Another surprise of the election
was the outcome of the mayoralty
fight in Minneapolis. Not only was
Mayor Haynes the Democrat defeated
but Mr.. Satterlee the Republican was
elected. and most surprising of all.
Mr.. VanLear, the Public Ownership
candidate was defeated by the mar
rowest margin. The socialist move
ment is growing in this country not
only on account of some of the
theories advanced. but also as pro-
test against the methods of both of the
old parties. Late returns give the
election to Haynes.

The landslide to Eberhart was g
surprise to all, for while his election
was generally expected, it was thought
that his majority would not be large.
The great extent tof the Republican
detection from Eberhart is undeni-
able, as it shown by the vote in many
Republican strongholds, but the De
mocratic detection from Gray was just
as large and each offset the other.
The county option question caused
the trouble for each candidate, but
the brewery interests did their work
much more quietly than did the Anti
Saloon League.

The Democrats will have control of
the next national house of represent
ative by large enough majority to
ensure their undoing. Their control
of the legislative branch of the gov
ernment has never been. particularly
successful, but their victory at this
time was more in the nature of a re-
buke to the Republican party than a
desire to give the Democrats control.
The rebuke was administered to the
stand d-pat Republicans of the east
not to the progressive Republicans OF
the west.

One of the stock arguments in
county politics is that the city of
Morris is hoggish in wanting county
offices, and that the large vote of
Morris controls the elections. The
injustice of this statement is again
proven by the outcome of the judge of
probate contest. In the calamity
which befell Brother Bahe, Mr..
Stenger received a majority in all but
four of the precincts of the county.

SUGAR COATED UPLIFT
PILLS INEFFECTIVE.

One OF the most entertaining
characters in present day short stories
is J. Rufus Wallingford, of ample
girth and unlimited selfconfidence,
who is ever making fabulous sums of
real coin through the capitalization of
his ideas and clever avoidance of
legal entanglements. Uplift maga-
zines of the East, which base their eff
forts for helpfulness on the theory that
public will be more easily warned of the
evil if it is presented in fictional form
have printed stories of this placid in
dividual for year or more. In one
of his adventures J. Rufus gains the
good will of a poor inventor with the
idea of converting the rays of the sun
into sufficient power for an electric
light plant Wallingford slaps him
on the back, treats him at the best
hotel and Immediately goes home with
him, accompanied by his expansive
. shirt front and glittering diam onds
and, organizes a series of corporations
to finance the one invention. Natur-
ally the town people are let in on the
ground floor and J. Rufus vanishes,
with the hillsides dotted with sun
motors which never get enough power
to light the factory in which they
were made.
Another recent tale shows him buy
ing a country bank with his nerve and
a few kilograms. He gives his check
for the stock of the retiring presi-
dent. who no longer loves his wife,
borrows money on the paper. threatens
a telegram from Mrs. President and
gets back the check he gave for the
stock.
With J. Rufus presumably known
from coast to coast, comes the tale
from Huron, S. D., that a stranger
signing himself "J. Rufus Walling-
ford, - and adopting the exact tactics
of the hero of fiction, persuades vari-
Gus citizens to part with their cash
while he searches for the site of a
theater for the Shuberts. While
waiting to hear from headquarters the
genial stranger gave game DINNERS.
fraternized with the real estate men
and had a good time until he could
borrow a little money from various
new-made friends and then. moved to
other pastures.
Let it be hoped that the losses of
the South Dakota men are in the ma
ture of investments in education of
other communities of the West, in
which the residents, not taking the
lesson of the short stories, may recall
the name and tactics when strangers
who would invest in large projects
want to borrow money.
