They Are Democrats.

Washington Post.
 There are some things in regard to ous, but no time has ever been regard ed as too early to nominate a~Presi- dential ticket. and lest some one should forestall us we are prepared to take the field with a winner.
 If there is any one point more than another, concerning the late elections, in regard to which newspaper comment has agreed. 1t Is to the effect that they evinced unprecedented independenc and disregard of party lines among the voters everywhere, and an aroused and determined sentiment against corrupt boss rule. The two men in the country most influential in stirring this up and carrying 1t forward to 2 successful ,. and Folk, of Missouri. How. would 1t look on ticket; For President, Will liam Travers Jerome of New York; Tor Vice President. Joseph W. Folk, of Mis- combination we are after, and 1t would be a strong one either way. Most or the issues now to the fore will be out of the way. or in process of settlement and maintain honest government Is cer- tain to persist and increase. No nomi- nees could more thoroughly .embody this purpose. or more successfuiIv carry 1t out, than the ones we have named and we suggest them. not as repre- senting any party, but as two strong. clean, able. and energetic men, who would stand for the whole common peo- pie and carry the administration or their offices to higher level than they have ever reached.
 We are no nominating convention, but Folk and Jerome have all the requisites of winners-abillty and availability. ht- and NSyb tRey aSd somtb anS we advise all aspirants to keep an eye on them, single and double.

aLet's Go Hear Mir. Jordan ;

Let us all turn out and give Harvie Jordan. of Georgia, who speaks at the court house Thursday night a great audience" said Montgomery busi- ness man.
 T have no direct interest in cotton" he continued but all of us in Montgom- cry are more or less dependent on the stapleSan its allied industries and we ought to give our moral support to the gallant fight the farmers have made and are making for fair price for their product.
 "Mr. Jordan is the executive head of the great organization of cotton grow CTS. the only cotton organization that has ever been a complete success. understand he Is an entertaining speaker and have no doubt that the audience, apart from showing its patriotic support of the movement, will be rewarded by hearing an able ad- dress.

Secretary Taft is back from Panama and openly gloats over the smashing of the Cox machine. It is a sign of a better era in politics when such a staunch Republican as the round Sec retary gloats over the downfall of a boss of his own party.

There is to be some more political storm clouds In Ohio The knives of Foraker and others are out for secre- tary Taft and 1t will have to be fought out in the next campaign. A corre- spondent of The Columbus Leader writ ing from Cleveland says party leaders in the State declare that Secretary Taft's speech at Akron denouncing bossism was the principal cause for the Republican slump, and that as he came into the State and made the issue, which has dethroned Boss Cox and made Senator Dick and Governor Her rick useless as leaders of the party or- ganization, it is his duty to assume the responsibility of leadership (becoming either candidate for Governor or Presi- dent), and give Republicans of Ohio a new deal along Rooseveltian lines" Whenever he tries 1t the fun will begin.

DEMAND EXCEEDS SUPPLY.
Not Enough Furnaces In Country to
 Furnish Iron.

Cleveland, O., Nov.r h5.--The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 In spite of the very great activity of blast furnaces in ali parts of the country, every available stack being in operation, there is strong evidence that the production is not equal to the demand, and that if present prosperity continues, there will be d decided shortage next spring.
 In some sections where the product is usually far In excess of the local demand, orders are now being placed for shipments from other centers; for example, smelters in the Youngstown district have purchased iron to be shipped a considerable distance and delivered during the first quarter of next year at $17.9o at buyers plants.
 There has been great activity in pig iron in the Chicago district, the local product selling at from $19 to $20 for No. foundry and Southern irons for s1S.15 for the same grade. Inquiries. at Chicago Include 17,000 tons of basic, 10, 900 tons of foundry and silvery irons, and many demands for smaller lots. The United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Company has placed an order for 30,00O tons with Buffalo and Virginia furnaces.
 Lake tshipyards are inquiring for from 10000 to 25,000 tons of plates and are understood to be figuring on twelve large lake freighters. The American Shipbuilding Company already has contracts on hand for lake vessels | which will keep it busy up to June, 1 and if contracts are taken for the ves- sells now under consideration the yards | Will be kept employed up to the close | of navigation next year.
 Rail sales include 25,000 tons each | to the Union Pacific and Boston and Maine; 10000 tons to the Pacific and Idaho Northern: 5000 tons for the Yosemite Valley; 5000 tons for troll ley lines and many small lots ranging from 1000 to 1000 tons, These sales following the tremendous orders al- ready placed are noteworthy.
 Heavy Output in Pennsylvanla.
 Reading, Pa. Nov. l5.--Reports com piled here today from the pig iron pro- ducing regions of Eastern Pennsyi- vania show that more anthracite blast furnaces are in operation than at any time in the history Of the industry Within a radius of thirty-five miles of this city every stack capable of being operated Is in full blast. In the dis trict named the furnaces produce more than 20.000 tons of pig iron every week. and reports received indicate that this condition of affairs will be kept up all winter.
