CAMPAIGN JlNGLES,

Once a prosperous man called Bill

Journeyed far and wide and was
made quite a lion.
Then he said: "I'll be first"
mo you'll not" said Bill Hearst, =
And my word you can surely rely
on"
Don't vote ''early and often"
But vote once, tits your right
It's an honor, my comrades,
To help win the fight. >.'z

March right forward,
Both in trim.

Shall the people rule? Shall the peo-
pie ru1e?''
The perennial candidate smiles with
glee, Y
Both hands are winners; so what
cares he? s-~
It he can't be president, he surely can
Be well-paid and honored "also ran"
This year the honest voter,
In auto rides in state;
Next year perchance an airship
His pleasure will await.
Vote Like a Man.
Come all We staunch Republicans,
Indifference let's ban;
The day draws night when we must
vote,
Must each vote like man.
May lose if we're DER confident,
Aid our opponents plan,
So every good Republican
Must vote-vote like man.
IT is a glorious privilege,
Think otherwise who can.
Were we debarred, we'd rage,
We're not, so vote, vote like a man.
Fen after death the Democrats
Return to help their clan
We fight against tremendous odds
So vote, vote like man.

NEW RECORD FOR STANDARD OIL
Rumor of Important Decision for the Com
pany.

Standard OH stock continued to show exceptional
strength yesterday in the curb market. and ad-
vanced to 6O new high record for the year. It
closed at S46 net gain Of points for the day and
OF 26 points from last Saturdays low price OF go.
AS reason for the sharp advance 1t said
that an important court decision would soon be
handed down in favor of the company.
AS the stock sold as low $50 in the panic last
fall, the market appreciation IN the 500 100000 OF
capital stock at yesterdays high figure amounted
10 12e0,oqQooo. In 1902 Standard OIL stock sold at
S42 which s the highest point ever recorded. From
that time TO the present. however, the company's 3
surplus has increased nearly s25o, 100000
The story that the company intended increase
its capital stock from s0O00O000 to s600000000
also revived and used to account for the advance
According to of the directors. however, there
is little likelihood that the company will make any
move this direction until the numerous suits
pending against the company have been set
tied. Most these suits have been brought by
the federal authorities. and in one of them Judge
Landis imposed the famous fine Of over $29 600. O00
