DIDN'T ADVERTISE BALLOTS
Local Job Printing: Firms Have a GrIev'
ance Against City Clerk
- vdiard

City Clerk Lydiard and several big
printing firms are at swords points be-
cause that official let the contract for
printing city election ballots recently to
the firm Of Harrison & Smith, without
giving competitors a chance to bid. They
call attention to a city ordinance COM
polling the city clerk to advertise for all
bids on job printing amounting to over
$1O0.
Mr.. LYdiard admits that ..,he is ordi-
narily governed by, this; ordinance, but
declares that he was not required to fol-
low it in the case complained of because
the general election law makes the city
clerk responsible for the printing Of the
election ballots, and does not specify ad-
vertising for bids. Mr.. Lydiard says there
is combine among the printers and de-
clares that he does not propose to be
dictated to by any Of them.
The primary law requires the county
auditor to advertise for bids for county
printing.

The Congressional Contest.

The campaign In the state IS now fairly
on. The republicans have begun their
!, canvass In this county all along the line,
and the democrats are to start theirs with
"a speech by former Governor Lind next
d Monday night. The time is at hand
!. when voters who have been enjoying the.
ssluxury of indecision must make up their
minds and get into harness for one or
!. the other Of the parties.
;. The most important local contest Is that
y between Congressman Loren Fletcher and
9 former Governor John Lind for the honor
of representing this county in congress-
- The democrats have made up their minds
: that thy need Mr.. Lind in congress, and
the greatest efforts will undoubtedly be
!, put forth to elect him. 1t Is obvious that
: Mr.. Lind can not be elected without re-
? publican votes.
:: Since 1t Is republicans that will elect
r. him, II he be elected. it is competent to
ask why any republican. should vote for
: him.
~ We know Of no reason.
Respect for Mr. Lind's ability might be
y 4 sufficient argument for an Independent
= to use, but republican can not invoke it.
Is A vote for Mr.. Lind is vote for the
ii democracy That means a vote Of oppo-
> sition to President Roosevelt, his Philip
: pine policy and the whole expansion
.. policy. a vote Of opposition to the sound
ii money reforms a republican administra-
- ton has given US and for opposition to
? such further financial reforms as repub-
Ha lican policy may favor. A vote for Mr..
- Lind is also a. vote to turn tariff regula-
2 ton over to the democracy, and that
Is means regulation, with an ak.
T. Mr.. Fletcher is a tried and true repub-
~ lican. He belongs to what will un-
doubtedly be the dominant party in the
q next congress. as it is in this. His long
7 service has given him valuable expert
a. ence and useful acquaintance. He
!, stands for all that republicanism stands
E for and in opposition to those things for
: which democracy and Mr. Lind stand. A
X, vote for him Is a vote for continuation In
= power Of the republican party, which has
so we'll served the people since 1896.
s. Viewed in the light Of state politics a
!, vote for Mr.. Fletcher is a vote to get rid
II of Mr.. Lind as a political factor Of i'm
portance. Considering the political I'M
&. certainty and unrest he has given the
party for the last six years. there is in
that fact alone abundant reason why re-
81 publicans should not assist in sending him
az to congress. If he Is beaten by Mr.
~ Fletcher in this campaign he will nc
longer be political terror"

THE cosT OF OCEAN SPEEDING.

Hs%a 20 LONDON. Ielegraph.
Much has been said Of late regarding the
speed Of the German Atlantic greyhounds;
not enough, perhaps, has been said re-
garding the cost Of this speed. The latest
creation of the North German Lloyd. the
Kaiser Wilhelm H., is designed to do
"a knots an hour at an expenditure Of
40, 900 Indicated horse power. Our White
eStar liner Cedric, the largest ship in the
world, will go II knots with $4,000 horse
power But. says the Shipping World, the
Kaiser Wilhelm will burn $50 tons OF coal
per day. which is 100 per cent more than
the Cedric, and she will need 256 more
hands to work her. Curtously enough, OF

BELIEVED TO BE CHAMBERS
Disease with Which Or. Orienne McDan.
.ieI Is Suffering at Her Home

DR.. Orienne Mcdaniel, assistant bac-
teriologist of the state board of health, is
seriously i'll at her home in the Holland
flats, from a disease supposed to be
CHAMBERS. DR.. Mcdaniel is thought to
have contracted the disease while examin-
ing virus taken from the bodies Of two
young men, Robert and William Schramn,
who died recently of CHAMBERS at Frazee,
MINI. She was inocculated through an
abrasion on her hand. The wound was
promptly cauterized and localized, and in
six weeks time she was supposed to have
recovered, but she has since suffered a
relapse.
AS a rule. CHAMBERS is said to be fatal
with human beings in from ten to fifteen
days.: This leads the physicians to doubt
now if the present attack is due to the
previous infection. She will probably re-
cover. -. ..--..-..

THE: VALUE OF A STRUGGLE
Success for Octoher- ST..

1t is a curious fact in the history Of ma :
tons that only those which have had to
struggle the hardest for an existence have
been highly success. AS a rule the same
thing is true of men. One would think that
it would be a great relief to have the
bread and-butter problem solved by ones
ancestors SO that he might devote all his
energies and time to the development of
the mental and spiritual faculties. But
this is contrary to the verdict Of history
and the daily experience Of the world.
The strugglers, those born to a heritage
of poverty and toll, and not those reared
In the lap Of fortune, have, with a few ex-
ceptions, been the leaders of civilization,
the giants of the race. 49,. -

BY POPULAR VOTE
A Commercial Club Majority Favor!
Changing the Method Of choos-
Ina President,

The Commercial Club last evening
adopted an amendment to the constitution
and by laws, removing the power to elect
president from the board of directors
and vesting that authority with the club
as q body. This action is merely tenta-
tive, owing TO the strong : opposition
aroused last evening. Members will be
given. another opportunity tozra tify or re-
pudiate this action at meeting to be
held two weeks from last night.
The opponents of the amendment say
they feel their interests in the club are in
safe hands when twenty members Of the
board. of directors are empowered to elect
a proper man for president. Another ar
gument is that, out Of 900 members, 1t will
be impossible to secure two thirds vote
-of 600, as provided by the amendment.
