Outlook for Democracy

Representative Finley of South Caro-
lima, vice chairman of the democratic
congressional committee, said today that
with the nomination of the New York
democratic congressman tomorrow, and
those in Massachusetts Thursday, the
entire congressional slate would be prac-
tically filled, there being only a stray
district in California, Kansas, Minnesota.
Tennessee, Iowa and Utah. The election
is five weeks from today, and the vice
chairman looks upon 1t as a good sign
that the nominations have already ma
terialized. In addition to this. Mr.. Fin
ley finds that nominations have been
sought after this year more than any
other period that he can recall. Dem
ocratsy even in districts largely repub-
lican, have scrambled after nominations
believing that 1t meant election. Then,
too, most of the nominees are fine, tim
Der, and are sure to get large independ-
ent and dissatisfied republican vote.
Mr.. Finley looks for heavy gains all
along the lakes and Canadian border.
This is not only the report of democratic
election workers sent here to him, but
there has been a big demand for demo-
cratic literature from that section. Some
thing like 100000 campaign speeches have
been distributed upon request. The
speeches of Champ Clark and Senator
Dolliver lead. Probably 100000 more
speeches will go out within the next three
weeks. Fifty thousand campaign books
were printed and are about exhausted.

HARDWOOD CARRIES
LAMAR BY 300 VOTES

Vernon, October 5.-(Special.) Judge
HARDWOOD defeated Daniel Collier Monday
In their second race for the judgeship
of the Sixth district by count of 534
to 1856 votes In this county.
1t is now claimed that HARDWOOD will
carry the district by about 100 majority.
All of the returns have not yet been
received.
An error was made yesterday in the
statement that HARDWOOD carried Tusea-
loosa county. This is not the case, but
Golfers majority was greatly reduced in
this county, 1t being about 500 over Har-
wood. Judge Harwood carried all of the
nine counties In the district with this sin
gle exception. 1t is-.claimed.
This is the second primary held by these
two candidates, as the regular primary
held May 8 was declared void by the
state democratic committee on account
of alleged fraud on both sides.

HEAVY PRODUCTION
AND SMALL SALES
Pig Iron Market Is Very Busy
in One Direction
SHIPMENTS FALL OFF
Steel Pipe Which Shows Some
Changes In Sizes and Re-
auctions In Price

Cleveland, o., October 5.-(Special)-
The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will
say:
Production of surprisingly heavy ratio
and sales at very moderate rate have
characterized the pig iron market FOR
the past month.
The total pig iron production for Sep
TENDER was 2,044,4s0 TONS or 59,R13 tons
less than in August; but as August had
One more day than September the daily
average for the latter month was larger
than for the former The figures being
6S,14S tons for September and 67,s64 tons
for August
The shipments of iron ore from the
Lake Superior ranges for September
amounted to 6,27s.S34 tons, compared with
T,05O9s5 tons in September, 1909. The
total shipments to October /. 1910, were
IS, 100S64 tons, compared with %, 639, 533
tons for this same period last year.
The buying of pig iron has proceeded
very cautiously. and although in some
parts of the country, particularly in the
east, there is more interest; actual sales
are few. The Inland Steel company,
which expects to blow its furnaces for
repairs some time during the winter. pur-
chased 10000 tons of basic at about $14. 65
delivered at its plant at Indiana Harbor.
Ind, 5000 tons to be shipped by water
from Cleveland and the remainder to be
furnished by South Chicago furnace. A
stove foundry at Bedford, o., purchased
$500 tons. partly northern and partly
southern, iron.
Much interest has been aroused by the
action of the National Tube company
and independent interests In issuing a
new price card for steel pipe. The card
represents a classification which has long
been under discussion, but action at this
time was not expected The change in
price on sizes of which the greatest ton
mage is sold are moderate. ranging from
reductions of 81 to "a to advances of 81 to
"a per ton. But on extra strong pipe
of which a relatively small tonnage is
sold, reductions range from IS to $40. The
effect of this revision of prices on quo
tations of other finished products is un-
certain. A feature of the new card Is
that for the first time distinction Is
made between the prices of lap weld and
butt weld pipe. Manufacturers of iron
pipe will announce revised prices this
week.
