Walker Is being put forward aa a candidate for the United States Senate In the next Democratic primaries by the same frlenda who started his campaign for the- - Governorship two years ago. These .friends have formed tho opinion that Gov. Smith wilt not be a candidate for the Senate, but wi)l seek another term at Albany. They.thereforo believe that the .way has been cleared for Mr. Walker's candidacy.. The promoters othe campaign are counting orr tho\ \women's vote. Mr. Walker has. . always , been a. consistent ndvocato of 'women suffrage. As pre- siding officer of ' the Senate\ ho gained a considerable following and his close association with William w. Farley, chairman of the Dernocratlo State com- mittee, will, It Is declared, provide the requisite political backing for his race. The chief reason put forth for his eligi bility, However, is the large vote which ho polled when running with Gov. Smith. P. TO PASS WELFARE REFORMS Will Not Wait for Gov. Smith to Suggest De- feated Measures. The strengthening of tho Republican majority in the State Legislature by the elections should be regarded In particu lar as the rejection by- the voters of Gov. Smith's welfare bills, according to the Republican State committee. Tha committee does not contend, however. that the measures should not be caro- - fully considered at tha coming session. It Interprets their rejection largely aa an Indication that tha voters did not understand the measures proposed In haste and urged with vehemence. In the larger aspect the returns should be read aa tho commission of a fresh mandate to the Republican party for the porlod of reconstruction, the commit tee believes. In Its weekly summary of the political situation the committee halls the elections aa the favorable be ginning of the 1920 national campaign. Republican leaders eald yesterday that It was probable the strengthened ma- - orlty In the State Legislature would prepare Its own welfare bills this ses sion, without watting for Gov. Smith to resubmit his measures for health In- surance, minimum wage and other The State committee pointed, yesterday to the law against night work by women on .railways which threw out ot employment more man a thousand women profitably and suitably engaged in work In the Manhattan and Brook lyn rapid transit lines as a One example of 111 devised measures adopted under the pressure of a misguided spirit of reform.

The examination of the flies has re- vealed a nation wide plot to Increase the price of clothing, and thus the wagea of the workers, by destruction of material, burglary and even the poisoning of wit- nesses who were to famish Incriminating evidence against the union. \I am Investigating a report from a reliable source that the Chicago office of the union ordera that the n girl in Cincinnati, Into whose eyes red pepper waa thrown by a woman slugger of the union, be poisoned before she ta sufficiently recovered to testify.\ One Chicago manufacturer after the union closed his place of business waa forced by tho union board to pay (Tflne of $1,000 In addition to granting increased wages before he was permitted to resume business. He was compelled to pay $3 additional to the workers for each coat turned out of the factory. This caused htm on unnecessary expenditure of $2,000 a week. They also demanded and obtained from many employers In various cities t per cent or tneu net earnings. This 6 per cent went to tho union to be used, as they said, in case of unemployment In other words, they were 'prepared to fight the employers with the employer money In caao of strikes. Clothing Cost Explained. Fred Levy, president of the national association of retail clothiers, to-d- said the causa for the high cost of men's clothing waa the high pay to the workers arid reduced working hours.

REDCROSSTOPDSH ITS FIRST AID PLANS Gen. Dyer Gives Strong: Beason for New Yorkers to Join on Third Boll Call. The prediction that tho Red Cross will tako the lead In all futuro accident prevention work was made yesterday, by Major-Ge- John' F. O'ltyan' and Brig.-Ge- a George R. Dyer of the Metro- politan Committee of tho third roll call. The Red Cross should be preeminent in a popular educational campaign to pre- vent avoidable accidents through lta ex- tensive membership, declared Gen. Dyer. \A few yeara ago,\ he said, \it was a common occurrence for- men to die of Injuries In factories, mines and other Industrial plants bocauso ot a lack ot first aid treatment at tho time when the accident occurred. Tho Red Cross plans to spread tha gospel of first aid by means of meetings in factories, workrooms and other Industrial centres. 'In time of peace accidents have cost 100,000 lives annually,- - and those In jured In accidents, oma of them crip pled for Ufa, have exceeded tne dend by tens of thousands. Five time aa many persons aa are killed are In jured to so great an extent that they can no lunger earn their living with out reeducation. \We are going after tho Inexcusable cases, aald Gen. Dyer. I am pcyutive that If New Yorkers knew how compre- hensive In this respect are the plans of the Red Cross they would gladly be come members. Their Interest and co operation means the generation- - of a spirit of carefulness in our own com- munity that will havp a telling effect In the saving of life and property.\ CLEEK FAILS IN HUNGARY.

Dr. John JCelmnn of Edin- burgh, Scotland, assumed yesterday tho pastorate of the Fifth Xvcnuo Prcsby-loKa- n Churrch na the successor to the Rev. Dr. John Henry Jowctt nnd was welcomed by a large audience. Ills first words were of the necessity of continu- ing tho friendly relations of tho United States and Great Britain. Dr. Kelman comes of the school of churchmen led by Sir Gcorgo Adam Smith, a militant Scotch Presbyterian. Air.urlca had an opportunity to see and hear Sir Gcorgo while he was on a visit In tho Interest of the British Foreign nnini. Dr. Kelmnn In hla enrly da a was associated with Sir Gcorgo, who is the principal of Aberdeen University, at that Institution, and, It Is aald, owes much of his conception of religion to the eminent Biblical critic. In personal appearance Dr. Koiman ib tall, with a suggestion or tne ascetic His sneoch and .bearing seem to Indi cate fresh vigor nnd great strength. Hla previous relations with America were aa a lecturer at Yale University on \War and Preaching,\ which ach' ved note for their forcefulness and ener ' of concep- tion. Dr. Kelmans introductory sermon was hrlsf. On nasalnc from refcrenco to In ternational relations to the religious sub let this manner altered also, so mat lie waa less the lecturer and more tho preacher. \It Is not In death, Judgment and sin that wo seo the faco of God,\ ho said, \but In lovo and life Every Hchoolboy knows y that conversions from sin come suddenly. That Is still In the world, thank God. A sudden crash cornea In a man's soul and he sees tho light Sometimes this Is governed by outward Influences, and sometimes by Inward rev- olution. In tho essence of this a man's whole will Is broken. What he had been most prou-- of heretofore becomes the shamo of his life. . \Christ convinced the world of sin in his life on earth not by tirades against It but by a holy life. Men who realize their sins find that those sins havo been spoiling their best ondeavor. A largo part of tho conversation of people of to-d- Is of other people's sins. No one con be purged of sin without pain but that pain Is the blessod, purifying fire of God's lovo. God saves sinners In order that they may save others. He who saved must be a savior.\ Dr. Kelman's Introductory remarks dealt with some experiences of the war which had come to him as a chaplain during the first months of tho war. He was later along tho English, French and Italian fronts. He explained that bound up with his acceptance of the pastorate lo a desire to strengthen tho amity be- tween the two great English speaking nations. 'It Is in tho spirit of service that I have accepted this call,\ ho said. \Great Britain nnd America, aftor long estrangement, were united on the field of battle, but y their relationship for the days to come is hanging In the balance. \I come as a Britisher who lovos America, and Britain also. I lend my self to America ns a hostage of lovo. I come more In that seneo than as a theologian.\ Dr. Kelman was formerly pastor of St' George's United Kreo ChUrch of Edinburgh. His decision to take tho pulpit as Dr. Jowett's successor has been the subject of favorable comment from England, and his welcome here was assured. Ho Is tha son of the Rev. John Kelman of Lclth, Scotland. CONTRIBUTES TO THE BONUS TO BE ISSDE AT MEETING Bitter Fight Expected on Pro- posal to Bccommond Ac- tion to Congress. BpecM DetpatcX to Tna Sex, Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 9.- - With Stato delegations from all but a half dozen States on the ground and belated delegations, Including tho New Tork delegation, duo to nrrlve morning, the stage Is act for opening the first national convention of tho American Legion, largest organization of veterans of tho great war. Conceived by fighting men during tin war to promoto spirit of comradeship in tho ranks during tho conflict and to serve even n greater purpose In peaco time by working- - for 100 per cent. Ame- ricanism, the American Legion y will launch lta first nationwide move- ment to bring about tho kind of demos- - racy advocated by Washington and Lin. coin. Tho convention opens morn- ing. There will be no convention n in the afternoon, the halt day belnr dovoted to commltteo sessions. All of tho Important questions concerning beneficial legislation, political restrh- - tlons for legion members, prouosefl auxiliary organizations, war risk Insur- ance, propaganda, and national dues, Including the policy to bo adopted with reference to tho American Legion weekly military policy, eligibility, constitution, organ ization, &c, will be first thrashed out by convention committees, which will re- port to the convention Jn an advisory capacity. The committee on constitution and or- ganization will recommend that the national executive committee of the legion consist of the State chairman and one other member from each Btate, with a view to giving all sections of the country representation on the national governing board. Tuesday afternoon, Armistice Day, the convention will tako a half holiday to participate In Minneapolis Armistice Dny parade and celebration. Lines aro tightening for two real tat ties In the legion convention. Proposals to recommend to Congres-th- granting of a cash bonus to former service men now loom up as the basis for a spectacular tight There is another fight looming, how over, which Is destined, according to those who are close observers to furnish perhaps even greater verbal pyrotech- nics. That la the one which will bj staged on tho question of the prosent courts-marti- law. This one likely will lino up many of tho men \ho served as higher officers against the private? \non-com- s' and Junior ofHrers. In the case of tho soldiers' bonus H will bo tho East versus the West, so far as the general lines aro concerned. There nre those who Insist however, that It will be another case of certain officers against the privates. The New York Stata convention held at Rochester, N. Y., furnUhes an exam- ple of what might bo expected on th soldiers' bonus Issue. At that conven tlon a bitter fight, lasting several hours, resulted In a recommendation for a cash bonus of not less than $15 per month for each month In tho service. The propo- sition was ' fought by men from lower New York, Including New York city. These men did not want tho convention to touch the bonus question. The men, mostly former privates, wanted the bonus, however, and made the fight They won their point The Now York delegation, having t\ voting delegates and more than 60 no- nvoting delegates, Is not pledged to light for a cash bonus, however.' A motion In tho State convention to so Instruct thn dolegates to tho national convention was lost. Tho delegation comes unlnstruetod. ? w i Every TUESDAY I ! HON.
