There ls no doubt which plan is most efficient and Immediately productive. We have a great object lesson acros the Atlantic. But today the wire-despatches al ready bring high hopes of amicable settlement of even the gravest Indus trial danger, the threatened railway tie-up. These men, the employers and the employees, are rational. They have been trained In the American way of Individualism. Of course they know what they want, they both want the same thing. It now looks like that thing will be divided. Mr. Hughes says the human element is after all the only real factor. That means each reasons for himself In deciding these questions and has his own part in his own fortune. It is our system of government.

Frank Hanly, former republican governor of Indiana and recently the candi date of the Indiana progressive party for governor, this afternoon was for mally notified of his nomination as a candidate for president of the United States fey the prohibition party.

Jt was this plank adopted by Indiana progres sives that caused htm to refuse the nomination for governor. Hanly devoted as much time to the Mexican situation the tariff and to Americanism as he did to prohibi tion. ' "We are falling and have failed to assure and guarantee the lives and shirked it Hanly said prohibition offered the hegt mPans preparedness. He came out strong for Americanism,' but .warned against militarism in top great preparedness. He said so far as a crisis In American life Is con cerned, It will "make absolutely no difference whether Wilson or Hushes Is elected," for "both are Intensely American and jealous of the nation's honor. Both love peace, but either would sacrifice it to save the nation's honor." Hanly declared "there is no crisis."

THOMPSON, County Agent. HIHETY PER CEIIT FAVORS STRIKE New York, Aug. 8. Presidents of the four railroad brotherhoods and representatives of the 225 railroads affected by the employes' demands; met here today to listen to the re sults of the so-called strike vote, In volving 400,000 men. It Is generally known more than 90 per cent of the men have voted to strike unless the demands for an eight-hour basic day and time and one-half for overtime are granted. , Representatives of both employes and employers say there Is little pos sibility ot an immediate strike even though the situation Is apparently deadlocked. Although the Switchman's Union of North America asked for help from the federal board of mediation and conciliation and has agreed to submit Its demands to arbitration, officers of the four brotherhoods have not taken kindly to any suggestion of government aid In arbitration, Representatives of the employes to day dpolaro Its men were dissatisfied with the recent awards of the ar bitration boards and not with the theory itself. The employes havo pub llcly announced opposition to the proposal that the Interstate com. merce commission investigate the controversy. It is contended thut the commission Is not equipped to handle the situation, and has not power to settle wage disputes. The vote represents tho decision of about 400,000 railway employes of 250 roads with a mileage of about 250,000, or practically every line In the United States. By an overwhelm ing majority, members of the other three employes' organizations rallied to the support of the hrakemen, who demanded an eight-hour day and time and one-half for overtime. The result of the vote was an nounced today when heads of tho four brotherhoods met with represen tatlves of the railroads In the rooms of the Engineering Society. Confer ees representing the two sides then went Into a lengthy discussion of tho attitude taken by the men. W. S. Stone, representing the loco motive engineers' brotherhood, an nounced that 98.72 percent of the engineers In the southeastern dis trict hsd voted In favor of a strike If the demands of the brotherhood of trainmen are not met. In the western district 90,35 percent of the engineers favored a strike. In the eastern district 94.64 percent voted for a strike. W. 8. Carter, head -of the fire men's organisation, anuounced fhat 98,1 percent of his men had cast their ballots In 'favor of a strike, A number of non-union meu balloted with the union firemen ho said and a total ot 70.05J firemen were rep resented In the ballot. W. O. Lee, head of the trainmen's brotherhood, announced a vote of 97 percent In favor of a strike, The ballots of 1,400 trainmen were de layed In arrival but the count repre sented the verdict of 129.1 OR em ployes, he said. President A. IV Gnrretson, of the conductors, announced that about S percent of the 34.840 men who Voted, favored the strike. They were divid ed as follows: Western district 84. S percent; eastern district 84,8 per cent; southern district 93,4 percent. After listening' to the results of the vote, Te was asked by Garrot son as spokesman for the employes, whether he had any definite proposi tion to make. Lee replied he had nothing to say, had no authority to make any offer of any kind and that there was nothing to do hut adjourn and allow representatives of the em ployers to discuss the results of the vote.
