WILSON WILL
BE INFLUENCE
At MO. POLLS
Democrats of Nation Watch
Result Of Reed-Long Bat v
tie In Missouri. ..
By THOMAS WRICLEY.
International News Service.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-. July 81.
The democracy of Woodrow
Wilson will stand in the amphi-
theater of Missouri politics to-
morrow. Breckenridge M. Long,
Of st. Louis, and United States
Senator James A. Reed will be
the gladiators. The primary bat
tie will determine which will win
the contest for the Democratic
Senatorial nomination.
Hot Campaign.
Democratic eyes Of the nation are
focused on this primary fight.
Should Senator Reed be successful
and win a denomination 1t will be
thumbs down" on Wilson's democ-
racy. Should Long be successful.
Wilson's party leadership and his
policies will be regarded as meeting
the approval Of the Democratic
populace unchanged through The
stirring events of recent years.
Wilson's democracy is purely the
issue, and Reed and Long will rest
tonight after a red-hot campaign
which has covered every nook and
corner of the Show Me" State.
The result. leading Democrats Of
the State freely predict. will be close.
Sentiment for and against the
candidates appears very evenly d.
vided.
Reed Faced Bitter Fight.
Senator Reed, admittedly. faced a
bitter fight. His stand against
many Of the Wilson administration
policies. the League of Nations,
woman's suffrage, national prohibi-
ton, and other great issues. drove
from his ranks many Of the old
time Democrats who were strong
for Wilson and who staunchly stick
with party principles"
Senator Reed, however, made his
position clear in every address
made during the campaign. His
fearlessness and independence from
party ties won him respect and con-
fidence. Not once during the cam.
paign did he recede from his posi-.
ton against Wilson and the League
of Nations issue and other Demo
cratic policies in which he has DIFF
fered with his party.
Long Supports Wilson.
Breckenridge Long, on the other
hand, has been whole-hearted
supporter Of Wilson, the League Of
Nations, national prohibition and
other issues. He has clearly de-
fined his position as being strictly
in line with Democratic principles"
and one to give strength and not
oppose the party leaders.
Long has had the open support
Of Woodrow Wilson in his cam
paign, a support which has been
valuable, according to political ex-
perts, in winning him a strong fol-
lowing in the country districts,
where Wilson's name is revered and
where his League of Nations policy
has always been approved.
A record primary vote Is expect
ed to be polled and interest over
the outcome Is at high pitch
throughout the State.

SH|PYARDS SAVE.
VIRGINIA TOWNS
INSTR|KECR|S|s
!. Newport News and Norfolk
Virtually Cut OFF by
Rail Tie-up.
By A. CLOYD GILL,
Times Gorresponsient.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, July 81.
These are dull days for the usually
hustling towns of Newport News and
Norfolk.
With the Chesapeake and Ohio and
the Norfolk and Western railways
tied up by their striking employees
tighter than Jacks hatband, local
business interests are beginning to
feel the pinch. Only the presence
and continued operation of the ship
yards here have saved this town
from ruin. y
Scores of ships of passage which
ordinarily should stop over here for
bunker coal and ship supplies have
been forced to follow the compass In
another direction. Should the strike
be settled Immediately, 1t would be
several weeks before maritime bust
ness would resume normal proper
tions. Several additional railroad
clerks have walked out here, and A.
c. Terry, general chairman Of the
striking forces, declares they are
standing firm and will stick to the
finish.
Rails Grow Rusty.
In Norfolk, the Chesapeake and
Ohio clerks are remaining on their
Jobs, but there is little or no busi-
ness for them to do. since clerks at
4 other points have made the move
ment of freight impossible. A few
clerks of the Norfolk and Western
system walked out at Norfolk.
Many miles of railroad tracks. such
as sidings and switch tracks, are be.
coming rusty from disuse in this dis
trict. Mo- mixed freight trains are
seen moving, and 1t Is with difficulty,
railroad men say, that a few coal
trains are carried on the Norfolk &
Western and the Chesapeake and
Ohio, the two big coal-carrying lines.
Business people here are getting
some satisfaction out of the report
that bunker coal is to be brought
here from England. 1t will come over
as ballast, but there are few who be.
lieve the plan Is practical.
This writer finds on travelling over
three different railroad lines in Vir-
ginia and discussing with railroad
strikers probable results of the strike
that probably the most significant
move Is that being made by the
wives of the strikers.

PASSPORTS TO CANADA
ARE URGED BY WHEELER

Passports will soon be required for
Americans travelling to Canada and
the British islands off the Florida
coast. If the ideas of Wayne B.
Wheeler. counsel to the Anto-Saloon
League are put into effect by the
State Department. 1t was learned to-
day.
The bulk of the liquor now inundat-
ing the Atlantic coast Is being snug
gled in from these points by Ameri-
cans, Wheeler said today. The rem
edy, he declared, is to make it diff
ficult for the would-be smugglers
to get there.

decided what position he will as
sign himself. If he lands catcher
of worth, chances are Jim will pas
time in the outfield and act as re-
lief backstop- Otherwise, he may
assume first string duty behind the

is possibility of him directing the

Manager Larry Mullen Of Du-

the opinion that a man who can
play two or more positions with a

prove of more value to the club

1t was the first time in many a

were turned loose behind the bat
on opening day. In addition to the
three novices there were Henline

CANDIDATES To
OPEN CONTESTS
FOR TEAM JOBS
WIN Be Put Through PAGES Before
Manager Councilman Saturday
and Sunday.
By ]. L. HUGHES.

q The familiar and altogether
pleasing crack of wood against
horsehide will be heard in and
around Douglas park tomorrow and
Sunday when candidates for the
islander entry in the Mississippi
Valley league canter forth before
the critical eyes OF Manager Jim
Councilman.
K Twenty-Five prospects and near
prospects for the new Rock Island
team, are scheduled to take posses
sion of the field and show cause
why they should be retained. The
list given for publication today
includes five catchers, nine pitch
ers, II infielders, three of whom
are classed as first basemen, and
four oUtfielders. A number of
others previously announced signed
to contracts have yet to receive
orders to report. Maybe they will
and then again maybe they won't.
1T all depends on what the initial
crop produces. At any rate there
are six from Rock Island, two from
Milan and one each from Moline,
East Moline and Silvis in the first
squad, and the efforts of these will
be watched with particular interest
by local fans.
Here are the candidates who re-
ceived the coveted notice to report:

Game Sunday.
According to present plans, there
will be something resembling a
baseball game Sunday afternoon.
Manager Councilman proposes to
divide the squad into two teams
and, weather permitting, indulge in
five or seven innings of regular
pastiming. He believes this is the
quickest and surest way of obtain
ing line on the respective abili-
ties of the candidates, although ad-
hitting some may be a bit back
ward in showing their red class this
early.
Fans are invited to be present at
the opening workouts and give the
youngsters the once over.
