| The above candidates are the choice
of the republican voters Of Marshall
county for their candidates to appear
before the general election next No
| ve1nber.
In the first statewide primary cleo
| ton ever held in Iowa the results be-
came known today, after the judges OF
the city precincts had put in an en-
tire night counting the returns. At mid
night Tuesday the results on the head
Of the ticket were pretty well known,
and Governor Cummins' vote for
United States senator was estimated
at 1900. Complete returns place the
| figure at 1,342.
The republican vote polled In Tues
days election was somewhat under the
republican vote of the last primary in
1906, which was 1865 for the head of
the ticket The total republican vote
in the county Tuesday was 1914. This
| would indicate that the democratic
| vote that was cast at tho election was
no larger than in any other primary
where county issues are involved, and
in which the democrats have always
participated to a greater or lesser ex-
| tent.
Governor Cummins' endorsement for
the senatorship in Marshall county was
a fine testimonial Of the regard IN
| which he is held in this county, and
the. faith the voters have in him as an
exponent of clean politics and the
Square deal" Mr.. Good, for congress,
received almost an equal endorsement
by largely the same men who sup
ported Cummins. The vote on governor
was not so heavy as for either senator
or congressman. The fight for the
state senatorsl1ip was pretty close all
night, and only until this morning.
when some of the belated country pre-
cincts began to arrive, did the figures
show for the result. When Mayor In
gledue was found to have the city by
only II votes, his defeat was conceded
by his friends last night.
In the county offices Cornell, Tor
auditor, made fine run against Pack
er, winning strong by a majority OF
7O4. Haradon, for clerk Of courts, sur
prised even his friends, and won over
Clark by 514. The warmest fight of
any Of the county offices was for sher-
iff, which goes to Nicholson by plur-
ality Of 1874 over Worden.
With three precincts yet to hear
from Nicholson's lead should be tn
creased, as t.ley are naturally his p-e-
cincts. Both Nicholson and Worien
have the necessary IS per cent Of the
total number of votes cast, so that the
nomination is decided without going
into the convention.

by a narrow margin resulted from his
vote in the First, Fourth and Fifth

Sudden Resignation of Navy
Secretary Gives Rise to
Gossip in Washington
Report Is That Oaklander With
drew in Anticipation OF
Coming Snub
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, Nov 19.-Secretary
Metcalfs determination to resign from
the cabinet was taken suddenly last
week. Mrs. Metcalfs sister was to
come here to spend the winter and was
to arrive today. but a telegram re-
ceived before her departure from CALI
fornia advised her of the secretary
decision to return to the coast by De-
cember /.
This sudden decision gave rise TO
rumors here regarding Metcalf's rela-
tions with the president and the presl-
dent elect One story was to the effect
that Metcalf had disagreed with the
president regarding the Newport con-
ference. Another had it that Roose-
welt was angry with Metcaf for fall-
ing to take the stump during the cam
paign- Still another story gave to AS
sistant Secretary Newberry the credit
for dislodging and supplanting Met
calf. Another report told how Met
calf was not wanted by President Elect
Taft. and that Metcalf preferred to re-
tire rather than fail to receive an in
vitation to become a member OF the
new cabinet
Metcalf's close friends declare that
he is in very bad health and is broken
hearted over the condition of his son
who is afflicted with tuberculosis. They
say there is no reason to doubt that
his resignation was based on these
facts. AT the White House it is said
that the presidents letter to Metcalt
stated all there was in the case. De-
nial is made that there was any hidden
reason for Metcalf's retirement.

well bought is half sold" is an
old adage of business. and true one.
During the past eight or nine months
and following the panic of last fall
eastern factories have, in many in
stances. been almost at a standstill.
We realized this condition of affairs
and knew how eager the manufacturers
were to keep their factories running.
so that the organizations they had spent
years in building up might not be lost
TO them and the workmen whom they
had trained to their business might not
leave them.
1t was a common saying among east
ern manufacturers, during the past
summer, that they cared nothing for
profits. that they would be more than
satisfied to run their factories il only
they showed no loss at the end of the
year.
knowing this condition of affairs we
Instructed our eastern buyer to secure
large quantities Of pianos from the
best factories, for delivery during the
fall months, and in all the years we
have been doing business we have never
been able to buy good, reliable pianos,
recognized in the trade as thoroughly
high grade. at the prices that we have
paid during the past few months.
The aim of the Eilers stores has al
ways been. first. to give high quality
to their patrons in the pianos they SELL
and. secondly. by doing business in
tremendous quantities. to make the
prices so low as to place a good piano
within the reach of practically every
home on the Pacific coast.
This fall we expect TO establish a
new record. both in quality and prices.
The pianos made during the past year
have not been made in the press of
rush orders. and. consequently. have
been turned out far more carefully
than any time within the last six years.
We are, therefore. able to offer to
the intending piano purchaser pianos
that constitute easily the best work
that the eastern factories have ever
turned out. and at the same time. we
are not only willing but glad to share

the savings we have been able to effect
with all of our customers.
We are confident that not only will
we now sell more pianos than ever be-
fore in our history, but that every
piano we sell will be a standing adver-
tisement for our houses.

SANTA CRUZ. Nov. 1e.-when the
Miner divorce case was called in Judge
Smiths court this afternoon there ap-
peared with Mrs. Annie Miner her
mother Mrs. John Howell. and her
brother, John Howell Jr., with D Or
VILE Libbey, an aged friend of the
family. whose name has been brought
into the case by DR.. Miner. Mrs. How
ell was on the stand.
For the greater part her answers in
cross examination by Attorney j. A.
Hall were vehement and fiery, espe
cially when touching upon visit with
her daughter to Eagles Nest and Ben
Lomond after the San Francisco fire.
when she heard DR.. Miner tell his wife
she could make more money in the
street The afternoon session closed
with Mrs. Miner on the witness stand.
Attorney Hall introduced letters
which the defendant had written to her
husband and family when in the east,
endeavoring to show that Mrs. Miner
had played the part of a hypocrite in
using endearing terms when she had
no love for her husband.
1T was for the sake of my children
said Mrs. Miner. Nearly all letters
were addressed to Dear Three as one
unit" When letters she had written to
her DONS were READ IN WHICH lONe
breathed, telling them of nice presents
she was going to bring them, and how
they would romp among the trees and
tell stories around the fireside when she
returned. Mrs. Miner wept and an
swered questions with difficulty. Even
the stoical doctor was seen to wipe
moisture from his eyes. At that point
Attorney Elliott sarcastically remarked
to Attorney Hall:
Are you going TO introduce those
letters to show cruelty?"
Questioned on the point that DIR.
Miner had given her money literally
for her eastern trip, the witness kept
correcting Hall with: Not his money,
our money. I thought the money the
doctor gave me to go east on was paid
back two or three times. I sent the
money back and paid some old bills"
Confronted with q batch of checks, Mrs.
Miner replied that the biggest part
drawn were not for her trip, some be-
ing for household furniture.
Had you decided while east to leave
DR.. Miner?" asked Attorney Hall
Yes: and DR.. Miner made the same
threat to me as he did at Campbell. He
told me If l left him he would ruin my
reputation forever. Yes, he pleaded
with me to love him and said:
Say you love me. even if you don't;
maybe you can learn to love me

THREE MONTHS FOR VETERAN

NAPA, Nov. 19.-The jury in the case
of John Rynes. an aged veteran of the
civil war. charged with attempting to
murder p. j. McGlynn of Napa by stab
bing him, today found Hynes guilty
of simple assault. Hynes waived time
for the pronouncing of sentence and
was sentenced by Judge Gesford to
serve three months in the county Jail.
The jury took the view that there
were extenuating circumstances in
favor of Hynes. as he believed that
he had been robbed of a S. goldpiece
and a watch. He accused McGlynn of
the robbery, and this LED to the stab
bing of the latter.
