that stock. The reaction was perfume
tory in itself, but the speculative ele-
ment viewed IL as a preliminary to put
ting into operation some important gen.
eral financial plan dealing with South
ern Pacific and possibly Union Pacific.
The head of those systems has been
credited in the estimation of the habit
ual speculative element with a large
share in the fostering measures which
have sustained and advanced prices all
through the late summer. Belief that
further measures calculated to stimu-
late speculative buying were in pros
pect from that source, awakened lively
apprehension among the professional
bears and a substantial short interest
was driven to cover.
On the side of conservatism in specu-
lation has been the opening prospect of
demands for fresh capital in the form
of new issues. The successful sale of
$12. 500. 900 of New York City corporate
bonds was regarded as a sign of the
good appetite of capital for investment.
while offerings in foreign markets indi-
cate a similarly favorable condition.

With the school election only two days
distant, interest centers in the contests IN
the First, Second and Fourth wards In
the Fifth ward no candidate has been Sc
lected to oppose the present member or
the board and the result in the Third is
foregone conclusion.
In the First ward, Harry p. Clark will
oppose Charles S. Martin. the present
member of the board. Though he was
nominated by the american" party. ii is
the claim of the supporters of the candl-
dacy of Mr.. Clark that he is just as much
of a non-partisan candidate as Mr. Mar
tin, who Is running on the sO-called non
partisan ticket.
Mr.. Clark is cashier of the Commercial
National bank and is very popular win
his acquaintance throughout the city. His
knowledge of public affairs and especially
of educational affairs makes him espe-
cially well qualified for the position as
member of the school board. Mr.. Martin
is of the Martin Coal company He has
been a member of the school board for the
past four years
In the Second ward George S. Smith,
contracting builder and architect is NOM
mated on the american ticket to oppose
the reelection of Arnold G.. GiauQue, who
is running on the ''non-partisan" ticket
Giauque is being opposed by NUMBER
of influential people in the ward, who
declare that he does not represent the
majority of the people of the ward. The
Americans carried this ward year ago
for councilman against fusion candidates
and are hoping to win in the school cleo
ton this year.
The record of Oscar W. Moyle as a men,
Der of the board of education from the
Third ward for eleven years is such an
excellent one that his reelection is GER
tain. His American opponent is John
d. Hagerman. In the Fourth ward Math-
onihah Thomas, 'non-partisan" candidate,
has as his American" opponent Bismarck
Snyder Mr. Thomas has been an eff
cient member of the school board for a
number of years and his friends, irrespec-
tive of party are urging his reelection.
