A young clerk went to D. H.
Tolman's office a few months ago
to borrow money; his wife was
very i'll and he needed cash for
nurses, doctors care and medi-
cines.
He borrowed from the Tolman
place $72 in cash, for which he
was required to sign a contract
agreeing to repay the money az
the rate of $5.95 for twenty con-
secutive weeks.
For $72 the shark demanded
that he be repaid $110 i'm a per-
iOd of five months; this is charg-
ing interest at the rate of more
than 200 PER CENT A MONTH.
This victim has already paid
the Tolman outfit sS3.30-which
is about 81 more than the shark
Is entitled to by law; now he is
bounded at his place of business
for the balance" of the $119 and

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Realiza-
tion of just how great victory
they had won, came to the DEM
ocratic hosts of the nation to-
day. Last night they had sensed
victory and rejoiced, but today
the scope of what it meant was
dawning on the laeders and every
one of the party chieftains was
solemn in the face of the respon-
sibhities theS viii now be re-
quired to shoulder.
Wilson and Marshall had car
ried 35 of the 4S states in the
Union. In the others they had
run second and some of them
were recorded against democracy
by comparatively narrow mar
gins. In Pennsylvania and Mich
igan the vote was very close, and
these two states represented a to-
tai of SO votes in the electoral
college.
Wilson goes into power with
combined democratic senate and
house behind him. This means
that he will be able to enact
whatever legislation he and the
party chieftains believe necessary.
Wilson is expected to assume
the leadership of his party in both
houses of congress Immediately.
He is on record as declaring that
he believes when the American
people commission a president to
follow out certain line OF action
they expect him to make good.
And those who know Wilson best
expect him to make specific
recommendations to congress ana
then if that body doesn't act, to
go directly to the people for need
ed support to put Through the
suggested plans.
1t was this fact that caused the
democratic leaders to take stock
today. The returns from the
various states were analyzed and
their meaning sensed. The Will
son landslide had been great
enough to carry into office demo-
cratic state tickets in many states.
Even where Wilson had failed TO
get through, the swing had gone
on, and Michigan and Illinois,
carried by Roosevelt, elected dem
ocratic governors.
Massachusetts gave Wilson ap-
proximately $4,000 plurality and
emphasized its liking for Eugene
N. Foss by tacking 10000 to this
figure for the democratic COVER
nor.

SHARK TOLMAN DEMANDS
200 PER CENT. INTEREST

Not being particularly anxious
to attract further attention to
their methods of doing business,
the loan sharks are quietly send
ing their agents about the city
in an attempt to ''fix" cases where
they have been guilty of charg-
ing usurious rates of interest.
In some cases a receipt in full
has been handed to men who a
fortnight ago were called de
linquents" by the loan sharks
and against WHOM all sorts of
dire punishment was threatened
if comfortable buncn of money
for fake interest charges were
not forthcoming.
Many victims of the loan sharks
continue to come to the Times
office, and in each and every In
stance the rates charged are
usurious and in violation of the
law.
Here is another example:

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Based up

SEATTLE, Nov. 6.-AlthOugh
there is no definite or official fig
ures to substantiate it, the indi-
cations are today that Ernest Lis
ter, democrat, is elected COVER
nor by a margin of probably 81
900 votes, with Hodge and Hay
fighting neck and neck for Sec
Ond place.
The returns, official and unof-
fetal, thus far counted, however,
are so meager that no positive
prediction can be made. Returns
from the country districts and
from Eastern Washington may
change the apparent outcome.
The result was still in doubt
at noon with the three candidates
running neck and neck. Late re-
turns, however, show that Hodge
Is gaining over Lister, and Hay
Is apparently dropping well into
third place. Lister has a small
lead on the face of returns al
ready in.
The majority of the state pro-
gressive ticket is probably elect
ed, and the progressive ticket in
this county has won.
The democrats generally voted
their ticket straight and all can
didates of the party are running
close to Lister.
Forty-five complete precincts OF
King county give Lister 1,69s,
Hay 1,460, Hodge 1908.
On the other hand, Hodge has
apparently carried Snohomisn,
kitsap and Thurston counties.
The lead gained in the county
may make him a contender with
Lister for first place.
Indications point to a sweeping
victory of Congressman Warbur-
ton over Albert johnson and
Munday. Warburton leads in all
Pierce county precincts, and with
the vote that is yet to be heard
from in the southwest, which is
strong for Warburton, it looks
like a sure Warburton victory.
