FIREMEN WORK
AT SWAMP FIRE

The firemen at No. 6 hose house
spent several hours during the dis
agreeable weather Wednesday in at
tempting to extinguish fires on the
low lands at the intersection of jack
son street and Warner avenue. Fire,
which appeared to be in the loan,
has been burning for some time and
has been giving much trouble in the
neighbOrhood. In the swamp near
the Jackson street bridge, fire has
been in progress for some time and
the stencil arising from the burning
rubbish has been almost unbearable.
The fire is eating in under the Jack
con street roadway and 1t is feared
that the drive will be ruined II the
fire is not exttguished. A year or SO
ago the fire went under the driveway
and the surface OF the street appeared
like the top of coke oven. Trenches
had to be dug at several places and
water was poured into them for many
days before the fire was finally ex-
tinguisheG.

.DEMS. ELECT ENTIRE
TICKET IN HURON-CO.

Norwalk, Nov. 4.-Huron county for
the first time in It's history, has gone
Democratic. The entire county tick
ct is safe with majorities ranging
from 100 to 1000.
Fifty-four years ago the Democrats
elected a probate judge. Since then
the Republicans have held county
control and come to look upon the Of
fees as assured to them.
Frank o. Ronk, model Office hold
err" has fallen with the rest. Ben B.
Wood, who sought to be probate judge
and made the most complete canvass
of the county ever made, is now the
worst beaten man OF his party.
A. e. Rowley, ex-mayor, and we'll
known attorney, defeated Wood. Even
the Democrats said that Ronk was
sure Of reelection.
The Democratic publicity campaign
did It.
There was an examination Of the
county treasury year or two ago,
following which some officers paid
back" This was the slogan that dlu
the work.
The people read and said nothing,
Some things had not gone to suit,
and here was matter that they could
attend to themselves. And they did
1t.
The "ring," the charmed circle,
which has been handing down Offices
from father to son, and from rela-
tive to relative, for time immemOrial,
are stricken dumb. Nothing like this
has happened within the memory of
the present generation.
Three county commissioners, three
inhrmary directors, coroner, audi

in a heap. When they step out the

new in politics.
The financial troubles which came
to Huron county, because of the fail
ure of the Ohio Trust Co. and the
Nerwalk Savings banks, which were
controlled by men high in the Repub-
lican ranks of the county, started a
revulsion which now has resulted in
the defeat of the entire Republican
ticket.
At first the sentiment was largely one
of animosity against few. The
Democrats, however, awakened to
their opportunity and made capital
out of the long tenures of many Of
fee holders and the manner in which
the patronage was retained in certain
families affected by the failures. They
resurrected a report of a state exam
iner on county offices which had laid
buried in the county auditors office
and which furnished good political
material.

side business. for a number of Phoenix
 republicans were in attendance and gave little talks that will be more specially mention hereinafter.
 The business of the meeting consist
 ed in the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting. the addition to
 the roster of a lot of new names. the collection of more funds and the au- thorization of the executive committee to act with the county central commit tee in arranging for the grandest rally of the campaign sometime between now and the first of November, though the exact date has not yet been decided upon. It is proposed to make this rally a little the best ever. There will be plenty of good speakers. plenty of music, plenty of red fire and noise and .unbOunded enthusiasm. Fuller partic ulars will be published in due time so that the public may make arrange ments to attend. The membership of the club was increased by the addi
 ton of 45 new names to the roster since the organization of the club a week ago and something over $25 was collected at the meeting Friday even ling.
 Following the business of the even ing addresses were delivered by F. W. Lewis. president of the Taft-Cameron Club of Phoenix, Attorney Wilkinson and Paul Renau Ingles. all of Phoenix. Mr. Lewis spoke on How to Beat the Democrats" MT. Lewis has it all if gured out to a nicety and undoubtedly has the right idea as will be demon strated in due time. Mir. Wilkinson took no special subject, but considered things of a political nature in general. Mir. Ingles spoke on "Why I am Re publican" His address was easily the feature of the evening, and the only fault with it was it's shortness. Geo. Mintz vas also present and he too spoke, though his remarks could hard ly be considered in the nature of a speech. They were more in the line of suggestions to the club members as to how the club could work to the best advantage.
 There was a fine attendance and the club starts out it's work with plenty of enthusiasm and under the most auspi- cious circumstances. Another meeting

MESA CONTRIBUTES
 ANOTHER CONTESTANT
Martin McCaulIey Starts After One of The Republicans Prizes.

Martin McCaulley yesterday enter ed the lists and became an active contestant for one of The Republicans scholarships. He is a good worker and was instrumental in helping one of his friends to secure second place in The Republicans contest of two years ago. As he made such a good record for his friend it goes without saying that he will be successful in scoring a large number of points and carrying off one of the prizes for himself.
 All of Mesas contestants were ac- tive yesterday and added many new subscribers to the already large list of here. as well as scoring a large number of points for themselves.
 All are proving energetic workers and have the ability and enthusiasm to carry them to victory Their names and their relative standing will appear on another page of this mornings pa per with the other contestants.
 Yesterdays results showed that they are all believers in going after what is worth while" with all the vim and energy necessary to secure it. They are receiving good compensation for their efforts and therefore have much to encourage them in their efforts.

Copper Coating Steel.

Electrical transmission of energy by the overhead system, Whether for street railway, telephone, electric light ing or power purposes, re quires the use of wire or cable of high conduc- tivity in order to avoid heavy losses of power that would result from ar lattempt to overcome the resistance to the passage of the current in metals that are poor conductors Copper is one of the best known conductors and
 possesses non corrosive qualities that are valuable, but copper is expensive and lacks tensile strength. For econ omic reasons tensile strength is a
 most desirable quality in metal used for line work while low cost is, of course, of prime importance. Steel possesses both strength and cheapness
 but is low in cOnductivity and .rusts
 quickly when exposed to the clements
 Foreseeing the value of a combina-
 tion of the desirable qualities ef these
 two metals, inventors and metallurgists have made various attempts to perfect a process of coating steel wire with copper.
 Partial failures convinced a French metallurgist, J. FerreOl MonnOt, that the two metals must be welded tOgeth- CT homOgeneously, and he set to work on the problem. He finally achieved entirely satisfactory results by first cleaning a steel billet six inches in di- ameter and thirty-siX inches long and then welding onto this at high tenn perature a thick coating of soft copper. The copper can be of any desired thickness to suit it to various com mercial purposes. After receiving its copper coat, the billet is relocated and put through ordinary rolls such as are used in steel mills for rolling down steel or iron rods from large billets. The resultant wire, three-eighths of an inch in diameter, is then sent to the drawing mills and drawn into wire of any size down to No. 40 B. & .. gauge if desired. The copper and steel draw down equally and an the final product the copper coating is relatively the same as in the original billet, so that it is easy to determine before hand the precise proportion that the copper will bear to the steel and the actual thick ness of the coat. The thickness is the same throughout the length of the wire and is also perfectly intact.-FrOm New Process for Copper Coating Steel, in october Technical World Magazine.
