The rapid growth of the business of
the Winneshiek County State Bank
has necessitated an increase in their
force of assistants, and they have been
exceptionally fortunate in securing
County Treasurer E. r. Haines for
position in the bank. Mr.. Haines is
one of the best known young men of
the county, capable. conservative and
careful. and begins his banking career
with an experience of seven years as
County Treasurer. which will be Of
inestimable value to him. The ac-
ceptance of position with this
strong financial institution and his
decision to remain resident of De-
corah will be good news to his large
acquaintanceship throughout the
county
Mr.. Haines entered upon his new
duties on Monday. having made ar
rangements with his deputy. Mr.. q.
Jorgenson, for competent assistance in

1t is all over. Taft and Sherman
hare won glorious victory and the
Grand Old Party will continue to di.
rect the policies of the nation for an
other four years.
Yesterday was an ideal election day.
The weather wss perfect, and the
vote was generally ont throughout the
country. In Winneshiek county there
was little excitement, except consid.
erable discussion over the Office Of
County Superintendent and some over
Sheriff. upon which the democrats
centralized their efforts.
Not for twenty years have the re-
turns come in 90 slowly. and the news
in the early hours Of the morning been
30 uncertain. Although the special
service Of both the telegraph and the
long distance telephone were engaged,
they were unable to furnish anything
up to this morning except meagre es-
Inmates and scattering results. This
was particularly true as to the Win
neshiek county vote. Special arrange.
ments had been made to have the elec-
tion judges over the county telephone
in the result as soon as they had
counted it, but at midnight complete
returns had been received from only
one precinct ont Of twenty seven.
and but few of the others reported any
thing at all. This morning we have
had to wait until the returns were
brought in by carrier to the County
Auditor before getting them 80 that It
is late in the day before definite fig.
