All officers and directors were re-elected. A report by the secretary stated that In the past year 39 fire losses and 34 lightning losses had been paid by the company, and that the company at present had 4700 policy holders. According to a statement by the treasurer, the company is in good condition financially, for the total receipts of 1911 amounted to $31,497.97, while the expense of settling losses and running the organisation were only $30,257.56, leaving a balance of $1,240.31 at the first ot this year.

THINK WATSON IS TO MAC0!1TEST New Castle Times Gives Its Opinion on District Political Conditions. Regarding James Eli Watson the New Castle Times comes out with the following frank statement: If the Republicans of the Sixth Dis trict do not - .Hon. Jimti SL Watson to run for congress they had better not offer him the nomination. Neither had they better let him know that he could get it for the asking or for the running for it. He wants to make the race and wants it so bad that he can taste it. The visit of Vice President Sherman to the Sixth District last October and all the hullabaloo incident thereto were not just little current happenings without political significance. It was surmised at the time that it was a prearranged plan to put Our Jim back in the running, but when he made that famous speech telling of the 57 varieties of fool-Republicans and yellow necks that existed in Wayne county, it was supposed that he had taken himself out of the race. But some politicians like some cats, have nine lives and can resurrect themselves when occasion demands. Jim Watson belongs to this breed and can get in the game whenever he hears the call and his hearing is good. There is much difference of opinion among Republicans as to the strength Mr. Watson would develop as a candidate. Some political wiseacres claim that he would make the best race of any man In the party and could come nearer defeating Finly Gray. Other workers say that Jim would fall down In Wayne county and would be likely to lose it altogether. No Republican , could be elected in this district unless he carried Wayne by a substantial plurality. There are still other Republicans who would not commit themselves on the Watson proposition, and it is these "still others' that are to be feared. They are the uncertain quantity that make . the politicians hesitate. It it were aasured that Watson would be the strongest candidate he could have the nomination, for more than anything else is wanted a man who can beat Finly Gray, who has " demonstrated that he is a past master at the political game. Finly is a good fence builder and a tireless worker, so that beating him will be no child's play. Another feature that will add spice to the campaign, according to the report, will be the financial side. Watson has influential friends, such as Cannon,. Sherman and others who are leaders of the Republican party. Mr. Watson is a valuable man for the Republicans to have in congress and there would be no lack of funds to carry on a campaign for his election.' Some persons say that $50,000 could be put into this district, but we do not see where' that amount could be used to advantage. There is not a large floating vote in the Sixth District and it iki the quiet vote, the kind that money does not reach, that Is in doubt. For that reason we do not attach much Importance to this wild talk. Watson is a hard campaigner and a good one. He has an immense acquaintance and could quickly effect a working organisation. . There are no other candidates mentioned for the Republican nomination and we would risk a guess that the contestants in next fall's campaign will be Finly Qray and James B, Jaaoav .,,

The several teams were quick in taking advantage of the removal of the "card restriction" yesterday noon. Many large factories in town were visited, and by securing donations of 25 cents and more from the working men, many hundreds of dollars was added to today's contributions. Most of the business today consisted of "rounding up" the men who had not quite decided whether to subscribe! Will Exceed $50,000? Charles W. Jordan, general of the business men's army, asserted that "the campaign will be a great success, and when the final reports are read this evening an amount wellin excesa of the $50,000 necessary will be shown. The campaign has been a wonderful thing for Richmond, since it has shown that Richmond will support an enterprise for good moral training."

FIND USE FOR THE Suggested Money Obtained This Way Be Used to Buy Motorcycle. A plan to provide motorcycles for the police force will probably be offered to the next meeting, of council, to be embodied in an ordinance. It will provide that all monies paid into the city treasury as rewards for capture of criminals by the Richmond police force shall be " set apart as a fund,' from which motorcycles and possibly an au4 tomobile, shall be purchased. It has been demonstrated many times that "motorcycle cops" are often needed in the city. Such -officers, besides answering emergency calls, could regulate the speed of automobiles and scorchers could be apprehended by an officer mounted in this manner. Many hundreds of dollars have been paid into the city treasury in rewards, earned for detection of criminals by the local force, and the councilman who has the drawing up of the ordinance in charge, states that ft la his opinion that as the police earned the money, they should be the benefited parties in the manner in which It is spent. Chief of Police Gormon favors the plan, and all the officers are enthusiastic over it. It is also stated, that when, the street ear system, as has been suggested, pays the , salary of the corner policeman on duty in the day time, at the corner ' of Eighth - and Main streets, the sum which the, city appropriates for his salary be used to pay for an. additional man who shall be on duty all the time at the polfoe station, ready with the motorcycle to aUl emergency . csJla
