indicated clearly enough that this is
the plan that should be followed at
the Progressive state convention.
That the nomination will be rendered
Borah on the Progressive ticket and
that it will be strictly up to the SEN
ator to decide his political preference

by Mr.. Dunbar and which seems to
meet with the approval of the con-

Progressive or as Republican and

FINANCES PREVENT
 IMPROVING SIGNALS
W. P. Raarup Arrested On
 Charge Of Conspiracy

.f a
 An improvement in street traffic bea- cons was reluctantly rejected Thursday by Commissioner w. B. .Cloe and Capt. W. w. Brent of the traffic department because of the lack of finances.
 R. J. Wade of Grouse. Hinds X Co.,, Syracuse. N. Y.. who manufacture tue type of traffic beacons used in Bir- mingham. called on the commissioner and received the order for the doubling of the number of beacons in Birmlng- ham. He told the commissioner that an improvement had been made. an attached diffusing lens. which rendered the signals visible immediately at the street intersection, making it unneces- sary to view the lights block or so away in the daytime. The attachment also makes possible four red lights and four amber lights on at one time for extra precaution when the fire depart ment is on the move. As it costs S22 more per beacon for the improvement and the recent 5000 appropriation will almost double the present system, the change will not be made.
 Mir. Wade stated that the additional beacons will be in Birmingham 10 days after the receipt of the order at Syra- cuse. When they are installed Bir- mingham will have the signals for traf- fic at every street intersection between First and Fifth avenues and Eighteenth to Twenty-second streets.

QUINN MAJORITY
 SHOWS INCREASE
Kimbrough Still Clings To Hope In Counties
 Unheard From

Later returns in Tuesdays primary served to increase the lead of l. 1T. Quinn for election as commissioner of game and fisheries over A. l.. Kim brough. Incomplete figures received from 62Scounties gave Quinn 3S, ,496 and Kimbrough 32,20O.
 Kimbrough ran strong in most all counties and continued Thursday to claim the election when all votes are counted. However, counties yet to. be heard from can hardly overcome lead of 6,296 maintained by Quinn.
 Many counties were busy Thursday making an official count. Official re- turns from several counties are included in compilation carried in this issue.
 The other two candidates for the of flee, E. R. Hoyt and ]. A.. Dickin- son, trailed far behind in the race.
 In a few counties no interest was taken in the state eentests and no eff fort was made to total the figures be- fore the count required by law.
