THE DISTRICT LEADER"
A Magnificent Production That Should be
Greeted by a Packed House, Mon.
day, Nov. 10Th.

One often hears the remark +: "Yo on
must go to New York or Chicago to
see the original productions or else
you hear quite different thing under
the same name; - but such is not a
fact with, and does not apply to
1.-The District Leader which will
make its first appearance here at the
Grand on Monday night, Nov.
10th.
The chorus is not only large enough
to fill any stage but the voices are
the sort that take an opera score and
make the very best of all that is in it..
1.-THE District Leader moves with a
swing and dash and when it is all
over you leave the theatre and expect
to find the lights of Herald Square
blazing in front and all around you,
and everyone hurrying down Broad
way for an after theatre supper.
1.-The District Leader" is New York
production, produced at Wallack s
Theatre and this production in its
entirety is what is promised local
theatre goers. Every costume, every
piece of scenery, every electrical effect
and every property used in Wallack S
will be used here when this attraction
makes it's appearance at the Grand
Nov 49, Without dissenting voice
first honors go to Miss Mabel Barrison,
who accomplishes all that is possible
for one woman to do with a spirit and
charm of manner that wins her
auditors from curtain rise to finale.
When this attraction makes it's APP
pearance here both Miss Barrison ant
JOS. E. Howard will positively be il
the cast.

Des Moines, Iowa. 9 :53 a. m

Public Opinion, DEBORAH, Iowa.
From the returns received up to
midnight from all parts of the state
covering two hundred and fifty pre-
cincts it seems almost certain that
Gov. Cummins has been defeated by
Claude Porter. The Daily Capital
asserts that the state is in doubt and
that indications point to Cummins
defeat. Such counties as Des Moines,
Polk, Warren, Greene, Jasper, Dallas,
Madison. Wapello. Wayne. Cherokee
and Woodbury. all report heavy
losses to Cummins ranging from
3, 400 in Polk county to 200 in Chero-
kee. The loss in Dallas county alone
is sixteen hundred, Des Moines county
goes 800 for Porter. while Jasper is
placed at !, 400. In every precinct re-
ceived up to the present time there is
loss for Cummips. Towards mid
night the republican headquarters
were inclined to give no expression as
to what the outcome would be. 1t
was stated that it would take a full
AMI complete vote count to determine
the result.

Death Of Mrs. M. T. Torsen.

From far away California last
Tuesday came telegram bearing the
sad news of the death in Pasadena of
Mrs. L.cy Treat TOrsen. She had
been a sufferer for several years, 60

A Great Comedy Opera.

The production of "The Girl and
the Bandit at the Grand on Saturday
night was one of the finest things
seen in the theatre in years. The
production is magnificently staged
and costumed, and the principal
parts are carried by actors and
vocalists of superior excellence. Miss
Gillette made n decided hit at every
appearance, as did also Mr.. McFar'
lane, Mr. Sellery, Miss Reid and
several others of the company. The
chorus work as we'll as the solos was
received with enthusiasm, aud the
play throughout was so splendidly
presented in all particulars that the
audience which crowded the hous'
was delighted with it.

CAPITOL.

Yesterday was an ideal cleo tion day.
II Q rain of the night before kept
the farmers out of the cOrnfields and
the tlreshers away from the stacks
of grain, so that everyone had an op-
portunity to vote. Had it not been
for this fact and the specialwork done
the last week to get the people
out, the vote in Winneshiek would
have beer very much lighter, for both
on account of the general apath y
throughout the country as to political
matters, and the voting machine
agitation in Winneshiek county, there
were large number who could not be
persuaded tosvote. Some went to the
polls and even refused to vote on the
machines after getting there, but of
course the number doing this was
small.
Returns from outside the county
are very meagre and uncertain, but
dispatches received up to the time of
going to press indicate that Hughes.
republican, is elected governor of
New York and johnson. democratic,
governor of Minnesota, Gov. Cum
Minis plurality in Iowa will be from
10. 900 to ZOO.
The entire Winneshiek county re-
publican ticket is elected by ma
jorities ranging all the way from zoe
to 100, with the exception of the
Supervisors, democrat being elected
in each OF the five Supervisors dis
tricts except the fourth, in which o.
M. Selness pulls through by safe
majority. The result in the districts
and the majorities is as follows:
First District-Cooper. 80
Second Districr-Meyer,
Third District-JOnes, Az
Fourth District-Selnes, SO
Fifth District-Jewell, 329
The democrats centered their op'
position upon two of the republican
nominees for county offices, Strand
Tor County Attorney ana Iualley Ioi
Sheriff, and kept up continuous
still campaign for several weeks. The
result is that they made deep inroads
upon their vote, but both are elected
by safe majorities. The pluralities
on the county ticket from the best
available figures at the early hour OF
going to press are as follows:
ator-Burgess, 945

JT7STICE DAVID G. BREWER
Who Delivered a Notable Speech on
Two Periods in the History of the
Supreme Court" Before the
sas-Texas Bar Association

Little Rock, Ark The feature OF
Association is the address of Associate
Justice David J. Brewer, of the United
States Supreme court, on Two PERIODS
in the History of the Supreme Court
the period of strict construction OF
the constitution-roughfy speaking, tht
period up to the civil war-and the
period Of liberal construction, with its
attendant tendency to functional en-
largement, covering the period since
the civil war.
The speaker showed hat during the
first period the constitution and its in
depreciation by Justice John Marshall
had been sacredly revered. Nothing
had been by the judiciary and
the constructive jurist' was an un-
known element. The rights Of the
states had been jealousy guarded and
the general government held TO the
powers granted it.
Since that period. however. a great
change had come. The federal govern
nent had become presumptive. h
individual had been made whilly sub
servient to the national idea.
1T is not how much the individual
would willingly give to his country,
but how much the nation could take
from him. said the speaker.
The colonial policy Of h govern
,nent was held up to be a base traVes-
ty on the original intention Of our fore
fathers who themselves fought that
they might be free from such condi
tions. The government had come 10 be
considered a general d~ispensafory, and
Washington was the great lobby camp
of the world. More Legislation had
been thrust upon congress than it could
attend to, and the government had be-
come a matter of committee legislation
"Constructive' judges were clamor-
ed for who could stretch and enlarge
the meaning Of the constitution. II
there were TO be constitutional change.
the speaker said. il should come by the
properly empowered channel, the peo-
pie through their representatives The
federal government Is efficient, but
there are things greater than mere
efficiency, namely. the protection Of the
individual and the up~ouiiding OF
his sense OF individual responsibility
The speaker condemned in measured
terms the extension OF police powers.
which had, he said. become an omnt-
vorous mouth. with no sense but TO
destroy, and had made important the.
declaration Of our right Of life, liberty,
etc.
" need more Haynes and Patrick
Henrys, n then We may again stand
in truth the Land OF the Free and the
Home of the Brave" he concluded.

VIII Conduct Thaw-Vhite Murder

in part one, general sessions. New
York city, on October l. The witness

GLIDING May Mackenzie, have been
summoned for that day.
District Attorney Jerome will con
duct the prosecution in person. He will
be aided by his assistant, Frank P.
Garvan, who had and will have charge
Of the case up to the time OF the trial.
That the trial will be held in the
court In which the case will be called
is improbable. Judge Rosalsky is sit
ting in part one but the chances are
that a motion will be made TO transfer
the case to the criminal branch OF
the supreme court, and it is not uE-
likely that an upstate justice will DE
assigned to preside.
Mr.. Jerome returned to New York

will be at his Office every day in this

for the southern trip which he has
planned. He conferred at length with

Ex-Judge OlcOtt was asked II there

there had not been.
Have you heard from Billy Stur-
sis,' he was asked. except through
the copy Of the letter he wrote Assis-
tant District Attorney aGrvan relative
to his attitude as a prospective wit

The copy of the letter TO Mr.. Gar

"Will YOU send 10 Berlin. Conn. TO
