TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.

What is the import Of Tuesday :
elections? Are the results satisfae-.
tory to the Democrats? 1t is true.
that local issues had their influence
in some of the states, which may
have some bearing in connection
with the presidential nomination,
for instance New Jersey. Of which
State Woodrow Wilson is the Gov
ernor. and where the Republicans
triumph assures a majority OF the
Legislature for that party.
In New York the Republicans have
reversed the Democratic majority ~
the State Assembly. which must
handicap Governor Dix i'll his poll
cies. Besides, in New York, as in
other states where the Republicans
are in the majority, Republicans will
be elected to the Senate Of the Unit
ed States.
Will the result in New York ano
i'll New Jersey eliminate Governor
Dix and Governor Wilson from con-
sideration as presidential eandi-
dates?
Should the rule apply TO thest
gentlemen. confronted as they ar
with the triumph Of the Republicans
in their states, the leader of thu
Democracy will probably come from
Missouri. with Champ Clark as th'
candidate, and the probable success
or of President Taft.
From these reverses IN New 4ori
and New Jersey there is comfort il
the rejoicing over Kentucky, Wher
the Democrats have defeated tn
Republicans and having a majorlt,
in the Legislature will send q Dem
ocrat to the United States Senate.
IN Massachusetts Foss. Democrat
Is reelected Governor, but thl
State in national election is rella
bly, Republican.
In Maryland the indications ar
that the Democratic candidate TO
Governor. A. p. German, has bee
defeated. together with the const
tntional amendment which was de
signed to disfranchise the negroe
politically
IT the negroes in Maryland, Ohl'
Illinois and other states were dis
franehised as in Louisiana, thes
states would be reckoned with Gel

Number of Recommendations.
The report gives a full statement
of the financial transactions of each
of the five departments of the city,
and of each fund in each depart
ment
In conclusion, number of recon-
mendatiOns are made. The books
should contain record of the city's
assets and liabilities, and should
show exactly what taxes are in
course of collection. The water
department bookkeeping system
should be revised and placed upon
a complete double-entry plan, for
five reasons given. In the engineer
ing department a thorough and full
record should be kept of all labor
and material expended under it's
supervision. The present rule, that
each workman must report daily his
time and any material used, should
be rigidly and consistently enforced.
The library warrants should be re-
ported to the city clerk as soon as
they are issued. Care should be
taken that all library bills or vouch-
ers be authenticated by being en-
dorsed by a member of the finance
committee. All reports of city de-
partments and the library should be
made to the end of the city's fiscal
year and not the calendar year.
In dealing with the various funds,
it is essential to follow these con-
sistently as directed in the charter.
Efforts should be made also to have
detailed and accurate budget esti-
mates prepared ii. e. next Septem-
ber) so that there should even be
as little need as possible to take ad-
vantage of the charter provision en-
fitting other funds to borrow from
the general fund.
Only five separate order books
should be in use simultaneously. i.
e., one for each department.
The city clerks plan to prepare
comprehensive index to all docu-
ments and records in his custody is
commended, as such an index would
prove of great service.
The report covers thirty-eight
| typewriter pages and is carefully
! drawn.

Prepare Plans for Bridges.

County Surveyor Brooks and of
flee force are busily engaged in pre-
pairing the plans for two bridges,
that are to be erected in the near
future. One will be Seventy-foOt
span over the Little Cottonwood, in
section 20, Cambria, and the other
will be siXty-foot span over the
Big Cobb in section IS, Danville.
Both will be steel bridges, although
Mr. Brooks would rather see rein
forced concrete go in, as being more
durable and cheaper in the end.

The parade of the Y. M. C. A. and
Twilight baseball clubs came off last
evening according to schedule, and
attracted much attention. The vari-
Gus clubs rode in automobiles, some
twenty of these vehicles being in
line. The clubs in line were the
Y. M. c. A., Commercial college, nor
NAL school, Brett's. Patterson's,
Omaha depot, retail clerks, bank
clerks, Olson's grocery, Free Press,
South Front street business men,
Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopal,
Baptist, North Mankato Methodist
and Swedish Lutheran teams. Two
or three of the teams wore their
neat new uniforms.
The parade was little late in
getting started, but when the cars
swung off up Second street from
the Y. M. C. A. corner the sight
was pretty one. The cars were
fully lighted, and some had signs
showing which clubs were riding in
them. 1t did not take long to com
plete the line of march, long as it
was, as autos are not handicapped
in the matter of speed. After the
line of march prescribed had been
complied with, the cars continued on
and covered many other streets.
The Twilight league will play
games every evening except Thurs
day at Lewis park, at 6:15 o'clock
sharp. and no admission fee will be
charged to these games.
This afternoon two games were
played at the field, and the field
was formally dedicated at four
o'clock in an address by George M.
Palmer.
The opening of the Twilight league
will take place Monday night at
6:15 sharp. The league will be
opened by a speaker The public is
invited to attend this event. The
first game to be played will be be-
tween the Bretts dry goods store
and bank clerks. Both teams are
in excellent shape and fast ball can
be looked for. The following are
the teams and members: Brett's-
Paul Frecthling, pitcher: H. Spicer,

From Tuesdays Daily.
MeElis, Prize & Co., the account
ants who examined the city books,
say in their report, filed yesterday:
I'VE have found the records in
both the clerks and the treasurer's
offices to be carefully and conscien-
tiously kept; they reflect great credit
on the officials concerned. The
only errors discovered were in con-
nectiOn with disbursements which had
been charged to wrong funds. Ger
rectiOn of these items have now
been made in the books, by making
transfers between the funds affected.
The result of these transfers has
been to produce an overdraft in
two instances, viz: the water and
light fund and the permanent i'm.
provement revolving fund. 1t has
therefore been necessary to replen.
ish the overdrawn funds by bor-
rowing from the general fund, soon
after the end of the fiscal year.
"Some difficulty was experienced
in this audit owing to the fact that
up to July 5, 1910, the previous gov.
ernment's form of books and funds
were continued in use. At that date
however, the council made an ap
portionment of the funds, and in
structed the opening of new fund
| accounts in accordance with the new
charter. AS arranged with you, we
have accepted without verification
the figures of that apportionment al
