The sensational suit started by Ok
lahoma Haskell against Hearst which
was initiated one midnight before
election at Omaha by the sheriff's
kicking Hearst's bathroom door. OPP
en- in order to serve the papers, has
been transferred from the Nebras-
ka courts to the federal court on Pc
tition of MIR. Hearst. Haskell sues
for 100000 which he alleges IS
the amount he has been damaged.
Hearst will demand an early trial
now that he has got it into the fed
eral jurisdiction and away from the
late democratic candidates immed
late neighbors.
Returns of the votes cast by the
minor parties were extremely slow,
but enough was known to make it
certain that the predicted million
for Debs, the socialist candidate,
had not been cast Prominent social
lists were satisfied, however, that the
official count would show a total of
about 500, 900, or twice the vote Of
| four years ago. Much disappoint-
ment was expressed over the de-
feat of Hlquit in the Ninth New
York City District. and also in the
defeat of Hunter and Stokes for the
Assembly. The socialists say that
the republicans and democrats COM
bined against them. Debs said he
was satisfied and that the campaign
of 1912 had already been begun.
State Secretary Wipf is receiving
returns from the different counties
and tabulating the same, and while
but about a dozen counties have re-
ported, if the rest of them show up
at about the same ratio of those
which have come in the divorce law
has carried by good majority; the
quail protection laws gets vote Of
almost two to one, and county OPP
lions shows indications of having
lost out. The increase of the at
torney generals salary has gone
down for the third time it has been
submitted to the people. On Sun
day observance law, and the reven-
ue amendment to the constitution,
the returns do not as yet indicate
which way they may finally land, as
the vote appears to be close on both
propositions.
Nothing more surely indicates the
industrial prosperity of the country
than the iron trade. Whenever the
iron market lags then there appears
a sympathetic depression in other
lines, but when the demand is felt
for the various uses of iron from the
raw material to the finished product,
we may rest assured that business
is prosperous. Just now every phase
of the iron industry is either crowd
ed with orders or rapidly nearing
such a condition. The demand for
copper is also increasing-our copper
industry has been PROSTATE for some
time and revival in the building
trades means much to the copper in
dustry. Indications of returning
prosperity are not only multiplying,
but are in evidence in those indus
tries which are most important and
which give assurance Of permanence.
The people were promised tariff
revision in case the republican party
won out at the late election. The
people have performed their part
Of the agreement and already Chair
man Payne, of the House Ways and
Means committee announces that
hearings on the provisions of a bill
for revision of the tariff will be
taken up Immediately at Washing
ton. These hearings will continue
during the winter an dthe commit
tee expects to have the new sched-
ules nearly completed in time for
the special session of congress which
ised by President-Elect Taft. The
republican party has never failed
to keep faith with the people and
will do so in this instance. The re-
vision will be made in accordance
with the American principle of pro-
lection to home industries and the
maintenance of the American high
standard of wages.
That the republicans will continue
in control of both branches of Con-
gress at least for another two years
was known the morning after cleo
ton, although the majority in the
House had been reduced apparent
ly to forty-five, as compared with
fifty-seven in the present house.
Common was again elected by a COM
Portable plurality, in spite of the ma
tional fight made against him, both
by organized labor and by various
progressive influences. Most of the
republican congressman in Nebras-
ka and elsewhere who were pledged
not to support Cannon for the speak
ership were themselves beaten at the
polls. In Iowa one of the republican
veterans who went down in defeat
was Hepburn His democratic sue
cessor is a young and hitherto un-
known editor, D. Jamison. Other
republicans retired are Overstreet, of
Indiana, McCreary, of Pennsylvania,
Charles b. Lands and others.
