The Globe Democrat places the Taft
plurality in excess of 300.
According to the Republic figures
the presidential vote polled in Mis-
souri, Tuesday was 1924 higher than
that polled in 1900, which was the
high mark. Taft's vote is but 6,S2S
behind the Bryan vote of that year and
complete returns from the three miss
ing counties will probably send 1t
ahead OF the Bryan vote eight years
ago.
The plurality of Hadley, Republican
for governor, is now placed at 1851
and complete returns from the three
missing counties will probably show
that he has polled the highest vote

A RATE INJUNCTION
INTERSTATE COMMERCE CoMMlS-
SION ENJOlNED IN MISSOURI
RIVER RATE CASE.
the OFFICIALS s R alSED
Case Originated in Kansas City Ana
involves Freight Rates From At
lantic Seaboard to Mis-
souri, River.

washington, Nov. 7.-Considerable
surprise was expressed by officials OF
the Interstate Commerce commission
Friday on receipt of the information
that the United States circuit court at
Chicago had granted temporary IN
junction in what is known as the MIS-
souri, rate case. The complaint from
which the order of the commission
originated, developed into one OF the
most important cases with which the
commission has had to deal within the
past year. 1t was brought by the
Burnham, Hanna, Munger Drygoods
company and many similar concerns
in Kansas City, against the Chicago
Rock Island & Pacific Railway COM
pany, and practically al OF the rail-
ways doing business between Atlantic
seaboard points and Kansas City. In
effect, the complaint was that the rates
on class commodities between Atlantic
seaboard points and Kansas City were
too high and that they Disseminated
against Kansas City as compared with
many other points in the west and
northwest.
1t was developed by The commission S
inquiry that 10 through rates existed
between Atlantic seaboard points and
Kansas City on class commodities, but
that the rates paid by Kansas City
merchants were the through rates from
Atlantic points to Mississippi river
crossings, plus the sum of the local
rates from Mississippi river crossings
to Kansas City and nearby points.
The order of the commission in the
case was that the rates on first class
freight from Mississippi river cross
ings to Kansas City points should be
reduced nine cents per 100 pounds,
thus making that rate 81 cents instead
of 60 cents per 100 pounds. Proper
tional reductions also were made on
second, third, fourth and fifth classes
of freight between the same points.
This order the commission considered
to be entirely just to the transporta-
ton lines, inasmuch as the rates on
the same classes of freight shipped
from Atlantic seaboard points through
Mississippi river crossings to Mime
apolis and other northwestern points
we're even lower than those fixed by
the commission to Kansas City points
In the final adjudication OF the case
the commission viii endeavor to dem
onstrate that its position as stated in
its order was entirely fair and just to
the railways.

TO CONTEST DENEENs ELECTION
Democratic Chairman in Illinois Wants
a Recount Of Votes.

Chicago, Nov. THE election OF
GOV. Chas. S. Deneen to serve another
term as governor Of Illinois will be
contested by his defeated Democratic
rival. according to a signed statement
issued Friday night by Chas. Bosch
onstein. chairman of the Democratic
state central committee. The state
ment follows
q am convinced that with correct
count and an honest canvass Adlai T..
Stevenson has plurality of the vote
cast in the election last Tuesday for
governor of Illinois. The demand will
be made upon the legislature, as pro-
vided in the statutes"
Gov. Deneen's plurality is estimated
at from $4,000 to 10000 Ben Atwell,
secretary, explained that errors had
already been discovered in several pre-
cinots. and it was calculated that If
only three ballots in each of the 4,O4O
voting precincts in Illinois were taken
from Deneen and given on recount to
Stevenson the latter would seem to
have won the election.

legislative fight came out. The he
publicans lost one representative IN
SedgWick county, Nick Gensman, put
gained one in the Wichita-Greeley dis
trict, where Robert Eadie won BY ono
vote. Additional returns from the
Fortieth senatorial district show that
the Democrats did not win the district,
but that J. T. Reed, the Republican
candidate is victorious.
The Republican state central COM
mittee sent out a printed sheet Fri
day to each county clerk, asking for
the official vote in each county ON tho
Republican and Democratic candidates
for state, national and representative
Offices. While practically correct
tables are available on nearly every
county in the state, Chairman Dolley
desires to get the exact figures on all
the candidates.
No material changes were made In
the total votes on Taft and Stubbs,
as shown in The Star Friday morn
ing. No additional counties were re-
ported Friday morning and there were
only some slight changes found in tho
various county figures, changes that,
after all additions and deductions were
made, showed that Taft had gained,
five votes over the figures of Thurs
day night. 1t is not expected that
many additional county reports viii
be received until the official abstract
of votes comes in.

A BRIGHT OUTLOOK
MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES TO
EMPLOY 65o,0oo MORE MEN
BY DECEMBER I.
BETTER TRADE CONDITIONS
National Association Takes an opti-
mistic View of the Business Out
ook--All Industries Are
Included.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE National
Association of Manufacturers pub
fishes in the current issue of Ameri-
can Industries, its official magazine,
continuation of the statements on
trade conditions contributed by its
5000 members represeting every
branch of industry. The first series OF
these, showing improvement in COM
mercial conditions, appeared in the Oc-
tober u issue of the magazine. The
series now published indicates a con-
tinuation of this Improvement and for
the most part an optimistic view of the
business outlook.
kilograms were also sent prior to
the election to a number of the asSoci-
atoms members asking them to state
specifically how many workingmen
would be added to their present force
by December l if nothing occurred to
shake commercial confidence. A re-
sumo of the information contained in
these replies is also given by the mag
azire as follows:
"The percentage Of replies received
indicate that an average of 1856 men
each will be added to the majority of
manufacturing plants in the associ'
aticn by December ]. The percentages
show that at least one-half Of the 5000
members of the National Association
of Manufacturers expect to add to
their present force more than 100000
worliingmen.
Taking this as a basis" says the
article, 1T is safe to assume that the
$4,000 manufacturers, which, accord
ing to the census of 1900, employed
an average each Of 100 men or over,
will add at lefrct so per cent TO their
present force, making a total in round
figures of $4,000 men. In other words
with the continuance of business con
fidence the important manufacturing
interests of the coutry will be enabled
10 increase their present force by
more than 100000 workingmen to meet
the market demands for their products.
"In securing this information, Dem
ocratic and Republican manufacturers
alike were addressed. No attempt
was made to limit the canvass to any
particular industry or to,any particular
section Of the country and the queries
sent TO manufacturers were based sole
ly upon actual business conditions and
business possibilities for the future

BRYAN is CHEERFUL.
Democratic Leader Not Cast Down by
Defeat.

Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 6.-While not
caring to discuss at this time the po-
litical effect of the Democratic victory
in his home state, or analyze the
causes, w. j. Bryan Wednesday after
noon in an informal talk to number
of friends who called on him, eX-
pressed his pleasure at the result in
Nebraska and the satisfaction It at
forded him to learn of the election OF
so many Of his personal and political
friends.
A delegation of nearly 100 from
Lincoln visited Mr.. Bryan at Fairyiow
to express to him their confidence and
devotion and to assure him that such
was the sentiment of a majority OF
the people of his city and state. Or.
Bryan in responding said:
81 am highly gratihed over the re-
suits in this state. The national de-
feat has not been such disappoint-
ment when we have had SO many
things to console us. | hope l have
convinced my friends that running fer
Office has only been an incident to my
work. My heart has never been set
on holding office, but l wanted to do
certain works, and it looked as though
The presidency might offer the oppor
tt7ity to do that work. am sure that
in private life l can have the chance
. do something. One is not required
to hold Office in order to do big things;
one is simply required to do those
things within his reach, and that much
il within the reach of each of us"
