MANY STATES
HOLD ELECTIONS
Returns Afford Food for Speculation
on Presidential Campaign
Prohibs Make Gains

Numerous states of the Union not
so far advanced as Wisconsin in
electi reform, held their annual
elections Tuesday. While generally
speaking on 'off year." the results
indicate the trend fpublic sentiment
and are indicative Of what may hap
pen in the presidential campaign
neXt year.
Tom l.. Johnson, democrat, was
reelected mayor OF Cleveland, O.,
Nebraska, Mr.. Bryan's state, went
republican by 10000 majority; while
Hearst's independence league in fus-
ion with the republicans in New
York city was beaten by the straight
democratic ticket.
San Francisco noted for clean gov
ernment reelected the district attOr-
ney who put the grating mayor in
Jail.
In Salt Lake City the anti-Morman
ticket was elected.

prohibition legislation had made pos

Illinois, which voted upon the ques
ton, cut out the saloons. The city
of Louisville, Kentucky, aud three
districts in Delaware went dry; and
Columbus, Ohio elected a republican
prohibition mayor.
In Wisconsin we roll ourselves up

LADYSMITH BANKS
In GOOD CONDITION
Both Have Issued Statements Show
ing Much Greater Cash Reserve
Than is Required by Law

The financial depression originat-
ing in the east has been felt in the
money centers all over the country,
and last week for mutual protection
the banks of Chicago, Minneapolis, st.
Paul and Duluth agreed that they
would each retain all the currency
on hand until the panic subsidized,
continuing, however, to do business
otherwise in the usual manner. This
rule was adopted to great extent
by the smaller banks over the north
west.
Both Ladysmith banks were in ex-
cellent condition when the panic be-
gan, having nearly double the cash
reserve required by law, and are
therefore not obliged to hold onto
their currency as tightly as most of
the banks of the larger cities. AS
President Sinclair of the State Bank
remarked: Except we had read
about it in the daily papers, we
would not have known that there
was any financial depression"
There has been no lack of conf
dence exhibited by depositors and
this week each of the banks issued
statements sho wing their exact con-
dition.
Andrew Metott, q farmer from
near Cadott, drove to Ladysmith
Tuesday to cash check for $3.50.
He had been to Cadott and Chippewa
Falls and could not obtain the cash.
He admitted that he had no imme-
diate use for it-but he wanted his
cash and got it, and with it merit
ed roast" from President Jorgen-
son OF the National Bank. He re-
minded the farmer that he was get
ting more than $1 bushel for his
wheat and 60 cents for his oats.
There are twelve billions of deposits
in the banks of the United States
and only two billions OF currency in
circulation. If all the farmers should
draw their money out of the banks,
there would be no market for their
products at any price. The products
OF the farm this year represent seven
billion dollars and if the farmers all
demanded cash returns, the price
would OF necessity be reduced five
sevenths.
Ladysmith banks have been and
are paying cash on all their own
checks, which but very few banks in
the state are doing. Our business
men and citizens should congratulate
themselves upon having two such
substantial banking houses.

How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?

How many do you guess?
Miss May Peterson, who presides
over the 4th grade OF our public
school, varied the mOnOtOny of the
program in her room the day before
the night which all young folks re-
member as Halloween by having a
free-fOr-all guessing contest. 7 h e
stunt was to guess the number OF
seeds in a pumpkin and the prize was
the pumpkin. The guesses made by
the eight-year-old were more var
ious than the shades OF their hair.
They ranged from fifty to six hun
dred.
There were $50 seeds in the pump
kin. A boy and girl each guessed
600, and on casting lots the girl was
the more lucky. Alice Hadden proud
ly carried home the pumpkin, which
was ;tll ready for the candle to make
it an old-fashioned jack-o-lantern.

Want Fire Prote cfion.

The new shOrt-lOgging mill has ar
rived for the Novelty Works and
Mr.. Alden intends to add much more
machinery, but has decided that be-
fore he does so he should have fire
protection. The extension OF the
tWo-inch pipe now laid to the old
electric light plant will be satisfac-
tory to them, and as that would
only entail an expense of about 5000,
the demand appears very reasonable.
Secretary Thompson Of the Com
mercial Club states that Mr.. Alden
has as yet made no definite PROPOSE
tiOn regarding the matter

that to the best OF his knowledge
and belief Mr.. Martindale was not
