only had $500 majority over all. The con-
ditions this time might have been expected
to have made more difference than they

affected their vote heavily. Then the sea-
son Is bad one to got out the votes in the
rural districts. The farmers were busy
putting in their corn, and attending 10
other spring work. An election at an un-

they have one now, and they work the lead

that there was appropriated forthe coming

Of that department being deemed
sufficient to meet the expenditures OF the
coming year. During the eleven years
ending with the present fiscal year, Con.
gress has voted about $55, ,000, 900 to meet
deficiencies in the postal service. There
was no appropriation made for the
coming year for rivers and har-

appropriated for the current year for
this purpose, necessary work on rivers and
harbors Is not likely 10 be seriously inter.
