HE.RsT,s ELECTION EXPENSES.

Something OF sensation was caused
in New York yesterday when it was an
nounced that Wm. Il. Hearst, who was
the candidate for governor on the demo
cratic and Independence League tickets
10 the recent campaign, bad fled with
the Secretary of State at Albany state
ment showing that he had spent the sum
of s256, 97022 in his efforts to win The
election. Not since the law requiring
candidates for public Office 20 file list
of their expenses went iat0 effect a lew
wears ago has anyone seeking the favor
of the voters admitted the spending Of
ont eighth OF that sum for election pur-
poses. The sum, 10 magnitude, Is far
and away grGater than any other re-
corded in the books oi the Sia,e for that
particular purpose.
OF the amount expended MIR. Heart
reported 10 the Secretary OF state that
he had given TO john G. Folansbee,
the treasurer OF the Independence Lea
que. $l9S. $40. 20, and to VIM. j. Con
ners, chairman of the democratic State
committee, $57, 900 The balance OF
$500 be spent for travelling expenses.
A. large as this sum may appear to be
for one nan 10 spend Oh au attempt 10
gain go Office which pays a salary OF
$40, 900 a year, for Two years, the total,
as reported to the Secretary OF State,
does not begin to compare with the
actual amount that Mr.. Hearst spent in
his fight to be governor of New York.
In the first place the total does not, in
any way, include the preliminary fight
he made to get the nomination aud the
law does not require that such expendi-
lures should be included.
The statement does not include the
enormous cost of distributing, free OF
charge, copies of Dir. Hearst's newspa-
pers, Of which millions of copies were
given away during the campaign.
The official figures of the number OF
votes cast for Mr., Hearst baye not yet
been tabulated, and the cost per vote to
him cannot yet be estimated with any
degree OF accuracy; but from what is
kuown in q general way his actual cam
paign expenses will equal at least 30
cents for every vote he received.
On the other hand, Charles +.
Hughes, the successful candidate for
governor, who ran on the straight re
publican ticket, spent, according to his
report, only $6lS. So, which would equal
something like eight cents for every 100
votes cast for him.
Mr.. Hearst was asked yesterday. "To
what do you attribute your defeat|
"To deiections in the democratic
party. If had not bad McCsrreu to
tight in Brooklyn, aud Mcclellan in New
York, | would have wOn," he replied.
"Then it was not the moneyed inter-
ests that defeated you?"
ut was the moneyed interests work
ing through those elements in the demo
cratic party"
"Do you think Secretary Rootsspeech
contributed to the result"
"Not at all. The thing was so obvi-
ously unjust that its only effect was to
increase, perhaps, the enthusiasm of
some of my followers. feel sure it did
not cost me q vote and yet, it did not
turn any republican vote to me-"

THE DINING-ROOM

is used oftener than almost any other loom in
the house. That is why il should be made
the most comfortable spot, and be p'eesingly
arranged.
Without cut glass and silyerware a dining
room makes little impression and is hardly
home like. A few pieces tastily arranged
will make better effect than many OF them
placed indiscrimiuately.
A silver fern dish puts finish TO the table
and lvens up the room. A silver set is need
ed 10 decorate the sideboard. A few cut glass
pieces SO arranged as 10 contrast with the tea
set viii make the sideboard as 1t should be.
The cut glass required are decanterss berry
bowls and fruit dishes. The only other
silver piece that should be in evidence is the
candelabra.
Ifyou want your dining room to be just so
have the bread trays and other trays OF silver.
Even the crumb tray and scraper should be
silver plated.
The Steel knives should have silyer-plated
handles to match the silyer-piattd spoons,
knives and forks.
If You are not satisfi d unless your dining
room is properly fitted, you are undoubtedly
particular about your own person. lt ls Just
as we'll that YOU are. A little attention TO
your ownself begets attention from others.
Wear diamond ring or two, locket, watch
and chain. As the chain is more in evidence
than the watch or the locket, you may as
well wear the best there is--the guaranteed
TX Gold Chain.
Let rs tit out the dining-room as well ss
yourself. Prices very reasonable.

Alabama Democrats
Adopt Democratic Platform

The democracy of Alabama is next
on the roll in the adoption Of a
straight-out democratic platform and
declaration OF democratic principles.
The convention which met at Mont.
gomery Monday declared
That we endorse all essential prin.
ciples and policies advocated by de-
mocracy's great leader, William Jen-
nings Bryan, especially his arraign-
ment OF trusts, private monopolies and
the abuses OF public service corpora
tons. We proclaim him the greatest
democrat of our time and believe in
his overwhelming election as rresi-
dent of the United States. We ell
dorse him as the standard-bearer of
otr party In 1908.
In line with the policies OF our
leader, we favor the complete control
and regulation of all corporations and
the humiliation of trusts by national
and state governments, acting within
their respective spheres, and demand
the absolute enforcement Of railroad
