BY DEMOCRATS AT SUGGESTION
MEETINGS LAST NIGHT.
Candidates for Board Of Control suo-
sested in Second and Third
Wards.

The Democrats OF the city held their
suggestion meetings last night. In
the calls sent out by the City Commit
tee the meetings were called for the
purpose OF suggesting candidates for
city council and city committeeman,
but In two OF the wards the call OF the
committee was overstepped and can
didates for the Board Of Control were
suggested.
In the Third ward there were doings
that looked rather queer TO the limo
cent bystander. and the deep political
knowledge OF those in charge was
manifested In a strange and wonderful
manner. When the chairman OF the
meeting announced that suggestions
for the Board OF Control were in order.
Frank p. Daily. a well known Demo
crat. strenuOusly protested on the
ground that the call for the meeting
did not include the suggestion OF can
didates for the Board of Control. Mr..
Daily was ruled out OF order. his pro-
test severely ignored and forthwith
the names OF John Warehouse and
Fred Strasser were suggested for the
Board OF Control.
In the Second ward seven candi-
dates for the Board OF Control were
suggested.
The meetings were all fairly well at
tended except the one I'm the Seventh
ward, where only six Democrats con-
gregated at the Island hose house.
In several OF the wards there were
no contests. and in these wards there
will hardly be a primary election I'M
less other candidates for the Board
OF Control come out

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
The State of South Dakota, Executi

The State of South Dakota, Executive
Chambers.
The benefcent hand of an allwise
Providence has again brought us to that
season in which, according to American
custom, a day is proclaimed and set
apart as day of prayer and praise.
Throughout various sections of the
country, the year that is dying has been
one of unusual drouth and portions of
our state have been numbered among
the sufferers. Be that as it may, the
causes for our Thanksgiving are still
manifold.
The temporary cloud of depression,
resultant of the adverse weather condi-
tions of the past season, is passing and
through its shadows appears, undimmed
and unfaiing, the crystalline star ofcon-
stant hope. We yet continue to enjoy
in full measure those rights and privi-
leges, the way for the attainment Of
which was paved in the long ago by the
Pilgrim Fathers, who inaugurated our
National Thanksgiving custom, and for
this our hearts may we'll be truly CRATE
| full
1t is evident that intellectually and
morally our citizenship has made mark
ed advancement and although progress
may be slow it is, nevertheless, sure,
and, little by little, the vital facts of true
living are being better recognized by our
states people.
Therefore, l, R. S. Vessey, Governor
of the State of South Dakota, in conjunc-
tion with the proclamation of the Presi-
dent of the United States, hereby ap-
point AZ Thanksgiving day, Thursday,
November 80, A. d. 1911, and recon.
mend the day to the entire citizenship
of the state as one of rest from the usual
occupations and pursuits, to be dedicat-
ed by South Dakota's people to thanks.

God, in becoming appreciation of His

progress received from His hand through.

homes, for the maintenance of the pub

ings, let US render thanks to Him, pray

CUSTER 49,,
CON GRBSSMAN MARTIN
WILL SUPPORT TAFT.


| Congressman Martin does not hesitate
in bis allegiance to President Taft, and
gives cogent reasons why he will sup
port him and his measures during the
coming session of congress in the follow
ing brief interview, which is pertinent
and to the point:
81 shall support the nomination and
reelection of President Taft. He was
called to the presidency four years ago
as the unanimous choice of republicans
and nothing has since occurred to justify
his desertion by anyone who desires the
supremacy of republican policies.
"The big questions of the next admin
istration are the tariff, the regulation of
corporations, and the promotion of uni
yersal peace. On all of these questions
the President is sound and aggressive.
He insists upon schedule byschedule
revision of the tariff, upon a scientific
basis representing the difference in cost
of production at home and abroad. This
is the most advanced republican doctrine
on the tariff. Only by holding to this
position can republicans hope to win be-
fore the American people. This is to-
tally different proposition from a demo-
cratic revision framed up for political
convenience to put somebody in hole.
The President is the foe of private mon.
opoly and upholds the law of free COM
petition and equal industrial opportun-
ity to all men. While Taft is President
corporations must operate lawfully or
cease to do business in interstate CON-
merce. Tah's arbitration policy, like
the peace of Portland of the Roosevelt
administration, will mark an epoch in
our progress towards universal peace.
''The President is a great, conscient-
ious, strong American. His heart is in
full sympathy with the cause of the peo-
Pile. He is the only man whom republi-
cans can hope to nominate and elect in
1912.
"The great body of South Dakota peo-
pie are fair minded and Just. They will
have full opportunity to assert their
loyalty to the President and his admin
istration. State and county Taft clubs
should soon be organized throughout
the state. The undercurrent of Taft
sentiment is strong in all parts of the
state and will be manifest in the June
primaries. My opinion is that the
delegates from South Dakota to the next
republican convention will be for Taft"

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Demands of Labor Outlined President
Gompers Makes His Annual
Report.

President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor, in ses.
sion at Atlanta, Georgia, in his report
submitted to the delegates of the 3lst an.
nual convention, predicted great changes
in American methods of Government,
particularly with regard to political par.
ties. He gave to the referendum, init.
ativs and the recall, the unqualified en-.
dorsement of organized labor and de.
clared that real represen tative democ.
racy had never been known in the
United States, because of the general
absence of these provisions.
President Gompers report which cov-
ers go closely printed pages and would
make more than 80 columns in a news
paper, says it leaves many subjects un-
touched or inadequately presented.
In the main the report declares for,
and says organized labor demands:
The referendum, the initiative and
the recall.
Passage of the 80 called sntijunction
bills at the next session of Congress.
Restriction of immigration.
Further restriction of convict labor.
Legislation to relieve civil service en-
ployees from the executive orders pro-
hibiting them to petition Congress.
Uniform laws for protection of life
and health in factory buildings.
A department of labor in the Federal
government.
Employers liability and work mems
compensation acts through out the
States.
Severe arraignment Is made of So
called scientific or efficiency systems.
With its membership now more than
l,750000, the greatest in its history,
and its financial condition excellent, the
organization, often called the greatest
altruistic institution of the times, enters
the 3lst year of its work.
The membership of the order was
never SO great. According to Secretary
Morrison's report, its financial condition
is excellent. The treasury shows bal
ance of nearly 100000 on hand. Nearly
$5, 900, 900 was disbursed in support OF
strikes by the various unions which are
affiliated with the Federation. During
1911 the Federation issued 1926 charters
to unions, bringing the total of its organ
ization membership to 1,464. In indi-
vidual membership the Federation
gained nearly 10000 during the year

Origin Of Bumper Glass.

When a glass is full as it possibly
can be of liquor the surface of the liquor
is slightly convex and the center lies
higher than the brim. In view of this
fact, such glassful is called bumper,
because the liquor bumps up, or pro-
trudes in the middle.

OMAHA MARKET LETTER.
UNIoN Stock YARDS, !
So. Omaha, Nov. II, 1911.
Receipts this week with comparison !:



Receipts were tolerably liberal for this
time Of the year and carried a very fair
percentage of more or less corn fed
steers. Owing to the liberal supplies of
western rangers and the bad condition
of eastern beef and cattle markets the
trade has been very unsatisfactory one
and except for the good choice grades,
values are 40 "a SOC lower than a week
ago. Some choice yearlings brought
$7.75 and really prime beeves would
command $500 or more. Cattle good
enough to cell around $500 or above
have held about steady all week. 1t has
been the short fed and warmed up grades
that have suffered. Western range
beeves have been in very good demand
and quotably steady all week and the
same is true as to desirable cows and
heIfers. Best range beeves easily bring
IS 90 or more and best cows and heifers
$500. Most ofthe grass beefsells around
$5.25 q 1915 and most of the cow stuff
is selling at a range of 1886 a. $40.
Veal calves, bulls, stays, ETC., are quot
ably fully steady all around. A very
good business has been done in stock
ers and feeders and a very good clear.
ance for the week has been made. De-
sirable grades of all weights are possibly
little stronger than week ago while
medium and common kinds are just a
shade lower and rather slow sale.
