that the majority of candidates have

city town or community wlthis a radi-
us of many miles. And as the campaign
boom along It attracts more and more
vounz women who hasten to align
themselves among the contestants for
honors and prizes.
As in all things "the start's the
. thing" so candidates are beginning to
get busy among their friends and ac-
quaint them with the fact that their
support Is forthcoming too from every
source for It Is apparent that the read-
erg of The Tulsa Dally World as well

furtherance of their ambitions. Sev-
eral candidates for instance have pro
vided themselves- with printed cards

- of what's wanted and they are quite
effective!
Other candidates aro at liberty to
employ similar or other methods of
bringing their candidacy to the atten-
tion of nil acquaintances. They aro
effective Inasmuch as they perhaps
reach many whom a candidate would

WASHINGTON Dec. 6. An ad-
vanco payment on munitions and
other contracts for the - government
was . asked' today -by Charles M.
Schwab and Kugene Grace of the
Hethlehem Steel company who con
ferred with Secretaries Baker and
Cunluls and told them the contracts
could not be expedited without finan-
cial aid as they ware unable to obtain
.TtH-nitnte funds from the bank. The
request was taken under considera-
tion. Knormous Increases in the size of
Its plants have been undertaken by
the company to handle war contracts.
The navy s destroyer program is not
Involved. These and all other cqn-
tract made on cost plus 10 per cent

authority to adanco up to SO per

The contracts with which the Beth-
lehem Steel people are having trouble
are those awarded on a fixed price.
Some of them antedwte the outbreak
of tbe war. They include a vast
amount of ordnance for both the
army and navy and the request of the
company for advance payments has
been referred to tho ordnunre bureau
of the navy department und an ord-
nance board in tho war department
for consideration.
Government officials expect to
make their answer without delay and
iniiolr powers are inadequate and the
situation disclosed by the company
threaten to delay ordnance produc-
tion seriously congress may be asked
to amend tho act. New destroyer
plants of the Bethlehem and other
concerns are being erected with gov-
cyimtmt aid and the attitude of the
numlnlMtration has been that similar
alii must be provided wherever neces-
sary to hasten the output of war ma-

Destruction
HALIFAX Dec. 7. With
the toll of dead steadily
mounting it was believed early
this morning that more than
two thousand persons perished
in the explosion and fire which
followed a collision yesterday
morning in Halifax harbor be-
tween a munition-laden French
ship and another vessel loaded
with supplies for the Belgian
relief commission.
The disaster which has
plunged the dominion into
mourning probably will rank
as the most fearful that ever
occurred on the American con-
tinent. Residents of Halifax
and thousands of volunteer re-
lief workers " who have . come ' "
Into the city have been almost
dazed at the extent of the
horror."
Temporary morgues have been -tabl
lulled In many buildings to which
a steady procession of -vehicles of all
kinds have been carrlng for hours
the bodies of men women and chil-
dren. Most of them were so charred
that they were unrecognizable.
Thousands of persons seeking trace
of relatives an frlesds have passed by
the long rows attempting In the flick-
ering light of lamps and lanterns to
identify the ones they sought.
Virtually every building in the city
which could be- converted Into a hos-
pital U filled with woundod many of
them so desperately Injured that there
Is ro hope of their recovery. Scores
already have died in these temporary
hospital.
An ever-increasing number If being
taken from the devastated Richmond
district to the relief Mtatlon. An army
of rescue workers is searching among
the ruins for lodles and for those who
have survived amidst the wreckage
left .by the explosion and fire. ' - " '

The city was In darkness tonight
except for the flames from the flre
still burning in the wrecked buildings'
In the north end. The electric light
and gas plantn have been virtually de-
stroyed and tho only lights available
are lamps. They furnished the Illumi-
nation by means of which surgeons
und doctors toiled thruout the night
caring for the Injured.
'Soldiers sailors und police patrolled
the streets tonight and upon them fell
the major portion of the bunion of
