WHAT NAMES VOTE MEANS.

The Indianapolis News thinks
that because Maine and Vermont
have given republican majorities
greater than were given IN 1892,
there is evidence of republican
success at the presidential election
Notwithstanding the fact that the
vote in those states show a demo
cratic gain over the vote of 1896 OF
IS per cent and republican loss of
10 per cent The News does not
take into consideration an important
fact and that is this:
When Maine and Vermont gave
small republican majorities, the
issues were different and in conse-
Quence the democrats never made
any pretenses of carrying the west
ern states, Then Nebraska wa.
good for 10000 and Kansas as much
as 10000 republican majority. Their
if Maine only gave 5000 major
ity for the republican ticket, Their,
were strong indications of demo
cratic success in the national contest
But upon the new issue that came
to the front in 1906, $4,000 repub
lican majority in Maine was only
the forerunner of meager republi
can majority at the November cleo
ton in 90. A dropping from IS,
900 to $4,000 majority in Main'
this year means that the republican
are losing and they are losing to,
great per cent to win in the ma
tional election, with the western
states IN line for Bryan as they wer
four years ago. Today there is NJ
doubt but the following western
states will give their electoral vot
to Bryan:

Electoral Vote.

Here is total of IS eleetora
votes absolutely certain for Bryan
this year that W ere before 1896 just
as certain for the republican ticket
Hence, the vote of Maine need not
show slender republican majority
to presaee democratic success. The
only estimate that can possibly be
of importance is that arrived at by
comparing the vote as cast Monday
with the vote given at the state cleo
ton in 1896.
Besides the western states obso-
lutely certain for Bryan this year,
the following western states are
more likely to be for him than
against him:

These states were absolutely Ger
tain to go republican in 1892
and the years previous. Today
they are more certain to be carried
for Bryan than for Mckinley.
Hence, the calculations of the Indi-
annapolis News with the Maine vote
as Its "straw telling the course of

SALE OF ELECTRIC LIGHTING PLANT
New Company Buys Out the Old, hut
Date is Not Fixed.

Date is Not Fixed.
"The sale of our electric lighting plant
to the Bluff City Electric Light and Gas
company has been practically completed,
except that the date OF delivery has not
yet been determined on"
This statement was made by Manager
Nichols Of the Council Bluffs Gas and Elec-
trio company yesterday. The price paid for
the plant by the new lighting company or
the terms Of purchase, Manager Nichols
said he was not authorized to make public
at this time. The date for the transfer
Of the property is optional with the Blur
City company. but with the transfer OF the
plant all OF the things pertaining to 1t, such
as the poles. wiring, light towers and
lamps, will go with It. said Mr. Nichols.
Asked II the old company would operate
the plan for the new company until such
time as 1t got ready to do business. Mt.
Nichols said with the transfer of the
plant to the new company. our company
will relinquish all interest in 1t, as the
sale is an absolute one
In answer to question whether the old
company intended to continue on in the
gas business after the sale Of It's electric
lighting plant, Manager Nichols said that
as far as he knew at present 1t would. Re-
garding the report that the Bluff City
company intended selling its charter and
franchise to the old company and that the
latter would be reorganized and operate
under the name Of the BLUM City company.
Manager Nichols said there was absolutely
no foundation for such report.

company, when seen yesterday, corrobo-
rated Manager Nichols statement as to
the sale Of the old compsny's electric light
Ing plant to them, but beyond this stated
they had nothing to make public at this
time. Their plans, they said, were not in
such shape yet as TO permit them to make
any public statement beyond that they
would be ready to take care of their con-
tract with the city for the public lighting
when the proper time arrived.
Mr.. Greenshields volunteered the state
ment that his company would install new
machinery throughout in the plant of the
old company, but as the manufacturers
were behind with their orders he could
not venture any opinion as to how soon
that could be accomplished.

PUBLIC LIBRARY BUILDING
Board Likely to Take Advantage Of the
Statutes Provision.
SERIOUS PROBLEM OF MAINTENANCE
Charge for Rental of Present Quarters
is Equal to Nearly the Entire
Income of the Library
board.

The first steps toward securing per-
marent building for the public library have
been taken by the trustees. Members f..
A. Troutman, T. Il. Casady and w. s..
Baird Of the board Of trustees have been
appointed a special committee to devise
ways and means and to make a report at
the meeting of the board in January.
Since the recent census demonstrated that
Council BLUFFS has a population exceeding
1000 the trustees are empowered under
section 132 OF the code to levy mills for
the purpose Of securing library building
The section referred to provides that In
addition to l mill that the trustees can
levy for ordinary expenses connected with
the maintenance OF the library 1t can levy
not to exceed mills annually for the pur-
chase Of real estate and the erection Of a
building thereon for public library or for
the payment of interest or any Indebtedness
incurred for that purpose, or for the crea-
tion of sinking fund for the extinguish-
ment OF such Indebtedness.
A 3-mill levy on the present assessed
valuation of the city would realize some
thing over $4,000, which Il is estimated
would be more than ample to purchase
suitable lot on which to build a library.
Several OF the trustees are in favor OF
at first only levying from " to mills,
believing that this would be sufficient for
the purchase of lot and then, II possi-
Bile, to issue bonds In a sufficient sum to
Enuv1de for the erection of a building, and
thsn to make a levy each succeeding year
alrncient to meet the interest and create
a, sinking fund for the issue of bonds. BY
this plan II is figured that the levy could
fnr this purpose be kept down not to ex-
ceed mills each year.
The trustees are hopeful that IL a start
was made to secure a public library for the
city they might receive substantial assist
ance from some Of the wealthier citizens
and others interested in such work, which
might obviate the necessity Of making any
levy at all for the building itself after
the board had secured the real estate on
which to build.
At present the greater portion Of the
revenue derived from the levy for library
purposes is absorbed by rent paid for the
quarters in the Merriam block and little
is left for the purchase of books. Before
the census showed that Council Bluffs had
a population exceeding $4,000 the trustees
were enabled to levy mills for the main
tenance OF the library, but from this out
they will only be authorized to levy / mill
for such purposes and without a library
building they will find 1t a difficult task
to make both ends meet on revenue de-
rived from 1-mill levy

ATLANTIC. Ia. Dec. 11.-(Special.)- y
The city council has taken action on the
bond refunding proposition whereby the
city will make a material saving every
year. When the electric light plant was
built ten years ago the city was bonded
for S25,00o, with an optional payment after
ten years. These we're at per cent. A
representative Of Chicago firm called last
week and offered to buy the bonds at per
cent, enabling the city to take up the 8 per
cents. This offer was declined and the
firm then made an offer to take the s25. 900
II the city would pay a part Of the ex-
penses at 3ia per cent. The council ac-
cepted the proposition and will pay off
the ten-year bonds when they come due,
February I. There will be a saving on the
frst year Of over 500 and after that OF
1915 per year. The electric light plant has
been source Of good revenue to the city.
