ready for snperstructure. The
basement is 23x36. which gives
ample room for heating plant etc.

Fa||on County
Vote Canvass

The county commissioners at a
late hour Tuesday afternoon fin
,shed canvassing the vote for the
Fallon county election and it was
ascertained that while division
carried by the overwhelming ma
iority Of | 469 votes. the honor of
being selected for the county seat
was awarded to Ekalaka by the
narrow majority Of II votes over
its nearest rival Baker. AS the
total does not give Ekalaka q ma
lority Of all votes cast, the selec-
ton Of Ekalaka is only temporary
and holds good only until tile
next general election. AT that
time, however. in order to effect
change, Baker, which will be
Ekalaka's rival, will have to Sc.
cure IS per cent Of the vote, at
least, that is the understanding Of
this paper.
Owing to the late hour at which
the canvassing was completed it
was a mechanical impossihility
for the Daily Star to present
full tabulated table TO it's readers
today, but the totals for the offices
are given, as we'll as the detailed
vote on county seat, which was
considered probably the most in
terrsting detail Of the election to
the general reader.
In the statement of the votes
Oh the officials, the progressive
republican candidate is named
FIRST and the democratic candidate
second. There were but two tic.
kets in the feit. The vot. fol
loas: "a

The OUTRAGED Minority.

Kansas City Star: Four years ago
when the Payne-AIdrich tariff bill was
introduced in the senate the democrat
&c leader, Senator Daniel of Virginia,
devoted his opening speech to de-
nouncing the republicans for p~reparinr
the measure in secret session OF the
finance committee, from which the
democratic members were excluded.
Yesterday Senator Smoot denounced
the Wilson tariff bill as "the outcome
of secret caucus methods such as new
err ruled before.
It's very sad, the way the majority
always trarnple under foot the rights
of the minority.
