CHICAGO.

The steady Improvement in comInefclai
,redits is emphasized by a decline IN fall'
lres to the lowest level reported uhls year.
md the volume of payments through the
banks again makes a closer COMPARISON.
A copious rainfall has removed apprehen-
lions as TO the corn crop, and the position
low affords more encouragement TOT
splendid results. Movements of commodl-
lies show recovery in some important lines
and there is further reduction in idle
ears of the Chicago roads, heavier for
warding of finished products, merchandise
and the leading foodstufs drawing more
largely upon rolling stock.
Activity in the leading industries Is
stimulated by a wider aggregate of de-
mands, and some gain is noted IN outputs
Of steel mills, furnaces, forging and heavy
hardware. Specifications have extended
for structural materials and current book
ings are good in wire, electrical supple.
and machinery. Heavy construction ana
building needs become more encouraging
the work in sight assuring increasing EN-
ployment at fubricating plants, planning
mills and lumber yards.
Outside demand is seen to be strength
ening for forest products, hides. leather
and wool. and prices generally sustain
trmness for the raw materials. More ca
pacity and workers are engaged in the
factory districts. and, rising pay rolls add
to recovery in the purchasing power.
Money is quoted at 81 to AZ per cent
the lowest discount rate in some years
and this favorable banking condition sup
ports manufacturers in their disposition
to advance industrial efforts.

trict number IS. against 81 last week and

information received by him he does
not believe the loss will exceed II per
cent of the uncut grain, and that a

The growing corn in some places was
severely damaged, but in others was
scarcely injured. The insurance man
thinks that an estimate Of IT per cent
of the crops not harvested is a good
estimate of the damage.

Audience

POMONA, Sept. ia large and en-

first meeting of the Bryan club, which
was organized a short time ago, and
when the opening address was made
there was hardly seat In the hall I'M
occupied. Although the club has re-
Gently been, organized it's officers and
members have been working faithfully,
as the successful meeting tonight
showed.
James Ed Berry, leader In Demo-
cratic circles in Pomona and president
of the Bryan club, made the opening
remarks and introduced the speaker of
the evening, H. M. Mcdonald of Los
Angeles. Mr.. Mcdonald spoke in a
convincing manner concerning the cam
paign issues and in a clear and con-
else manner placed before his listeners
the benefits that would result from a
Democratic administration against the
disadvantages at which the country
would be placed If Republican pres
ident is elected.
He reviewed the Democratic platform
and pointed out the farsightedness of
Mr.. Bryan in his ideas regarding the
bank guarantv plank and his position
on the labor question. In summing up

OF all parties unite to elect Mr.. Ste

from one party, a contingency against
which many eastern states have pro-
vfded by law. In several counties of
this state both parties have agreed
upon candidates for the superior bench,
thus avoiding partisanship.
Have but One Candidate
There are nine judges on the superior
bench Of this county, all Republicans.
The next legislature in all probability
will create two or three new depart

he follows the usual course, win APP

the four Republicans now candidates
are elected it will be very large

party, elected by q partisan vote. NO
one can advocate a partisan bench,
therefore that this may be avoided the
Democratic party admittedly in the
minority, has placed but one name on
the ticket.

BY DAVID RAlLLlE

A LII good citizens as we'll as all
u good Democrats are gratifled by
= the nomination of Albert Lee Ste
phens for superior judge. It gives OPP
portunity OF stating and establishing
the principle that in such an office as
that of superior Judge the man best
qualified for the position deserves and
should receive the support Of citizens
without regard to political afflliation.
But, even from a political point OF
view, the public interest win be served
better-other things being equal-if the
Democratic party is represented on the
superior bench. A minority represent
tation is always highly desirable.
The Democratic party is to- be con-
graduated on its candidate for this I'M
portant office. No one is more qualified
to I'LL it. In questions OF pure law
Judge Stephens is probably the most
capable man on any local bench. His
