ARMoRY RENTALS WORRY

There appears to be more or less
difficulty at several places in the state
at present in regard to armory rentals
vouchers coming to the state auditor
beng looked upon by that depart
ment as not in compliance with law.
The trouble appears to be that rent
ais have been allowed to get behind

coming IN are to cover time back of
the beginning of the present fiscal
year, and such bills are failing to re.
ceive the endorsement of the auditor
All bills for rentals within the fiscal
year since July first are being cared
for. but nothing back of that time
can be allowed by the department,

the trouble.

THE LATE ELECTION

The election of 1912 is an epoch
making event. When the returns are
all tabulated we can see to what ex-
tent they show an increase In the
democratic strength an how far we
are indebted to the republican party.
for the division in it ranks. When
the facts are all known, it will be
possible to survey and discuss the
situation with intelligence. At this
time we know enough to realize that
the magnitude of the victory imposes
upon the democratic party q great
responsibility. With president
elected by so large plurality and BY.
an overwhelming majority in the.
electoral college, with both senate
and house democratic, the democratic
party must come forward and realize
the expectations that its promises
have excited. The magnitude Of the
Roosevelt contingent is also a spur to
action, for the democratic party can
not turn back from its progress.
sive course with so large q body Of
progressives ready to step in and take
the leadership. The democratic par
ty has no choice but to go forward
even it it were disposed to compro-
mise, and it is not likely that any dis
position to compromise will be shown.
Governor Wilson has conducted
himself so admirably during the CAM
palgn that there is noreason to doubt
his determination to make the most
of this victory for the party by maxi
ing the victory serviceable to the
country.
