TWO FACTIONS, “INS” AND “OUTS” In the past, municipal campaigns have always been between two po- litical factions, representing only a small proportion of the community, but extremely active. According to their fate at the previous election they have been known as the “ins’ and the “outs.” But now a third factor looms tn the field. Thé “common peepul,” tired of the ceaneless strife, have at last entered politics and have put a tieket of their own in the field. This, rather incongruously, has been cail- ed the “harmony ticket’—in face of the Tact that its Inception means anything but harmony in the cam- paign.

Thompson made the an- nouncement in aswer to a rumor which had spread over the city that three companies of guardsmen were being mobilized for service in the coal fields. ARMORY ACTIVITY DUE TO RAIL STRIKE This rumor he denied as an “un- qualified fabrication’” declaring that the unusual activity at the armory for the last week was due solely to the imminent railroad strike. “We have our plans in readiness, and, if necessary, we can mobilize all our forces at a moment's notice,” he said. “No matter what turn is taken by affairs, the state guard will be ready to perform any and every duty which devolves upon it.” Gen. Thompson added that he ex pects the state troops will be called into the federal service in the event the government finds it needs them to either guard the lines or man the trains. “In that case,” he explained, “all the state would have to worry about would be the supplying and mobiliza- | tio nof the troops.
