The LATEST ELECTION RETURNS.
Practically States What Minnesota Counties Did for
Running

Scanlon 5,765 for Governor in 1902.
We give below, as fully as possible
now, the vote received by ]. F. Hell
berg, candidate for Lieut.. Governor;
H. A. Rygh, Secretary of State and D.
U. Weld, State Treasurer. The vote
given these candidates in Norman,
Meeker and Cottonwood counties re-
spectively shows that they are not
without honor at home. While their
totals considerably exceed the vote
cast for Swallow and Dorsett, we do
not look upon them as the expression
of any great Prohibition enthusiasm.
To give ones ballot for the Prohibition
candidate for the lesser Offices is a
cheap way of settling with ones con-
science-a futile attempt to stand in
with the voting enemies of the saloon
without parting company politically
with the saloon perpetuationists.

The following figures indicate the
practically official vote for Swallow
and Carroll in the states named and
also the vote given Woolley and Met
calf four years ago. They foot up
217, ,002, which is Z ,533 more than Wool
ley's total vote. Assuming that the
states whose vote is not given below
gave Swallow the same vote as they
gave Woolley, Swallow received 257,-
1913. Several of these states exceeded
Woolley's vote, while some of them
fell below it. The total will probably
not be far from these figures. It may
even pass the Bidwen vote of 1888,
before the split" but this is not
probable

The Man and the Match.

"Show me two men with unlighted
cigarettes, and if watched them for
minute 1 can tell you correctly wheth-
err the one who has the match is from
Philadelphia, Boston or New York"
The speaker was a person of some
observation. and his friend naturally
asked:
'How can you tell?'
"In this way" said the observant
man. IF the man is a Philadelphia
he will strike the match, hold it for
his friend to get a light, then take a
light himself and throw the match
away. If he is a BOstonian he will
light his own cigarette first, then hold
the match for his friend and after that
throw it away. If he is a New Yorker,
however, he will strike the match,
light his own cigarette and throw the
match away."-Philadelph Press.

TROLLEY talk has again been re-
vived in this vicinity and the outlook
is promising that within years
time the citizens of Smyrna and Clay
ton will be enjoying the privileges so
long wished fer. The Peninsula
Railway Company will extend their
line down the State from Wilmington
and the Odessa and Middletown
branch will be connected with Smyrna
and Clayton. Work has already be-
gun and it is to be hoped that nothing
will interfere with the progress. The
Smyrna Town Council should make
them liberal concessions and without
any dlckering give them the right of
way down the center of Main and
Commerce streets. Toe much dicker-
ing years ago, resulted in the Della
ware Railroad being taken a mile
away from Smyrna and the generations
that have followed have been made to
suffer thereby. Smyrna should be up
to-date and enterprising. The people
will soon get used to trolley cars
running through our streets. AS a
trade stimulator, it may be boon to
Smyrna and help build up our com
mercial interests mora than any other
agency. Let Smyrna wake up and
encourage everything that will help
the progress of the town. The Coun-
Gil and citizens should come to the
aid of the Prettyman Brothers and
offer them free light and water and
every encouragement to rebuild and
increase their nlapt other in
dustries should be induced to locate
here. Let us have the trolley and all
the manufacturing industries possible.
1t is Smyrna's only hope for growth
and prosperity.

by one section of the Red Cross. Not realizing
the strained relations that existed between the
factions perhaps not even knowing then there
were two factions-the secretary had written
