"DRYS" PLAN new FIGHT
If Defented Yesterday, County Option
lists Will Demand Vote in 1912.

If advocates of a county option
law failed to elect majority of the
Minnesota legislature yesterday
they have another string to their
bow. They will not give up the
fight for county option until both
houses have been put on record, but
after that is done, the legislatures
will be asked to pass a bill submit.
ting the question of county option to
vote Of the people in 1912.
County optionists hope to secure
additional votes for such a bill, on
the plea that the people should have
a right to register their wish on
a question that has aroused so much
interest. They will work also for
the initiative and referendum, but
that is slow method of getting
what they want. An amendment
giving that power to the the people
would have to be submitted in 1912,
and could not be made effective
until two years later. The county
option referendum could be given
by a special act.
The Minnesota Anti-saloon
league will have meeting in
Minneapolis on Nov. IS. 1t will
canvass the results of the election
and make it plans for going be.

Minnesota's $4,000, 900 Fire Tax.

On another page of this issue
the Property Owners Federation
publish this Bulletin No IS which
is bold and vigorous citation of
facts that calls for the earnest
consideration and careful attent-
ion OF those who are paying the
$9,ooo,ooo annual fire tax of this
state. L.. e
In reference to this business
mems movement the Winona Re-
public an. Herald makes the follow.
ing terse remarks.
The leading business men of St.
Cloud, representing over 100000
insurance, have made an earnest ap.
peal to the fire insurance tax payers
of this state for cooperation in re.
ducing these tax assessments in the
smaller cities and towns.
They say: THE large city fires;
the abnormal expense ratio of the
stock fire insurance companies; the
moderated millionaire risks are fac
tors that absorb over one-half of the
present premium tax of the smaller
cities and towns. These abuses can
all be corrected and these burdens
eliminated from the fire tax of these
smaller municipalities by proper
management"
This appeal gives special emphasis
to the campaign of the Property
Owners Federation.
When the fire insurance tax payers
of Rhode Island can pool So, 644, 900
of their annual fire tax-pay losses
and expenses, maintain their legal
reserve and pay $7.696,000 back to
the policy holders it is about time for
our western premium payers to pro.
fit by Rhody's experience.
1t certainly is worth while for any
business man to give careful con-
sideration to P. o. F. Bulletion No.

Hayner Makes Poor Showing in City,
Running Third on Ticket in
Sucker Race.
STANTON MAKES CLEAN SWEEP
Eberhart Carries Town by Substantial
Vote Over Gray County Ticket
Largely Republican.

With returns in from So precincts
out of the 81 precincts in Beltrami
county, the contest for sheriff be.
tween A. B. Hazen, republican, and
Thomas Bailey, independent, is in
doubt.
The total vote of these precincts
gives Bailey 873 and Hazen 1850,
giving the present Sheriff a lead of
III.
On the face of it this would in.
dictate the election of Mr.. Hazen
but Mr.. Bailey does not concede
it and points to the primary
election returns to prove his own
election practically is assured.
At the primaries, Mr.. Hazen's
vote in the same precincts now in
Was considerably heavier over his
opponent, Mr.. Johnson, than it
is over Mr.. Bailey and if Mr..
Bailey continues at the percent
age of gain shown over Johnson,
he has chance to win out.
The missing precincts are looked
upon by the Bailey forces as their
strongholds. In Bemidji, the vote
for sheriff was:
Hazen,-First ward, 70; second
ward, 101; third ward, 169; fourth
ward, 143.
Bailey,-First ward. 10; second
ward, SO; third ward, 90; fourth ward,
81.
This gives Hazen a total of 491
votes to Bailey's 337 votes, a lead
for Hazen in the city of Bemidji of
154 which reduces his vote in similar
contests in previous years.
The result in Baudette and
Spooner and other voting precincts
in the northern end of the county
where Bailey is presumed to be
strongest has not been received.
A factor which appears to be
working against Bailey is the pro-
nounced showing of the socialist
vote in favor of Hazen.
For county attorney, Alvin M.
Crowell, independent, is giving
Henry Funkley, the republican
nominee, hard fight. OF the pre-
cincts now in Funkley has a total of
S12 to Crowell's 742, giving Funkley
a lead of Is.
The vote in Bemidji for governor
stands by wards as follows: Eber-

Gray, rs, 81. 81, 81. Total, 272.
Barrett, 10, Is, 81, rs. Total, 70.
This gives Eberhart a plurality of
120 in the city of Bemidji.
Judge Stanton made a clean
sweep of all wards in the city.
His vote stands, First ward,
Stanton 152 to Keefe's 20; second
ward, Stanton 162 to Keete's "a;
third ward, Stanton, 1873; Keefe,
81; fourth, Stanton, $50; Keefe,

652 to 1873 for Keefe, majority
for Stanton of 517.

unpopular tariff law and increased
cost of living, at the general election
yesterday the republicans sustained
the most decisive defeat since the
memorable landslide of 1882.
Not only did several states elect
democratic governors but the up.
heaval has changed the national Con-
gress into democratic organization,
at least so far as the House is con-
cerned with gains assured for even
the Senate.
The defeat of Henry L. Stimson,
Roosevelt's candidate for governor
of New York, was so decisive as to
convince many that the power of
the mighty lion hunter has been
broken never to rise again. John
A. Dix, democratic candidate, won
over Stimson by approximately 65,-
900.
By his election as governor of
New Jersey over Vivian NJ. Lewis,
republican, by $4,000, Woodrow
Wilson, who resigned as president
of Princeton University to enter
politics, at once becomes a national
character in that he must now be
considered in the list of candidates
for the democratic nomination for
president in 1912.
Eugene Foss reversed the usual
republican plurality IN Massa-
chusetts, defeating Governor
Draper by upwards of 10000
The same thing happened in
Connecticut where Judge Bald
win defeated Charles A. Goodwin,
the republican nominee, by 7, 900,
reversing the previous republican
plurality of $1,000
Hanson, most talked of as a
democratic presidential possibility,
was reelected over Warren c..
Harding, republican, by probably
more than $4,000 votes. sub
stantial gain over his record of
two years ago.
In New Hampshire, Robert P.
Bass, republican candidate for gov
ernor, edged out a victory over
Charles E. Carr by a plurality of
probably less than 5000.
John K. Tener, republican, was
elected governor of Pennsylvania by
large majority.
Ben. w. Hoover, fusion candidate,
was elected governor of Tennessee
by $4,000 plurality.
In Iowa, Claude R. Porter, demo.
crat, was elected governor over Gov
ernor Carroll, republican, present exc
cutive. Porter's plurality probably
will be close to 5000, but rural dis.
tricts are reducing it.
Francis E. McGovern, republican,
was elected governor of Wisconsin
and La Follette's return to the Sen.
ate is assured.
In Indiana, the returns now in in
dictate that Senator Beverage has
been defeated in his efforts to secure
republican legislature. This would
mean the election of John w. Kern
as United States Senator to replace
Beveridge.
Democratic governors were elect.

U. S. Senators to be retired as a

HOUSEHOLD NOTES
BY Maude E. ciIIsy.

To make a delightful summer break
fast dish, fry sliced apples in the
pan from which breakfast has just
been taken and serve them with the
bacon laid around them.
The garbage can should be cleaned
thoroughly at least once week with
hot suds, rubbed in with an old broom
and then rinsed with a solution of
washing soda or lye.
When stafching colored summer
fabrics, it is a good idea to use coffee
starch. made by adding two cupfuls
of perfectly clear coffee to the starch
after it has been boiled.
New grease stains can be removed
with cold water and ammonia and
stains of long standing with alcohol
If the stains are on goods that may
fade. apply molasses before wetting.
A cake made without butter needs a
quick oven, a cake with butter. ex-
cept dark spice cakes and fruit cakes,
need a moderately quick oven, and
the spice cakes and fruit cakes need a
slow oven.

will prevent the vase tipping over.
Herb sandwiches are very palat-
able during the hot weather, being
made of lettuce, pepper grass, water
cress, peppermint and chives, all mix
ed together and covered with mayon-
naise dressing.
To remove an obstinate sediment
from a vessel, pour in half a cup oi
vinegar and put into this a heapine
teaspoonful of salt. Let stand hall
a day and then wash with warm wa
ter and soap.
Continued scrubbing with a brush
will roughen a natural wood kitchen
table. It may be cleaned even bettei
without roughening it by using half {
cut lemon and then rinsing with no
water.
When ice water is not available
water may be cooled by placing it il
a tin vessel and covering with
coarse wet cloth. Place if possible
where a breeze will blow on 1t, ant
it will cool by evaporation.
Equal parts of turpentine and am
monia will remove paint from cloth
ing. Soak the spot in the miztur'
and then rub it hard; dip in soapsud
and rub it again. Almost any pain

WASH RIBBON BEST 49,.

Wash ribbon. though it costs more
in the start, is the best choice for
underwear Wash it yourself in not
too hot water with pure soap, and It's
beauty is gretly prolonged.
While colored ribbons are charming
on nightdresses or any garments
where they do not show, they are not
good taste to wear under sheer
blouses, especially to work In.
Warm, soft colors, pinks. blues,
lavender. or canary, with an occasion
al pale green, are the only tones per
missible in underclothing ribbons Of
anv kind. Red and vivid shades or
any kind are not dainty enough.
When you remove the ribbon from
YOUR clothes, wash it at once, OF II
not soiled, press into shape and wrap
At loosely on cards to be in readiness
when wanted. 1t will be found con-
venient, if that for nightdresses is
wound on one card, for corset covers
on another and so on.
If YOU object to running ribbon and
know you will not do It after the
first few times. select a style OF gar
ment that does not require It. Thus
will your reputation for neatness be
saved.
When satin ribbon or others that
connot be washed are used, freshen
them in gasoline or with French
chalk.

COLLEGE GIRLS OUTFIT

Now that September is upon us,
many of our mothers and their daugh-
ters are occupied with the college
outfit. and other needs of the girl who
is going off to school.
The girl who is going to college
for the first time aften makes the
mistake of preparing an elaborate
wardrobe, when, if she we're wise, she
would pack her trunk with the
simplest of garments. A coat sweater
will be one of her most useful pur-
chases and for everyday wear she will
need a plain felt hat trimmed jaunt-
ily with a pretty scarf. AS for gloves
she will find little use for many pairs,
or for long and elaborate ones. Most
thought should be given to smart and
substantial tailor suit. and a number
of we'll fitting, but simple shirt
waists.
Each girl who goes should be pro-
vided with well-equipped mending
basket, as the neatness of her appear
ance will not depend upon the quality
Of clothes she carries, but upon the
condition In which they are kept. The
French girl owes much of the dainti-
ness of her appearance to her thrifty
habit OF taking care of herclothes, re-
moving spots, mending neatly, and
brushing and putting her various gar
ments away carefully.
Another need of the college girl
which it behooves the mother to look
after, is a medicine chest equipped
1-ifb aisDnla homo remadieg
And as your girl starts for college,
Il might be we'll to give her the fol-
lowing "don'ts," which, if she OBJ
serves them, will surely prove con-
sucive TO the happiness and success
u her college life.
Don't boast, pose as exclusive, or
ak braggingly of your home friends,
Don't rush into friendship, the most
desirable girls are rarely the most
.pproachable.
Don't be self-assertive or a know
tall as a stranger. Nothing will SC
urely queer" you.
Don't be stand-offish. Willingness
o meet friends half way is a big as
ct toward popularity.
Don't complain of the food and &C
for general criticism. This enrages
ae old girls who love the school and
xact a school spirit In newcomers.
Don't go in for crushes If your
.hool life is to be broadening and
- wish to be a general favorite.
