HUGE REPUBLICAN
VOTE ON MAYOR
Contest at the Primarie, Over Mayoralty Brings
Out Thousands.
SoWness Of Voters at Voting Machines In Some Precincts
Causes Trouble, and Return to Old
Ballot System.

What has become Of the democratse
=, Everybody is calling for a republican
ballot in the Minneapolis primaries to-
day. The republican vote is going to
be tremendous. The democratic vote
in most Of the precincts has almost dis
appeared. Well-known democrats are
voting the republican ticket, and even
~ ~ the strong democratic wards where
there are sharp contests among the
democrats, the republican vote is run
ming heavy. ..,... -.
Not less than 10000 republican bal
lots had been cast up to noon today,
and the total republican vote will prob
ably run over $4,000. Two years ago
the republican vote for mayor was 49,
456. The total democratic vote is like
ly to be less than 5000. The prohibi-
zionist and socialist vote is very light,
and is being largely swallowed up in
the rush for repu blican ballots.
:. The phenomenal rush Of all voters
1nto the republican pri maries has set
all the politicians guessing. It is up
setting all calculations. Republican
from $4,000 to $4,000 votes to be- ag. diyi i'd
ed are forced to throw their figures in
the wastebasket and start all over
again.
The mayoralty fight is plainly the
magnet that has attracted this vote.
The saloon interests have passed the
word down the line for everybody to
90 into the republican primaries and
vote for U. G. Williams. In the down
town precincts it is very apparent that
democratic votes have been corralled
by hundreds for Williams.
Democrats for Jones.

man, however, who is getting democrat

and they are going into the republican
primaries and voting for him. While
| Williams will get a majority of this
democratic vote, it will not be so one
sided as to bring him within reach Of
, the nomination. The total democratic
will not be more than 5000 or 5000,
and out Of this Jones is likely to get q
third. In the republican precincts the

Ing, driving about the city. He returned
at noon, well pleased with what he had
seen and heard, and satisfied that the
democratic game was not going to dc
him serious injury.
A. NJ. Geesaman, manager Of the Jones
campaign, said after his morning tour:
t"Mayor Jones' nomination is absolute

Almost a Farce.

No attempt has been made anywhere
to challenge democrats, or to check the
rush for republican ballots. In many

law by the judges is almost farce. In

LAW AFFECTING CORPORATIONS
FELT HARD IN NEW YORK.
Only One-Tenth as Much Money Received
by Empire Republicans as in Any
Year Since 1891

NEW YORK, Oct. 13-The Repub-
lican state committee, up to the present
time, has received only one-tenth as much
money in campaign contributions as in
any year since 1891. This announce
ment was made by State Chairman
Woodruff after a long conference with
George X. Sheldon, treasurer.
Mr.. W oodruff said that the falling off
IN contributions was due to the recent
law forbidding corporations to con-
tribute to campaign funds, and that the
situation which has resulted is so serious
that something must be done at once.
lie said that just now he is sending let
tiers to Republicans all over the state re-
questing financial aid for the cam
paign.
We don't hesitate to say" Mr. Wood
ruff declared, that in former years ap-
proxlmately so per cent. of the cam
paign contributions came from the cor
poratIons, and the Republican party,
knowing last year that the public de-
manded change from that system, and
IN spite of the fact of it being the party
which protited by the contributions from
the corporations, drew up, made, and
passed the law which prohibits any cor
poration from giving anything to q cam
paign fund.-

THE CALL OF THE CHURCH.
By Rev. Jenkin LIovd To

The call of the church l would speak
Of is that which comes to the respect
able men and women who begrudge
time and money given to the church :;
who are prudential here while they
are lavish elsewhere; who subordinate
the claim of the church to the claims
of the clubs, the school, the golf links,
the theater, opera and that Intangible
something called society,"" with its So
called social duties, its social demands.
its social expenditures, ambitions and
qualifications.
What is this church whose claims
disturb our quiet and interfere with
cur accumulations and our pleasures?
We need not go far for an answer. Ex-
perience. philosophy and history unite
in saying that the church is now and
always has been a school Of ethics, an
academy of morals, the training ground
of character. The church is a human
compact in the interest of religion and

ligion everywhere and always is right

LEWIS MILLIONS
GO TO CHARITY,
Famous English Money Lenders Wife
Dies, Leaving Sic, 100000 for
the Poor.

LONDON, Oct. 13-By the death of
Mrs. Sam Lewis-Hill, widow of the
late Sam Lewis, the well known
money lender, about $15,0OOOOO will be
distributed in charitable requests.
In accordance with the will of Sam
Lewis, who died in 1901, his whole for
tune was left to his widow for life, be-
sides which she was given outright
$o,OOO,oOO, much of which presumably
will go to her second husband, Lieut..
Hill of the Scots guards.
Kings hospital fund comes in for a
large sum. Besides specific amount
of S1,25O,OOO, the hospital gets about
S3,OOO,OOO out of the residue of the es-
tate. About 100000 goes to estab-
fishing dwellings for the poor, the sum
OF $4,000 is devoted to the relief Of
the Jewish poor and Jewish hospitals
and colleges. and ASIo.UUU goes to other
hospitals, while number of others get
good legacies.
Lewis was the most famous man IN
England, in his business. His tranSac-
tons were enormous and his clients were
among the highest personages in the
land. He was shrewd and hard, but
absolutely honest.
lie used to say his motto was, Il lend

IS now claimed that his princely requests

THE LIFE OF BLESSING.


Every thoughtful man seeks to an
swer the question, How can 1 make
the most of life?" President Roosevelt
has employed the term strenuous life"
as defining career that is rich in
blessing. Wagner is seeking to lead
men away from the strain and worry
and artiticially of to-day into what he
calls the simple life"
The first psalm declares that the man
who finds delight in the law of God
and the great fundamental rules of life
which it sets forth and who walks in
the paths of Righteousness cannot fail
to receive the highest blessings.
These old laws are often spoken Of
contemptuously as blue laws" and
Anticipated" and rigorous" but obedi-
ence to them results In a character
upon which men can always rely.
Let US never judge a man by what
he has but always by what he is. AS
the winnower on the thrashing floor
in Judea would throw up his shovel
full into the wind and the wind carried
the chaff fluttering out of the door be-
cause 1t was light, and the wheat
dropped upon the heap, because it was
solid, so the wind Of judgment will
deal with each man according to his
nature.

Hay Fever.-The disorder known as
hay fever, while not dangerous, is ex-
tremely uncomfortable. 1t resembles a
violent catarrh, although it excites the
eyes and tear glands rather than the
nasal membrane. Some authorities at
tribute the trouble to hay, others to the
pollen of certain fowers-notably the
golden rod-a third group to triclzsy
nerves and a fourth to emanations from
mice, rabbits or other animals. Owing
to the wide diversity Of opinion about
the cause, there is no uniformity in the
methods of treatment. Here are a few
Of the remedies: Local bleeding, aperi-
ents, quinine, tones, iron, opium, mer-
curry, digitalis, cocaine, menthol, am
monia vapors and sprays, besides spe-
cial treatment for conjunctivitis, rhin-
tits and bronchitis. It is doubtful, how
ever, if any lasting results are obtained
with these things.

EXPLORATIONS OF PIKE.
IEey Had Political Consequences
Eot Foreseen in That Time.

i6ey Had Political Consequences
rSot Foreseen in That Time.
General ZebulOn Pixies explorations
OF IS06-1S01 had political consequences
which neither Pike nor anybody else
III his day could toresee, says the Re
view OF Reviews. Although he was
we'll treated by the Spaniards, his cap
ture by them intensified the desire Of
Americans, especially in the west, to
drive Spain out of Mexico. Written
i'll 1908 and published in 1910, his re-
port pointed out the wealth of Next
cos natural resources, showed the
weakness of SPANS hold on thar coun-
try, and urged her expulsion by an
American army If BOnaparte should
seize the Spanish throne, which Bona
parte did while Pike was writing, and
held it for six years.
Pixies report sent Magee, kemper,
Long, and other adventures from our
side Of the line over into Texas and
other parts of Mexico. More import
ant still, it melted Moses Austin TO get
from Ferdinand Wis representatives
in 1920 permission to establish colo
ny of Americans in Texas, which his
son, Stephen f. Austin, planted there
IN 1922. When the Mexicans soon aft
erward drove Spain out the inevitable
race conflict with the Americans be-
gan, which eliminated in Sam Hous-
tons victory over Santa Anna at San
Jacinto in 1886, and the establishment
of the Texas republic.
By the annexation of Texas In 1915
the United States inherited Texas
boundary dispute with Mexico, and
this led to the war Of 1S46-1S4S, which,
through conquest and purchase, placed
the stars and stripes over the present
New Mexico, Arizona Except that
part below the ella, which Gadsden
bought in 1889, California Nevada,
Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyo-
southwest onward to the Pacific. While
the American and Mexican commits
sioners were fixing up their peace pact
at Guadalupe Hidalgo in the opening
days Of 1913, James W. Marshall made
his gold discovery In the raceway of
Suffers MILL on the American fork of
the Sacramento, which made Califor-
MIA knock for admission as state be-
fore the politicians had time to organ
ize it as a territory, melted the search
which led to the gold and silver strikes
in other parts of the West, and swung
the country's center of political gravi-
ty far toward the sunset.
