A weII-deEned movement 10 insist
upon a conuibutory pension plan for
Government clerks was inaugurated to-
day among members OF the Civil Service
Retirement Association
They declare they VIII make an ef-
fort TO urge this scheme, as they believe
Il 20 be the only method by which
pensions may be obtained at al. While
a straight pension IS what the asso-
citation wants, they say, the chances
for getting Congress 70 pass such 2
measure are almost nil, therefore the
best move under the circumstance Is
70 compromise on the C0nTibutory plan
The position Of the element of the as

EFFORT WORTH WHILE

Every vote recorded in the totals of
candidates is for bona fide subscrip-
tious, At no time during the contest
were votes allowed unless the cash was
paid in and the names of the sub
scribers furnished at the same time.
The books of the company are now
open to any person or persons who de-
sire to inspect them as to the correct
ness of the votes issued. Every re-
cejpt and every subscription was issued
in duplicate.
The effort put forth by candidates
was certainly worth while, The Trib-
une and Telegram contributed over
$4,000 in prizes in exchange
for subscriptions secured by can
didates. The Winton Six, for
instance, is certainly worth every
effort put forth by the capital
prize winner Take the list OF awards
all the way down the line and in each
instance the reward is commensurate
with the work put forth by those who
won them. in one or two instances,
perhaps candidate should have been
given better prize, but to do this now
would obligatc giving every contestant
nm equal prize. This of course, is out
of the question. That the effort has
been worth while is hest answered by
the candidates themselves.

Votes Cast
by Active
Workers

This number does not include
ballots cast by contestants who en-
tered the contest from time to
time and afterward dropped out.
If these latter votes were taken
into consideration, the number Of
ballots cast would undoubtedly
reach the 2O,OOO,0oO mark. This
is a remarkable record and is sig
nificant of the immense amount of
interest centered in the good nat
ured tug Of war To better realize
the enormity Of the vote total of
the capital prize winner, it might
be well to state that but 10000
votes were allowed for a new
yearly subscription to The Daily
Tribune and but 5000 votes for
old. To the Telegram but 1900
votes were issued for a new year
ly subscription and but 2250 votes
for an old yearly subscription.
For the number ov votes cast
the $4,000 contest undoubtedly
surpasses anything Of its kind
ever inaugurated in Utah or the
west That these votes were cast
means that bona fide subscrip-
tions were paid in and an inlzling
Of the increase Of circulation for

is no disgrace in defeat The experience gained

again wish to thank every candidate for his or
her participation in the contest; they rejoice
with the winners, and offer coincidence and

BANKERS DISCOURAGE
 SPECULATIVE MOVES
Substantial Advances In Special
 Stocks to Market Pools.

New York, Oct. 6-There was a relapse into 1istlessness in speculation in stock and operations were hesitat- ing and without marked initiative; a sharp reaction during the day result ed in considerable Encouragement to movements for rise. It is the cur rent suppOsition that an organization recently formed to conduct a market movement on an enlarged scale had encountered opposition in the form af free offerings from bankers and from insiders which acted as an admoni- tion that these interests were out of sympathy with the attempt to con duct extensive speculation at .his time.
 The immediate condition in the To- cal money market is somewhat easier with the passing away of the effects of the october money payments. The interior demand for cash begins to reassert its influence. Sub treasury absorption of funds also goes on al- though it is moderated from the de- mands of last week.
 There was renewed attention paid to stocks known as specialties. which are. often subject to individual influ-

Buckeye alfalfa seed is now selling for higher price than ever before. ac- cording to H. A. Hammels, a we'll known Liberty farmer, who is now in Phoenix The seed brings IA cents per pound, f O. b. Buckeye.
 At the present time the second crop is being harvested It will total about the bulk of the first crop and indica- tions are that the average price per pound will be or cents higher.
 The first crop started out at 12% cents and ever since then alfalfa seed has been going up. There is every possibility that before the second crop has all been sold, an even higher price than 141k cents will be touched

tion, which was held September 12-17 was one of the most interesting and instructive in the history of the as- sociation. While nothing of a radi- cal nature was introduced, the edu- cational feature of the gathering was not to be overestimated The dele- gates engaged in an interchange of thought and suggestion which cannot fail to be of wide benefit to every To- cal represented.
 It is likely that as a result of the discussions held during the convention that a number of important changes will be made in the constitution of the national body. These changes, MT. Wiley stated, have become necessary because of the greatly increased mem- bership and the probability that the association is just about entering up on a period of exceptional growth. Whatever changes are made will be put to a vote of every member after the usual referendum plan.
 Following the reception in Lam son Hall, the party repaired to the Hoffman Cafe where covers for twelve had been laid and proceeded to do jus tice to one of thte daintiest hanquets Mine Host Hoghe ever placed before similar gathering. From the con- somme and blue points, down to the black coffee and cigars, every detail of a well appointed banquet was carefully looked after. Following the serving of the banquet proper, those gathered at the board fingered long over the coffee and cigars recounting various incidents connected with sta tionary engineering and then all de- parted after voting each and every other one the best of fellows.
