GOLDTHWAITE, Bept TV—J. M.
Arnold, jyho.lft agent for the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe railway at
Goldthwalte, announce* that he will
l>e a candidate for railroad commis-
sioner to succeed E. B. Mayfleld, He
•ays: " "*
"There la not a man connected with
the railroad that knowa of my inten-
tion of entering the race. On Jan. 1
1 will give up my position with this
road, never again to enter the rail-
road service if I win the race. I will
then be a farmer, as that le all that I
ever was before I began railroad-
ing."
As he is a stranger to most of the
people of Texaa and fn order that his
opponents may have an opportunity
"to dig up something to fight me
with," Hr. Arnold furntehea a brief
autobiography. He spent the first
sixteen years of life on a farm, aad
the rest of It railroading. In Hop?
kins county, where he began, he was
a charter member of the Farmer**
union at Pecan Orove. Next he work-
ed as a section laborer, and then,
learning telegraphy, was employed by
the Cotton Belt railroad for a year,
lie was agent for the Orient railroad
at Benjamin, Knox county, and for
the Santa Pe at Kitteca. Bell county,
and Goldthwalte, Mills county. He
refers to the people of all these places
and "to every man in Mills county.'
"I will not begin by misrepresent'
lng the facts," says Mr. Arnold. "It
is customary for candidates to say
thst their friends called on them la a
body and Induced them to run for
office against their will. .This is not
the case with me. Until this is print-
ed my friends will not know of my In-
tentions. I am asking the people of
Texas for the office; they are not run-
ning after me to accept."
Mr Arnold's candidacy, he 4
Clares, Is based on a platform of
"It has amused me to aee how the
politicians get busy Just before ap
election and lnelte the public against
the railroads, get the votes and settle
down again on the job until next elec-
tion time when they do the same thing
over again leaving the public and the
railroa'ds to settle the muddle they
(th« politicians) got them into. The
publtf can aot ur dtratand why the
railroads'do not build a new tills in-
to every county In the state and Im-
prove existing lines. The railroads
can aot understand why they are com-
pelled to furnish the means of eieotlng
the officers only^to find these arrayed
against them on every side by fur-
nishing them with unnecessary law
suits to defend and forcing them to do
unnecessary things to appeaso the
public sentiment .which they have
aroused In order to get office.
"I propose to submit*-* platform
based on the Golden Rule, and to be
governed by it I not believe the
progressive people of Texas will turn
a deaf ear t > the truth. I believe the
time has come when all honest people
will .give the railroad Interests of
Texas a square deal and pull together
for a progressive Texaa. I believe
that adverse legislation against rail-
roads results from a lack of knowl-
edge of the true facte and the causes
behind it. I do not believe there is an
honest man in Texas who would sanc-
tion a reduction in ratee on anything
if thereby a loss was caused to the
ratlroada I believe the people of
Texaa would Ilka t know the truth
from a man who Is not misrepresent-
ing facts for a purpose.
"Up to this time there has not been
a candidate to make a race offering a
square deal to the railroads, as this
feature has been looked upon as
neaning defeat I am not afraid to
make the race on this issue. I have
nothing to lose aad all to win if I can
do It ia an honorable way. If I am
elected It will be by the people know-
ing that they are going to give the
railroads a square deal so far as I
am concerned. I would not accept the
office under nay other circum-
stance*"

we can force railroads to do;
are tpaajr thing which we cannot
force them to but which they
would nevertheless do of their own
accord were the matters differently
handled. I will vote agalnat all frauds

complaint be made by a widow; jus-
tice should be aprUled te all alihe. On
all local Issues the community snd
the carrier Involved should be heard.
On all state issues the entlie public
should be heard."
As to the ainew of war, Hr. Arnold
ya:
"X expect to borrow the money from
farmers to make this campaign, and
will positively refuse to accept a dol-
lar from any source free. But I will
be honest and aay just whs*: you ex-
pect me to say. I will appreciate any-
thing the railroads may do for me
honorably with the understanding
that I will do juat what I have obli-
gated myself to do snd no more.
"I naturally expect all railroad em-
ployes to vote for me and use their
influence for me, as there is none of
them but knows my policies to be
right and just."—Galveston and Dal-
las Newa. Sunday, September SI.
It will be aald ln this campaign
that I am a friend to corporations snd
that It will be dangerous to elect .me
to office that deals with the corpora-
tions. I want the whole world to
know that I am a friend to any cor-
poration that haa been furnished with
a license or charttr te do business
under the seal of the Lone Star. The
lawa of Texas are sufficient to protect
the public from corporations. In or-
der thst the cltlsens may not be afraid,
to declare their true sentiment, either
for or against s square deal to all cor-
porations recognised by the state of
Texas,^^ will make the following
sworn statement and agreement with
the understanding that it may be used
against me in the future.
On the SSth day of September,
It 13, I am not worth one cent over
and above my indebtedness. If the
cltlsens of Texas elect me to the office
of Railroad Commissioner which pays
four thousand dollars per annum,
term of six years. I will make an affi-
davit to jm itemised statement of to-
come and disbursement every ninety
days and turn same over to the Secta-
ti ry of State. I will add to this state-
ment that I have not been influenced
by corporations or their officers dur-
ing the time, at the end gt the term. I
will swear to the entire term and turn
it over to the public, and cause to be
printed in every daily paper in the
State a statement showing how my
finances are when I leave th • office.
In addition to this safeguard there
is two Commissioners that were elect-
ed on a ticket that does not favor cor-
porations that will watch every move
that I make and be glad to report
them to the public.
With this statement, I solicit the
support of every citisen of Texas,
corporations, their employes > try one
man on this platfor a for an experi-
ment if nothing else and tee if there
is not a better understanding between
th* public, the corporations aad their
employes.

he did not underestimate the valuable
service rendered by automoblllsts in
the propaganda for road building.
'The suggestion of great national
transcontinental roads appeals to my
Imagination as does the suggestion of
Interstate rosds connecting capitals or
aities of commercial importance to
say logical fdculty and to the mnmti
of pleasure thst I experience in riding
about the country ln my friends' au-
tomobiles. But that the aaaentlal thing
to be done Is the providing of good
roads which shall get products from
the community farms to the nearest
station and make rural life more
profitable, comfortable, pleasurable. I
entertain no sort of doubt, snd It Is
obvious thst the represents tlve* of
the people in congress are like mind-
ed. For in making their recent ap-
propriation of a half million dollars
for good roads they stipulated that It
should ke used Hi Improving the con-
dition of post roads with a view to the
economy and efficiency of postal de-
livery and for the transportation of
farm products to Hie market.
Tim Rsntlsl Things.
"Such roads are equally essential to
the establishment and operation of
decent elementary and secondary
schools for the benefit of the conn
try boys and glrla. I do not eliminate
other things from consideration and
I don't under-estlmate the rights and
pleasures of the automoblllsts and the
service they have rendered In the pro-
pawd* for road building.
"That the suggestion of the federal
aid to road building ralaes grave ques-
tions and involves possible dargers. no
thoughtful citisen doubts. There are
propoaals before the nubile mind
whteh would bankrupt the federal
treasury and suggest possible abuses
before which those of the worst pork
barrel bills of the past would pale Into
Insignificance. No proposal which
doe« not earry with It the assurance of
safeguarding the treasury In this di-
rection seems to me to stand the ghost
of n cbane# •, Mp considera-
tion.
"The flm i r >< tii it .. entials In
the plan of road legislation would
seem to be to recognise the states
the smallest unit with which the
federal government might deal. This
would give relief from the Insistent
demand that would come from ever)'
township and every district in the
union for its share of .state or federal
assistance without reference to the
practicability of the undertaking.
AdfoeMn Co-operation.
"It would seem that the basic feat
ure would be such co-operation be-
tween the states and federal govern-
ment as would leave with the states
the initiative In the selection of roads
to receive aid and *s much of the Im-
mediate construction snd mainten-
ance as would be practicable.!
"It also is ressonably clear that
there must be some automatic check
on the demands to be made on con-
gress and that this should-be afford-
ed through the requirement that the
states aad the localities should con-
tribute an amount Idlt for construc-
tion and maintenance at least equal
to. and posglbly double, thst contribut-
ed by the federal government."
Other speakers before the congress
today included Logan W. Page, presi-
dent of the American Highway asso-
ciation, who condemned what he
termed "haphassard Issues of long-
term bonds for highway building." A.
W. Campbell, deputy minister of rail-
ways and canals in Canada; Wm. D.
Schler. chairman Massachusetts State
Highway ceminis!son aad Prank W
Buffum, state highway commissioner

A letter from President Wilson ex-
pressed regret because of Inability to
attend the congress. "Every man who
wishes to see this country made the
most of," he wrote, "must sympa-
thise with efforts now being made-to
weave It together by good roads."

Twenty-Two Thousand Five Hun-

GALVESTON. Tex., Sept 29.—The
British steamship "Iowa" cleared Sat-
urday for Bremen with a record car-
go of cotton, 22,000 bales of the sta-
ple are stowed below decks on the
"Iowa," being the largest single car-
go taken by any ship from Galveston
to foreign ports. The "Iowa" first
cleared last Tuesday and was forced
to return to her dock to have her
bunkers re-trimmed.
The "Iowa" left pier 29 Tuesday
morning with a slight list to star-
board. After entering the gulf the
list was perceptibly increased until It
reached 30 degrees. Captain Adams
then decided to return to Galveston.
The list was due to the shifting of
coal in the bunkers and the captain
thought it unwise to proceed without
retrimming. The "Iowa" is one of
the largest freighters entering the
gulf and maintains a regular sailing
schedule between Gslveston and Bre-
men.

BRITISH LABOR LEADER
EXPLAINS CLASS WAR
Tom Mann Declares That Present Un-
rest Is the Kcsult of Calm and De-
liberate Judgment.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2#.—"The class
war now being fought between labor
and capital in the United Kingdom
is not the dissatisfaction of a set of
incompetents but the direct effort of
serious minded men, fully conscious
of the causes of their poverty and ab-
solutely confident of their own ability
to cure the same."
Tom Mann, the British labor lead-
er, thus expressed himself at a mass
meeting ln a local amusement park
tonight.
"Standards in the lives of work-
men in the United Kingdom." he con-
tinued, "haa been raised more by di-
rect industrial action during the last
five years than t>y parliamentary ac-
tion during the preceding fifty years.
"Similar action Is being taken ln
the United States and at this hour
greater activity is being shown by the
American Federation of Labor than
has been the case at any time during
the last twenty years.
"Ths civilised world is confronted
with the stupendous fact that an
economic revolution is upon it. It is
one In favor of such a revolution, X
am pleased with the hearty reception
r have received throu, 'iout the Unlt-
States and with the great freedom
of speech which has been allowed
me. I had thought It might be dif-
ferent.
"The all important purpoaa and Im-
mediate aim of the movement I am
advocating Is the reduction of the
hours of work Internationally. Our
ultimate aim is a six hour day and
five and a half working week. This
ventually will eliminate unemploy-
ment."
