Recent developments in New York City make It certain that there will be four candidates for the mayoralty Fusion. Tammany, Socialist and Progressive-Prohibition. If William It. Hearst becomes a can didate for mayor of New York, It is claimed he will have the support of every !erman newspaper anil . very German organization iii the city. Covernor Mllliken of Maine, who rode into office last fall on a wave of "dry" sentiment, is strong for woman suf frage. The governor wants to go to the United States senate, und he figures that his prohibition stand would give him the women's votes. for twelve years Joshua Willis Alex ander has been a member of congress from the third Missouri district and t.ow he is to have formidable opposition. A Isiom has been started for Judge Frank P. DIvflbbM for the Democratic nomination next year, Which promises to grow large. The Democratic paity in Massachu setts is In a state of collapse just :it n time when, if united and aggressive, it might come into power again. An election for state office n is to he held this fall, and its only candidate In the field for any office Is Mr. Mansfield, again an aspirant for the gubernator ial nomination. Maine has had prohibition longer than any other state, but it has failed to prohibit there, more signally, than in any other state. The "wets" could al ways get their Ihiuor, and. says un Associated Press dispatch, "Since the federal law prohibiting the transporta tion of liquor Into 'dry' territory which went Into effect July 1 there has be n ..o noticeable lack of alcoholic supply."

In abort, no man In this country has given more aid and comfort to the enemy than Benator La Pollette. Monday, Sept. 10, Maine will decide by a referendum whether the state constitution shall he amended to extend the franchise to women, and on Nov. 'i. another woman suffrage amendment will be submitted to the voters of New York state Thus far the campaign in Maine has excited little Interest, and it is believed that suffrage proposition will he defeated if anything ilke a nor mal vote is polled. In New York the suffragists are confident they will win the ballot. A suffrage conference Is to be held at Saratoga this week, at which plans for an aggressive campaign will be drafted. Mayor Thompson of Chicago, who has i . en much in the public ev e recently because of his proCerman pronounce ments, is expected to announce his . an d. lacy lor United States senator at nn early date. His friends say that he can win the nomination easily, as he will have the backing of the following elements The pro-Gernana of Her man descent, the pacitlsts. a percentage of the Socialists, nulte a number from tlie I V.

It is a long time until the end of his term and he boasted that what the people back home thought of his unseemly conduct in Washington did not matter for "they soon forget." There may be a great many of them who will forget in the Interim between now and the lime to choose his successor, but there are ulso a greut many who will set, to It that their memories are refreshed. If Mr. ' Ion 's fate rested in the hands of his constituents us they feel at the pres ent time he would set a Jolt that would send him into an obscurity as discreditable as that of his late col league, Works of California, and he well knows this. If his boast means anything, it means that the length of his senatorial term glvea him license to be as mean as he pleases for some time to come, provided lie resumes a sanctimonious attitude a few months before the campaign begins. If his estimate of the low Intelligence of Oklahoma people is true, he ought to be ashamed to bo their representa tive. Hut the people are not going to be so forgetful. They might forget and forgive many other things in less strenuous times, bllt in this critical period his offenses an- making a deep and lasting Impression that soft Wordl and honeyed oratory will never erase. The people me not going to forget that his conduct and teachings helped to nerve the deluded malcontents al lied to the "Jones family" to the des perate expedient of aimed defiance of the United States. They will not for get that even when he was too sick to cast his vote against the arming of ships, be took pains to write a letter and make known his antipathy to preparedness. They win not for- net that he opposed the declaration of war. the selective draft and the bond Issue; that he tried to nullify the food bill by emasculating amend ments, and is even now intent on means to discredit and hamper the sending of our armies Into the field. We may be forgetful down here about some thingi! but When Mr. Core of fers himself again for senatorial hon ors he will find that the voters of Oklahoma have a painfully gissl memory about his disloyalty In the hour of the national ciisis.

AMERII W mission SOLVES Kl ssivs RAILROAD I'KOBI.KM Find Man) Ways Ry Which Transporta tion May Be Speeded. Moscow, Aug. 2 (Correspondence of th.- Associated PressH-John F Stevens and his associates on the American rail way commission Is now visiting Russia for the purisise of assisting the admin istration of the Russian railways In Increasing their efficiency have discover ed many ways In which transportation may be speeded up on all Russian lines without additional equipment. The commission has advised the United States government to supply Russia with MOf more locomotives and 40.(Min more freight cars as soon as p.. -sii i. However, it win be considt Wable time lfore this rolling stork can be manufactured anil shipped to Russia. The shortage of bottoms on both the Atlantic and the Pacific will delay the delivery of the new rolling stock and additional shops must be erected at Vladivostok hf-foro such great quantities of locomotives and cflhi can be put together speedily. Meantime Russia must make the most of its available rolling stock and loco motive power and the American en gineers arc busily engaged asslstng the Russian railway officials In a study of the immediate problems. The Russian roadbeds are In excel lent condition. Virtually all the lines were well built originally and the tracks have been kept up. chiefly through the work of peasant women, in spite of the shortage of labor created by the heavy draft the war has made usm the male population. After traveling the full length of the Truns-Slberlan line and inspecting many of the ImiHirtant lines in central and southern Ku ropes n Russia the Ameri can engineers have found that Russian railway men are working at great dis advantage In not having up-to-date equipment for coaling, watering and cleaning locomotives. At nearly all stations In both Kuro I" .in .md Asiatic Russia, engines are watered by moans of eight Inch pipes. From twelve to twenty minutes is re quired for work which is accomplished in the Fnlted States in four or five minutes. Hv the installation of twelve inch supply pipes this delay can Is? eliminated. By the Russian methods twenty-four hours Is required to clean a locomo tive, coal it and get up steam again. Steam chutes are lucking and the fuel is transferred from piles to the tender by means of Steam shovels. Work that could be done in five minutes with mod ern coaling apparatus requires much time Then the Russian nglne hOUSSS lack the hot water equipment nSCSS sary for the washing out of holler en gines as soon as the locomotive comes Off its run.
