The Ordway new era., 1912-04-05
There's Going To
BeaLongDr DrySpell
Vets Showed Under Tuesday
By an Increased Majority
Sugar City Goes Wet
We're pretty dry, thank you.


After one OF the livliest campaigns
ever witnessed In Ordway, the "drys"
went to the polls Tuesday and cleaned
up everything In sight and then looked
around for something else to grab.
There seemed to be considerable
regarding the candidate for mayor.
II. G. Tiedemann having been nomin
ated by the "drys" and afterwards
endorsed by the "wets." This senti-
ment crystalized Tuesday morning in
the announcement OF G. II. Green and
James O'Connell as independent can.
didates for the Office OF mayor. How
ever, returns would seem to indicate
that good many who were loudest
In their protests against the regularly
nominated candidate reconsidered
their decision when 1t came to casting
their votes, as Mayor Tiedemann was
reelected by a vote OF l27 to II for
Mr.. O'Connell and CT for Mr.. Green.
or course the main interest OF the
day centercd In the proposition
whether Ordway should reverse its
vote creating anti.saloon territory.
This proposition was overwhelmingly
defeated, the vote standing ls9 against
to 20 for the reversal. This would
seem to Indicate that the sentiment
for a dry town is growing, as the "wets"
failed to poll as large a vote as that OF
two years ago, when the total for the
"wet proposition was 10 and the vote
against was 1870. Four years ago the
''dry" proposition carried by only 10
majority. This year the majority Is
ll9.
The Law and Order party carried
their entire list OF nominees for town
trustees by safe maJorities. The
figures on these will be found 10 the
tabulated statement below.
The proposition to allow the mayor
and trustees $l.50 for attendance at
each regular meeting carried by the
smallest majority Of all, 81.
The total registration was 4lO, but
number OF these we're found to be
illegal, the actual legal registration
being about $50. 1t will thus be seen
that about 100 who registered failed
to vote.
Following is the complete vote:

LORIMER LOSING SUPPORT
Says He Will Speak In Senate in
About Two Weeks.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. juno Although some of
his colleagues are under the impression
that Senator Iormer intends TO resign.
and others believe he will not. he main
tained a non-committal attitude to-day,
saying that when he had a statement to
make he would make II on the floor OF the
Senate.
There Is no question that the number or
Senators OH whose votes he had counted
is dwindling. and that IL will dwindlo still
further II he insists on having the issue
brought TO a vote. lie has been urged Tor
this reason 10 relieve them OF putting
themselves OH record and TO avoid being
put out Of the Senate by decisive ma
jority. At times he has shown signs or
waverng. and has even gone to the ex-
tent. It Is said, Of saying that he would
resign In due time. Several Senator'S who
are making the night for him are not In
clined TO place much credence In this re-
port. They point out that the time for re-
signing with any show of good grace has
passed. and that the fight has gone too
far for him TO retire now.
While refusing to deny or confirm the
reports OF his intention to resign, Senator
Lorimer did say that he would speak In
his own defence In about two weeks. and
would then state the facts OF the case.
Whatever his purpose may be. there will
be no cessation OF hostilitles by those who
are determined TO bring the case to an end.
They have rejected the suggestion that a
vote be deferred until after the conven-
ton. Senator Kern probably will resume
his speech tomorrow.

JENNINGS IN DUAL LIGHT
Either Erred in Judgment or
Coveted Riches, Say Lawyers.

Defence and prosecution summed up yes
terday at the trial of Herbert 7. Jennings,
former president OF the Mount Vernon Ma
tional Bank. and of Samuel K. Raymond.
once cashier of the institution. The two
men were charged with fnsapplicstion of
the banks funds Judge Mayer will In
struct the Jury this morning. and a verdict
is expected before the close Of the DAY.
George Gordon Battle for the defence,
told the jury that the building schemes
which led Jennings into trouble were all OF
the most promising character. and that II
they had come out as well as the defend
ants had reason 10 expect the bank would
have sustained no losses. 1t was an error
of Judgment he said. and not fraud.
Isaac H. Levy. Assistant United States
Attorney, said the case resolved itself into
the proposition Of who really rtsked the
money. In all these schemes in which the
money of the Mount Vernon bank was used
so freely, Mr.. Levy said, all the bank
could gain was per cent. while Jennings.
without risking a cent of his own, dreamed
of making millions for himself
Incidentally Mr.. Levy pointed out how
Jennings, who testified that he had more
than $4,000 before the crash, was penni-
less now. while securities and property
once belonging TO him were found trans
ferred TO the name OF his sster-in-law.
The governments case has been some

Miss Lillian May Wilson. once the conf
Dental secretary of the indicted banker
