The Chinese say the forts on Golden

SOCIALISTS ELATED OVER GAINS.
Big Increase in Cook County Vote
Causes Wild Cheering.

Chicago Nov. 9.-Socialists in Chi
cago hailed the balloting yesterday as
a sweeping victory for their ticket.
At both the national and state head
quarters last night bowling hundreds
cheered the pieces of information that
were read practically all Of which
showed increases in the socialist vote.
The most interest was shown at
Brands hall, Clark and Erie streets,
where the headquarters of the state
and county organizations Of the party
were made and where close to a thou
sand persons gathered, more than
hundred Of them being women. They
cheered from o'clock until close to
midnight, when 1t became positively
known that the socialist increase had
been great.
State and county officers Of the party
presided over this meeting, and with
them were gathered perhaps hundred
other leaders on the platform, many OF
whom We're called on for speeches. Re-
turns from the stock yards district ana
the twelfth and thirty-third wards
caused the greatest demonstrations
and it was with difficulty that the
crowd was quieted so that other re-
turns could be read.

the present majority Of twenty-four in
the senate will be increased to twen-

The situation warrants the statement
that the present large republican ex-
cess In that body will be maintained.
The result is considered as going far
toward insuring republican senate
for a long time in the future.
Republicans are claiming the COM

of the house by not less than eighty
votes and the tendency Of the vote in
the close districts appears to justify
this calculation. This is more than
double the present majority.

Des Moines, Nov. 9.-The prelinlin-
aries for the Polk county primary sys-
tenn provoked a great deal of wrath
at the polls yesterday in this city. The
law provides that at the time of the
bailloting at the general election the
Judges must ask of each and every
person, this question:
with what party do you wish to
affiliate?"
In some Of the precincts this was
done before the voter got his ballot
and in others it was done just as he
was about to cast his vote. In some
Of the precincts the form Of the ques-
tion was followed closely but in many
places the question assumed various
forms, and generally amounted blunt
ly to a question, Are you a democrat
or a republican, OF course the ques-
ton, no matter what form 1t took,
caused much i'll feeling. 1t could not
be asked in any form that would moi
leave the impression that the actual
effect of 1t was to disclose just how
the voter had voted.
81 voted 'er mixed" said one voter
when asked the question.
I'VE didn't ask how you voted" was
replied "How do you wish to be
recorded as voting?"
"Weli, l always vote 1T mixed, and
you can put it down that way"
This conversation neard by the writ
er was a sample of the discussion
which went on all day. lit indicates
how difficult it is for the system to be
worked out.

sustained and be continued" said
Frank 7. Herriott. who has made

Grinnell, Nov. 8. - Secretary Shaw
,rrived in GrinneM from Marshallt
and CONGRESSMAN Lacey came up FROM
,skaloosa today to consider the petit
on Of 125 dissat tisfied depositors in the.
lefunct First National bank asking foi
The removal of present Receiver
swords. They were met at the train
oy United States District Marshal
Christian and Postmaster Roberts,
yhereupon they repaired to Christians
home.
An audience was given in the bank
building by Secretary Shaw to about
forty of the depositors. Lacey was
present and also several local polhtiic-
ans. Secretary Shaw did not look
1T the petition, but he heard deposi-
tors claims orally. The sum and
substance of his reply was that he
could not remove Swords without
proof of incompetence and bad moral
character. When asked for access to
iectfons were raised Shaw promised,
however, to take up the matter a,
Iength when he returned to Washing
ton.
Interest in the session hinged on
shaw's admission Of the manner of
swords appointment. The secretary
explained that the reason he did not
appoint Lanphere was that he did not
know Lanpl1ere and thought that he
Ived outside the county but that when
he got Laceys telegram he knew Lam
phere was all right but the appoint
ment of Swords had then been made.
Lacey then declared that he had not
sent any Telegram and Shaw explain
ed that perhaps his memory had failed
him as to the details.
Then some depositor wanted TO
know If Swords was not appointed be-
cause Shaw owed him something. This
the secretary denied but when asked
as to why Swords was appointed he
explained that Swords name was on
their waiting list. that he mad been
promised q job in Judge Shiras, court,
but did not get it. and we owed MIN
the first thing that turned up. Ihe
secretary said that he did not know
Swords personally. but that when this
bank appointment cme up, knowing Of
swords claims he just naturally
thought of him'
The result of the conference was to
.e]ieye Lacey Of any suspicion of dou-
hle dealing in the matter of the ap-
continent. but to make the depositors
all the more angry. Not all of them
,inderstand the exigencies of politics.
nd they don't relish entrusting the
substance of bank wreck to such a
nan as Swords. Whether Shaw will
give them any relief or not Is not
'snopvn. Lacey is still working for
hange, for he seems to have been con-
vinced OF Swords unf1tness without the
