REPUBLICANS LOST BUT one
Thomas Fullerton, Candidate for Sen.
ator, Defeated by the Cutting
of Republican Ticket.

The election of Tuesday was filled
with surprises occaSioned by the
great number Of scratch tickets that
were voted not only in the city but
all over the county. AS a result Of
this cutting OF the ticket Thomas
Fullerton, the nominee for the senate
was defeated by James Erion, who
was running on the independent
democratic ticket, the latter's ma
lority being 1874. The vote in the
country and in the town of Mt. Ver-
noon accomplished Mr.. %Fullerton's
defeat, carrying the city by 1854 votes,
but Mt. Vernon went against him
by 145 TO Ia. Aside from the person.

FULLERTON, the MISUNDERSTANDING
Gratis attempted the defeat of T. j.
Spangler for states attorney, but
with all the trading that was done.
and all the sacrifices that the indie
pendents made on the rest of their
county ticket they could not defeat
Mr.. Spangler. He won over Mr..
Shuster by a majority of 10. He
made an exceptionally strong run in
several townships where he WAS
fought bitterly.
j. NJ. Erion, who was elected to
the senate, resides in Prosper town

candidate before the county conven-
tion for the nomination of repre-
sentative and after he was defeated
he became an independent candidate
on the democratic platform for the

Sioux City journal: The South
Dakota supreme court has rendered
a decision in line With that OF the
Minnesota supreme court in the
"Too Much Johnson case. The
burden OF the ruling in both In
stances is that a voter after having
helped to nominate a candidate for
Office In a party primary or caucus
may not help to nominate ny petition
an other candidate for the sane
Office.
In the South Dakota instance one
George w. Harris sought an indie
pendent nomination for the legisla-
tnre from the Pierre district. He
circulated a petition and scared the
required Dnmber of names. His
rightatoaa place IN the official ballot
was contested OF the ground that his
petition was irregular and made
qaate. The matter was hurriedly
taken to the supreme court. That
body found that eleven of the petit
tioners for the independent candi-
dacy Of Harris had taken part i'm the
republican cancuses and helped to
nominate anOthtr man for the office
sought by Mr.. Harris. The ruling
OF the court was that these eleven
names must be stricken from the
petition. leaving it without the re-
quisile number of names The
reasoning was exactly in line With
hat by which the Minnesota supreme
court ruled John W. Johnosn, the
socialist candidate for governor, off

The above situation applies with

for lodging, clothes and pleasure and
puts the English workman on a far

comforts OF life are concerned, than
the American workman. Take but

DENTUR.n ALooHL SLOW

~ Va
New York SUI: When he dena.
tasea alcohol bill was before the
country last winter it's advocates
asserted that with the advent..of free
alcohol the Industries OF the country
would strike a new and more rapid
gait, 8 brighter day dawn for the
farmer and the ''strangle hold" OF
the Standard Oil company be
%loosened. 1t was said that alcohol
could and would be made from almost
every product OF the farm, with the
possible exception of rdgweed and
fence rails.
According to the official statement
of DIR. Harvey W. Wiley. chief of
the bureau of chemistry, disappolnt-
ment is in store for many, and in
particular for the farmers. He says
that the benefits Of the new industry
will come mot suddenly, but slowly,
as agricultural products become more
abundant, technical methods Of man.
ufacture are improved and the
methods of utilizing the industrial
alcohol are better understood, !"
This doubtless presents the case as it
really stands. Only the first step has
been taken. Chemists and inventors
are busy devising methods Of eronom-
ical production and mechanical APP
planes for the effective use Of the
material.
Germany has had tax-free alcohol
for a number of years, yet its consulnp-
ton of partly and fully denatured
spirits for the year 1905 was only
about %, 200, 600 gallons. France,
with a similar system, pays to pro-
ducers a bounty of about 6 cents per
gallon, while French consumption
amounts to only some 7,000.O 600 to
100000 gallons year. England, in
order to stimulate the use of the
material, has reduced the necessary
percentage of denaturant from 10 per
cent to 5 per cent.
Nevertheless, the denatured aIco-
hol bill opens the door to vast OPP
portunities and in due time full
advantage of them will be taken.
