 AppOintee Under Joe Ferguson.

Little Rock, Sept Roy V. Leon ard of Dardanelle, candidate for nom- ination as commissioner of state lands, highways and improvements. is a possible appointee as bookkeeper in the state treasury, to succeed Mrs. Bert Keith, who is soon to resign.
 State Treasurer Joe Ferguson yes- terday said that he had no statement to make at present as to an appoint ment, but MT. Leonard yesterday was looking over the work with view to ascertain it's nature. MT. Leonard also, declined to say whether he will take the position.
 MT. Leonard recently filed a pro test before a committee of the Demo- cratic State Central Committee, alleg- ing election irregularities in 21 coun- ties in the primary and asking that the name of Commissioner Herbert R. Wilson, his opponent, be not cer- tified out as the nominee. The com mittee refused to act Cn the ground of lack of jurisdiction. It was sug- gested by the committee that the pro per tribunal in which to bring suit is in the Pulaski Circuit Court. No further action had been taken yester- day. and Mr. Leonard said that he had no statement to make at present.

fTLE RIVER MAN TO SOUND KEYNOTE
bhn J. DuLaney Will Make Key note Speech at State COnven- tiOn This Week.

M The state Democratic Convention Mbpened at Hot Springs Tuesday of this week. and according to prear- ranged plans John J. DuLaney of this city will be made temporary chair man and will deliver the keynote speech of the convention. The ap- poinsment has been approved by the p governor and the state committee.
 Although the convention proper did not open until Tuesday a great deal of work was done Monday The tenn porary organization is in the hands of the state committee while the con- yention forms the permanent organi- zation when it goes into session.
 John J. DuLaney of Ashdown is slated for the temporary chairman ship, and l.. J. Wilkes of Helena for permanent chairman. Brooks Hays of Russellville is slated for both tenn porary and permanent secretary. Un- der rule of the party the convention d9forS to the SONoIIlOI III tie ooloCIioll of officials and the governor has sig nifed his approval of Messrs. DuLa- ney, Wilkes and Hays.
 The convention tomorrow will cer- tify out the recent Democratic nOmi- nees for state office to the secretary of state in order that their names may be placed on the general election bal lot. and similar duties will be per formed by the district conventions, It is likely, also, that changes may be made in the party rules, and it is like ly that there will be considerable wrangling, before the convention, ov- CT seating of delegates.
 Although this is an "off" year in politics, it is said that the convention will be we'll attended. During the presidential election years the at tendance always is large. Presidentl- al years usually see a shift in the ad- ministrations of state office, and a consequent shifting of the party ma chinery.

GENERAL STRIKE IS
 THOUGHT UNLIKELY
Labor ill General Regarded as Un- willing to Follow Radicals
 Not Wanted By Leaders.

Washington, Sept. 3.-Labor Day finds organized workers of the United States in a turmoil over the federal governments sweeping injunction against the railroad shopmens strike, but the settlement last night of the prolonged anthracite coal strike, in the wake of Samuel Gompers' an nouncement that a general strike would be considered in retaliation against the injunction move by the government. has served to temper the radical wind that has been blowing over industrial America since Friday afternoon.
 The ending of the coal strike, which came as a result of government plead ings on behalf of suffering public is regarded here as an indication that the workers of the country are in no mood to rally around general strike leader. Even some of the rep resentative labor leaders are known to have received MT. Gompers' Friday night interview on the governments injunction with considerable surprise. While they agree with everything he had to say about the drastic character of the injunction and are willing to enlist in a fight to overcome it, they do not believe that general strike can be precipitated in the United States, nor tha5 such an effort would avail anything in the circumstances.
 GOmpers Not an Advocate.
 MT. Gompers himself, some of ais closest friends assert, is not advocat ing a general strike. They argue that he merely referred to it as a possible development which the American Federation of Labor's Executive Coun- Gil must consider when it meets next Saturday, When the council does meet they do not believe that it will recommend any general strike. There never has been anything of the kind in the fsited States, and if some of labor's c6unselors are to be regarded as wise prophets, there will be none now Their argumen, against the general strike is that it is this very thing that some of the radical organ iZations of capital have been seeking to precipitate in their warfare against trade uniCnism, and that it would be suicidal move for organized labor to rush into the trap.
 Organized labor, they assert, still is organized n the United States, and will not plunge into a general war fare with capital at this stage ot the game. Some of the leaders point to Mir. Gompers' own statement to the Am~ cican people, issued for publica- ton on Labor Day, as an indication that ne is looking for no general strike and is, in fact, very well satis- fled with conditions generally as they relate to the unions after several years of conflict with organized capi- tai.

CITY MANAGEMENT.

City Manager Sam Mendenhall announced ap-
pointments for the various offices under his con-
troll at the special meeting of the city commits
sioners last Friday. Those named to the posi-
tons are not new to the people of Bozeman as
office holders. In fact some of them were oc-
cupying the same positions prior to the election
last spring when E.. j. Parkin was elected mayor
of BOzeman.
To the observed on the side lines it appears that
the city of Bozeman made a decided advancement
for better government when it changed from the
old form to the new or managerial form. There
was great praise given the city throughout the
state and in eastern papers for the Improvement,
as it was considered a doing away with political
influences in city government. That is the funda-
mental basis of the commission form of govern
ment, in conjunction with that of a more econom-
ical business administration.
Looking over the appointments, however, made
by the city manager one is inclined to doubt the
possibilities of success in the new form of gov
eminent for Bozeman. The names placed be-
fore the commissioners, of those to fill the ap-
pOintive offices for the present term, give the
impression that a move has been made backward
to the time prior to the election of last May.
In fact, with the exception of there being but
three men fulfilling the duties of aldermen now,
instead of the eight who were officiating at that
time, the situation is about the same as prevailed
at thattime. The only dicerence being that the city
manager makes the appointments instead of the
mayor, and the appointments are effective with.
out approval of the commissioners.
Announcement was made at the time the city
commissioners took office, that there was to be
strict observance of business methods in conduct
ing city affairs. There was to be no politics in the
