of Ohio might make known their pref
erence.
The President made known his
position in order to comply with the
Ohio primary law which requires can
didates for delegates to the party con
ventions to make known their first
and second choices before February 25
and also requires that the candidates
for delegates have the consent of their
choice to make use of their names.
The President was formally notified
of the requirements of the law last
week and to-day he wrote Charles Q.
Hildebrandt. Secretary of State of
Ohio as follows:
"X am enclosing to you a letter the
occasion of which I dare say will be
quite obvious. Friends in Ohio have
called my attention to Section 405 4 of
the General Code of Ohio as amended
in 1914 with regard to primary elec
tions and have requested that I indi
cate my willingness to have my name
used.
"I accordingly take the liberty of
sending you the enclosed letter as
formal permission under the stat
ute."
The letter the President inclosed
was as follows:
"While I ant entirely unwilling to
enter into any contest for the Presi
dential nomination of the Democratic
party, I am willing to permit (he use
of my name that the Democrats of
Ohio may make known tlieir prefer
ence in regard to that nomination.
"In order, therefore, to satisfy the
technical reuirements o fthe Statutes
of the State of Ohio, I hereby consent
to the use of my name as a candidate
for the Presidency by any candidate
who seeks to be elected a delegate to
the National Democratic convention
which is to assemble in June next."
This was the first time the President
had consented formally to have his
name used in connection with the
nomination. His name lias been plac
ed on primary ballots in several
States, however, through the activities
of friends.
The President takes the position
that the voters will have to determine
whether he will make the race for the
presidency in 1916 as the Democratic
candidate. In a letter written to A.
Mitchell Palmer, then a representative
from Pennsylvania before liis inau
guration, Mr. Wilson made it plain
that he would only be a candidate
again if the Democratic voters de
sired it.
Political advisers and friends of the
President have taken for granted for
months that he would be the nominee
of his party and have made tbeir
plans accordingly. The national Dem
ocratic committee has prepared all
the campaign material with the idea
that he would be the party candidate.
The formal announcement to-day is
expected by Democratic leaders to
clarify the political situation through
out the country. Supportera of the
President, they said to-day, now would
be able to work for liiin more openly.

In discussing the proposed changes
'.ll handling traffic, Chier Zeil and
Captain Thompson both said that they
feel sure the system they have work
ed out will prove more successful
than the methods now in use. Each
officer will have the same signals/to
use. One blast of the whistle will
probably mean the closing of traffic
on the street running north and south,
opening traffic east and west at the
Intersection. Two blasts of the whistle
will reverse this, opening traffic north
and south, and closing the street east
and west. Three blasts of the whistle
for emergency cases will stop all
traffic, to be used in case of Are, ac
cident or other emergency occasions
The force of officers for the squad
has been selected, it was said, and
as soon as the Mayor approves the
plan, work will be started in instruct
ing these men in the points they will
need to meet requirements. Special
diagrams of each important street in
tersection will be made according to
the plans, and the officers for duty
there will be aided in handling the
traffic of that particular place. These
instructions will be given at head
quarters before the men are placed on

Need More Cars and Engines;
Rail Contracts on the
Decline
New York, Feb. 14.—Many large
consumers anxious to obtain assur
ances of steel shipments to cover
manufacturing contracts, made trips
last week to Pittsburgh and Chicago,
resulting in heavy future commit
ments by the mills.
Car shops placed contracts for 65,-
000 tons of steel and 70,000 tons ad
ditional are about to be bought to
cover the construction of 7,000 cars,
contracts l'or which were recently
placed. The railroads have other in
quiries in the market for 16,000 cars
which will require 160,000 tons of
steel.
The demand for motive power is
urgent. Contracts for 14 engines were
placed this week and orders for 350
more are pending. The latter include
90 for the Chicago & Northwestern. 50
for the New Haven, 150 for the New
York Central, 20 for the Bessemer &

building of these locomotives will re
quire 140,000 tons of iron and steel.
Rail contracts amounted to only
12.000 tons, made up of a number of
small supplementary lots, the largest
being 3.500 tons for the New York Mu
nicipal Railways, while additional con
tracts for 100,000 tons are under nego
tiations, mainly for export, but in
cluding 8,000 tons each for the Long

the New York Municipal is still in the
market for 10,000 contact rails.

ELECTRIC TOWER
IN SERVICE SOON
New Enola Yard Equipment
Makes Work Safe For
All Employes
The new electric tower at west
bound hump, Enola yards, Is nearly
completed. It is expected that it will
be placed in service late this week, or
by next Monday. The tower is one
of the most modern constructions on
the Philadelphia division, and is guar
anteed to meet all requirements for a
period of twenty years.
All switches operated from this
tower will be by electric buttons.
Levers are used only in emergency
cases. The tower is a concrete struc
ture" The wires are encased in tubes
and those running along the tracks in
the yards are in wooden conduits. All
switches work automatically.
When one- switch is operated, all
other tracks connecting with this
particular switch are guarded by cau
tion signals. A break in the wires
will immediately cause a danger sig
nal to be shown. The new tower has
been inspected by William B. Mc-
Caleb, superintendent of the Philadel
phia division. It is said that as soon
as this tower is completed n similar
structure will be erected at the east
bound hump.
Railroad Day Big Success;
"Safety" Talk by H. G. Carl
Railroad Day was a biff success at
the Derry Street United Brethren
Men's Bible class In spite of the storm
which kept most everybody with their
feet by the fireside. Two hundred and
twenty-five men were on the job and
they heard a real "safety first" talk
by H. IA Carl. Mr. Carl spoke from
the rear end of a "caboose," built on
the platform. The cabin belonged to
the U. B. R. R„ so the letters on it
said, and it was numbered "500"—the
figure which the class is trying to
reach In its big membership campaign.
Tail-lights and trainmen's red and
white lanterns helped give a genuine
railroad atmosphere to the classroom.
Mr. Carl declared that the Bible Is
the railroad man's rule book for
® af ® ty . ,irst " living. He said the
Word is rapidly taking the place of
the card deck in the caboose all over
the country and declared the Scrip
tures are doing more to lift railroad
ers from the saloon, the poolroom,
gambling den and brothel than any
other influence.

STEELTON AND
COUNCIL HAS
BIG SCHEDULE
Appointment of Fire Chief;
Final Action on Railroad
Ordinance
Steclton's borough council will meet
this evening In postponed session to
dispose of one of the heaviest and
most important schedules of business
to be before that body in many
months.
Principal interest centers around
the appointment of a chief for the
volunteer fire department. Two can
didates, O. E. B. Malehorn and John
E. Shupp, the present chief, have been
prominent mentioned for the place
and both men have had influential
friends working in their behalf.
Mr. Malehorn for nine years has
been president of the Hygienic Hose
Company. His friends are urging his
candidacy on the grounds that the
chieftaincy is due a member of this
company. Mr. Shupp is serving his
third term and is popular among the
liremen, having served a term as vice
president of the State Firemen's Asso
ciation.
From indications this morning the
balloting for the chieftaincy will be
j close and men who have been follow
ing the matter closely intimated that a
tie vote may be expected on the llrst
ballot at least, if all councilmen, in
cluding President J. V. W. Reynders,
I vote.
John Kramer, foreman of the Citi
zen company, and Harry Martssen, of
the Paxtang Hook and Ladder Com
pany, have been mentioned rather
prominently for the first and second
assistant chieftaincy, respectively.
The ordinance granting the Penn
sylvania Railroad the right to es
tablish grade crossings in Franklin,
Conestoga and Trewiek streets with
its proposed new freight spur is sched
uled for final action.
Other important matters to come
up include the opening of bids for
the grading of a new street to the
formal entrance of Luther R. Kelker
park and the letting of a contract for
remodeling the Paxtang Hook and
Ladder firehouse.
TO GIVE SUPPER
