Some Iowa newspaper men have
been down to Washington and told
the boys that the democrats have
great hopes OF profiting by the repub-
lican mix-up in the state. If Cum
minis wins or loses the nomination
for governor they propose to nominate
Judge Wade, banking on the dissatis-
faction in the republican ranks to
land him in the executive chair.
Stranger things have happened.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Oct. 31.-Disappointmen
over the announcement of the United
States Steel company in failing to in
crease the dividend on the common
shares was instrumental in opening the
stock market lower. This issue opened
off three-quarters of a point, and the
selling seemed to be of d better char
acter than the buying.
In the higher priced railroad shares,
Pennsylvania, Reading, st. Paul, Union
Pacific, Northern Pacific and Baltimore
& Ohio all opened fractionally lower
with a downward tendency and losses
of about a point in each of the above
issues was the order of the day.
The money market continues very
firm, call loans today at one time rul-
ing as high as per cent, with the
larger loans being made well above
per cent. One reason advanced for
the firm tone in the money market is
the fact that interest disbursements
fall due on Nov. I, and bankers are
making preparations to provide for
them. It is argued after these pay
ments are made the money market will
assume normal conditions again.
In the last hour quite sharp break
was brought about by liberal selling in
Pennsylvania and Reading, which had
sympathetic weakness in the entire
list.
The close tonight is ragged and
weak. with losses Of one to two points
in all of the active issues.

CONGRESSMAN CRUMPACKER
WRITES TO HAMMOND MAN
DepIores Police Interference When He
Tried to Answer Question Put to
Him ny Edward stoIIey.

Edward Stol1ey of this city has re-
eeived the following communication
from Congressman e. .. Crumpacker,
who spoke at Towle's opera house last
Monday evening. At the time Mr..
Stolley asked the speaker a question,
but was unable to hear the answer
that Mr.. Crumpacker made, because of
the interference of the police. Mr..
Crumpacker has written Mr.. Stolley on
this account. The letter follows:
Valparaiso, Ind. Oct. 80. 1906.
Mr.. Edward StolIey.
Hammond, Ind.
Dear Sir:-I want to express to you
my sincere regrets over the occurrence
at the opera house at Hammond last
evening. / considered your question
an absolutely fair one, and would have
been glad, indeed, to have had you re-
main to hear my attitude on the sub
| ject you referred to. OF course, I can
not be held responsible for the action
of the officers in expelling you from
the hall. 1 would have much preferred
to have had you remain, because from
what know of you I am satisfied you
are an honest man and was only seek
ing the truth, and I could have stated
satisfied you that I am not, and never
have been, opposed to the interests OF
labor, but, on the other hand, I have
always supported every measure cal
culated to benefit the cause of labor
organized or unorganized. While [ dc
not now remember of ever meeting you
personally, I have known you as one
of the substantial citizens of Hammond
for a number of years, and I do not
want you to misunderstood my atti-
tude on questions of interest to you
AS you know, men are often misquoted
and misrepresented. and l feel 1 have
been misrepresented in this campaign
and unjustly charged with things that
are not true. / am sure that you, as
an honest and patriotic citizen, who
desires to do justice to his fellow men
would not want to oppose my election

Liverpool being quoted three eighths

also future options in the Minneapolis

ceipts of wheat at that quarter are
disappointing, owing to the car short

they are unable to fill their flour con-

feature. The market closed with q

A CALM CAMPAIGN.

One thing that strikes all observers
of the New York campaign, says the
New York Tribune is its calmness.
Last year the campaign was hysterical (;
this year it is quiet. The Tribune con
tinues:
No one is lying awake nights because
of the campaign. No one is threatened
with nervous prostration over the is
sues. In this city there are few signs
that an election is coming on, and up
in the country, according to all reports,
the people go about their affairs just as
if they had not the saving of the state
on their hands. 1t is a little odd that a
community capable of growing wildly
excited one year over q savior of So
ciety should view him the next year
with dignified unconeern.

Hammond people have attended the
performances OF this play than any one
play which has ever appeared in Chi

Gen. Lew Wallace. who wrote the
book on which the play is founded, is
perhaps the greatest of all Indiana
writer's. and his book ranks as one of
the greatest pieces of literature ever
written. Only within the last week
this book has been the subject of
study and composition by the students
of literature in the Hammond high
school. IN order to encourage the
study of this book and its author on
the part of high school students THE

a monopoly CHECKED.

The action of President Roosevelt
in withdrawing the coal lands from
sale as well as retrieving as much as
he can of those that had been secured
by fraud. has checked the most mon
strous monopoly ever conceived in this
country. Through its purchase from
the Great Northern railway the United
States Steel corporation has become
owner of more than half the iron ore
beds in the United States. Were the
coal lands available. it would seize
them and thus have an absolute control
not only Of the iron and steel output
but Of the fuel supply of the nation
Thanks to the prompt action of the
president, a part of this control has
been rendered difficult, if not impossi-

ton of the Bank of England: when
cash returns from the country IN NO
vember. and the bank also obtains the
gold coming to hand from South Africa
and elsewhere, the Improvement IN the

should be realized that the bank must
obtain a large addition to its reserve
in November in order to be prepared
to meet the usual drain OF cash TO the
provinces in December. amounting to
