GRAND FORKS, N D., Dec. %
Coming politiacl events are not
casting their shadows before
them in North Dakota with
any great distinctness, and, al
though the beginning of the legislative
session is only a week distant, nobody
can speak with much certainty as to
the probable outcome Of the senatorial
contest. 1t is conceded, even by tho
opposition, that Senator Hansbrough
who is seeking a reelection, is in the
lead, and that he will lead in the leg
islative caucus, but beyond this it does
not seem safe to go at this time Ger
tain political "straws,'' unimportant
in themselves, and which in a different
sort of contest would not be regarded
as being significant, point in Hans
brougth's direction, and it is possible
that they indicate what, in the end, will
be the prevailing wind, but any definite
conclusions based upon them at present
might be misleading and land ones
guess far from the mark

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Comp roller
Eckels said this Afternoon that he
feels no apprehension over the bank
failures which have occurred Of late.
Mr.. Eckels when asked today as to
the general banking situation, said:
Those failures which have occurred
lately have little or no significance
attached to them. They were due
largely to local causes, wholly uncon-
nected with the general condition of
the banks throughout the country at
large. The two failures today are of
minor Importance, in each case the
banks capital being only $4,000 AS
against these few failures, based on
local causes, the general condition Of
the banks is excellent. On the whole
1t is EVIDENT that the national banks to-
day are as stable as they ever were,
and the sporadic failure of a bank here
and there through defects peculiar to
the failing bank is of small impor-
tance, wholly without significance.
am advised from Minneapolis that the
failure there has occasioned no dis
turbance beyond the institution con-
cerned."
