selection TWO years ago was occasioned
BY the loss In the republican vote
caused by the controversy over the
liquor question and the proposed rail-
road commission. neither Of " n
were issues this year.
Some Of our democrat. friends
are charging that the Mormon vote
was influenced By the head o. the
church TO support the republican car
didates. but this contention is MT
borne OF by the result Of the o.es
AS a matter OF fact there was prac-
tlcaliy no progressive sentiment in the
Mormon counties. consequently the
republican vote was not divided. The
democratic vote in those counties Was
about equal that OF two and four years
ago. Ny opponent on the democra -
ticket is al official Of the Mormon
church and ran ahead OF his ticket
in his home county.
The republican majorities in the
Mormon counties are no larger taan
they were four years ago. and not
nearly as large as eight years ago."

Ever since Missouri appeared IN the
republican column in 1904 and won
the sobrique, Of The Mysterious
Stranger the democratic state or

disfranch!semen, OF the negro as an
insurance.. against a repetition. Now

undispu,ed, SO great is their prepon-
derance, i, is understood they intend
TO pu, their threat into effect by en-
acting a grandfather clause similar TO
,hat Of several Of the southern states.
In these, however. the advocates OF
the disfranc hising Law made the pc
cious plea nf fear that of negro DOM

Carolina there are more negroes than

what a world Of common is

"a woman can't run her house

that happiness Is not found in arti-

II Is safe TO say tina, in the last ten
ears there have been no discoveries
OF much Importance, other thar an
isolated mine here and there. Now,
the bringing into production Of isolat-
cd mines Will not sustain the worlds

the discovery o: new districts, where
a number Of mines could be opened.
The discovery OF such a district is no;
impossible. bu, every engineer who is
familiar with the volume of explora-
ton will affirm that the probabilities
are much less now than fifteen years

vacant place not under ice which the

In London alone there are companies
engaged in this exploration work, with
a total capital Of upward VI 1850

ave lost enormously on their explora-

that in placer mining no unknown
