Basket Ball.

The New Hampton High School boys
came over to Cresco last Saturday
with the intention of giving the Cresco
High School boys good beating, but
they went home defeated, the score
being 20 to Ia. The girls gave very
fine exhibition that evening and in the
future the girls will be heard of more.
The boys game was then called.

the score was even to 8.
At the beginning of the last half

The Proof is in the Eating.

Wouldn't you rather pay few cents
more for an oyster that tastes like an
oyster with the true, irresistible salt
sea-tang? That's the kind "Sealshipt"
Oysters are.
The price of "Sealshipt" is a trife
higher; but the actual cost is less,
because you get so much more for your
money. And the delicious flavor of
"Sealshipt" is beyond comparison
superior to the taste of the washed-out,
fiabby oysters sold from tubs.
Get pint of "Sealshipt" Oysters.
See the difference for yourself. They
are sold from the white porcelain case
with the blue "Sealshipt" trade mark.
We sell "Sealshipt" only and guar
antee them. .-LUssoN & ZBoRNIK; The

After the Smoke of Battle Clears,

The sorrow of the Plain Dealer sus-
tanned in the defeat of Mr. Bryan is
not unmixed with Joy over the notable
victory of Howard comfy democrats
who won with five of their county
nominees.
We will confess that the result in
the east was surprise to US, although
we knew a desperate effort was being
made to keep their doubtful states in
the republican column. In the light of
the returns, it is evident that the slush
fund used in Indiana, as exposed pre-
vious to the election by Mr.. Kern, car
ried that state for Taft, the liquor
war in Ohio was to the detriment of
democracy there, and it is evident that
Tammany knitted Bryan in an effort to
defeat Hughes and if this is the case
we are heartily glad that the republi-
cans failed to deliver the goods prom
ised Tammany for their trickery to
democracy.
While Bryan is defeated. he is still
the greatest democrat of all and is
greater than Taft who will hold his
Office by virtue of subservience to the
privileged class. The battle of last
Tuesday was against privilege and priv
ilege won to the loss of the common
people who have again been deluded
by the specious promises of the repub-
lican party and the false cry of disas-
ter in the event of democratic success.
Taft and his party has promised re-
vision of the tariff to benefit the labor
ing classes, but Cannon, Sherman and
the whole bunch of high tariff legisla-
tors will continue to MAKE laws for the
benefit of the trusts and the people
will get no benefit. Support of Taft
by the railroad interests will secure to
them continuance of the present ex-
tortoinate rates. Taft has promised re-
not get. The contributions of Rookie
feller, Carnegie. ETC., will secure to the
trusts immunity from effectutal prose-
cution.
The democrats of Howard county
have reason for rejoicing in their splen-
did local victory. The majority for
Roosevelt in 1904 of 727 has been cut
to TIA for Taft. The total democratic
vote of 1908 is 1889 against 1896 in 1904
and ll8O in 1906.
With hardly an exception, every
county candidate put up an aggressive
campaign and with highly satisfactory
results, and we feel sure that Howard
county will not suffer at the hands OF
the new democratic officials.
The whole fight, practically, of the
republican organization was centerec
upon Mr.. Scholz, for Recorder, anc
had it been clean fight, what follows
would have remained unwritten. but il
was dirty, slanderous fight conceived
in the inferior and benighted brains Of
few unscrupulous, small-bore poll
ticians, but which reacted to their con
sternation and defeat and in the elec
ton of Scholz by the largest majority
of any of the winning democrats.
Every dirty move against Scholi
originated with one man, Fred Sails
bury, who was most ably aided b.
chairman Moen and ex-chairman Davit

Is any material change In the bottom
