FOLKS APPOINTMENTS HERE.
He Will Name New Election and Pc.
lice Boards and a Coal Oil Inspector.

hAINOAo VI L. - he greatest inter
est for politicians centers in the ap.
pointments that Mr.. Folk must make
here. He will appoint a new board OF
election commissioners and two police
commissioners. The police commits
sioners must be confirmed by the SEN
ate. Mr.. Folk will also appoint a coal
oil inspector.
The first noticeable fact about the
election is that thousands of Demo-
Gratis must have stayed at home while
Republicans did not. 1t is estimated
that the Democrats lost % per cent
and the Republicans gained per cent
in the state, That may be true, for
when a county chairman wires figures
he shows a heavy falling off in the
Democratic vote, sometimes a slight
reduction in the Republican vote, but
often an increase. Take Jackson
county's neighbor county, Cass. Where
Bry ans vote was 1850 and McKinley's
2,162, Parker's vote is reported 2,42O,
Roosevelt's 2,049. Folks vote ran up
to 2,7OS, while Walbridge's fell down
to 1929. Lafayette, usually 1900 DEM
ocratic, reports Folk 1S9 plurality,
Cook n and Parker &C. Linn gave
Roosevelt 435 and Walbridge Ill.
Bryan had carried Linn county four
years ago. The safe old Democratic
county of Macon gave Roosevelt $3.50,
Parker 1888, Walbridge 1851, Folk g.
$50. Moniteau county's pluralities are
good samples: Parker 8, Folk So,
Rubey %, Cook IA, Allen %, Oglesby
SO, Timmonds 10, Woodson 10, Cow
gill 90. The Republican state ticket,
except Walbridge, runs close behind
Roosevelt, although Oglesby leads the
rest.
Joe" Mccoy, at Republican head.
quarters, has returns from 1000 pre-
cincts sent by the judges and clerks.
They show that in the country pre-
cincts the Republican state ticket, ex-
cept Walbridge, nearly always ran
along with Roosevelt, with here and
there a vote in a precinct for Oglesby
taken out of the Republican ticket
and occasionally a Democratic vote
against Cook or Allen. Leaving out
the cities and large towns, Hadley
is probably less than 1000 votes be-
hind Roosevelt. In the towns as we'll
as cities there was an occasional DEM
ocratic ballot for Roosevelt electors
written in, but practically none in the
country. This is the basis of the Re-
publican conclusion that If Roosevelt
has carried the state by $4,000 or
more, Folk is the only Democrat on
the state ticket elected.
I'VE will come to the cities with an
even break on the state ticket except
Walbridge and probably 5000 to 5000
lead for Roosevelt" Joseph Mccoy,
secretary of the Republican state
committee, said. "Analyze your city
vote and you have the result. Elk.
cept as to Roosevelt and Folk, the
three large cities controlled this cleo
tion. Their majorities are the MAORI
ties Of the successful candidates"
Mccoy has probably as correct in
formation as any one in the state.

And threatens suicide.

He'll make me be his bride.
He'll come some night when I'm asleep
And bear me far away

THE UNITED STATES WILL sooN
KNOCK AT THE DOORS OF
CANADA FOR WHEAT.
A Crop OF 100000 Bushels Of Wheat
Will Be the Record Of 1904.

viii Be the Record Of 1904.
The results OF the threshing In
Western Canada are not yet complet-
ed, but from information at hand. it Is
safe to say that the average per acre
will be reasonably high. and a fair
estimate will place the total yield OF
wheat at 60,000000 bushels. At pres
ent prices this will add to the wealth
OF the farmers nearly S60,000,OOo.
Then think of the immense yield OF
oats and barley, and the large herds
of cattle, for all OF which good prices
will be paid.
The following official telegram was
sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton, Min
lister of the Interior, to Lord Strath-
coma, High Commissioner for Can
ada:
"Am now able to state definitely
that under conditions of unusual diff
Guilty in Northwest a fair average crop
OF wheat of good quality has been
reaped and is now secure from sub
stantial damage. The reports OF in
Jury by frost and rust were grossly
exaggerated. The wheat of Manitoba
and Northwest Territories will aggre-
gate from fifty.hve to sixty million
bushels. The quality is good and the
price is ranging around one dollar
per bushel."
Frank II. Spearman, in the Satur-
day Evening Post. says:
when our first transcontinental
railroad was built, learned men at
tempted by isotherman demonstration
to prove that wheat could not profit
ably be grown north of where the line
was projected; but the real granary
Of the world lies Up to 500 miles north
OF the Canadian Pacific railroad, and
the day is not definitely distant when
the United States will knock at the
doors of Canada for its bread. Rail
road men see such a day; it may be
hoped that statesmen also will see 1t,
and arrange their reciprocities while
they may do so gracefully. Americans
already have swarmed into that far
country and to a degree have taken
the american wheat field with them.
