That a governor is not to be elec
ted at the general election in 1920;
that It is the 4ty of Sam A. Koier
as deputy secretary of state and a
ministerial officer to follow the rul
ing of the court by not mentioning
the office of governor as one to be
filled at that election when he cer.
tifies to county clerks a list of the
offices to be filled; and that the
wboe question may be -gotten into
the sup:ue court 1 Tor a test by
i mandamus action against the secre
tary of stce, brought by any citi
zen and voter, to compel the secre
tary, to include; the office of gover-
? nor, -or by any candidate for gover
nor to compel the secretary to ac
cept: his petition. This in substance
'is the opinion jof Attorney General

Since the attorney. general,-in an
, opinion dated March 21, this year,
hell substantially the same relative
to Governtr Oldott's tenure, the Im

urday is that suggesting remedial
action in the coutt.
"A candidate ! far governor," says
the opinion, "who attempts to file
his petition as such candidate at the

mandamus proceedings against the

Later the opinion says: ;
"Basing my Judgment upon the

American troops from McAllen

CHIAGO. Nov. 1. Although to
night found nearly all the nation's
vast bituminous coal fields closed
as a result of the miners' strike ef
fective Friday midnight thousands of
non-union miners were at work, and
in scattered districts where contracts
still were in force, union miners re
ported today as usual. Figures com
piled tonight and based chiefly upon
union 'leaders' claims, although In
many cases conceded by the operat
ors, showed that 435.&20 men were
on strike.
Effect Not Infinite.
In its physical aspects the strike
apparently had largely stopped pro
duction of soft coal, but with large
non-union fields in Pennsylvania and
West Virginia in particular still ,op
erating at somewhat near normal,
and with a number of smaller fields
also operating with union contract
miners, the -usual effect upon pro
duction could not be definitely stat
ed. -
The first day of the strike was All
Saints Day, also Saturday, a virtual
holfday in many mining regions, and
the full power of the United Mine
workers of America which ordered
the strike will not be fully gauged
until Monday.
Coal operators claimed thousands
of non-union miners were producing
coal in the usual quantities although
conceding that, in union fleld3 the
strike was effec'tiveg.
Union leaders claimed in most in
stances that the strike was virtually
100 per cent ffectlve throughout the
country. '
Army Supply Stopped.
Although the quartermaster gen
eral of the army ordered the man
agement of the O'Gara mine, near
Springfield, Ills., which supplies
Camp Grant, a permanent army can
tonment at Rockford, Ills., to con
tinue operation, the miners remain
ed away from the mine.
ATTORNEYS INSTRUCTED TO
REPORT ON ALL. MOVES
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. In
structions were iiseud today by At
torney General Palmer to all United
State attorneys to keep closely in
touch with the situation in their dis
tricts and report promptly any con
certed action 'by any two or more
persons' to limit facilities for trans
porting, producing, supplying, stor
ing or dealing in coal, or to exact
excessive prices.
While no official explanation of
the order was available, one purpose
aimed at, was understood to be to
prevent radical agitators among the
ilde coal miners from obtaining a
leadership.

Training of Men Near Homes
and Calling in Actual War
. v Are Features
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. A volun
teer force of officers and men who
served in the. great war. so organized
aa to preserve war-time designations
of units, was proposed to the mili
tary committees of congress todSiy
by General Pershing as the basis for
a permanent reserve to be maintain
ed in the future by universal service.
Lntil universal training got under
way, he told the committee divisions
and smaller units now disbanded
could be brouKht back Into existence
on paper, which enough volunteers
from their former personnel to make
np the skeleton of a continuing re
serve system.
I'niU Near Homes Is Plan.
Later, he continued, men emerg
ing from universal training camps
could be assigned to these reserve
nnlts in their home localities. He
suggested that the men thns assigned
be assembled for drill or maneuvers
"once or twice daring the period they
are held for possible service," after
training, though, they-could not be
actually called Itno active service ex
cept In time of war. -
Guard Doenn't Fit ta.
The general said the problem of
filling in this plan with any contin
uance of the national guard as such,
was a difficult one. He suggested
that the governors of states might
be given authority to call the re
serves Into service la local emergen
cies, but preferred that their train
ing and organization be distinctly
federaL
General Pershing also declared his
preference for army promotion by re
lection rather than seniority. anf
recommended a single list for pro
motion. In that way, he said, much
"dead timber" could be eliminated
and existing Inequalities between
staff and line removed. The present
promotion system he characterized
as -absurd."
