Senator Clay was known as an eHec-

honest in his convictions and so anX-

he gave little attention to mere ornate
ness of speech and he INDUCED in no
witticisms. He was never known to
lose his temper or to be uncivil to
fellow senator or to any one else.
Much of his attention was given TO
economic questions such as the tar

POLITICAL NOTES.

The official count of the vote IN last
TUESDAYS election in the 9TH virginia
district was completed Saturday ana
gives CONGRESSMAN G. b. Slemp, Re-
nublican. a majority of 231 over Henry
G.. Stuart, Democrat. Slemps MAORI
ty two years ago was 4l0o.
Complete returns from Carbon coun-
ty, Montana show that Tolnan. re
publican, has been elected representa-
tive over Pierson, Democrat, by plur-
a,ity of two Complete returns from
Custer county are not expected for
several days.
Beiated returns from the list Cali
fornia Congressional district Saturday
wiped out the plurality of 81 votes by
which w. +. Eaglebright Republican,
led John E. Baker, Democrat. AS the
precincts still missing are in counties
carried by Baker the election of Baker
seemed assured.
Final counts show that while Demo-
cratic gains We're made, both branch
Is of the Illinois Legislature will have
Il Republican majority. There will be
81 Republicans, 70 Democrats, one
I'rohibitionist and one Independent in
the House. Nearly a dozen of the Re-
publicans made their campaign on a
Progressive Republican platform and
up to the present have made no al
lance with the regular branch. In the
Senate there will be SO Republicans
and Is Democrats, with a contest like
~ in the 18th district Ill Chicago.
The latest election returns from Ne
vada indicate that the coming Legis-
iature will be Democratic. by from
three to five votes. While the Assembly
is likely to be Republican by one or
two. AS the candidates of both parties
agreed to abide by the popular vote,
and Nixon, Republican, won the sena-
torial seat on the popular vote by at
least 1000 majority, it is believed he
will be chosen by the Legislature. Rob-
erts, Republican. for Congress, proba-
bly, will have 1900 majority. For COVER
nor, Oddie. Republican, will have APP
proxima tely SEQ majority, but the leu

Harvard Favorite
for Championship.

Boston. Nov 13.---The big game of
the football season will come next Sat
urday, when Harvard will meet Yale at
New Haven. If Harvard wins. and
that results appears probable. the
Crimson will be the unQueStioned
champion of the East. if not of the
country. An unexpected Yale victory
such as the Blue scored over Prince
ton, would lead to- mixed feelings on
the question as to which team proper
ly belongs the mythical honor OF
champion \ victory by the Blue
probably would bring Pennsylvania in
To consideration. Yale in any event
can secure no higher place.
At the present stage of the season,
Harvard easily leads the Eastern col
leges. Annapolis is accorded second
place. Princeton third, despite yester-
days defeat by Yale: Pennsylvania is
given fourth. West Point fifth. Cornell
sixth and Yale seventh.
1t was believed that the inter sec
tional games of Saturday, between
Pennsylvania and Michigan and Cor
nell and Chicago would offer a basis
for comparison between the East and
West. but this is not accurately pos
sble. Chicago which was badly beat
en- by Cornell has been but poor
performer in the West. while Michi-
CAMS tie game with Pennsylvania and
vice versa leaves no solid ground for
comparison Minnesota and Illinois
are the leading Western college teams,
and neither Michigan nor Chicago have
Vet met them.
Saturdays games brought the most
notable injuries of a season practically
without them previous. Capt, Monk of
the West Virainia team died and Chat

who was injured in the game with

Election Turns Prices
Down Instead Of Up,
Prediction Buyers Turn to
Become Eager Sellers.
Many Dlsquieting influences A.
feet Speculative Sentiment.

New York, Nov 13.-The elections
proved to be a turning point in the
stock market, but not in the direction
anticipated by the speculative element.
For weeks before, nearly every one
who took part in the speculation has
been buying and bidding up stocks on
the assumption that the passing of the
elections would release waiting de-
nand which would afford an absorp-
tive medium for profit-taking sales.
The condition was that every specula-
tive holder was determined to sell
stocks on the day after election. what
ever the political result might disclose.
The general outside demand was en-
tirely lacking. The abrupt decline in
prices resulting from the realizing
sales demonstrated how narrow and
restricted has been the circle of the
participation in the operations preced-
ing the election from which it resulted
that al! previous buyers were turned
into eager sellers.
The pre- election movement was baS-
ed on correct forecast of the political
oVerturn but the extent Of the reversal
was greater than looked for and dis
furbed financial sentiment by the new
possibilities presented by anticipation,
it is believed, it was expected to oper-
ate as a check on radical legislation
tendencies by a division of power
which would offer obstacles to action
Instead there was offered for consid-
GRAFTON the prospect of a coming trans

1scal and governmental policies diff
cult to predict with accuracy.
WIN the passage of the political
1actofS ana the failure of their expect
ed effect, other doubtful factors de-
rived new force. The position of the
banks, the money market and capital
supplies as Well as the labor outlook
came forward again and asserted their
influence. Corporations that seek to
secure new capital are confronted with
the condition that after months of al
most total abstention from new issues.
the best terms offered by banking syn
dicates are considered practically pro-
hibitive.
The sustained high cost of living
and the difficulty thus engendered of
terms for wages of labor go hand in
hand with the problem of return on
capital The persistent growth of the
excess of bank loans over deposits is
allied to it. So. also. is the keen de-
mand for currency and credits by in
terror banks which came to the New
York banks again last week. Renewed
attention is again called IN the expand
ed loan position involved in the crop
nnving demands.
