nom :
mating speech has been written by ex-
Governor Martin H. Glynn Of Albany.
He is now at work putting the finishing
touches to it and it will be handed to
Mayor Hylan before the latter goes on
the floor to put the editor-p politician
before the convention.
The Republicans meet in Albany on
the 9th. The Democrats will begin
their convention in Syracuse the fol-
lowing day.
Local Democrats declare that if q
compromise candidate for Governor is
chosen it may mean that Al Smith will
be named for United States Senator
Some profess that the ticket will be
Congressman Peter G. Ten Eyck, of
Albany, for Governor, and Smith for
Senator.
One prominent Tammany leader
summed up the situation on the Demo
cratic side yesterday by saying that
the delegates all wanted Smith, but
that Murphy, because of his fear that
Smith would be made state leader. fol-
lowing his nomination, wants anybody
else. The Hearst men say that Murphy
is secretly pledged to Hearst.

CITY PRIMARY.
SEPTEMBER Is
Several Announce for Mayor and AL
dermen to be Voted on September
Is, 1922.

The approaching city primary has
barely caused a ripple in the waves
of enthusiasm. Only a few have an
nounced for the various offices which
will be filled Jan. 1, 1928.
AS yet no one has announced for
city clerk. This office should be cleo
tive. We are not certain as to the law
on the subject, but we lave labored
under the impression that the city
clerk should be elected the same as
marshal or any other officer of a city.
It has been the custom III other towns
of the state.
In Oxford, the mayor should be
competent to serve as clerk and should
fill both places. This would be saw
ing to the tax payers of quite an item
every year.
Then again, the salaries of the va
rious offices should be fixed by a vote
of the people, in the primary. Or, by

views of the same families.
In the second primary which will be
held Sept. 5th, will be decided who
shall represent Mississippi in the U.
S. Senate for the next six years. HUI
bert Stevens will hold his forces,
which were exhausted in the first pri-
mary, and will have to draw from
about fifty per cent of the Kearney
vote. Senator Vardaman has re-
serve of at least one-fourth of the vote
here received in the first primary, be-
sides he will get at least half of the
Kearney vote, so it is safe to predict
that Vardaman will win in the second
primary by big majority over Steph-
ems, that is if the Vardaman strength
will turn out and vote. The Stephens
vote will go to the polls, rain or shine,
sick or well. This is one admirable
characteristic of the Stephens people
they will go to the polls and vote.

Second Primary September 5

The runoff between Stephens and
Vardaman in the second primary,
which will be held on September 5,
promisises to be most interesting, in
as much as every inch of the ground
on both sides will be contested.
Vardaman can win hands down if
his supporters will only turn out and
vote in the second primary. There is
sufficient reserve, even if every k4ear-
ney vote went to Stephens, to elect
Vardaman by safe majority, if this
reserve can be aroused to the point of
taking sufficient interest in the second
primary to go to the polls and vote.
The Kearney vote will not go to Ell
ther of the leading candidates as a
whole, but will be divided about fifty
fifty half going to Vardaman and the
other half to Stephens.
