new fountain is of artistic design
and will be highly appreciated by
the entire public.

If your shoes are not per-
fectly comfortable to your
feet, pleasing to your eyes,
and in harmony with your
new gowns, you are certainly
wearing shoes intended for
another woman. Among the
endless styles of "Patrician''
there are those as surely de-
signed to exactly fit and
please you as though they
were special ordered from
your custom-maker. Futher-
more, they will wear just as
long as a custom-made shoe,
the saving in price is at least
that of an extra pair of Pa
trician. The fit, the charm
ing styles of Patrician Shoes
are not "accidents' of expert
ment, but the "result" of an
accurate knowledge of the femi-
nine foot, feminine fashions
feminine tastes, combined
with worthy materials.
For your own comfort and
satisfaction we suggest that
you try Patrician.-A popu-
lar price-$3.5O.

THREE EARS OF CORN BRING S33.
Profit to J. A. Blow Of Bu|Iard, Texas from
Display Which He Has Made.

Does it pay to raise good corn
in Texas? j. A. Blow of Bullard,
Texas, one of the exhibitors in
the Agricultural department at
the state fair, has the answer to
that question ready for all in
quirers. Mr.. Blow has in his
possession three ears of corn
that have netted him S33 during
the present state fair, and if he
continues to show them at other
fairs to be held in the state it is
likely their earnings will be in
creased. These three ears won
the first in the corn class in
which they were entered, won
the sweepstakes and then won
the grand sweepstakes, the
premiums amounting in all to
S33. Dallas News.

For the third time William Jen-
nings Bryan has gone down in
defeat in race for the presi-
dental chair of the United
States. 1t has been one of the
hottest contested battles ever
fought in this country and there
has been much speculation as to
the outcome until the day of
balloting came when the matters
were finally settled.
The decision of the sovereign
voters was definite and final
This was very evident when the
first election returns began to
come in and the democrats of
this city who had gathered at
the opera house to hear the tele-
graphic returns Tuesday night
could not gather much enthusi-
asm, while the small number of
republicans gathered consola-
ton with each return.
Arrangements had been made
by Thomas Brothers, managers
of the opera house, to have re-
turns of the election sent down
to their house of amusement for
the benefit of the people of this
city and the manner of receiving
returns was satisfactory to the
people however the result may
have been disappointing.
The presidential election was
the most sought after though the
election of various governors in
the several close states called for
a great deal of attention.
Up to the time of going to
press it has been definitely
shown that Taft would receive
298 votes in the electoral college
with possibly an additional vote
to come from Kentucky where
one of the votes was very close.
Bryan would receive Ia votes
and there were II votes that had
at that time not been decided.
As to the Congress there has
been little if any change in the
Senate which has had repub-
lican majority. In the House,
however, there has so far been
some change. According to the
latest reports it is probable that
| the republicans will not have suf-
The Randall County news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1908-1926, 1908-11-06

ficient votes to control the House.
The Honorable Joseph Cannon
has been reelected bat it is
probable that he will not have the
votes sufficient in the House to
re-elect him as the Speaker
which chair he has been holding
with telling effect for several
years.
The greatest surprise of the
whole election was the large vote
which Taft polled in the city of
New York. This city has always
been considered a strong demo
cratic place, carrying a majority
of from 10000 to 10000 in times
of Presidential elections. Taft,
however, seems to have gotten
hold of the voter At any rate
he has carried the city of New
York for his ticket, the second
time in history that the repub-
lican Presidential candidate has
carried the city.
1t also appears that Taft has
carried Il larger popular vote
than did Roosevelt four years
ago which is somewhat surpris-
ing in the face of that large vote.
On the other hand the republi-
can pluralities fell off heavily in
the Middle West-a matter
which thoroughly surprised the
republicans.
Missouri, which went to the
republican columns last election,
has returned to the democratic
fold and the state has gone to
Bryan, while Cowherd, the dem
ocratic nominee, has been elected
governor of the state. Stone has
been also elected as United
States senator in this state.
In Texas the voting was nomi
nal in strength and Campbell for
governor will run right along
with the Bryan ticket, estimates
being that Bryan and Campbell
will carry the state by 10000.
On the republican ticket Cecil
Lyon will run ahead of the Pres
idential candidate, possibly by
5000 votes.
Of the three amendments
which were voted upon the first
