I Speaker Defends Passage oi Eight-Hour Law?Cheers < Are Given Haussling. [ Democratic oratorical batteries of (J the heavier calliber boomed in the Thirteenth Ward last night. Congressman J. Willard Ragsdale of South Carolina was the principal speaker at a rally and a banner rais* ing under the auspices of the Thirteenth Ward Democratic Club, and there was not sufficient room to accomodate the throng which assembled to hear him answer the attacks that have been made upon President Wilson and his administration by Republican spellbinders. Speaking from the same platform as the Congressman were John A. Matthews, candidate for Congress in I the Ninth District, who arraigned Congressman R. Wayne Parker, his Republican, rival, as having betrayed his constituency by his reactionary tactics; former Mayor Haussling, who again assailed Mayor Raymond; and some of the Democratic Assembly nominees. - In apparnetly convincing fashion Congressman Ragsdale drove home his arguments in defense of the night-hour railroad law, and his reference to President Wilson as "a God-given man" caused a demonj stration which lasted fully two minutes. The Congressman declared he came prepared to tell the voters of Newark and Essex county just what prompted Prseident Wilson and the Democratic Congress to enact the eight-hour law. Saw Disaster Looming. "We could see," said the Congressman, "the great cotton fields in the South and the great wheat fields in the West and Northwest going to ruin, and the great industrial plants of the East at a standstill?all the \ forerunner of disaster to which the people of this nation would be subjected. Our Republican friends arc going about the country calling our action a 'surrender to force.' The thinking public of this great country has realized t.hat this is nnt so and we will have to wait but a short time to hear the public's verdict." Mr. Ragsdale gave his hearers an , intimate view of happenings at Washington in connection with the enactment of the eight-hour law. 1 He declared that if that act had not 1 been passed by Congress the farmers in the West would have been deprived of a market for their products, just as would the industrial centers have found it necessary to close up I shop for the want of transportation facilities. The speaker left it to the j imagination of the audience as to what would have been the result of a general tie-up of the railroad sysI terns of the country. ( The Congressman stirred his audii / tors by his reference to the interest displayed by the President in the child labor legislation passed by Congress. He told of how the Prseident had made a personal appeal to the Democratic members of Congress to enact a law that would afford the children of the nation a chance to be \ educated and thus grow up to be help f ful and healthy citizens. Denies Sectionalism Charge. Using the action of Democrats in passing the federal statute regulating child labor, Mr. Ragsdale reminded the voters that in the South, as everywhere else, the Democrats believed in state rights and that the enactment of the federal child labor bill readily discounted the Republican cries that the Democrats were fos\ ?. ?

If the Democrats believed in sectionalism, as charged oy our Republican friends," said Mr. Kagsdale, 'they would have refused to pass this child I labor law." Bringing to the Democrats a message of confidence from the Democratic leaders of thet country that a Wilson landslide was under way, Mr. Itagsdale likened the President to Washington and Lincoln, asserting tnat "even greater problems had confronted u?e President than were those of the time of either Washington or Lincoln. The speaker brought his address to a close with a reference to what he said was the issue that was sounding from coast to coast and in which the motners and fathers of children were vitally interested. It was the question of peace, which has been maintained in this country with Wilson as the President, while the majority of the European nations were tearing each other into shreds. Would Contrast Peace and War. "Would that it were possible," sain Mr. Ragsdale in conclusion, "that 1 could take all the fathers and mothers of this country to the battlefields of Europe and there show them the frightful carnage, the ruthless destruction of the flower of youth; the desolation that exists where before peace and prosperity were at evory turn. That is the picture they would behold. Then I would return them to this countrty and bring them into our great wheat fields, our cotton fields and our great industrial centers. I would show them the copy homes of our happy wage-earners, I the great wave of prosperity that Is sweeping back and forth over this land, and then let them decide for I themselves." Likening Mr. Parker to a representative of a generation ago, Mr. Matthews challenged his progressiveness, I especially concerning his negative I vote on the child labor legislation. He also sought to show that the present j Congressman is of the old school of statesmen by direcitng attention to the part Mr. Parker had in the Repub lican fight against the Adamson eight-hour law. He declared the Republican minority leader, Congressman Mann, turned over the leadership in the fight against tthe bill to Mr. Parker, because "he knew that a 1. - i ? * * man wno wouia vote against the health and strength and happiness of the children of America could be counted on not only to vote against the interests of the full grown workingmen of America, but could be trusted to lead the opposition to their interests to the last ditch." Quoting references of Mr. Parker to happenings in Wall Street after the recent peace rumor, which indicated the Democratic prosperity was fictititous, Mr. Matthews said his opponent would have the people believe Wall Street was the pulse of American prosperity. Declares Wall Street's Hold Broken. | "No, Mr. Parker," said Mr. Mat thews, "that Wall Street tremor was but a touch of infantile paralysis that ! struck the 'war babies.' The days when Wall Street controlled the credit and the money of America ceased when a Democratic Congress and a Democratic President put upon the statute books of America the federal reserve act, and the rural credits act and those other business-liberating laws that have been acknowledged by word and by vote of some of your own Republican colleagues in the House as real progressive legislation." To Mr. Haussling was given one of those receptions that were characteristic of his appearance at political meetings when he was in the saddle as the city's Chief Executive. Cheers frequently interrupted him as he arraigned the Raymond administration for what he termed false economy and laxity. The Assmebly nominees who spoke included Felix Forlenz.a, Joseph C. Soemer and Joseph Siegler. James T xx;u~i? - ' 1 - ' ??. vTuutuii, president or tne club, introduced the speakrs. o m INCREASES EGG PRODUCTION Clemson College, S.

The Clemson game has been played and again Carolina lost to her foe. But we are determined to win next year. The game Thursday between Carolina and Clemson was fiercely contested. Clemson won, however. Many alumni of both institutions witnessed the game, and cheered their colors on. The score was 27 to 0 in favor of Clemson. On Friday the Clemson freshmen' played Carolina's freshmen and were defeated by the score of 27 to 13. This was a beautiful game, filled with good plays. The Clemson team j outweighed Carolina by good margin, but Carolina had the proper! coaching and took the game easily.

Washington, Nov. 1.?Ponderous governmental machinery stood stock still today while a thirteen year old girl stood before a group of dignified generals and tearfully pleaded for the life of a little yellow dog. She was Esther Smiley, of Maryland, sister of Private Peter Smiley, v. recruit in the United States Marine Corps, and the dog she held in her arms had been Peter's playmate since youth. "Hover will surely die of grief unless you send him on to my brother," the little girl sobbed. And wonder of wonders, the dignified generals understood the little girl's plea, and, acting insti.nter to preclude the embalming of Rover in the red tape of officialdom, gave the necessary instructions, and within ar. hour the faithful playmate of Private Peter Smiley was crated up ready for shipment to the Marine Corps recruit depot, Port Royal, S. C., where Peter is in training for the land and sea duties of marines. o Bran is an excellent poultry food.

Train Takes 309 to Philadelphia From Virginia DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ALERT No Evidence to Show Fraud in Election Is Intended. j Pittsburg.?Three hundred negroes arrived here early today on a special train over the Pennsylvania railroad from points in Viriginia. They were accompanied by special agents of a number of industrial concerns in whose mills they will immediately go to work. In roder to make up the loss of for eign workmen, the South is looked to in order to supply this domand, several thousand negroes having been Drought from Southern States. A thousand or more have passed through here on their way to West Virginia towns, many to work in the mines. Migrations Closely Watched. Washington.?-.The Department of Justice is watching all migrations or negroes and other workmen from Southern States to Northern industrial centers, but so far has found no established case of election fraud. Every movement northward of any considerable extent of Southern labor is under the surveilance of special agents and disposition of the men upon arrival is being watched. Every federal district attorney is keeping in touch with this situation and the whole corps of special agents of the Department of Justice is at the disposal of the district attorneys to investigate suspected cases. Laborers have gone from Florida, I Virginia, Kentucky and other States by train loads, many of them to fill the gaps in the labor ranks of the railroads, caused by the departure of foreign labor for the European war and a large proportion of the Southern influx is being used in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, New York and other States by not only railroads but other large industrial plants. Officials of the department have no estimate of the number who have gone from the South, but from Florida alone it is estimated that 10,000 have gone in the past two or three months. o L. J.
